Aside For Collection of ftuA-- Everyone Asked to Cwtlfflwte A meeting to organize for the S6C- ond Red Cross fund was called by the chairman of the local branch, Floyd E. Covak, Tuesday evening and was attended by a large delegation of men and women interested , in the cam­ paign. Short patriotic addresses were given by the following named: Richard B. Walsh, Rev. M. J. McEvoy, T. J. Walsh and Simon Stoffel. The in­ spiration and encouragement given was deeply appreciated by the assem­ bly. McHenry's quota will be $1800; or 60c per capita. The Red Cross ter­ ritory consists of the north half of Nunda township on the south and on the north will be cut off by one tier of sections extending about one-half mile north of the village. Any fam­ ily solicited in the outside territory by neighboring chapters, by agree­ ment, funds received will be placed in the proper branch. A bazaar will be held during the week of the campaign, the date set being May 28. However, this date is subject to change, if, as the work goes on, it is deemed necessary. At the starting off a Hoover din­ ner will be held ft the city hall Sat­ urday evening previous, May 18, for the different committees, at which time each captain will receive his index cards and quota The work, which , was fully ex­ plained by Mr. Covalt, who presided at the meeting, shows a complete or­ ganization and is mapped out a» fol­ lows: The territory will be divided into six districts, as follows: ' No. 1. All business and professional men. (These are not to be solicited at their residences).* No. 2. West Side residence dis­ trict, including residents outfide cor­ poration lines, but not engaged in farming on large scale. No. 3. East Side residence district, including residents outside corporation lines, but not engaged in farming on large scale, and the rural district tributary to this chapter north of Mc­ Henry. No. 4. Territory in McHenry and Nunda townships west of the Crystal Lake road not including farms located on this road. No. 5. Territory in McHenry and Nunda townships from the Crystal, Lake road east to the river, including farms west of and located on the Crys­ tal Lake road. No. 6. Territory in McHenry and Nunda townships east of the river. Each district will have a team of eleven members, including the team captain. The executive committee will appoint a rural township chairman over districts 4, 5 and 6, who will in turn appoint a team captain for each district. The executive committee will ap­ point a team captain for each of the districts 1, 2 and 3. Each team captain will appoint his own co-workers, choosing five men and five ladies. The men for soliciting funds and the ladies for soliciting ma­ terial for the bazaar, explained later. The first task is for the lists and estimates committee to prepare a list of names of every person in the ter­ ritory that can be solicited for funds. They will then arrange them in al­ phabetical order and then number consecutively. An index or filing card is then made out for every name on the list with a number corresponding with the name on the list. These cards will then be grouped according to the several districts and delivered to the team captains, who will distribute them among the mem­ bers of his team as he sees fit. Each party for whom there is a card must be visited and the card turned in at the end of the day's work to the war fund cashier, together with the subscription, or if no subscription a notation will be made on Uae card why none was received. Each person who subscribes will re­ ceive an official receipt and a Red Cross flag insignia pin. As fast as the funds are turned in they will be deposited in banks by the war fund cashier. 25 per cent of all subscriptions may be retained hy the local chapter. The campaign will start with a meeting of all the workers on Satur­ day evening, May 18, at which light refreshments will be served. At this time the team captains will receive their cards and a general discussion of the campaign will take place. A quota will be assigned t° each team, and in order to create enthus­ iasm, the work will be in the form of a contest and the three losing teams must furnish a» dinner to the three winning teams. # The winning teams wpll be"judged as follows: The first team to attain its quota will be considered one of the ' TiliTl* TIMIHTIIIT Aid Society The Ladies' Cemetery AM society will hold its first meet­ ing with Mrs. J.

