One hundred German prisoners of war are now. confined at Camp Grant. During the day time the men "farm it" on the military reservation, while a strong guard keeps watch over them. All of the captives speak English, their section chief being a German university graduate. The first 'training camp at Lake Geneva, Wis., came to a . close last Sunday evening. The enrollment in the first camp numbered about 260 men, many of whom were university and high school professors, who were given a thoro course to. fit them as instructors in military training. The second camp opened Monday morn­ ing, when 300 boys of high school age from all parts of the country enrolled. They will be given two weeks of hard drilling. On July 1 of this year the Marengo postoffice will be dropped from the second to the third class. The office was placed into the second class about a year ago, but a falling off in busi­ ness during the past twelve months has caused the department to place same back into the class from which it was taken at that time. This means that the postmaster's salary will also be reduced and that he will also be obliged to pay for clerk hire. His salary beginning July 1, 1918, will be $1900 per year. George Ives of Grayslake, who is employed as a salesman for the Bunte Candy company of Chicago, was held up and robbed by auto bandits in broad day light in that city one day last week. He was driving the com­ pany's runabout into Elston avenue from Milwaukee avenue when a large car. honked, drove up behind him and honked its horn for him to turn out. The car passed and after going but a short distance stopped right in the middle of the road, thus necessitating Mr. Ives to shut down his our. Two of the men then came over and cov­ ering him with a revolver robbed the salesman of $450. Police are now Ob Accouat of War Conditions Pub- f iMura W8I Not Hold Outing On account of the war conditions, so many of the printers being called to the colors, leaving proprietors of print shops short of help, the mem­ bers of the Suburban Publishers' as­ sociation, which had planned to hold its annual outing in McHenry and on Fox river and which fact was made public thru the columns of this paper in its last issue, have cancelled all arrangements made for this event. The members of the association canie to this conclusion at a special meeting held the latter pert of last week and, while the writer as well as the people of the village are sorry to learn of the action taken, it was really the only thing to do under the cir­ cumstances. However, things may shape themselves in another year so that the contemplated .trip may be taken. The newspaper boys of the asso­ ciation are doing everything within their power to help Uncle Sam during the crisis at hand and after reconsid­ ering the action taken at the last reg­ ular meeting of the association they arrived at the conclusion that the an­ nual outing should be dispensed with for this year. The writer received his notification from the corresponding Secretary, H. F. Crunden, last Saturday night, who also informed us that he had written Messrs. Everett Hunter and J. C. Bickler, with whom arrangements had been made for boats for the river trip and dinner at the McHenry Hoyse in the evening. The editor also takes this means of notifying those who have so kindly offered the use of their cars for the occasion and wishes to thank them for the spirit and generosity shown. We can assure each and every one of these gentlemen that their kindness is deeply appreciated and we are only sorry that the event has been called off for this year. LEAVE FOR TRAINING SCHOOLS Five McHenry Boys Left TUa lage Last Week Til. Twenty-four young men from this county left Woodstock last Friday aft­ ernoon and 'erentng feir training schools. Of this number thirteen left at 1:30 p. m. for Kansas City, Mo., Where they have since been enrolled in the Rahe auto school. Three from this village were included in the thirteen who left at that time, they being Chas. Ray Page, Walter K. Conway and John A. Bolger. The * other eleven men left at 5:30 p. m. for the same city, but as they arrived at their destination they became enrolled in the Sweeney auto school. Large crowds gathered at the depot as the boys left. Speakers as well as the Woodstock band helped to make their leaving more pleasant. As in all other instances of thisvkind, the boys left in the highest spirits and with the well-wishes of those who had gathered to bid them good-bye. Jos. Stenger left Woodstock at 8:30 Saturday morning in company with one other McHenry county young man for Valparaiso, where they will enter the university for training for the U. S. army. Robert Knox also left Saturday morning with another McHenry county contingent for Evanston, where he is now enrolled in the Northwestern uni­ versity. He will remain there for the next two months for a course in me­ chanical training. Circus Was Good Sparks' circus exhibited here to two large audiences last Sunday afternoon and evening. The show arrived about seven o'clock that morning and the unloading was witnessed by many of our people, both old and young. The big parade, which took place about the noon hour, was also witnessed by many. The performances as a whole were quite merited and everyone who saw the show appeared pleased. Like all other enterprises the war has hit the Sparks circus quite hard. The publicity manager informed a reporter