The flour and feed mill at Union is now operating twenty-four hours a day. Eighty-eight hogs were disposed of by a Whitewater farmer the other day for $3,419. According to last week's Hebron , Tribune, Woodstock is soon to have a new newspaper. Four of the mail trains that have heretofore served the Harvard terti- ' tory have been discontinued. The Standard Oil company's new station at Hebron has been opened with Ross D. Sill as manager. Lake Geneva's new fire whistle is located on the roof of the opera house, where it is now being tried out. The Hebron picture show, which has been closed down since the first of the year, reopened last Saturday evening. The Woodstock band is again hold­ ing regular rehearsals in anticipation of the concerts it hopes to give the coming summer. The Fair department store at Ma­ rengo was entered one night last week and the strong box relieved of some twenty odd dollars in change. The pupils of the Crystal Lake pub­ lic school have thus far purchased war saving certificates and thrift stamps to the amount of $1,166.75. The officials at Crystal Lake have set out to put a stop to roller skating and the operating of coaster wagons on the sidewalks in the business dis­ trict of that city. The Chicago chemist, who analyzed tltte poison in the famous Lambert <uise at Waukegan, is asking the Lake county board of supervisors for his pay, which amounts to $400. During the month of January there were approximately 20,000 soldiers quartered at Camp Grant and in this period the sum of $35,000 was spent with Rockford bakers for pie alone. Practice drills for men who have been examined and placed in class one are now being conducted at the Woodstock armory on Tuesday even­ ings of each week. Drilling starts at eight o'clock. Beginning this week the Woodstock /stores will be open on Wednesday and Saturday nights of each week as well as on Oliver pay day. The stores dur­ ing the past several weeks have been dosed every night. After the city council had voted to construct a new bridge over the out­ let of the lake at Lake Geneva, the mayor vetoed the action and as a re­ sult the improvement will be left to a vote of the people. A fair way, to say the least. Two pickle factories are in sight for Harvard. The L. Woodard Pickle company of Marengo as well as the Wardway Food company of Chicago have both obtained building sites in that city and both concerns may de­ cide to locate there. The Munsell Polishing company of Chicago has sent a man into the Mc- Henry county field with a view of getting up a county history. The vis­ itor is receiving much encouragement and the work of obtaining the data may be started soon. Further transfers of land at Shel- ton Lake, near Area, Lake county, hpve been made recently, making a total of 300 acres purchased. Tis said that a $1,000,000 institution for the training of yountr for th* priest; hood is to be erected on the site. Thomas Leonard, a farmer residing near Hebron, was attacked by an ang^y hull one day last week and re­ ceived severe bruises before the an- imal coulB be driven away. The fact that the bull was without horns prob­ ably accounts for his escape without serious if not fatal injuries. • I A mail pouch, containing between 125 and 150 checks of the Woodstock Typewriter company as well as other first-class mail, was rifled at the Northwestern depot in that city between eight and nine o'clock last Wednesday evening. Local as well as federal authorities are Working on the c#se, but thus far do clew has been established. The case of the city • of Crystal Lake vs. Abraham Kadererwitz, a junk dealer of that city, has now been tried twice, but owing to errors in both instances has prevented a con "elusion of the matter. A third suit is likely to follow. The suit was brought against the defendant on ac­ count of the latter's failure to pay Hie annual city license fee of $50. 4 Thru the efforts of the president of . ij|ie Marengo Community club the Hembers of Co. A, 341st infantry, of Q Camp Grant, will be entertained in that city on Saturday and Sunday Hext. The company, which numbers j^bout eighty men, will arrive in that 'llty some time next Saturday after­ noon and arrangements for their en­ tertainment are now being completed. PAUL BARBIAN WRITES - . . ^ No Time For Play For Cadets at XJaft* versity of Texts . , FOX RIVER IMPROVEMENT The following interesting letter from Paul Barbian to his mother here will be read with interest by his many friends in and around McHenry: Austin, Texas, Mar. 2, 1918. Dear Mother--This is Saturday aft­ ernoon and we are rejoicing over the results of a good week's work. This has been the first hour this week that my time has been my own. Yester­ day we had examination. A - very worrisome night was sspent thinking of what the results would be. For­ tunately most of us passed. Two of the fellows "busted" as they call it. They will be sent home. In order to give, you some idea of the curriculum, I will give you a brief status of our studies. Well, we get school at 7:30. The study and lecture consists of hygiene, military law and army regulations. 