A junior training camp for boys be- .i f .tween the ages of fifteen and nineteen "^•fjwill be conducted on the N. W. M. N. ^academy grounds at Kaye's Park, v^ake Geneva, during the coming sum- er. There will be five training amps, each covering a period of two |weeks, the first to open up on June 3. The camp will be in charge of Capt. IF. A. Beals, U. S. A. To enter the ipcamps the only requirements are a written application, accompanied by $10.00 in cash, the pro rata fee. The estimate of $35,000, made a r ago, as to the probable cost of S^the entire improvement including two p|bridges over Pistakee Bay at Fox -sSpLake, will prove entirely too low, in ' the opinion of . County Surveyor Chas. Russell. It was estimated at that time that the cost of the 50-foot and 120-foot spans would be about $17,000. The cost of materials have increased / , so much in the last year that it is the opinion of Mr. Russell that the cost . ,, will be at least $20,000. The county of«Lake has agreed to pay $8,000 to­ ward the cost of putting in the im­ provement. The rest will be paid for v by special assessment and bonds rasied. When the bridges span the Pistakee it will open a straight route Ijfljfto Lake Geneva and -is expected to bring a much larger number of pleas­ ure seekers to the lake region of Lake .»v Jos. W. Freund, local agent for the Home Insurance company of New York, in which company St. Mary's Catholic church of this village was in­ sured, informs us that a check for $15,000 has just been turned over by his company to Rt. Rev. P. J. Muldoon, bishop of the Rockford diocese, of which St. Mary's is a part. The pastor of St. Mary's, Rev. ltd. Berthold, as well as the trustees and finance and building committee will undoubtedly get together at once tiid see what there is to be done At the recent meeting of St. Mary's parishioners, which was held at Staf­ fers hall, it was decided to defer all future activity until the insurance had been satisfactorily adjusted and now that this has been done it looks to us as if the pastor, trustees, committee and members of the parish are ready to get down to business. At the meet­ ing held at Stoffel's hall it was sug­ gested that the building and finance committee get busy and see how much the parishioners are willing to pledge for the rebuilding of St. Mary's church and this will undoubtedly be one of the very first steps that will be un­ dertaken, as it seems to be the opinion that in this manner only can the bishop's questions asked in a re­ cent letter to his1 parishioners be prop­ erly and conscientiously answered. Mr. Freund was unable to inform us just how soon the committee would get busy nor was he able to tell us whether or not another meeting of the parishioners would be called. The pastor, Rev. Berthold, undoubtir edly will have important announce­ ments to make at the masses ne)dt Sunday morning. Canning Club Members The following names were received by the county,club leader, Thos. H. Murray, from the Good Luck Canning club of McHenry. Others have en­ rolled whose names have not yet reached the central office. Boys and girls are urged to stay to the finish. Under their club leaders they will meet twice each month. The members are: Pamela RieteSel, Ruth Krumpen, Gladys Rietesel, Ella Newman, Gladys Van Natta, Margaret Stenger, Julia King, Marie Niesen, Irene Payne, Greeta Chamberlin, Mary Bolger, Viola Stilling, Angela L. Pet- esch, Florence E. Conway, Elsie Vyci- tal, Genevieve Brefeld, Ellen Walsh, Mary Pender Walsh, Gertrude Clem­ ens, Dorothy Walsh, Margaret Wirfs, Helen Welch, Agnes Young, Lillian Scheid, Marjorie Phalin, Mathilda Freund, Mary Brefeld, Theresa Bre­ feld, Arthur D. Krause and Leo Roth- ermel. Rents Ice Cream Parlor Chas. Unti, the Centerville ice cream manufacturer, informs us that he has rented his Water street retail store to Fred Miller, who expects to have the place open and ready for business next Saturday. Mr. Miller is well known to many of our people, he hav­ ing married one of our home girls, Gertrude Engeln. He is a hustler and has had more or less business exper­ ience and we expect to see him make good. The stand has been success­ fully conducted by Chas. Unti during the past two summers and it was on account of his inability to get the proper help that he has decided to sublet the place for this season at leift • J Speakers' Committee ̂ In making mention of the Red Cross drive in our last week's issue we failed to publish the speakers' committee, which is composed of the following gentlemen: R. B. Walsh, chairman; Rev. M. J. McEvujr, Waiter «i. w aisn, C. W. Stenger T. J. Walsh, Simon Stoffel and F. A. Cooley The omis­ sion was an oversight on the part of our hardworking township chairman, F. E; Covalt, and we are sure the gen­ tlemen are only too willing to excuse him. , Farewell For Soldier Bof Thos. R. Doherty, son of Mr. attd Mrs. Wm. Doherty, Crystal Lake road, was given a farewell party at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jay Doherty Tuesday evening. He was called in­ to the service of Uncle Sam and will leave Friday morning for camp in Mississippi. Twenty young friends enjoyed music and dancing, after which ice cream and cake were served. Large Crowd Enjoyed Dance An unusually good time was had by those attending the dance at Stoffel's hall Saturday evening last. Fifty-five couples enjoyed the excellent music and dancing. Misses Mary Pender Walsh and Margaret Stenger sold carnations, donated by J. F. Miller of Rosedale, for the benefit of the Vxn>l Red Cross and brought in $3.80. Meets With Accident While cranking his Ford car Tues­ day, Simon Stoffel unfortunately splintered a lower bone in the right arm. Some time ago this same bone was broken in a like manner and Mr. Stoffel has the sympathy ot his many friends. Br. N. J.