that they were losing performers as well as workmen right along and as a result of this a number of the acts that were advertised and which were carried at the opening of the season were missing. The animal acts, espe­ cially the trained sea lions and ele­ phants, were very good, while the aerial performers, the bareback rid­ ers, wire artists, clowns and all other performers were as good as one could see anywhere. The circus came here from Rockford, where they exhibited on Saturday, and from this place they moved on to Evanston. ^ Parents Give Farewell Mr. and Mrs. M. A. Conway com­ plimented their son, Walter, before his leaving for service by inviting the immediate family and near relatives to a six o'clock dinner and farewell reception at their home on Thursday evening of last week. Elgin relatives included were Mr. and Mrs. John Aylward and Misses Delia and Min- SO RATED BY WAR SAVSiSS STAMP DIRECTOR County Is Now About a Month Ahead of Her Quota For First Six Months It is more than gratifying to learn that McHenry county is one of the twenty-six honor counties of Illinois that have been so rated by the state director of war pavings stamps. A. M. Shelton, county chairman of war savings stamps, received a letter re­ cently congratulating this county of being able in the judgment of the state director of "going over the top befWe the close of the year." Mc­ Henry county is now about a month ahead of her quota for the first six months. The total quota, for the year for McHenry county is $700,000.00. A great deal of credit is d.ue the teach­ ing force of McHenry county, who have conducted, up to the present time, the securing of sales and pledges for war savings stamps. During war savings pledge week, May 11 to 18, a trifle more than $200,- 000.00 in pledges were received from six thousand people. This is an average of more than $30.00 for each person that pledged. This amount was equally divided between the city and village schools and the purely rural school districts. The cash sales in McHenry county for the first five months of t|w"~'year approximate $125,000.00. Thirty-five of the "city and rural districts have not made a complete import to this office at this time. Re­ port? to date show the following honor school districts that have either me* their quota or "gone over the top" in sales and pledges: 1, Haeger district, Gertrude Klein, teacher; 6, South Riley, Gladys Kel- log; 17, Emerald Park, Mary E. Knox; 26, Cary, Christine Karlert; 27, Oak Glen, Irma Long; 30, Monteloma, Maude" Barrows; 35, Howe, Ella Buchanan; 40, Clemens, Mary G. Doherty; 42, Prairie, Genevieve Knox; 46, Prairie Grove, Lucile Byrd; 52. Ford, Mirtie Jayne; 54, Algonquin, O. F. Fowler; 59, Glass, Helen Lalor; 66 Reed, Hilda Knutson; 76, McConnell, Grace Cannon; 81, Halligus, Pearl 'enk; 82, Schuyler, Bern ice Rehberg; 109, Vermont, Mildred Poyer; 131, Stones, Jeannette Milligan; 132, South Dunham, Gladys Esmond; 142, Mc- Govem, Amelia Hancef 146, Riley Center, Irene Mackey. When schools open in the fall the work 'will be taken up again and the task of completing McHenry county's quota will be accomplished. Mean­ while President Wilson has issued the following proclamation: To the People of the State of Illinois: The president of the United States n a proclamation issued May 29 says: 'I earnestly appeal to every man, woman and child to pledge themselves on -or before the 28th day of June to save constantly and to buy as regu­ larly as possible the securities of the government and to do this as far as possible thru membership in war savings societies. The 28th of June ends this special period of enlistment n' the great volunteer army of pro­ duction and saving here at home. May there be none unenlisted on that day." (Signed) Woodrow Wilson. Pursuant to the above proclamation a cordial invitation is extended to all those who have not pledged ade­ quately to do so on or before June 28. The real test of patriotism is shown when one voluntarily goes to his bank or postoffice and subscribes for his quota, $20.00 for each man, woman and child in his family. Neither you, your local school district or McHenry county can be called a slacker where each one does his part. No cash is required. Any postoffice or mail carrier will gladly furnish you with a pledge card. You may pay your quota at your convenience. Be one of the next six thousand in McHenry county to carry this war burden with a glad heart. See that your name is on this honor roll. If you cannot carry this burden for your neighbors, highly resolve to carry at least your own load. There is no escape, you must back the boys at the front. Then with a clear con­ science you are ready for the fourth liberty loan, come when it maj^^p A True Patriot • Otto Abromorwitz, residing on John street, sent to the vice chairman of the McHenry branch of the American Red Cross the first interest money received from his liberty loan investment with a promise that all future earnings from his bonds would be contributed to the local Red Cross. His donation is very thankfully received and his generosity in this as well as many other demonstrations of patriotism is v^^ammendable. Dance at Stubby's A sdcial dance will be gftfsn at Smith's hall, Johnsburg, on Wednes­ day evening, June 26. The dance will be a farewell for the boys who leave for service and is under the auspices of tiie young men of that place. Good music. Tickets, 50 cents.