9 _to 11 infantry drill. Oh, this is tiresome in this hot sun; 11 to 12 calisthenics; 12:20 din­ ner. The meals are excellent and, as you know this is my hobby, good eats, so to say this is the only time I re­ lieve my mind from study." 1:30 p.. m. to 3 wireless; 3 to 5 drill; 5 to 6 machine gun. At last supper hour. Gee, it tastes good. 7:30 to 9:30 we review all studies of the day. 10:00 o'clock bedtime and we sure are all present and ready to fall in. All told, sixteen hours a day. No, mother, there's .no time for amusements such as we had at Ft. Wayne. What amus£ us most are good grades. So hard to make these s what makes it so appreciable. You cannot comprehend what a man must acquired to be able to meet with this discipline. For instance, all buttons on our coats must be buttoned or we get six demerits. This keeps us in the quarters over Sunday; or shoes not polished, a little dirt under our bunks and many other little things that would take up a page to tell. Only such men of high mental powers and good principles cah hold up, altho many a good man is turned out, fail­ ing in wireless. Fifty per cent of the men graduate. This doesn't seem very encouraging, nevertheless, the education that I will get will be worth my career. I would carelessly say it is almost nerve rack­ ing to hold out and make good. It is officially reported that this is the best training school if this kind, I believe it, it's hell. The course lasts eight weeks. It will require twelve weeks hereafter, that is all men who start after this week. You see it has been most impossible for the students to absorb all the studies in such a short period and the students to follow us will have a better chance to graduate. The trip here was a wonderful one. We stopped at St. Louis for several hours. Sorry I didn't know of your Uncle Nick. This is a fine country, the scenpry and climate and typical southern ways. The people here are slow; there's no snap about them. That reminds me, the major has post­ ed a notice to the Ft. Wayne boys as being the best drilled company to start here. I wish Ed. could see this regi­ ment of men. The field is full of snappy cadets, 1500 of them. Some day I may go to see the boys from Woodstock. Houston is about 150 miles from here. The flying fields are about 200 miles from us. We can see planes at any time while out on the drill grounds. They fly over the university low enough so that we can hear the noise of the motor. It's very common to see people looking up like a hick or haymaker looking up at a high building. The university is an huiMing and The population is about 14000 people. Will try and find time to write to Geo. A. Still my time must not be misspent for the outside world. Time is more valuable than money. I miss my friend, Harry, tho most of the fellows from Ft. Wayne are with me Harry went to Cornell. Will close foi- this time with my best and sincere wishes to all. As it is not possible to pay my respects to all with a line, kindly pass this on to the folks of the family group, as I feel that you are all interested to know of my work. Your devoted son, Paul. P. S;: Received The Plaindealer It's very interesting to read the home news. Struck by.Lightning A large barn and silo on the Wingate farm at Terra Cotta was struck by lightning during the elec trical storm about 11 o'clock Wednes­ day morning and burned to the ground. Fortunately only one head of cattle was burned. The buildings were situated just across the road from the J. H. Gracy farm. Waiters Coming Back We are informed that Mrs. Roilin Waite and daughter, Alice, after spending the winter at Lake Geneva, will return soon to take up their home in the Waite cottage on Green street, now occupied by Jas. N. Say- ler and family. -Their many friends in McHenry will welcome their re- turn to their home town. Decide to Organise and Incorporate-- Work of Improving Foac River to Be Started Soon A meeting of property owners along Fox river and others who naturally become interested was held at the Great Northern hotel in Chicago on Monday evening of this week, at which time a permanent organization, to be known as the Fox River Improvement association, was effected. As stated in a previous issue Of The Plaindealer, the purpose of the "organization is to clean up and beau­ tify Fox river from German Village to the north to the dam to the south. The meeting on Monday night, which was followed by a banquet, was attended by over thirty enthusi­ astic boosters of the project and the manner in which these gentlemen ex­ pressed themselves suggests that the new organization is going to do things to our good, old Fox and do