County Board Create Precinct At the last meeting of the county board of supervisors a new precinct was created in McHenry township, making a third precinct. The division starting from the south line of pre­ cinct No. 1, or Ringwood precinct, on the Richmond road, is as follows: From center of road to . comer of Elm street, near J. B- ferry's residence, to VOLO WELCOMES YOU Kg Parish Picnic There. Next Sun­ day, June -17 The members of St. Peter's parish, Volo, ^ extend to the people of Mc­ Henry and the surrounding territory a hearty invitation to be their guests at Volo next Sunday, when a big par­ ish picnic will take place on the church grounds in that village, j The parishioners of St. Peter's par­ ish have held numerous very success­ ful picnics in the past and know just what the general public likes in the line of entertainment and have made their plans accordingly. Dinner and supper will be served by the ladies of the parish, while the various amusements, games, raffles and music will make up a {lay that should be enjoyed by everyone pres­ ent. The parish a few years ago started a fund with which to erect a new church edifice and while the fund has shown gradual increase ever since the Volo folks arenH. just exactly satis­ fied and would like to see the amount swelled by at least several hundred dollars at this time. Each and every member of the parish is working along most enthusiastically and every­ one is'bent on making this the biggest thing of the kind ever held in Volot Social Wheel Members of the Social Wheel met with Mrs. Mary Ferguson at her home on McCollum's lake on Thursday aft­ ernoon of last week and were delight fully entertained.

Precinct No. 2 lies westerly of this line and precinct No. 3 lies easterly. Thus it will be seen that old town and east of this line will be known as precinct No. 3. The brick building formerly kjiown as the Henry Colby store and now owned by Jos. Engeln was spoken of as a likely place for the polls, on this occasion was cheerfully fur­ nished by Mrs. J. C. Holly, Mrs. T. J. Walsh and Mrs. Hanson and was much enjoyed. The next meeting of the Social Wheel will be held at the Universalis! church parlors on June 21.

Miscellaneous Assortment of New* Items In CoiMkiwed <Form Pw itusy People . Kyrl's famous band gave concerts at Lake Geneva, Wis., on June 2 and 3. Harvard now has twenty-eight of her young men enlisted in *the state militia. Several poker players were recently hauled into court at Genoa, 111. They all plead guilty and were assessed the minimum fine. Percy Peck, of Elgin is the new motorcycle cop at Woodstock' and they say that he is showing no mercy to law violators. The Shurtleff & Peters company of Marengo has placed an order for a machine with which to manufacture screen windows. The Western Union Telegraph com­ pany has moved its Lake Geneva of­ fice from the depot to Harry New­ man's store on Broad street. Mrs. C. A. Goodsell of Harvard was named president of the" county feder­ ation of clubs at a meeting held at the county seat one day recently. , Telephone operators went out on a strike at Belvidere one day last week. The demands by the girls were for shorter hours and" higher wages. A number of the small town mer­ chants have gotten together of late and placed their business on a strict­ ly cash basis. A very sensible idea. The city marshal and police magis­ trate at a recent meeting of the Har­ vard city council reported the city to be prelty well cleaned up from vice. Harvard has already taken $57,000 worth of' Liberty bonds and the peo­ ple of that city and surrounding coun­ try hope to swell this amount to $70,000. The Dixie Inn" is the new' name of the Lake Zurich hotel. All colored servants have been engaged, who are now serving the public in true south­ ern style. On account of the fact that there hasn't been any businessman several months the postal savings department of the Palatine postoffice has been dis­ continued. Mrs. Charlotte Miller Kidd, known as the oldest white child born in Chi­ cago, passed away at her late home at Lake Villa last Friday. She was born March 9, 1835. John Segergren, employed at the Elgin national watch factor^ during the past thirty years, dropped dead at his bench at seven o'clock last Satur­ day morning. He was sixty years of age. Hebron's Red Cross society already has one hundred members and the ladies hope to have a membership of 300 by June 14, the date set aside for a flag raising and big demonstration in that village. It has just come to light that members of locker clubs over in Lake county have "squealed" and as a re­ sult many of the proprietors have paid heavy fines. Most of the clubs have now been put out of business. The naval training station at North Chicago will soon have a three hun­ dred piece band, with John Philip Sousa as associate director. The famous musician plans to train that many and then create them into six units. By plowing up a piece of land near Gage's lake that had never before