We trust to that those who have re- to ceived these statements will to realize our position and to show their appreciation for to what we have been doing to for them by remitting to us We promptly. When it is con- to sidered that most of the to papers have advanced in to price and also ihe fact that to they are asking subscribers to to pay strictly in advance, to, to one can readily understand to the present day situation to that confronts every news- to paper publisher. The Plain- to dealer has been more than to lenient with its subscribers to during all of this crisis. We to have not only held the sub- to scription at the old rate of to $1.50,' but have given many to .of our subscribers several to months and in many cases to a year in which to make the to payment. Now that these to subscriptions are due us we to sincerely hope that all will to, respond without delay, thus to saving us the time and ex- to pense of again making out to another statement and send- to ing same thru the mail, to Mailing out statements to these days costs money and to when one considers that the to postage alone runs up into to quite a sum of money you to will readily understand what to it means to us. While we to did not find time to go over to the entire list, more state- to ments will follow this and to next week. In fact, our in- to tentions are to keep right to on "dunning" until the list to is again cleaned up. Of to course you will not make us to angry by sending in your to remittance before receiving to a statement, as this will to mean at least five cents to to us on every subscription to thus sent. The Plaindealer to, wants to play fair with ev- to eryone and we believe that to you must acknowledge that to this has been done in the to past and will continue in the to future. In exchange we ex- to pect fair play from our to subscribers by a prompt to settlement of subscription to accounts. Mistakes may to have occurred in making to out these statements and in to all cases where errors are to found we are only too will- to ing to correct same. If you to feel that an error has been to made in making out your to statement kindly do us the favor to notify us at once so that same may be cor­ rected immediately.

Mary McLaughlin last Saturday and many attended during the day and evening. A quilt, in the frames on the lawn, was pieced by Mrs. McLaughlin and much admired by all. The pattern, called the "World's Wonder," is very intricate and the greatest wonder is that a woman of her years could ac­ complish such a task. This dear old lady watched with interest and de­ light as each one tied a knot and con­ tributed their "mite" for the comfort of the soldier boys. To the gentler sex it seemed an art and much mer­ riment prevailed while the men "did knot." On the lawn and road side floated beautiful American flags, pre­ senting a most delightful scene. Ice cream and cake were served by Misses Katie McLaughlin and Mary G. Doh­ erty. The weather was delightful and the day enjoyed by all. Many of those attending were not aware of the novel plan until their arrival, which certainly proved very enter­ taining and netted the neat sum of $39.00. to to to to Ito to Arrested For Speeding The parties who were arrested on complaint of motor speeding within the village limits several days ago, and whose trial was called for two o'clock at the village hall on last Fri­ day, pleaded guilty and the case was settled out of court, both paying heavy fines and costs. This should be a warning to many others in this village who daily violate the rules recardinir the speed limit. H. W. Allen of Ringwood Made Pres­ ident of New County Organization --Judge Smiley Explains Object On Saturday afternoon, June 8, a meeting was held in the courthouse in Woodstock for the purpose of organ­ izing a permanent Threshermen's as­ sociation The meeting opened at two o'clock, H W. Allen taking charge of the meeting. Nominations for a tempo­ rary chairman and secretary were in order. H. W. Allen was elected tem­ porary chairman and William Hend- riekson of Richmond temporary sec­ retary. J||dge D. T. Smiley then made a motion that the chairman ap­ point a committ of three to act as a committee on nominations for perma­ nent organization. The chairman then appointed Ben Justen, Will Whiting and B. L. McCannon on this committee, who adjourned to the ad­ joining room. The object of the meeting was then explained by the temporary chairman, H. W. Allen. C. L. Page of West McHenry was called upon and made a few remarks regarding an organi­ zation for protecting the threshermen of McHenry county. Judge Smiley gave a forcible explanation of the laws regarding the threshermen's protec­ tion as it appears on the statute. The committee on permanent organization then reported the following nomina­ tions for permanent officers: H. W. Allen, president; C. L. Page, secre­ tary. C. L. Page refused the nomi- lation, stating that the officers chosen were both from the same locality and therefore wished to withdraw his tame for secretary. L. V. Andrews of Riley township was then nominated or permanent secretary. The motion was made and seconded that H. W. Allen be the president and L. V. An­ drews be secretary. These two of­ ficers were elected by a unanimous yote. Clarke E. Stahly, secretary of the Illinois Brotherhood