WEEKLY EXCHANGE ITERS AS TAKEN FROM THE COLUMNS ; OF OUR EXCHANGER Miscellaneous Assortment of News •! |tems In Condensed Form For Bus) t People t*he village of Barrington now flies a, large American flag which measures 10x15 feet. The cost of the flag was $32. The three-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Marten of Harrington passed away Monday after a week's illness of infantile paralysis. Miss Marguerite Clark,- the moving picture star, secured a $10,000 liberty loan subscription from a Barrington SiHend during the recent campaign. Five prominent Barrington citizens were called to Chicago Tuesday of this week to answer charges of being pro- German in their sympathies and speech. While hunting at Fox Lake last Sun­ day a shotgun in the hands of Emil Lindstrom of Evanston was accident­ ally discharged, with the resul$ that a large hole was torn in one of his legs. He was hurried to the Jane McAllister hospital at Waukegan. The Richmond hotel is among the ' first in McHenry county to become Hooverized. Hereafter no meats will be served there on Tuesdays and Wed­ nesdays. Deputy Game Warden C. N. Eld- redge of Richmond caused six arrests last week for violation of the state game laws. Prosecutfons followed each case. A company of home guards may be formed at Marengo this winter if the plans formulated by the war activities committee of the Community club are carried out. Rev. N. A. Sunderlin of Woodstock has been appointed fuel .administrator of McHenry county, while E. C. Robb of Marengo and B. F. Manley of Har­ vard will act as his assistants. > With the new tile factory fast near- ing completion, Wauconda now has an opportunity of securing another new industry, the Moole typewriter factory, which desires to locate in that village. A. H. Henderson of Crystal Lake has announced his candidacy for sher­ iff of McHenry county at the election next fall. Mr. Henderson served the people of this county in this capacity for one ten2ji^?om 1910 to 1914. The Armour people have contracted for 123,000 tons of ice to be supplied by the Consumers' company. This seems to indicate that the former* con­ cern will not have its new ice house ready for this season's crop at Round Lake. Plans have been started to place on Illinois farms next spring 10,000 Chi­ cago boys and 15,000 from other parts of the state. Boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty will be used in an attempt to overcome the farm labor shortage. , Clarence Strom, aged fourteen, of Antioch was taken to the Lake coun­ ty jail at Waukegan charged with robbing the creamery in that village. The lad was unable to furnish a $1,000 bond. He is charged with having stolen a shot gun, watch and knife. Owing to an overflow 'enrollment at the military academy at Lake Geneva, Wis., another new building wjll be erected there at once. The new struc­ ture will be 110 feet long and 64 feet wide and will be known as the power plant and dining hall. One hundred and forty-one students are' now en­ rolled in the institution. L. P. Wilcox, the fifteen-year-old Antioch boy who has been antong the missing for two weeks or more, was found at Crown Point, Ind., last week. Failing to pass the navy examination • the boy wandered ,to the Indiana town where he secured empoyment as a teamster. His father induced hjm to return to his home. According to word sent out last week less than one-half of the men * now in officers' training camps will be given commissions. This means that nearly 2,000 men at Fort Sheridan will be sent home the first of the mabth minus commissions. The rea­ son for the failure to give a greater number of commissions is that the army is overstocked with officers. The main .building of the P.'H. Leonard hotel property at Crystal Lake was destroyed by fire one after­ noon recently. The fire started in the roof and before the flames worked down most of the furniture on the first and second floors was carried to safe­ ty. The building was a three-story structure and was considered one of the best patronized country hotels in northern Illinois. Only $6,000 insur­ ance was carried on the building and . furniture. Two men, who have recently can­ vassed several towns in the vicinity of Chicago, have victimized house­ wives out of several hundred jars, of -preserved fruit. The two men are posing as government "food inspec-' tors" and they obtain the jars of fruit by telling their victims that the gov­ ernment only allows three jars for each member of the family, they tak­ ing with them the surplus jars. Look "out for these grafters.