been cultivated, workmen found a number of Indian relics, consisting mostly of flint arrow heads, which varied in measurements from one to six inches. Another mound in that vicinity will be opened up shortly and it is expect­ ed* that valuable relics will be found. Lake Zurich means to do things this summer. Besides maintaining a first- class ball team in the Suburban league, the prosperous summer resort also boasts of a well organized Busi­ ness Men's club, a large dancing pa­ vilion and an . open aj? feh$at*e. Chi­ cago capital is playing a prominent part in making the village one of the liveliest between here and Chicago. Harry Adams, who returned to his home in Marengo a short time ago, after having been missing since last January, is now making his headquar­ ters in the county jail, following his arrest at Rockford on Tuesday of last week. He is charged with the theft of $25 from the home of Peter Nor­ man at Marengo. He is also charged with the theft of money he took from a suitcase at Woodstock a short time before his disappearance from that city last winter, M. P. Duggan, former Hartland young man, has just realized $2,400 from his first experience on * tract of 4% acres of Florida land. Early this March the young man planted the tract to potatoes and dug his crop, yielding 200 barrels, about two weeks ago. He shipped same to New York city, where he received $12 per barrel. He also set out 93,000 heads of cab­ bage last January, but the February frost entirely ruined the crop. Had the crop withstood the frost and yielded as similar crops have in other years he would have received the neat ram of yUMEQQ. - ĵ EBCY LODTZ WRITES Meimber of U. S. Marines,a Weekly Correspondent Home Iforfolk, Va., June 10, 1917, : Dear Dad--This is Sunday and We are having a fine rain and very cord so all we can do is sit around the barracks. It is a sin that they do not make us work on Sunday, for in one day we get lazy, and this is no lazy man's place. I have not been out to drill in the last two days, as I have been on special detail, doing janitor Work. We all have to take a turn at that. The feed is getting1 poor. All we hrf^Jiad for the last few days is com beef and cabbage. I suppose they are trying to get us used to German dishes, so we will be able to dine with the kaiser. The drilling is quite stiff ajjd we are all in. A lot of the fel­ lows break down and have to go to sick bay, but 1 have not been that bad but I do not like the feed and about all I eat is bread and water. A little military life is a good thing for a few of the fellows who have never been away from home, for when they get back they can eat most any thing and be mighty thankful to get it. 1 expect to be out of herein about three weeks and then will be more •f a free man. From here we lire going to Quantico, near Washington, D. C., and from there I don't know where. I have a hunch we will go to the Phil­ ippine Islands or some place- like that. By all reports* we won't go to France right away, but no one can tell exactly. I will close for this time and give my l>est regards to all the McHenry folks. Hoping to hear from you soon I remain, Sincerely, Percy. P. S.--Ask some kind hearted woman to make a cake and send it to us, as such a thing would be very much appreciated by the boys. First 60 B* Marine Barracks, Norfolk, Va. WRITES THE PLAINDEALBR Walter Fay Describes Army Life as Seen at Key West Key West Barracks, Fla., June 9,1917. Dear Friend--I have been receiving The Plaindealer every week so I thought I would tell you what I am doing. I think we are stationed at one of the best posts in the United States. We were examined and sworn in at Jefferson Barracks; Mo.,« and ^quipped with haversacks, clothes and traveling bags. Leaving there May 9 we arrived here May 12. We drill two hours a day. At first it was two hours' infantry drill, but now we drill one hour artillery and one hour in­ fantry. We are drilling on 3 inch 15 pound rapid fire guns now,, but will drill on the 6, 10 and 12 inch rapid fire and 12 inch mortars soon. We will move to Fort Taylor soon and sleep in tents. We sleep in beds at these barracks. There are many interesting things here, with 20,000 population one-tenth white and the rest Cubans, Spanish and negro. All kinds of Cuban money here. The houses have no chimneys and are ill kept. There are several cigar shops here. I see many boys ten years old smoking cigars. One of the largest wireless stations in the United States is here at the naval station. There are many sailors and marines here, besides the militia. The thermometer registers ninety degrees most of the time, with a breeze blowing all the time. Yours truly, Walter Fay. Automobile CWrners, Look! We have just installed one of the newest and most up-to-date battery charging plants and, more than that, we are able to give you over night service on charging. Bring your bat­ tery in at night and you can have it the next morning, or if you bring it in the morning you can have it