them up right. Everett Hunter, president of the boat company bearing his name, was made temporary chairman, while J. C. Holly, cashier of the Hoy Banking company of this village, was elected treasurer; A. W.' Gast of Chicago, who has a summer home at Howell's Villa, secretary. The board of directors consists of the following named gentlemen: A. W. Gast, J. C. Nettnin, Otto F. Sohm, Chas. E. Reed, Everett Hunter and Dr. J. A. Graver. It is the plan of the newly organ­ ized association to incorporate at once and application for the necessary pa­ pers has already been made at Spring­ field The officers and everyone inter­ ested fully realize that there is no time to waste to get things arranged for the contemplated improvements and from now until actual work has begun the officers and various commit­ tees named at the meeting Monday night will put on "full speed ahead" in order that the resorters may enjoy the benefits of their labors the com­ ing summer. In next week's issue of The Plain- dealer we expect to' publish the names of the committee members and the progress that has been achieved dur­ ing the week. It is up to the people of McHenry to help boost this good thing along as without our Fox we would soon be back numbers. PROPERTY OWNERS ATTEND CHICAGO MEETING Naomi A. C. Saturday Night The Naomi A. C. team of Chicago will be entertained by the town basket ball squad here next Saturday even­ ing. The Chicago team comes to Mc­ Henry backed by an exceptionally fine record, having defeated such teams as the Evanston Y. M. C. A., Waukegan, Arlington Heights, Chicago All Stars and others. The game will be staged at the high school gymnasium and the fans are once more guaranteed a fast, snappy game of the great indoor sport. Game called at the usual hour with the admission price same as al­ ways, 25 cents to all. Surprise Newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Geo. F. Lindsay were given a most enjoyable surprise at their home on Green street Saturday evening, planned by nearby neigh­ bors. Cards furnished amusement. The bride was presented with a beau­ tiful table cloth in an embroidered case. Those present were Messrs. and Mesdames John McCarthy, F. E. Cobb, Math. Schaefer, Wm. Bacon, GeoT Buss, Mrs. Howard, Mrs. Wm. Tesch, Mrs. Catherine Adams, Mrs. Fred Nickels, Miss Christine Adams and G. C. Howard. Sings at Elgin Miss Irene Harruff, supervisor of music in our public school, took an active part in a program given by the Elgin chapter, D. A. R., at Elgin last Saturday afternoon. Miss Harruff sang Woodman's "Joy of Spring" and two MacDermid numbers, "If I Knew You and You Knew Me" and "Land of Mine." The Elgin Courier spoke of Miss Harruff as being a talented voiced artist. Louis Stoffel Transferred Among other things contained in a letter from the members of Co. G, 129th Inf., U. S. N. G., to the Wood­ stock Sentinel it read that Pvt. Louis Stoffel had been transferred to 108th truck company and we wish Louis the best luck in the world. Louis is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Stoffel of this village, who became a member of Co. G, I. N. G^ at Woodstock last summer. Baseball Dance Walsh's orchestra of Chicago will furnish music for the Blaster Monday dance given under the auspices of the McHenry Baseball club. Tickets are now being sold in advance by the school children and others at' $1.00. Remember the date, Monday, April 1, and be on hand to enjoy the first dance after the Lenten season.

Casey of Woodstock was in Hebron one day last week and while in town made this office a very pleasant call. Attorney Casey has announced his candidacy for the of­ fice of county judge and during his spare moments and while on legal business over the county he is quietly informing the voters of his candidacy. While in Hebron last week negotiat­ ing a real estate transaction he took advantage of the opportunity to tell Hebron people of, his political as­ pirations and according to rumors since his visit here there are many who are favoring Mr. Casey as a likely aspirant for the office. "Jim" Casey, %s he is more famil­ iarly known, is perhaps one of the best known attorneys in northern Illinois. He was born in McHenry county and has lived here all his life, entering upon the practice of law over thirty years ago, and among the legal profession he is regarded as a man of wisdom and legal talents. He has al­ ways been a staunch Republican and as the saying commonly goes "Has carried water a long time," and be­ lieves that he is entitled to the office to which he aspires, having never be­ fore been a candidate for a public office of any kind. Two Harvard Candidates It is also rumored that Harvard will have two candidates for the of­ fice of county judge in the persons of Attorney and Mayor C. J. Hen­ dricks and Attorney B. F. Manley. Attorney Manley was the unsuc­ cessful but close