WAR SAVINGS PLEDGE WEEK State Wide Campaign Owing Week May 11-18, 1918 Right or the heels of the thttt! lib­ erty loan, our government has planned a state wide campaign that shall be uniform in every county thruout the; state, covering the period of May 11- 18. Like the war, the war savings campaign for Illinois has reached a crisis. The state is not only far be­ low the amount of actual sales which we should have reached, but no pledges have been made at all in this school district. Therefore, next week every individual in the community will be canvassed by an able body of work­ ers and everyone approached will be expected to sign a pledge card for whatever amount they are able to buy in thrift or war savings stamps each month or week. Instructions were given to solicitors that they are to turn in the names of those who refuse to buy adequately. These names will be forwarded to the government. The quota of the county is $700,000--a man's work. ' The district has been divided as follows amongst the teachers^ who act as captains of their streets and ad­ joining homes. These captains will choose workers to assist them from the High school student body and from those outside of school: John street and south--Miss Irene Harruff. Main streets-Miss Fanny Granger. Waukegan street and adjoining- Miss Blanche Pryor. Green street and west--Mrs. Flor­ ence Wray. Pearl street and adjoining--Miss Agnes Carey. Front street and adjoining--Miss B. Mae Small. Water street and adjoining--<Miss Eleanor Phalin. Across the river--Miss Pearl Clax- ton. Supt. A. E. Nye, district chairman. Let no one escape this opportunity » support the government. If high school students come to interview you, give them consideration the same as tho it were Uncle Sam himself, be­ cause they will be there in his be­ half. We ar$ lit war! Forward march! DANCE A GREAT SUCCESS UAR OVERHLUON COUNTY'S QUOTA OVERSUB­ SCRIBED 40 PER CENT Algoaqain Only Town to Win Blue Star Flag--McHenry Township Makes Splendid Showing The third liberty loan drive came to a very successful close last Saturday and the town of McHenry, in common with other towns of the county and state, went "over the top" in a man­ ner that is sure to make old Kaiser Bill sit up and take notice. Every town in the county over­ subscribed its allotment and every town in McHenry county is thus given the privilege of flying the honor flag. The greatest honors of the drive go and rightfully belong to Al­ gonquin, which over subscribed her quota one hundred per cent and more and as a result of this remarkable showing that town is now proudly floating a blue star flag. McHenry county's allotment for the third liberty loan was plated at $762,960 and the total subscriptions amounted to $1,068,350.00, thus put­ ting the coiinty "over the top" by forty per cent over its allotment. The following official report of the work accomplished in the different localities thruout this county was com­ piled by County Chairman C. W. Stenger and thru his courtesy we are able to given it to our readers this week: Town > * Allot No. Subs Total McHENRY COMMERCIAL CLUB Its First Regular Monthly . Meeting Thursday Last Algonquin .,.$24,000 Jast Us Club Donates Proceeds of $99 to Local Red Cress Hie dance, given by the girls of the Just Us club for the benefit of the local Red Cross at Stoffel'a hall en Saturday evening last, was a grand success. One hundred and six tickets were sold and the net proceeds, which will be placed in the treasury of the -local branch, amounted to $90.00. It is highly gratifying to the members of the Red Cross society as well as every loyal citizen of McHenry to note the success of this club and the girls will accept hearty congratula­ tions as well as sincere appreciation of the entire community. «•. The music on this occasion was superb and the beautifully decorated hall and the dancers so prettily attired presented a most delightful appear­ ance and the spirit of patriotism and social welfare prevailed. Famous for hospitality and good will, the girls of the Just Us club have proven themselves a power for good i^| the village and community. So once more in behalf of the mem­ bers of the local branch, the executive committee expresses appreciation of your untiring efforts in ^Helping to Win" Universalist Church Next Sunday, May 12, being what is commonly called "Mothers' day," we are especially anxious to see as many mothers" present as possible, and fathers, too, for that matter, especially the old and infirm, who are not in the habit of attending church regularly. We have placed an order for another pretty day and the ones who fail to be in attendance will not only miss what we shall try to make an interesting discourse, but will also miss some excellent music, as the choir has promised to furnish special music suitable for the occasion. A most cordial invitation is extended to all to attend these services. Wm. D. Harrington, 1 * feting Pastor* . a t, « * ,• > ^ (Oodtinnod on Lasl Pago m Alden Cary ........ Crystal Lake. Harvard ....