The eats were furnished by the Wilbur Lumber*company and F. O. Gans furnished the dining room, kitchen and their equipments, all of which is appreciated. More than ninety workers, consisting of captains and their teams, were served. After dinner index cards and quotas were given out to each captain with an ex&ct amount of his quota. The ladies were to follow up and solicit donations for the big bazaar, which will open in full blast this evening. The committee has been at work for the past three days arranging booths and taking care of the numerous do­ nations. Early Monday morning the captains and their teams were on the job and by 12:30 o'clock Dr. R. G. Chamberlin had gone "over the top" with h'is quota and Tuesday morning the Red Cross clock on tile city hall registered $1600.. Wednesday morning the bul­ letin read: Captain * 3 Quota W. F. Vogt.

In recognition of the fact that this drive was a free will offering, it is a remarkable showing and the captains and their teams did themselves proud in meeting this demand of the Amer­ ican Red Cross, whose president is also president of the United States. The publicity committee, in behalf of the organization, extends thanks to each and every one who assisted in making this drive a success. WAR SAVINGS COLLECTED ̂ Drive Closed JJaturday Wif̂ rk l»i4 k ' The total amount pledged to date during war stamp pledge week was $17,086.75. Altho a little less than the quota of the district, which was about $20,000, we must agree that the captains and their workers did re­ markably well considering the circum­ stances under which they worked. There is still time left during the re­ mainder of the year *0 make up this deficiency. The government expects all to keep their pledges. The territories and quota raised in each as well as the name of each solicitor follow: John street, Miss Irene Harruff, $907.00 Main street, Miss Fannie Granger, $4311.00. Waukegan street, Miss Blanche Pryor, $1247.00. Green street and west, Mrs. R. T. Wray, $6322.50. Pearl street, Miss Agnes Carey, $1076.50. Front street, Miss B. Mae Small, $720.00. Water street, Miss Eleanor Phalin, $2126.25. Acros»v ti^» river, Miss Pearl Clap­ ton, $1376.50. Mrs. R. T. Wray went "over the top" with the largest ouota to solicit. Social Wheel Entertained Mrs. Mary Ferguson, assisted by Miss Elola Boyle, entertained the Social Wheel at Schiller View, McCol- lum's Lake, Thursday afternoon. Sev­ enteen ladies were present and lost no time knitting for the Red Cross. A household science discussion was in order, after which the following menu, prepared with strict observance of government orders to save on wheat, meat, sugar, fats and tin can goods, were served. Her menu was cottage cheese -salad, hot rye rolls and punch.