contestant for the office against D. T. Smiley at the last primary and thru the staunch support of the Hebron precinct Judge Smiley was the victorious candidate and was renominated by a very small margin. It is also rumored that Judge D. T. Smiley will not seek re-election for the office of county judge and thus far the three above mentioned candidates constitute the line-up for the comjng primaries. Red Cross Notes Work on the knitted socks is cap­ ital. Four cutters were kept busy Fri­ day afternoon. N. A. Huemann has very kindly offered to overhaul the machines this week. A reply to a letter, asking whether or not to diminish our efforts in the knitted articles this summer, says, Knit! Knit! Knit!" Mrs. T. J. Walsh received a letter from John Freund, in which he ex­ presses much appreciation for kind­ nesses tendered him by the local Red Cross. The joint meeting on Friday last brought out an exceptionally large crowd. We no longer need to urge the importance of the work. Women fully realize the importance of car­ ing for those who are making su­ preme sacrifices. Our duty at home is plain and clear. The Needlework Guild elected of­ ficers Friday afternoon, as follows: Mrs. N. H. Petesch, chairman; Mrs. P. M. Justen, vice chairman; Miss Clara Scfaiessle, treasurer; Miss Lelah Claxton, secretary. Directors, includ­ ing Mrs. D. G. Wells, Mrs. Chas. Giv- ens, Mrs. R. G. Chamberliif, Miss Elsie Wolff, Miss Eleanor McGee and Mrs. Simon Stoffel, gave an excellent re­ port of work accomplished. Every member promises to give two new gar­ ments a year to be distributed among the poor in eur own locality and the nearest charitable institution. This is not a new project, the work having been established for the past thirty- two years. It is recognized in connec­ tion with the Red Cross as well as many other societies. Mrs. Walsh has accepted the fol­ lowing invitation and will not be pres^ ont at the meeting here tomorrow aft­ ernoon. The letter is printed to ex­ tend the invitation to others as re­ quested by the county superintendent of school: March 11, 1918. Mrs. J. Walsh, llcHenry, 111. Dear Mrs. Walsh--A most excellent program has been prepared for a one day meeting of my teachers at Crys­ tal Lake this Friday, March 15. A speaker, representing Red Cross work will be present Mrs. Shipton, vice chairman for this county, joins me in extending to you an invitation to our meeting, which will be devoted entirely to patriotism. Would be pleased to have you use the phone to extend this invitation to those you think might be interested. Thanking you for yftur interest in in this matter, I am, Very truly yours, A. M. Shelton. Announcement ' Miss Lillian Pouse wishes to an­ nounce to the ladies that she just arrived -from the wholesale millinery house with a complete stock of ready- to-wear hats. She is also prepared to trim and can suit the most fastidious. Call and inspect. CAUCUS WILL BE LIVELY TO BE HELD HERE NEXT SATUR­ DAY AFTERNOON Contests on For Two OAees--High way Commissioner and Assessor-- Candidates Are Hustling The annual town caucus for the town of McHenry will take place at the village hall next Saturday aft­ ernoon, March 16, the polls being open- from one until six o'clock. Three offices become vacant this spring, as follows: Town clerk, commissioner and assessor, the office of collector having been dispensed with by a state ruling made a year or more ago. Of the three offices to be filled, two are sure to see a battle royal, they being those of highway commissioner and assessor. For the former office William B. Tonyan, present incum­ bent, was the first to announce his candidacy, while John Boyle, another servant under the three commissioner plan, is also out to land the plum. Another fight is on for the assessor- ship, an office that has not seen a con­ test in a number of years. John W. Kimball, the present holder of the job, has again announced himself as an aspirant, while Albert Pepping of Johnsburg is the latest to enter the race. Thus it may be seen that the legal voters of the town will have a good reason for turning out at the polls next Satuday and if talk will do it the candidates will surely bring out the largest vote ever cast in the town­ ship. Since the new ruling, which eli­ minates two of the three highway commissioners, has become effective the officer of commissioner becomes one well worth going after. Do.ing away with two of three commis­ sioners means that the man who lands the job this year must be able to devote his entire time to it. The compensation will also demand this. The Plaindealer, as in former years, isn't picking primary winners, but we suggest that everyone go to the polls and cast your vote for the can­ didate whom you believe to be the best qualified for the job he seeks. The women can vote for all candidates and with favorable weather a big fe­ male vbte is