Spen­ cer and his force of men, was in full operation, talcing care of the grists brought in by farmers from far and near, the connecting rod to the engine crystallized and broke, causing a de­ lay of from two to three weeks' dura­ tion. ' r. • .-/• ' Tho Ml*. Spencer rushed an order for three castings to Massachusetts and he as machinist at the mill is busy, together with a force at his brother's shop at Crystal Lake, he can­ not promise to resume millihg for at least two weks. These are the only dull days in the processing of flour since the thresh­ ing season closed. The mill has been operating day and night to accommo-. date the farmers who haul their grain from all over McHenry county and its tributary towns. That old adage "Nevfer send a boy to mill" has been adhered to and farmeF men prepare to bring their, wheat to* mill, starting at midnight in order to reach McHenry by day-, light. They are in luck, with the long line of teams and autos lined up at the mill, if they get back home at midnight the next night, and in many instances the men blanket their teams and wrapping themselves in extra ones stretch out on top of their load^ of wheat, waiting their turn. In one or two instances, where ac­ quaintances of ours were in line, they did not arrive home for two days. From Huntley, Harvard, Kenosha and many other towns came truck loads of grain to be ground. A popular lady farmer of Harvard came to mill •with her auto loaded with wheat last Wednesday, starting out at 2:00 a. m. in a dense fog. When met by a Plaindealer scribe she was hopeful of returning home at mid­ night, as many had, registered ahead of her. The farmers, in attempting to keep down the price of flour and by furnish­ ing their own homes and communi­ ties, can conserve the yield of greater wheat fields for the.soldiers in France and in going to mill are undergoing some of the hardships which the boys in khaki are experiencing. Mr. Spencer is 100 per Cent efficient in the milling business, it being fully demonstrated by the continuous rush. A daily sight for local traffic is to see twenty teams and autos awaiting their turn to get out their grist at this mill. It is earnestly hoped that the re­ pairs may be speedily made as planned bj^ the hustling proprietor and that the work, which directly or indirectly aims to feed the allies, may be re­ sumed. Frank Masquelet tn France A letter from 'one of our McHenry soldier boys, Frank .Masquelet, from "Somewhere in France" retiched the editor Wednesday morning. He states that he is in service in France and would enjoy hearing from McHenry boys who have gone in training. He enjoys The Plaindealer and depends upon it for news from home. He says in part: "Whoever thought that your ads don't get around the world are mistaken. I was reading a paper printed in France and noticed an ad headed "A Kind Hearted Soul." It was taken from the McHenry PlalVl- dealer and read like this: 'The one who stole the presto tank off my car one night last month will please re­ turn and receive reward.'" -He con­ cludes with kind regards to all Mc- Hfenry friends. Death of Former McHenry Resident T. B. Turner, a highly respected citi­ zen of Belvidere, and who was for­ merly a resident of McHenry, passed away at his home Wednesday morn­ ing. Death was due to a third at­ tack of paralysis. His children were at-his bedside in his last houfs. Mrs. J. E. Wheeler of this village is a daughter and she and her husband have been with him for several days. He was seventy-three years of age. The funeral will be held from his late home Friday. He has mafiy friends and acquaintances in McHenry an^ tributary towns, who extend sympa­ thy to the bereaved wife and family. Fred Powers Dead Fred Powers passed away at the home of his sisters, the Misses Anna and Etta Powers Tuesday morning, Nov. 13, at the age of fifty-five years. He is survived by two sons, William of this village and Raymond, an en­ listed soldier, who is in training at Camp Sherman, Chillicothe, O. His funeral was held at St. Patrick's church this morning, followed by a sermon given by the pastor,* Rev. M. J. McEvoy. Burial in cemetery ad­ joining. Entertains at .Stag * J. H.

Krause, the local news­ dealer, will take over the Riverside dairy milk route on the first of the coming month. It has been common knowledge about town for some time past that A. P. Freund, who has owned and con­ ducted the route during the past few years, desired to dispose of the busi­ ness, so the news of the sale did not come as a surprise. Mr. Freund, hav­ ing been born and raised on one of the fii>«st farms in this locality and hav­ ing learned the farming business from A to Z, has never been perfectly sat­ isfied with the milk route, in spite of the fact that he made a complete success of that line of work. His great desirfe to g<r back to the farm is the one and only reason for the sale of the milk business here. He has rented the John A. Smith farm on the road, east of this village, where he will move his family within the next few weeks. Mr. Krause, who will take over the milk business on Dec. 1, has been a resident of this place for quite a number of years, during which time he has been employed as a cigarmaker at the Barbian Bros, factory. For a number of years he has also been the local newsdealer, which has brought him in touch with most of our people, especially the patrons of the River­ side dairy milk route. Mr. Krause is a hustler in every sense of the word and if ambition to give the public the very best at his command together with hone&t dealings and courteous treatment count for anything his suc­ cess in his new chosen line of work is already assured. Whether or not Mr. Krause will con­ tinue in the newspaper business de­ pends on whether or not he is able to handle same properly along with the milk business. If he finds that same will be a larger job than one man can handle he will, in all likelihood, dis­ pose of the former business. The Plaindealer wishes both gentlemen the success of which they are worthy. GOES TO WASHINGTON, D. C. UBS IS Y.