The gypsy weaves an evil spell and reads what "is written in the stars." Phyllis offers tribute--and the pearls are hidden. "Our tryst is over." Act I. Kitty flaunts tradition and argues a business career before an un­ sympathetic audience. 1 Phyllis and Carolyn labor vainly to convince Mrs. Breckinridge of the value of the mod­ ern woman. Belinda and Kitty dis­ cuss romance and long for adventure. "Slap him every time you pass--that'll help." Carter proves an obstacle in the political career of MacDonald and John. Phyllis airs her views on aco- nomic independence and tells Mac­ Donald why she can't marry him. Aunt Letitia is unconsciously per­ suaded that Kitty needs a new spring outfit. Kitty falls asleep and is wak ened by Adventure. "Faith and it's not a monkey wrench to me--it's a key to the future." The telephone rings a n d P h y l l i s g o e s t o w o r k o n t h j Clarion.

Kitty answers the telephone and SjS a result deems it expedient to hide. Frede­ ricka makes a proposition to Carter. Ted and Kitty, together, play "de­ tectuff." Carter and MacDonald fail to reach an understanding. "Your stocks are quite worthless, Mac." Ad­ venture comes again to Kitty and learns of his enemy. Terrence is about to tell his story, when the cli­ max comes. Act III. Terrence is generous aiql Carter accepts the terms. The finding of the monkey wrench upsets auntie's nerves. Carolyn wears three roses and John becomes disorganized. "Don't it's eyes seem to follow me-- doesn't it seem alive?" Aunt Letitia and Aunt Alice have a lively tilt with Phyllis as mediator. Belinda slaps the image and the pearls are found. Kitty follows Adventure "even to the end of the day." Here's half the cost of a wedding ring. t Entertained at Elgin Tuesday Mrs. Christina Schreiner, Mrs. Jos. W. Rothermel, Mrs. Gottlieb Boley, Mrs. M. L.

Atw ULASS OF FIFTY-SEVBN Given the First Knights of Columbus In A class of fifty-seven candidates, the largest since the organization of the McHenry council, K. of C., were given the first degree at Parish hall, Johnsburg, last evening. The work started about 8:30 o'clock and was most impressively exemplified by a team from the home council, composed of Prof. A. E. Nye, Wm. Smith, Thos. Bolger, Peter M. Justen and C. M. liickier. Light re­ freshments were served at the close of the evening's work. The class will be given the second and third degrees at Stoffel's hall next Sunday afternoon, May 26, starting promptly at 1:00 o'clock. Both the Woodstock and Harvard councils will bring candidates to Mc­ Henry and it is expected that the class will be the largest ever taken in here. Memorial Services at Universalist Next Sunday, May 26, at the Uni­ versalist church in McHenry there will be a Memorial day service and the church will dedicate two additional stars in its service flag, making a total of nine stars. The pastor's theme will be patriotic, the choir will render "Manhood of America," Miss Irene Harruff will sing "Should the Stars in Your Service Flag Turn to Gold" and the entire audience will sing "America" and the "Star Spangled Banner." The young ladies of the Sunday school will deliver a pledge to their service flag, which doubtless is the only thing of its kind hereabouts anywhere and is entirely original with the Universalist church Sunday school. Everybody is especially invited to come, as this is to be the closing ser- vice for the usual summer vacation. Come and help us to make this ser- via» hrjmfpl of patriotic impulse. Wm. D.

John McRae, who wa$" since killed in action. The words of "Sundown" were writ ten by B. L.