predicted. As has been the custom for a num­ ber of years, the expense of pringing the ballots for the caucus is borne equally by the men whose names ap­ pear thereon, so if' you are a candi­ date for any office and want your name to appear on the ballots be sure to make your wants known at The Plaindealer office on or before Fri­ day noon, as the ballots will be printed that afternoon. Aurora Borealis The aurora borealis last Thursday night was witnessed by many of our citizens. The hues on this occasion seemed brighter antl of more varied colors than ever before witnessed by our people. For awTiile the spectacle caused more than a little anxiety and all sorts of rumors went up as to its apparent meaning at this time. Some of those who were first attract­ ed by the reddish tinge were sure that it was a German airship headed for Chicago. Enlarging Workroom The workroom in the rear df the C. Unti ice cream parlor is being en­ larged. With the improvement com­ pleted the workroom will extend up to the Barbian Bros, cigar factory, the north wall of the factory building serving as the south wall for the workroom. This will give Mr. Unti considerable more working space, something that he has been sadly in need of ever since moving into the for­ mer cigar factory quarters. St. Patrick's Celebration Members of St. Patrick's parish will celebrate in honor of their pat ron saint Monday evening, March 18, at Stoffel's hall. An interesting pro­ gram is being prepared for the occa­ sion. Rev. M. J. McEvoy will speak on "Ireland and the Irish People." Songs and music, fitting the occasion as well as patriotic drills and read­ ings, will make up the evening's pro­ gram. A large attendance is antic­ ipated. Made Corporal Relatives here have just received word from Geo. Schreiner, who is now in training at Camp Custer, Mich., to the effect that he has recently been made corporal. He fs a member of a supply company. His many friends here will be pleased to learn of his advancement and wish. him further success. Transferred to North Carolina Corp. Mike Degen and Private Peter Olson, two of our boys who have been stationed at Camp Grant ever since being called to the colors last sum­ mer, were this week transferred to Camp Green, N. C. The boys seem perfectly satisfied with their oppor­ tunity of going to new quarters. Don't purchase your new spring hat until you have inspected the store of nuUiaery at Miss E. Thelen's. , DECLARATION OF LOYALTY Neighborhood Committee Anxious to Make Complete Census McHenry people are sharing with the chairmen of the state council of the Council of National Defence in its ambition to make the signers of the declaration of loyalty in Illinois com­ plete.

THIRD LIBERTY LOAN ITEMS OF LOCAL MEREST AS PICKED UP BY PLAI&DEALHR REPORTERS DURING WEEK What People Are Doing la This Vil­ lage and the Immediate Vicinity-- Other Short Paragraphs t Join the Red Cross. *. Spring millinery at Miss Ponsefc Millinery opening, West Side, Mar, 16. C. W. Stenger Appointed Chairman of McHenry County The third liberty loan drive will be launched April 6. Realizing the ef­ ficiency and correct system carried out by County Chairman C. W. Stenger, he was again urged by his multitude of friends to accept the chairmanship on the work of the third liberty loan drive in McHenry coun­ ty. With his usual zeal the work preliminary to the drive is being arranged by him. T. J. Walsh will act as chairman in McHenry for the drive and F. G. Schreiner, publicity man. Mr. Stenger has appointed chairmen in the county, who are getting their committees organized, and will meet with the McHenry County Bankers' Federation at Crystal Lake Tuesday, March 19, at 10:30 a. m. A represen tative of the federal reserve will ad­ dress the meeting. The work of handling the loan and its divisions in the various towns and townships of the county will be mapped out and each chairman will know exactly what is expected of him and his chosen committee. Though the quota nor interest have not been announced thus far, it is ex­ pected that Uncle Sam will ask for a loan of several billions, | paying a liberal rate per cent. That the chairman has been wisely re-instated by the council and that the committees have been carefully se­ lected for this war time work is a foregone conclusion. Just as soon as the assignments in the_ various towns are completed the list will be pub­ lished. Moves to McHenry Emory Herdklotz of Woodstock has moved his family into the Itfeyers cottage on Green street, recently va- vated by Dr. and Mrs. J. J. Schaefer. Mr. Herdklotz has not given up his job at the county seat and just as soon as weather permits he, with other McHenry employes, will make daily trips to and from that city. Counterfeit Half Dollar A counterfeit half dollar piece is in circulation. A number of these coins have made their appearjance in towns around McHenry.