Hayes Is Called East Assist the Government to ..$25 20 .. 15 . .* 10 (Cnntinnart on Last Page) Ed. L. Hayes was called by the gov­ ernment and left last Monday for Washington to assist the government in extensive poultry work during the period of the war or as long as his services are required. Ed. is a li­ censed judge of the American Poultry association and is without question the father of the thorobred poultry industry of McHenry county. The government is going to make a big drive to produce enough poultry and eggs-to feed the people at home so that the red meat, such as beef, pork and mutton, can go to feed the army. Not only McHenry people, but the entire county congratulates Mr. Hayes on giving up his business to do his bit for his country during the war. The Plaindealer belives the govern­ ment could not have selected a ^better posted man on poultry matters than Mr. Hayes. .CLEVER RIFLEMAN Alfred J. Richardson Wins Medal at Fort Royal^. C. Alfred J. Richardson, a graduate of the McHenry high school in the class of '16, and who enlisted his services in the United States marine corps on June 14, 1917, has qualified as an ex­ pert rifleman. He won his honors at Fort Royal, S. C., a much coveted medal and an increase in'salary after experts had put him and fellow ma­ rines thru a series of training at the various island camps. They are first taught to thoroly un­ derstand the Springfield 30 rifle. Then follow lessons in the art of correct shooting, position, judging of dis­ tance, etc. Each marine m$n has an individual instructor. "Richie," as he was familiarly known, joined the marine corps in Chicago and is now on his way to France. Back In Harness Carl W. Stenger, the popular cash­ ier of the West McHenry State bank, who received such painful burns about his head and face by the pre­ mature explosion of a liberty loan bomb a couple of weeks ago, is again able to be at his duties at the bank. Once more tluit old saying may be ap­ plied in this case--"It's hard to keep a good man down." His numerous friends are all pleased to know of his recovery. Johnsburg Church Fair The various committees appointed to look, after the coming church fair at Johnsburg are now busy in preparing for the big event, which takes place during Thanksgiving week, and from all indications the fair this year will be just as successful as that of last. The opening date will be Sunday, Nov. 25. More particulars next week. McHenry1 Township Is Asked to Do­ nate $900 to the National Y. M. £ A. Fund This is Y. M. C. A. week , Begin­ ning Sunday, Nov. 11, and ending next Sunday, a gigantic * drive to raise $35,000,000 for Y. M. C. A. purposes, both here ahd abroad, is in progress and from the manner in which the good people of the United States are responding to this worthy cause it looks at this time as if the drive will prove a big success. The work of raising this fund is being carried on in about the same manner as the second liberty loan drive, each county in the state being given the allotment which it is ex­ pected to raise. McHenry county's allotment has been set at $15,190 and of this amount the town of McHenry, whi3h includes, besides the village of McHenry, the towns of Ringwood and Johnsburg, as well as all of the rural territory lying within the boundaries of this township, is assessed $900. Mayor R, G. Chamberlm has been appointed chairman of the McHenry township committee, which has been named to devise ways and means of soliciting and collecting this town­ ship's allotment. The mayor has ap pointed sub-committees, who have al ready started out on the task of col­ lecting ghr allotment. For tne purpose of familiarizing our people more thoroly with the Y. M. C. A. and with the great good-that this society is doing and will do dur­ ing the war, a patriotic rally was ar­ ranged for and held at the Central opera house on Tuesday evening of this week with Hon. David R. Joslyn of Woodstoiblc as the principal speaker. On account of the fact that the rally was gotten up on very short notice, giving very little time for ad­ vertising the event, not a very large audience was present to listen to Mr. Joslyn. However, what the meeting lacked in quantity was made up in quality, as we dare say that the gathering was composed of 100 per cent Americans. Mr. Joslyn's speech- was interest­ ing, instructive and right to the point. Pe started out by going over the early history of this county, relating as to how a few people, known as pilgrims, came over from England and settled on our shores and how later on these pilgrims, together with those who fol­ lowed them, defended the liberty of our country by rejecting England's plan of placing taxation upon tea im­ ported to this country and how they fought and won a great victory