At the time that the writer called at the West McHenry State bank for the above report we found the coun ty chairman just as busy as ever. While the campaign was at an end his end of the work waS far from completed and the telephone wires between this village and points all over the county as well as Chicago were being kept comfortably warm. However, in spite of the vast amount of work that he had piled up before him he was full of good cheer and just bubbling over with joy at the manner in which McHenry county had gone over. Mr. Stenger has asked us to thank every man, woman and child in Mc­ Henry county for any assistance given this noble work and especially does he wish to thank the committee members of the entire county. He also asked us to extend special than its to the newspaper boys of the county and to those who paid for ads that assisted so admirably in this great work. " V O The Plaindealer also rejoices over the showing made and especially do we rejoice over McHenry, township's answer to the third loan. We aite glad to be one of the good people that make up this township and dur people, by their generous^ response to Uncle Sam's call for help, can well feel proud of the answer that they have givten him thru their subscriptions to the third liberty loan. Additions to Roll of Honor xln printing the roll of honor in last week's issue we unavoidably omitted the name of David W. Ensign, son of Mr. and Mrs. N. Q. Ensign, who re­ side near this village. David enlisted some months ago and is now "over there." Another whose name we failed to mention is Frank Pomrening, who resides south o# town. Frank enlisted only a short time ago and is now in training somewhere in the east. If there are others whom we missed kindly notify us as it is our desire to make our. rpll of honor complete. • ^ Engage Teachers Tho school board met on Tuesday evening of -this week. Hie present staff of teachers will be retained in their respective places for the next year, providing they wish to remain. Misses B. Mae Small and Blanche Pryor have not as yet accepted, but will be asked to remain with an ad­ vance in salary. Miss Irene Harruff tendered her resignation some time ago, much to the regret of the s^ool board. Tractor Demonstration There will be a demonstration of the Huber Light Four 12-25 farm tractor on John Walkup's farm, Crys­ tal Lake at 2 p. m. Saturday, May 11. Everybody invited* ' » • * " The first regular monthly meeting Of the newly organized McHenry Commercial club took place at the village hall last Thursday evening and owing to the small attendance only minor business matters were un­ dertaken and disposed of at this time. Owing to the fact that there were but a few present at the initial meet­ ing, it was decided to hold over the more important things and it was voted to hold a continued meeting at the village hall this (Thursday) even­ ing, May 9. Notices to this effect have been mailed out to every busi­ ness and professional man in the vil­ lage with the hope that the meeting tonight will be attended by everyone who can possibly get away. ^Among the things that are to be taken up tonight is the making of preparations for the fitting observance of Decoration day and also to talk over the free express delivery. Other matters of equal importance will also come up for discussion and it is to the interest of every business and pro­ fessional man in McHenry to be present. We have also been requested to ex­ tend a special invitation to the clergy- men of McHenry to be present on this occasion, as their assistance is needed in making final preparations for Dec­ oration day. We hope to see these reverend gentlemen present. Once more we wish to call the at­ tention of our business men to the importance of organizing at this time as tiever before in the history of this country was there a time when we needed one another more than we do today. Thru this organization the business of the village can apd will be placed on a more substantial busi­ ness basis and many of the evils of the village can also be remedied thru it While it is not the intention of the organization to work only for its own individual membership, the spirit also seems to be to assist any worthy cause that will prove a benefit to the village and its people. Also it is the intention of the association to stretch out for new business and new enter­ prises and all to gether it will even­ tually mean a bigger and better Mc­ Henry. Are you, Mr. Business or Professional iuan, Willing to help? If so, be present at the meeting to­ night.
