The following dedicatory speech was given by Arthur Hunter at the senior program in the school auditorium besides other patriotic numbers: Service Flag Dedication Speech By Arthur Hunter * 1- Teachers Mid fellow students I have been selected to comelbefdre you this morning to perform the solemn task of dedicating the service flag of the McHenry high school. You possibly wonder why I call this a solemn task. Don't misunderstand me. When I say solemn I am think­ ing of the immensity of the task to which these noble lads have volun­ teered and I know such service shall not be rendered in vain. I know they have, like hundreds of thousands of other brave lads, set their teeth in defiance of the hurricane which now threatens the peace of the world. So with a glad heart and a bosom swelled with pride for the great work of which they are a part and "As this flag floats before us day after day, the symbol of loyalty and patri­ otism of those who have gone, may the red call forth courage, its white inspire purity and its blue create truth in our lives.1* So the first star on this flag I re­ spectfully dedicate to the honor of Captain John Larsen, a gallant de­ fender of peace, who at a critical time threw down his domestic tools to be cast into a staunch cog of that great wheel which is being shaped to grind out universal trouble and ruin that is devastating the world. The second star on this flag I ded­ icate to the honor of Lieut. Alford H. Pouse, another brave young man, who gave up personal ambitions to cross the seas to help our allies to fight that freedom and humanity might live. He also has carved his name deep on the immortal, golden stone of self sacrifice for. a* greater and a just cause. The third sfear on this flag I re­ spectfully dedicate to the honor of Corporal Lester Bacon. There is not a heart that beats truer in a braver young breast than that, of Corporal Lester Bacon, who so young in years, but old and strong in patriotism, vol­ unteered that America, who has nev­ er fought a war except to win new liberty, shall now add to that glory which it already has in a far greater sense. The fourth star on this flag I re­ spectfully dedicate to the honor of Private Guy Bacon, who has proven his true worth, not in empty words, but patriotism in a living • service. He has shown his love for flag and country, a service that puts him in a dress of radiant glory all his own. The fifth star on this flag I earnestly dedicate to the honor of Private Harry Stephenson, who has been carried across the sea, a gallant herald of that peace which is about to be forced by this mighty nation. The task to which he so cheerfully has set himself makes him a true prince among men. The six^h star on this flag I dedi­ cate to the honor of Private Alfred Richardson. All who knew him well proclaim in a loud voice that Amer­ ica can be duly proud that such as he is trusted in part with the glorious but difficult work of stamping out the power of the mad Prussian that threatens to engulf the very sacred principles of justice to'weak and suf­ fering humanity. The seventh star on this flag I re­ spectfully dedicate to the honor of Private David Ensign, who, like the hunter jumping to the horn, he is off! a christian, an American, roused, boldly and fearlessly he goes forth to defend the mighty principles, which for centuries past have been the pro­ tecting breastplate of millions of peace loving souls thruout the world. The eighth star I dedicate to the honor of Private Germer Petesch, dauntless in war, a friend to human improvement, to human progress and advancement, to spread over all the land a safe, a lasting and an estab­ lished peace, and this to be done in the only sure way, by the institution of force. Other ways have failed, but this way cannot fail when sup­ ported by a conbined order made up of such as he. - The ninth star on this flag I re­ spectfully dedicate to the honor of Private Percy Lodtz, whose valuable service reveals how the current of life deep and strong bursts forth as never failing springs in time of human need. The tenth star on this flag I ded­ icate to the honor to Private Leonard Phillips, who, having gone when duty called, sends to each of us a salent message, causing us to think in this hour of need of the fourfold duty we owe to God, our country, our family and ourselves. The eleventh and last Itar on this flag I respectfully dedicate to the honor of Private P. J. Dorr. All that he was, all that he had he is giving to help carry our principles, the prin­ ciples of God, gloriously thru this titanic struggle and oh, the glory, the joy that he is here to help in the hour of need. Because for such as he America will stand first, last and always. A S AI1U whole flag to the institution which has prepared and grounded these 'true American lads in the just and ltigh principles of patriotism.

The Coal Situation! Here it is in a nut shell. The officials of the fuel administration tell us that the 1918 production of hard coal will be 20 per cent short of that of 1916. This means that if you used 5 tons of hard coal dur­ ing the winter of 1916-17, unless you make application early, you will get but 4 tons for next winter, provided you get your share, but if you waite until next winter before making application you may not even get your share. Your neighbor who applied early, may get his requis­ ition filled, taking one ton that was coming to you because you neg­ lected the opportunity, consequently you may be short two or more tons in every five, or possibly be unable to get any hard coal at all. We are ordered by the fuel administration that on all requisitions over 4 tons we must not deliver more than two thirds of the full amount until all applications on file have been furnished their allot­ ment j To soft coal users. If the present order of the fuel administra­ tion continues in effect, no Pocahontas or other coal mined east of In­ diana will be permitted to be shipped to this zone. We must depend entirely on Illinois and Indiana mines for soft coal. These mines positively will not be able to supply the zone unless a large percentage of it is stored during the summer. * The early buyer will be the for­ tunate one. We are not limited to quantity on soft coal except that you may not purchase more than the winter's supply. The fuel administration requires that we furnish no one with coal for next winter's use until application is made in writing on blanks fur­ nished by the administration. Now the situation is very serious, more so than last year, and is growing more serious every day. That this community did not suffer from coal shortage last winter is largely due to the fact that a great percentage of our customers had the foresight to fill their bins early in the. summer. The fuel administration will help us to obtain coal for those that apply early. They will assume no responsibility to those that wait until the cold weather forces them to buy coal. They advise you to apply now. We URGE you to apply now. Not only for hard coal, but for soft coal as well. If your bin will not hold your winter's supply, MAKE IT LARGER. Your security against a coal famine next winter depends greatly upon yourself. If you have not already made application for coal DO IT NOW DO IT NOW DO IT NOW WILBUR LUMBER CO.
