F., of this village, as oh this day twelve new members were taken into the order and the demobilization of the service flag took place. The event was held at the K. of C. hall, which place is also the headquarters of the local woman's court, and was attended by nearly one hundred. The initiation 'Work started early in the afternoon. - The drill team, with Captain Mrs. J, C. Bickler at the head, and under the supervision of the chief ranger of the court, Mrs. Catharina Freund, took the ne&r members thru the floor work, in a manner as only this team knows how. It was a pretty spectacle with each and every member of the team carrying her respective part in a manner that reflected great credit upon the team as well as each individual member. At the close of the initiation work the demobilization of the service flag took place. Here once more the drill team took an active part. Taking their places at the f6ot of the flag, the following was then read: Columbia, you called^ on me For husbands, sons, no less, To send them forth to fight and die, When you were in distress. My men have since returned' ? To their homes from o'er the sea, And I request that you declaro thean Now.absolved and free." "Columbia" replied: "Fair Forester: Your men have served me faithfully Wherever they were sent; No soldiers were more loyal Or were more valor bent. They stood the test on every/turn, Upheld their country's fight; And made this nation safe again For justice, freedom, right! So, therefore, I shall now accede To your*, expressed desire, Demobilize your relatives Who have been under fire. And shouRI the tyrant e'er again. On land or sky or seja, Disturb the even tenor . Of this nation's liberty, I shall expect your relatives. To be as brave, as true As those who fell on Flander's field And those returne.. to you!" The guard of honor, Miss Rosemary Nye, next appeared in a most fitting recitation in honor of the boys who served in the late war. The removing of the stars from the flag then took place and as the name of each son or brother of the sisters of the court was called a star was removed. The flag contained thirty-eight stars, one of which was of gold, and when the name repre Rented by the gold star was called (George Schreiner), all stood with bowed heads as a silent tribute to him who had made the supreme sacrifice in order that our country might continue to enjoy the freedom given to us by our forefathers. The impressive ceremonies were concluded .with the singing of "My Country Tis of Thee." This concluded the work of the afternoon and within a short time thereafter all sat down to an elab orate banquet, which had been prepared and was served by »a committee previously appointed for the pur pose. The balance of the evening was then passed at cards and dom inocs, after which light refresAnents were partaken of, and all departed for their homes feeling that a most profitable as well as enjoyable afternoon and evening had been spent Now that 43t. Clara's court has sub-rented the K. of C. hall, which gives them the room that had been so badly needed, some very fine meetings and social events are sure to follow.

You Never Can Tell A couple of young men drove out from Chicago last we®k in spite of the bad condition of the roads and, altho they were towed to McHenry by a farmer when their machine got stuck near Volo, they again made their appearance in McHenry this week. Their second appearance in. town created more or less specula tions among sonic of our citizens. does seem that their business here must be of a most important nature to drive out from Chicago with roads in the condition that they are today As iar as we are able to learn no one seems to know what has brought the two. to McHenry at this time.1 Move to Elgin Mr. and Mrs. R. T. Wray and daughter closed their home in this village the first of the week and have gone to Elgin, where Mrs. Wray has accepted a position as teacher of the third grade in the Geo. P. Lord school of that city. McHenry people will be sorry to lose this estimable family, who are accompanied to their new home by the best of wishes of their many BRITZ PASSED AWAY LAST FRIDAY NIGHT HOME FROM SIBERIA Laat of Boys to See Service in Late U V War Now Hoftie Whole Family Is New Down With Influenza-- Infant Also Called Away Last Evening--Nurse Engaged The saddest death the writer has ever been called upon the record occurred east of this village last Saturday night, when Peter Britx, father of nine children, most of whom are small, passed away following an attack of pneumonia. ' It will be remembered that the deceased fell victim to a most unusual accident while employed on the ice here a few weeks ago,' at which time dynamite cap he was carrying in his pocket accidentally exploded and blew large hole in his right thigh. This xident occurred on Dec. 18. After two weeks' confinement at the home his sister, Mrs. Math. Baur, in this village, he had sufficiently recovered from the accident to allow him to be taken to his home. Apparently he was recovering nicely from this accident when about a week before his death he was taken down with influenza and on account of his weakened condition brought on by the explosion of the dynamite cap he was unable to withstand the ravages of the much dreaded disease and passed away as previously mentioned. The taking away of the head of a family of nine children is indeed sad enough, but this is not all. His wife and every member of the family were taken ill at about the same time and, vfrhile most of the children are now out of danger, they have not entirely recovered and one can scarcely imagine the scene that would greet one were you to visit this home at this time. With the mother (and nine children all ill, and the head of the flmily called away, the case is surely the most pathetic ever brought to our attention. Since the death of the father and the existing conditions have become known charitable hearts in this vil lage .have been busy providing Hie needs and also • supplying a nurse. Subscription papers haye been circulated among the people of the village and the response to same has not only been instantaneous, but most generous as well. The local chapter of the American Red Cross