at night. Remember, that to give proper ser­ vice and retain long life, a battery must be fully charged all the time. Stop in any time and we will test your battery at no charge. Remem­ ber, too, that we do repairing and welding in a most satisfactory manner and at reasonable cost. Selling's Garage Studebaker Agency Phone 28 Hie Tale of Two Sleeves Thru the efforts of Overton & Cow- en, local agents for the Willys Knight cars here, the moving picture, entitled The Tale of Two Sleeves," was shown at the Central opera house on Tues­ day evening of this week. Admis­ sion cards had previously been handed and mailed out by the hustling auto­ mobile firm, which brought out a large crowd to see and hear about the con­ struction of the Overland car and Willys Knight motor. The pictures were most interesting and this, to­ gether with the descriptive matter and lecturer, who explained the pictures as they appeared upon the screen, KNHNRS ITS ALMA HAIR ALUMNI ASSOCIATION WEL­ COMES CLASS OF 17 r v - Banquet and Reception IM* Place** the McHenry House Last Saturday Evening The McHenry Alumni association honored its Alma Mater and welcomed the distinguished class of '17 at fla annual celebration on the evening- of June 9 at the McHenry House. The number of guests exceeded ex­ pectations. Seventy reservations had been made and ninety guests were present. The banquet may be char­ acterized as being delightfully in­ formal. The merriment began where the worthy toastmaster and a group of fellow students were assembled and continued around the festive board. (AH except the song.) A four course dinner was promptly served and it was soon evident that the excellent quality was a good stim­ ulus, as conversation was at its height. In a free and natural manner A. H. Pouse welcomed the new class and while the class may not remember the greatness of this speech, they shall not soon forget the sincerity and the character of this welcome. .Mr. Pouse always delivers his talks free and off hand so we have no copy to reprint* Miss Aileen O'Reilly responded in the following: Members of the alumni: As a representative of the class of 17 I wish to thank you all for the cordial welcome extended to us thru your brilliant spokesman. I do not wish to question your ex­ cellent judgment, but think that the part which I am playing tonight should have been assigned to a more able member of the class £han I. However, I feel capable in saying that we surely appreciate the good time you have provided for us and hope we will prove a worthy addition to your honorable association. . We feel confident that our over grammatical tho nevertheless glorious motto, "Do it or bust," will spur us on to as noble efforts as you, as members of the alumni, have accomplished. May we, who as a class have stood loyally to­ gether for four years, prove as staunch and true as the present alumni, whose shining example we will valiantly endeavor to follow. This was well received. A letter, written by Mr. Nye, was read to the class by Mrs. Nye, which follows: In the land of the Dakota*, Sometimes I am dreaming of you. Dreaming of our days together, Days of cloud and days of sunaklne. And tonight altho I'm absent, In the realms of thought 11m with CANCELS LIBERTY MEETING - # iMcMwHB. Walsh Was to Hare Spok­ en Here Last Night Richard Bishop Walsh of this vil­ lage was to have spoken on the sub­ ject of "liberty Bonds" at the Cen­ tral qpera house last evening, but ow­ ing to unavoidable circumstances it was necessary to cancel the meeting. We herewith reproduce the letter and telegram received by Dr. C. H. Fegers, which, explains the situation you. Greetings to the class "of 1917. For four years your little fleet has been riding safely in harbor. Tonight the anchor will be weighed and slowty you will drop down the tide. In I few hours rfiore your clustered sails will be scattered, drifting specks, each following its own horizon, each going towards its goal. But while you still linger here in the narrows the vision of some high and comprehensive ideal you have cherished in these fonr years must reawaken your finest (purpose and devotion. You have known the rules in prep­ aration, You will meet the laws of service. Service makes peculiar claims upon culture. It gives penalties and1 re­ wards. Your compensation will be according to how you serve. If the aspirations be the highest the sym­ pathy will be broad. It is the end in view that gives character to the man and to his work. In the college world, where some of you may live, there is oftentimes prevalent a spirit of self- sufficiency, it is the result of the pride of intellect added to the pride of youth.' Guard against this. To every strong spirit comes a time when it must burst from the thralldom of self and live in the realm of devotion. Service is not a matter of glad ret­ rospect flone. Its highest reward is here in the living present. If your choice be intellectual education you will help preserve the race of man; if industrial education you will serve in the dignity of honest labor. What­ ever the choice we should not forget the moral education--it trains the heart. To whatever extent the other two are developed if the heart is not right we cannot be prosperous in the highest sense. 