A second waEpand campaign will be carried on by the American Red Cross the week of May 20, as desig­ nated by President Woodrow Wilson, and at the regular meeting, which will be held at the city hall Friday (after­ noon, the business of organizing, for Bed Cross week will be taken up. All of the officers are requested to be present. B. B. Bell, county chair­ man of .the second war fund, is ex­ pected to be present. However, if word is received that he cannot be here the meeting will be postponed until a later day. A few words in explanation of the need of this great drive may inspire the twenty million members and the public in general to give generously to this great need, as it is as much a matter of patriotism as the support of our army and navy. Shortly after America's entrance into the world conflict the American Red Cross, thru its war council ap­ pointed by the president, asked of the American people one hundred million dollars as their first contribution to the war fund to carry thru the plans of European and American war relief |ts their needs justified. ; / The money contributed at that time will have been aH expended by early this summer and the accounting of this expenditure audited by the gov­ ernment has been given th£ widest publicity. 1 The war savings committee will hold its campaign from May 11 to 18. Co-operate with the committees that will be appointed from our local Red Cross and help make the campaign a success. ' MRS. KATE SURGES at Highland Park Sixty Years Ago Mrs. Kate (Hauk) Surges passed away at the home of her daughter,- Mrs. H. F. Lindsay, at 1071 34th street, Milwaukee, Wis., on April 22, 1918, at the age of 60 years, 7 months and 7 days. Kate Hauk was born at Highland Park, HI., on Sept. 15, 1858, and was united in marriage to Joseph Surges in Chicago on October 16, 1879. Her husband passed away Feb. 5, 1890. Some years ago the family left Chicago and moved onto a farm east of this village, where they resided for a number of years, and later on Mrs. Surges moved to this village, where she continued to make her home until a few years ago, when she moved to Hebron, 111., and thence to Milwau­ kee, Wis., where she continued to make her home until her death. She was the mother of one child, Mrs. H. F. Lindsay, who with three grandchildren, four brothers and four sisters are left to mourn. The broth­ ers and sisters are as follows: George Hauk of Hebron, I1L; Peter, Frank and Louis "Hauk, all of Chicago; Mrs. Phil Moritz and Mrs. Peter Andersen of Chicago; Mrs. Theo. Stock and Mrs. Louis Wrede of this village. Her remains were brought to this village, the funeral services having been conducted from St. Patrick's Catholic church by Rev. Edward Ber- thold on Wednesday morning £f' last week. Card of Thanks We wish to express our sincere thanks to the people of McHenry for their assistance and sympathy offered us during our sad visit to this village last week and we can assure all their, kindness is deeply appreciated. H. F. Lindsay and F&gaily. FAREWELL AT Items Clipped From The *Twenty-five Yean Af " April 25, 1893 A school concert will be given by the pupils of the West McHenry school. % John J» Flusky, who lives southwest of this village, had some stock killed by lightning last week. The Michael Doherty fawn of 240 acres, one mile south of McHenry, was sold May 18, 1893. W. C. Scherf, a first-class custom tailor, has opened the shop in the west part of the Lawlus block. Workmen from Elgin have heen putting on a new roof on the south part of Pekovsky's block this week. Jas. R. Sayler had the misfortune to have two fine Morgan colts killed by lightning one day last week. The higher department of our pub­ lic school has been closed for several weeks on account of the sickness of the principal. The Lakeside hotel at Fox' Lake, formerly the Sayles House, has been leased by Huber & Reese, who took possession . Saturday last. The pa^t ten days has beaten the record for storms, both wind and rain. It rained every day last week and the record is unbroken so far this week, besides the wind has blown a perfect hurricane at times. Rev. Charles W. Fletcher, pastor of the M. E. church in this village, has resigned from the ministry of that de­ nomination on account of a change of views. He has been succeeded here by Rev. O. F. Hall. . The wind and rain did considerable damage in the vicinity west of this village last week. It -blew the wind­ mill on the Jecks farm to pieces, leav­ ing nothing but two spokes of the wheel. It also damaged Henry Ho- bart's at the same time, blowing two sections out of the wheel. Last Wed­ nesday night the high wind finished it entirely/ leaving only two spokes. Died--In this village Friday even­ ing, April 21, 1893, Mrs. Barbara Stegemann, wife of Christopher Steg- emann, aged 52 years, 10 months and 21 days. Mrs. Stegemann had been a resident of this village for over twenty years, coming here with her httsband from Philadelphia, Pa. Her funeral was held on Sunday afternoon from the .German church at Johns- burg. May 2, 1893 The annual May party at the Riv­ erside House will take place Thursday evening, May 18. Two parties have taken out dram shop licenses in Nunda and paid their $1500 each into the city treasury. John Hauprisch has just installed a new ironing and polishing machine, steam appliances, etc., in his laundry. The McHenry county agricultural board at its meeting held last week decided not to hold a fair this year. The steamer "Elma" of the Fox Lake- line commenced making regular trips twice a day to the lake on Mon­ day. The McHenry Brass band will give social dance at Heimer's hall, Mc­ Henry House, Wednesday evening, May 10. Miss Clara B. Owen of New York is visiting her parents in this village. She will remain for a few months in order to take in the world's fair. Mrs. Thomas Halpin, formerly of this village, but now of Elgin, died Will Not Have Teait'/;|;: '; McHenry will not have a baseball park nor a baseball team according to present indications. Since the grounds that have formerly been used for the purpose have been sold and will be put to other uses and also owing to the fact that a number of the former members of the McHenry club have been called to the colors, it looks as- if there will be very little doing in the way of sports in McHenry the coming summer. The grandstand, which was erected at the ball park by Messrs. Walsh and Thelen two years ago, is now offered for sale and its going will mean the complete aban­ donment of the once popular playing £*ld of the McHenry Sox. Brown & Schoewef Tlwt is the name of a hew'firm which has rented the Peter B. Freund Saloon on the West Side and opened up for business this (Thursday) morning. Joe Brown, the senior member of the firm, hails from Be- loit, Wis., where he has been engaged in business for a number of years. Jos. Schoewer, the other member, is the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. Peter Schoewer of this village, he having heen born and raised here. Recently Mr. Schoewer has been engaged in the blacksmithing business at Beloit, Wis. He has many friends in Mc­ Henry, who wish him and his partner snooess. Ir#/ Dinner Given In Honor of Boys Who i . Left Wednesday Morning The following young men, Peter Neiss, Henry Weber, Joe Wrede and Gilbert Howard, all of this village, having been called to the colors, en­ camped on Fox river -for a few days' outing last week.

During the day Mrs. Fred Justen "^photoed many views of" the scene, which will be developed and given as souvenirB of the splendid ^ala day. According to the weekly news let­ ter issued from Camp .Grant, Com­ pany F boasts of having the most honest man in the regiment. He is Private Nick Franzen, who before entering the service conducted the Centerville barber shop in this vil­ lage. While on room orderly one day recenty he found a $10 bill in the waste paper basket and returned it to the loser. Since the occurrence ev­ eryone is anxious to be roon^; orderly.

The officials of the fuel administration tell us that the 1918 production of hard coal will be 20 per cenp 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. 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 yo#r winterV 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. I THE NEW GARS!
