AND.PARKERS' INSTITUTE For some time it has been realized, by those who are accustomed to a good garden and the food value of the prod­ ucts raised therein, that too little at­ tention is given to such a valuable and economical source of food supply and that new interest must be created in raising and taking care of a good gar­ den and its products, especially among the younger generations, as they are the future gardeners of the world. At a recent meeting of several per­ sons who are deeply interested in the betterment and advilncement of gar­ dening work in this county, it was de­ cided to encourage the organization of garden clubs thruout the county, mem­ bership in these clubs to be limited to boys and girls of school age. As an inducement to those who might be interested in the work it was decided to offer the following prizes: Prize No. 1--For the best display of any ten vegetables raised by a bey of school age and living in this county, a free trip to the state fair school for boys or the short course in agriculture at Urbana will be given. Prize No. 2--For the best display of any ten vegetables canned by a girl of school age and living in this county, a free trip to the state fair school for girls or the short course in domestic science at Urbana will be given. Btr*' Pl( Clubs In addition to the prizes for raising and canning vegetables, it has been decided to offer two prizes, one of iiO.OO and one of $5.00, to any boy in McHenry county of school age who raises and exhibits the best pig of the exhibit at the McHenry county fair. Prize No. 1--For the best pig, in­ cluding a record of feed, weight, gains, etc., a prize of $10.00 will be given. Prize No. 2--For the second best pig, including a record of feed, weight, gains, etc., a prize of $5.00 will be given.

For further information concerning these clubs inquire at this office. All members must be enrolled before June 1, 1915. Please read this notice to the pupils of the schools or send a copy to anyone whom jou think should be interested. Very truly yours, DELOS L. JAMES, County Agriculturist and Agent U. S. Dept. Agri.

Fred Veelta Mrs. Fred Voeltz, mention of whose death was made in last week's issue of The Plaindealer,, passed away at the family home in this village on April (i, 1915. The deceased was first taken ill about a year or so ago, her condition at that time being of a most serious nature. However, thru applications of the very best that medical skill af­ fords and the assistance given her by ^her loving children, she passed the crisis and for awhile her complete re­ covery was looked for. A short time previous to her death she was again taken down, but in spite of all efforts to save her, she peacefully answered to the call of her Maker. Albertina (Eickstaedt) Voeltz was born at Wu6terbarth, Pommern, Ger­ many, on Jan. 30, 1800, having pasted her fifty-fifth birthday last January. When fifteen years of age her par­ ents emigrated to this country, coming direct to McHenry, where the deceased has made her home ever since. She was united in marriage to Fred Voeltz in this village on Feb. 23, 1879, and during the years of her residence here she has proven one of our most highly respected citizens. She was the mother of seven chil­ dren, all of whom are living and w^pe present at the funeral, 4,hey being1 Mrs. Henry Antholtz of Glen Ell.vn, 111.; Mrs. Chas. Nickels and Mrs. L. P. Bending of Woodstock. Rev. W. .T. Voeltz of Rochelle, Til.; Fred, John and George, who reside at home. These, with a heartbroken husband and father, are left to mourn. She al­ so leaves three brothers and two sis­ ters, as follows: Fred, William and Herman Eickstaedt of Marengo, Mrs. Carl Secor of Union and Mrs. Wm. Voeltz of this village. Besides'these, nine grandchildren and a large circle of friends and Acquaintances mourn her departure. Mrs. Voeltz was a life-long member of the Zion Lutheran church .of this village and has always taken a keen interest in the work connected with the church, as well as being a regular attendant at all services. The funeral took place from her late home on Waukegan street at one o'clock last Friday afternoon, where short services were conducted, tjer body was then taken to the Zion Luth­ eran church, where the last sad rites were conducted by Rev. Laufer of Woodstock, who is also pastor of the McHenry church. The pall bearers were: August Rossmann, Fred Nick­ els, Henry Buchert, Adam Ibsch, Fred Kamholz and Chas. B. Harmsen. In­ terment was made in the family lot in Woodland cemetery. CARD OF THANKS.

PP?ipwp-fci THERE *?:• No Argu Gaorfe Beckwith George Beckwith, a life long resi­ dent of McHenry and the immediate vicinity, passed away at his late home on Waukegan street at ten o'clock last Saturday morning, following an illness of several weeks in duration. Mr. Beckwith was taken ill a few weeks ago. He failed rapidly and, al- tho given the best of care by the fam­ ily physician, as well as his wife and daughter, his system was too weak to stave off death, which came as men­ tioned above. Mr. Beckwith was the-son of Chaun- cey Beckwith, a native of Newport, N. H., ho came here in 1837, and who* owned 2o0 acres of tine land in McHen­ ry township. Mr. Beckwith received his edcuation iii liiu public school here and was also married in this village to Ernestine Irish. He always proved himself an exceptional citizen and a hard worker. He continued his daily routine of work until taken down with his last illness. He leaves to mourn a heartbroken wife and two daughters, Edna and Delia. He also leaves a host of friends in and around McHenry, who extend to the bereaved ones their heartfelt sympathy. The funeral took place from his late home at 10:30 Tuesday morning of this week, Rev. John Ratcliff, pastor of the Universalist church, officiating. Interment was made in Vtoodland cem­ etery. CARD OF THANKS The family of the deceased George Beckwith wish in this public manner to express their gratefulness to the friends and neighbors who so kindly lent their assistance and extended sym­ pathy during their recent sad bereave­ ment. WRESTLING EXHIBITION A large crowd of wrestling fans gathered at the Central opera house last Friday evening to witness three bouts put on by home and Woodstock talent. The main bout was between "Scissor Bill" Worts and Charles Geske, the former winning the match after a hard fought and exciting con­ test. The other two matches, altho quite fast, did not create the interest that was manifested in the feature at­ traction, altho the fans went way well pleased with the evening's ihtertain- ment. CHANGES IN SALOONS A few changes in the proprietorship of saloons will be made in McHenry between now and May 1. 1 ABOUT the wisdom of the saving habit. Everybody admits it. Neither is there any doubt about the advisability of an early beginning. And nobody disputes the ability of this bank to render depositors a safe and satisfactory service. These things ALL being true, it would seem a desirable thing for the intending depositor and this bank to get in touch with each other.. And this being so, it seems to us that the sooner this can be done the better. We are waiting to talk it over with you.