1 am sure your teach­ ers join me in saying: "Then sail on class of '|7, We leave you tb your fate. >. To service grand and noble, Your lives we dedicate." The letter and delivery were much appreciated. Harry Eldredge of Chicago, a mem­ ber of the first graduating class of the McHenry high school gave a few friendly lines of greeting, reminding all with a closing remark that the re­ mainder of the program would be en­ joyed at Stoffel's hall, where all in­ terested in dancing repaired. The beautiful evening was in keeping with the spirit of the merry celebration. Read The Plaindealer and keep poet- local happfniiigs. Letter Received s ' Sprmf{ielii/ fll/, June 10, 1917. 'Dr. C. H. Fegersi ' McHenry, III. My Deatr Dr. Fegers--I am enclos­ ing the copy of wire sent you from this city last-night, and I very much regret the fact that I will be unable to go thru with the plaits I wrote you of last Friday afternoon. In talking with the Federal Loan people over the phone yesterday they suggested that I check another field for them, and after this has been done I am to go over to Christian county to assist with the campaign, so I will be unable at this time to arrive home for Wednesday night. Up to this writing I have sold $1,180,600 of the Liberty Loan bonds. Sincerely yours, Richard B. Walsh. Telegram Received Springfield, 111., June 9, 1917f To Dr. C. H. Fegers, • McHenry, 111. Much to my regret I shalt be un­ able to be in McHenry this week. The Federal Reserve bank of Chicago has given me another assignment, which will force me to remain here until after the fifteenth of the month, so please do nothing as to the meeting in McHenry. Very sorry over change in plans. Richard B. Walsh. We are sorry that it was found nec­ essary to cancel Mr. Walsh's engage­ ment in McHenry, as we feel sure that the Central opera house would have been taxed to its utmost capcaity. Mr. Walsh is very popular in McHenry and his hundreds of friends in and around the village would surely have been pleased to greet him and listen to the important message he was to have delivered. BISHOP MUUDOON STAYS LARGE CIOWD AT RACES OVER THBEE HUNDRED ATTBNlf _ OPENING MATDfEHf ' a & Papal*Bulletin From Rome Says He Wilt ConthuM Bishop of Rockford Announcement was made some time ago that Right Rev. P. J. Muldoon, bishop of Rockford, had been trans­ ferred to Los Angeles, Cal. A peti­ tion from the clergy of the diocese, unanimously endorsed, was forwarded to Rome, praying that he be kept at the head of this diocese. It is understood by the local clergy that news reached Chicago friends of the bishop early this week that a papal bulletin, granting the request of petitioners, was on its way from Rome, which will be pleasing news to the clergy as well as every Catholic in the diooese. . Killed In Auto Accident Mrs. Carrie Howard, widow of the late Robert Howard, formerly of Mc­ Henry, met instant death when the automobile in which she was out for pleasure, crashed into a street car on Walnut street, Elgin, on Tuesday evening. Her son, Lloyd, driver, re­ ceived a severe scalp wound, which may prove fatal. Her sister, Mrs, Florence Howard, sustained a broken leg and other severe injuries. Both are in Sherman hospital. The de­ ceased as well as the injured have many dear friends and relatives in this village and community, who are grieved over the fatal accident. Mr. and Mrs. Gene Matthews of Barreville are parents of the two Mrs. Howards and were called to Elgin immediately after the accident occurred. Birthday Surprise The Bluebird class of the Univer- salist Sunday school gave their teach­ er, Miss Mabelle Wheeler, a pleasant surprise at her home on Green street 6n Thursday evening, June 7.

It was finally decided to get the track in the very best shape possible under : the conditions and the horse ownen were then notified to have their steeda • on hand. Workmen were out on the trade alfcf'! most continually from early morning until the time the first race was called at about 3:45 p. m., by which tim» they, with the assistance of numerous automobiles, succeeded in getting the. speedway in fairly good condition. | While the crowd of last Saturday could not have been compared with those of days of old, the track looked just as familiar as ever, and with a little more work can be placed bads to its former first-class condition. In looking over the crowd present one could see quite a few of the faces who watched manj a race here in the past, altho such familiar figures et the past as Geo. W, Owen, Geo, Smith, C. T. Eldredge, F. K. Granger, Jerry Sherman, Ben Throop and otheia were missing, as were also the long row of stalls, the spacious amphithea­ tre and last, but not least, Geo. Cortia and his wheel.