It was arranged to arouse enthusiasm among tne subscribers to the war savings stamp drive and was given in connec­ tion with the Red Cross parade sched­ uled for this week. The parade was made up of the pupils and teachers of the public school and St. Mary's parochial school, who did credit to themselves and the cause. The mem­ bers of the McHenry Commercial as­ sociation were in line • as also were the members of Riverview camp, R. N. A. American flags and posters on war savings stamps and the Red Cross drive were prominent in every di­ vision and all presented a splendid patriotic demonstration, proclaiming the needs of both drives. Storm Visits McHenry This section was visited by ;a .ft* vere wind storm on Tuesday evening of this week and as a result much damage was done to trees and tele­ phone and electric light wires. The electric service went out of commis­ sion shortly after ten o'clock that evening and it was four o'clock the following afternoon before McHenry was again supplied with the "juice." The Plaindealer office, which de­ pends entirely on the Public Service company for power in operating its linotype machine and presses, was thus put out of 'commission the greater part of Wednesday, one of the most important days of the week, and consequently the »s a trifle late in reaching its readers thla TO OBSERVE MEMORIAL MY BIG JiNE OF MARCH v ARRANGED Weather Deaava* Program In Village Park Permitting--Atty. Paal Is Speaker of Day Plans for Decoration day as given out by the committee point to a fitting observance of the occasion, weather permitting. Mr. Paul Donovan, the energetic young attorney from "Woodstock will be the speaker of the day. Other numbers on the program will be selec­ tions by a male quartet and the Mc­ Henry Choral club. At the conclusion of the program, which will be held in the village square in old town, a pro­ cession will march to the several cem­ eteries, where the graves of Civil war veterans will be decorated with flags. All the fraternal societies and lodges have been invited to participate in these ceremonies and each organ­ ization will be expected to appoint a sub-marshal for the lining up. of its own members. The marshal of the day for all the societies and for the entire procession will be Peter Doher­ ty. Forming in line at the high school grounds at 1:30, the marchers will proceed to the village square, where the progtam, as outlined, has been planned. They will later again form in line and proceed to the cemeteries, going last to St. Patrick's, which will be on th way to the place for disband­ ing, the village square. Autos will be provided for old soldiers. The committee in charge are Rev. M. J. McEvoy, Dr. C. H. Fegers, T. J. Walsh, Wm. Stoffel and F. A. Cooley. McHENRY GIVES MORE BOYS Three Young Men Left Here Ttoe*- day Morning For Sopft McHenry gave up three more of her young men on Tuesday morning of this week, when Francis Bonslett, Anton Blake and Arthur Meyers left with the McHenry county contingent for Jefferson Barracks, Mo. The McHenry county boys teft Woodstock • shortly after six o'clock that morning. The McHenry boys went over Monday afternoon, but were given permisison to come back home and pass the night with hone folks, which, we are certain, was very much appreciated by the boys. Tomorrow (Friday) another con­ tingent of boys will leave the county. Those from here who have received their two weeks' notice are the fol­ lowing: Howard ^Wattles, John E. Nicholls, Arthur Smith, Frank Jus- ten, Henry Freund, Henry Schaefer, Thomas uoherty. Four boys from Johnsburg have also received their notifications, they being Lonnie Michels, John Smith, Jake Thiel and Henry Schaefer. Most of the above boys will leave tomorrow and we are informed that they will be sent to some southern ^training camp. Henry Freund is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Freund of this vil­ lage and in view of the fact that he registered over in Lake county he will leave with the Libertyville boys. This is the second son that Mr. and Mrs. Freund have given this spring. Another call is expected some time between now and the first of the month, while June will also see a number of our boys leaving- for the training camps of the country. At the rate that the boys are being called to the colors at this time it looks as if Uncle Sam means busi­ ness and the available men in class A are rapidly diminishing. While the notice has been vary short and in view of the fact that the Red Cross drive has taken up so much of our citizens' time this week a fitting send-off could not be given the boys who are * leaving at this time, needless to say that our hearts and good wishes go out to each and every one of them and on behalf of the citizens of McHenry The Plain- dealer wishes them God speed on their journey. *; Mrs. Emma Philllips Dead A telegram from Leonard Phillips to Mr. and Mrs. Jos. C. Holly of this village announcing the death of Mrs. Emma Phillips was received Wed­ nesday evening. The wire was sent from Camp Upton, Long Island, N. Y., where her son is in service. Her death occurred at Atascadero, Calif., and the body will be brought to Chi­ cago for burial. Thus far we have been unable to find out just when the body will arrive in Chicago. De­ ceased was a well known resident of McHenry, where she resided up to a few years ago, and has a host of friends here, who regret her depar­ ture. Her only child, Leonard, sur­ vives her and also a sister, Mrs. Hattie Colby. She was about fifty- seven years of age. Mrs. Stephen Heiraer of Kenosha spent last Saturday with Mr, and Mrs. C. M. Bickler at their home here.