society has engaged a nurse, who arrived at the Britz home last night, and under the care of the family physician, Dr. D. G. Wells, and the nurse it is hoped that all of the family may be brought back to health. Those who have not been solicited and wish to donate towards this fund may leave their contributions at any of the following named places: J. C. Bickler's, M. M. Niesen's or N. 3 Justen's. Obituary Peter Britz was born at Slennenberg, Germany, forty-five years ago At the age of three he came, with his parents, to America and thence settled in the vicinity of Jdhnsburg, where he grew to'manhood. He was twice married, his first wife having been Kathryn Niesen, who, with a child, passed away some years ago. Three children were born to this union. His second mar riage was to Emma Bach, who, with the nine children, is left to mourn the untimely death of a beloved husband and father. Besides the immediate family, he also leaves a grief stricken mother, who lives at Johnsburg, two sisters and one brother, Mrs. Math. Baur of this village and Mrs. Peter M. May and William Brit* of Spring Grove. The deceased was a hard working man, kind and loving to his family and a good citizen. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic ' church in this village on Monday morning of this week, Rev. Edw. Berthold officiating. Interment was made in the family lot in the Johnsburg cemetery beside the body of his first wife. The people of the entire community extend to the grief stricken family moat sincere sympathy. Later The youngest of th® children passed away last night. r Entertained at "Kid" Party Mr. and Mrs. P. M. Justen entertained the members of the Variety club at a "kid" party at their comfortable home on Waukegan street last Thursday evening. The host and hostess as well as their guests were in "kid" attire and there was plenty of activity for all during the entire evening, which was pa'ssed in games of various kinds, followed by refreshments daintily served by the amiable hostess. Honors at the various games were awarded to Mrs. A, I. Froehlich and Geo. A. Stilling. llie last of the McHenry boys to join the colors during the war are now safely at home. Leo Smith and Carl Patzke, who left this village a year ago last spring, and who have been in Siberia most of this time, are now at their homes here. Mr. Smith was the first of the two to reach McHenry, he arriving last Friday night, 'while Carl Patzke pulled in on Sunday morning. Needless to say tl.at the young men's arrival brought gladness and joy into the hearts of their loved ones. The two McHenry boys have been together and in the same outfits ever since they left McHenry. They left Siberia on December 8 and arrived at San Francisco on January 11. Two stops were ma<$&r on the homeward trip and shore leave was given the boys on both occasions. The first ITERS OF LOCAL DfTEKST AS PICKED UP BY PLAIWMai BP* REPORTERS DURING V", jfe occasions stop was in Japan, where the usual "coaling up" was made and thence at Honolulu. Both of the young men were in the very best of spirits and are looking fine. Mr. Patzke told a Plaindealer reporter, when seen on Monday, that he had no complaint to make regarding the treatment that had been accorded the American soldiers by the people of Siberia. Altho the conditions over there aren't anything to entice an American to make his home there, the people as a whole are kind hearted, but not particularly fond of work. "They have a great deal of respect for the American soldier," declared Patzke, "and they will go fifty-fifty with you at any time," he added. But, according to the young man's story, such a feeling of friendship does not exist between them and the Japs.' Much bitterness exists between the two and there is more or less trouble- between them almost constantly. On one occasion, Mr. Patzke informed the reporter, he, with a party of Americans, saw a Japanese officer behead seven Bolshiviks he had captured after a band of Reds had attacked and killed a number of his men. The invitation had been extended to the entire outfit, of which the McHenry young man was a member, but the acceptance of the invitation was by no means general. Mr. Patzke participated in but one skirmish while in Siberia and this, he said, was of little consequence, as the Reds were dispersed with but little effort on the part of the Americans. Like all of the other boys who served in Sibera, he speaks very highly of the beauties of the Hawaiian Islands and particularly of Honolulu. Excellent treatment is always accorded the Americans by the natives of this isle and it is generally with a feeling of regret that the boys leave after their much abbreviated stop there. Since their return home the two young men are being kept busy relating the stories of their many and varied experiences since leaving Mc Henry in the spring of 1918.

We refer to the McHenry Township Fire Insurance company, which has its headquarters at Johnsburg, and which has been in existence for many years In 1918 the company was incorporated and since that time it has shown a healthy growth, until today there are about eighty policies outstanding, totaling $140,000. The business of the company was increased to the extent of about $50,000 and from all indications the present year will see equally as large an increase if not larger. With the year just beginning the company al ready had eight applications for pol icies. The company, up until last year, issued insurance only on farm buildings and personal property, but since then policies on live stock are also being issued and this, according to one official, more than anything else has assisted greatly in the large increase in business during the year just ended. Wm. B. Tonyan is the president of the company; Math. N. Schmitt, sec retary, and Michael Freund of this village, agent. Workmen Take Train On account of the impassable con dition of the roads between this vil lage and the Terra Cotta plant, Mc Henry employes are now going to and from work via train instead of automobile. Several efforts to keep the road open were made during the past two weeks, but to no avail, but it is hoped that it will not be long before the roads will again be open to travel.