over England, so that our liberty might not be taken away fron\ us. He told of how Germany has attempted to de­ prive us of the liberties of the ocean, pointing out to us the narrow chan­ nels that we must use in the carrying on of our commerce with other na­ tions. We must use the N channels mapped out by her or our boats would be sunk and this she did, thus strip­ ping us of the rights of the ocean. Not only this, but she also sunk our passenger boats, and by so doing killed some of our innocent women and children. And again, Germany told us that we had no right to manu­ facture and sell ammunition and war supplies, a thing that she herself did when other countries besides her own were at war. All these things, the speaker pointed out, assisted in the breaking of relationship and the final declaration of a state of war and brings us back to the fighting lines for the same purpose that this coun­ try has fought all of her previous battles--OUR LIBERTY. After discussing the war at some length the speaker bfought his audience right down to the present day, relating as how his own son was drafted and now doing duty some­ where in France. One could have heard the drop of a pin anywhere in the spa­ cious hall when the speaker took up a few minutes in telling how he bade his son farewell previous to his de­ parture for the fighting lines. "I never again expect to see that boy" he said, and there was a silence never before experienced by t the writer. "This," he added, "has happened in millions of our homes and before the war has been fought to a successful conclusion it will be brought into millions of more hame in this coun­ try." The speaker then went into details regarding the Young Men's Christian association, which has set out to raise $35,000,000 s> that our boys, both at the front and here at" home, may now and then be given a touch of real home life and Christianity, without which no battle or no war can ever be won. It is Christianity that the boys need on the fighting lines and when they return from the trenches they also need the com­ fort that are given them thru the Y. M. C. A. As the speaker said on Tuesday night, the Y. M. C. A. fol­ lows the boys right up to the trenches. Their buildings are continually within (Continued on last page) Three hundred and fifty women reg­ istered at the two pricincts, McHenry and Ringwood, last week and many more will be added to the list in the house to house canvass, which will be made during the next two weeks. By a house to house canvass we mean that any who have not registered will call up any one of the official regis­ trars, who will accommodate them by calling upon them and filling out the registration card. Scarcely a girl or housewife Regis­ tered who" did not proffer some help, each being desirous of doing her part in the world war. "Two or three of our young ladies registered that they were willing to go to France as sten­ ographer, nurse or ambulance driver, A married lady said she was willing and capable of supervising any farm work in the community that would not retard the work upon her own farm, in short, if she did not have to go out^of this district. One sweet young miss will do light hospital tfork, corresponding and reading aloud for convalescent soldiers. McHenry ladies were not the least bit timid concerning the age question. One dear old mother declared she was so old that she had outgrown her use­ fulness for knitting or sewing, but would pledge herself to pray fervent­ ly every day that God might bring peace and that He might supply the needs to our soldiers at home and abroad. Women, who are already giving a part of their time to knitting and sewing tor the. Red Cross, offered more of their time if need be and many who could leave their home towns in case of emergency will do social ser­ vice and child delinquency work in order that our nation may be kept clean and wholesome for the return of the "flower of our land," ITEMS OF LOCAL BIEKSf AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDBALBK REPORTERS DURING WEEK ' • ^ What People Are Doing In TMs Vil­ lage and the Immediate Vicinity-- Other Short Paragraphs Join the Bed Croaa. ^ A number of the water gttttetv about town were repaired last week.

Football Next Sunday The football fans of McHenry and vicinity will again be given an oppor­ tunity of watching their favorites in action here next Sunday afternoon, when the local town team meets the heavy Burlington, JYis., eleven. The Wisconsin boys are said to be fast players and only last Sunday succeed­ ed in trouncing the Lake Geneva town team 63 to 0. The locals realize that they will be pitted against a stiff prop­ osition next Sunday, but the, boys feel confident of giving the Badger state outfit a tough battle.
