Remember the threshermen's con­ vention at the court house in Wood­ stock, June 8, at 1:00 p. m. A carnival company arrived in town Saturday and is attractively located on the site* opposite the village hall. Kirk Harrison has resigned his po­ sition at the Star garage and began work at the Borden bottling plant here Tuesday morning. In addition to the program already published a duet will be given by Claude Frett and Rev. M. J. McEvoy at the Central tonight. Floyd E. Covalt has taken the con­ tract for a large cement silo on the Fred A. Cooley farm southwest of this village. Work will begin at once. A card from Robert Costello to his uncle, Walter J. Walsh, reports his safe arrival in France. Robert left with the guards from Elgin in July. The freshmen at the high school en­ joyed a "weenie roast" near the Good­ man home Monday evening. They were chaperoned by Misses Agnes Carey tod Eleanor Phalin. The application of the street oil has been delayed on account of the continued rains. It is hoped that the rains will cease long enough to give the village a chance to properly apply the oil. The McHenry High School Alumni association will hold its annual ban­ quet at Stoffel's hall Saturday even­ ing. Dancing will be enjoyed by the members and their friends following the banquet. Search is being made for citizens who refused to set the clock ahead aAording to government orders. Mc­ Henry reports no slackers, as all will­ ingly conformed to the ruling and en­ joyed the change. A young man, giving his residence Chicago, was pulled up and fined at Crystal Lake one day last week on charge of peddling without a license. The fine and costs amounted »to $16. He sold furniture polish. Among the boys who left Lake county last week for training camps we note that three had given their place of residence as McHenry. They are: Leon L. Monahan, Lloyd Frank­ lin Dowell and Henry Freund. Notwithstanding the fact that three of our boys left the county seat with the McHenry county con­ tingent early last Saturday morning, there'were a number from here at the station to bid them good-bye. The Ladies' Aid society will meet with Mrs. Frank Sayler on Wednes­ day, June 5. This will be an all day meeting for the purpose of filling orders for aprons up to date. Mem­ bers are requested to be present, Business men of McHenry must re member that before selling fire crack­ ers or any other fireworks usually used in celebrating our nation's birth day, one must secure a license. These are obtainable at the office of County Clerk Guy E. Still at Woodstock. The work basket, donated to the Red Cross bazaar by Mrs. Flossie Cofcfe, was won by Miss Irene Harruff, No. 23 being the lucky number. The chances were sold at a penny each by two little girls, Lenore Cobb and Lillian Buss, and they realized $6.65 for the bazaar. RSPAY, MAY30 i UNDER DIRECTION OWl Rev. M. J.

Believing that there are many men in and around McHenry who do not know how to salute old glory properly we print the following instructions: Remove your hat and hold it in your right hand, place it over your heart and keep it there while the colors go by. That new order "work or fight" meets the approval of our citizens who are pleased with it. Only this week the village was invaded by a small army of horse traders and um­ brella menders. This class will be wiped out of existence by the new bill. Pvt. Leo Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. John R. Smith, who reside at Emerald Park, described his trip to California in a letter recently received by his parents, which isvherewith reproduced: Camp Fremont, Calif., May 5, '18. Dear Father and Mother--I am fine. This is the only life, but we won't get a chance to come home until after the war. The captain told us we would probably stay here four or five months before going to France. When we arrived at Jefferson Bar­ rack, Mo., on May 2, t$ie first thing we did was to go to the depot and get a cot, then got a tick filled with straw and prepared our cots for the night. Our tents were all up and ready for us and we slept fine that night. There were 525 men on the train of fifteen coaches, which carried us here from Chicago. The following morning we had breakfast, went to be examined/which took from 8:00 a. m. until 6:00 p. m., without dinner. Had to take a cold bath, which we didn't like very well, but we knew we had to do it. Then they gave us a bag or knapsack. We were then supplied with our uniforms, a hat, two shirts, two pair of trousers, pair of shoes, three suits underwear, pair of leggings, a coat, five pairs of socks, comb and brush. On Sunday, May 7, we took our knapsack to the depot, wjhere we en trained at 3 p. m. There were three train loads of us, 1,700 men in all. We had some time. Every afternoon we were taken off the train at some town for a five mile hike, which made us feel good. It took us four and one- half days to make thee journey. Ev­ ery town we passed thru we made all the noise we could. We had berths on the train and our meals were served us the same as they are here in camp. We each received a tin plate, tin cup, knife, fork and spoon. We wash our own dishes. They took, us the long way around so we saw much country. We passed thru the states of Missouri, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexi­ co, Arizona and thence on to our camp in California via San Francisco and Los Angeles. New Mexico and Ari­ zona are all sand, just bare ground. There was such sand storms we had to close the windows. We also went thru some tunnels a mile in length and cut thru the mountains. We passed along and over the mountains for a distance of ten to twenty miles and when at the top we could look down on the track which we has just passed over. It didn't look far down. I sure did enjoy the trip and I guess the other boys did too. The spring is about two months further advanced here than in Illinois. The days are warm, but the nights are cool. TV® get up st 5:45 a. m., have roll call, then breakfast at 6:30 and at 8:30 we strt our drill and hike until 12:30, then dinner and at 2:00 p. m. we start out again and work until 4:30, eat supper and then we are thru for the day. Give all of my friends my address so that I, can get a lot of mil. Don't know of any more to write at this time. Leo- Co. G, 8th Inf., Camp Fremont, Calif. i IK-:" 4v J v. .

Kraepel is another one of our boys whose name should appear on our roll of honor. Mrs. Mary K. Adams of this village received a card from her son, Stephen H., Wednesday morning, announcing his arrival in France. John May, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. May, who recently enlisted his ser­ vices in the U. S. army, reported at Camp Grant last Monday. William Karls, son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Karls of this village, is another one of our boys who has safely reached the other shores. Mr. and Mrs. John Degen have re­ ceived notification that their son, Michael, who left McHenry early last fall, is now across the waters. Woodstock's former national guard company, now Co. G, of the 12th In­ fantry, arrived safely overseas. Lewis Stoffel, James Doherty and Walter Geske, who claim this village as their home, were enrolled in the cqmpany when same left Woodstock early last Among the boys who enlisted this week are Wm. Bickler and Leo Still­ ing. They went to Chicago Tuesday for examination and now await their call into service. Edwin Boyle left last Wednesday for Jefferson Bar­ racks, Mo. This is the second son to enlist from the John Boyle family, James having gone into' training a few months ago. How many young men in McHenry township have ,,become twenty-one years of age since last Junet This is a question that has been asked many times during the past week. Some have placed the figure at a dozen, others guessed twenty and one. esti­ mated the number at thirty. Wednes­ day of next week is registration day for these young men and the question will be definitely answered on that day.

When it is considered that nearly one hundred yoUng men, who claim McHenry township as their home, have' already gone, yp do not wonder at the proportions that our army has already attained. The work of registering the young men of the •V county occurred just one year ago andig at that time 172 signatures were ob-| j tained here and eighty-two at Ring- wood. The class A 1 men is growing mighty small in this township and it will not be long before the next class will be called. r mr: it < t -.tv Uf