of Threshermen of LeRoy, 111., the speaker of the aft­ ernoon, was then introduced by the president. Questions were then raise<Lby those present and answered by Mr. Stahly. The meeting adjourned with about 100 signing up. There will be another meeting in Woodstock on Saturday, June 22, at the court house. It is understood that the government has set a price on threshing, so everybody come at one p. m. Miscellaneous Shower When Miss Laura Barbian entered the house she found herself in a heavy shower. She had no umbrella, but of course she didin't need one, because t was a miscellaneous shower in the form of towels, tea-pots, pictures and many other pretty things too numer­ ous to mention, even a rolling pin, which came in handy in a great many ways. Misses Annabelle Heimer and Julia Freund acted as hostesses. The party was given on the lawn at the Freur/d home. Jack-o'-lanterns and gay little tables made a pretty pic­ ture. The evening's fun began with a mock wedding. To the strains of a wedding march, played very effec­ tively by Miss Clara Miller, the bride, Miss Laura, and the groom, MisB Elsie Wolff, marched into the midst of the assembly. We must add that Miss Heimer made a perfect minister. The ceremony was interrupted several times by screams of mirth, which the onlookers found impossible to sup­ press. The remainder of the evening was spttnl in singing and the playii of various games. Invitations were extended to the following: Misses Marguerite Friedley, Lucy and Ethel Burkhartsmeier and Marion McOm- ber of Chicago; Miss Helen Heimer of Kenosha; Mrs. Raymond Whiting of Lake Geneva; Misses Madeline Dimmel and Ruth Carlson of Wood­ stock; Misess Elizabeth and Louise Williams, Louise Stilling, Marion Whiting, Mary Bonslett, Mayme Bar­ bian, Annabelle Heimer, ^azabeth and Clara Miller, Elsie Wolff, Mayme Ibsh, Mayme Buss, Theresa Barbian, Clara Freund, Laura Barbian, Lenore and Julia Freund. About 10:30 a luncheon was served and at 12:00 o'clock the merry crowd dispersed. Please Take Notice Having been called into the medical service of the United States army on short notice, giving me little time to collect bills now due me, I hereby wish to make it public that I have author­ ized my wife to collect and give re­ ceipts for all accounts due me. Those knowing themselves to be indebted to me will confer me as well as my wife a great favor by calling at my Johns­ burg residence at their very earliest convenience, as it is my desire to have all these matters straightened up shortly so that my wife may join me in the East, where I expect to be sta­ tioned for some time to come.

BIG~DEMON STRATH) N Of Fetdson Tractors Will Be Held at Aurora Monday and Tuesday *i. z - • . - • ' ."V> • i... ij ' Li'.-i . if.; The much talked of Fordson trac­ tor, manufactured by Henry Ford & Son, is ready for delivery in limited quantities to Illinois farmers, Gov. Lowden wrote Henry Ford ft Son asking them to allot a number of these tractors to Illinois in order that the farmers might see them dem­ onstrated and avail themselves, in this time of scarcity of labor, to meet their requirements for increasing production to aid in winning the war. Henry Ford ft Son responded to Gov. Lowden by allotting 750 Ford- son tractors to Illinois to be distribut­ ed at factory prices with no profit whatever to the distributor. John R. Knox, Ford distributor in this territory, has volunteered to assist the state department of agri­ culture in distributing these tractors where they will do the most good and will gladly give any information he may have at hand to any farmer that may be interested. There will be a public demonstration of the Fordson tractor at Moose Heart farm, Aurora, next Monday and Tuesday, June 24 and 25. Gov. Lowden and Henry Ford ex­ pect to be there and every farmer in­ terested in tractors should avail them­ selves of this opportunity of combin­ ing business with pleasure and take a day off to see the work that can be done with this wonderful machine. All roads lead to Aurora and the Fordson tractor next Monday and Tuesday. Entertain Boys of St. Patrick's A party, which included twenty- five young friends of the boys who left for service on Friday of last' week, was given in the home of Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Knox on the Thursday even­ ing previous to their leaving Mc­ Henry. The party was planned by the Knox sisters and the honored guests were boys from St. Patrick's parish, Robert Knox, Walter Con way and John Bolger. The game of bunco proved most enjoyable during the early part of the evening, after which lovely refreshments were served, and each of the three boys responded to a request for an im­ promptu. From childhood these boys have been gifted with eloquence and on this occasion each ambition had reached its height and tenderness and pride entered the hearts of all present as the boys expressed their willingness to support the government in anything it undertakes for a glorious victory. Those present voted the evening one of the most delight­ ful ever spent and everyone left with a feeling of pure patriotism and with renewed vigor to help win the war. The boys left Woodstock Friday afternoon and reports thus far are to the effect that the training required is interesting. With the Colors. A postcard from Edwin J.
