Subscribed and sworn to before me this 3rd day of July, 1918. Eisie L. Smith, Notary Public., That Dog Nuisance Again Complaints regarding the dog nui­ sance are heard almost daily in Mc­ Henry. Dogs were never' more numerous in the village than they are at the present time and, what's more, the owners of same allow them to run at large both day and night and as a result of this a number of our residents have registered complaints. One resident complained to The Plain- dealer the other day that her gar­ bage cans are tipped over and the contents of same strewn about the yard almost every night and the nuisance has come to a state where something must and will be done. Another resident registered about the same complaint, while others declare that unless the owners of dogs take care of their hounds there is very apt to be a wholesale poisoning some of these days. While the writer does not believe in the poisoning of dogs, we do believe that the nuisance should be stopped and we therefore warn owners that if they place any value upon their pets to Jcssp them at home. While speaking on the subject we can not 'pass it up without once more re­ ferring to the dog license. It has come to our particular notice that there are many dogs running at large that are not supplied with license numbers. The Plaindealer has oftimes wondered whether the ordinance cov ering the licensing of (fogs was passed in McHenry for the purpose of enforc­ ing same on a certain few or whether the law was intended for all. We are sure that only a comparatively few dog licenses have been paid in McHenry this year, and why? Will the officials kindly give us the answer? It's the public that wants to know and has a right to know. What's your answer, gentlemen? Bridge Contract Let Die contract for the large and small bridge to be constructed at Fox Lake has been let; Julius Keg of Blue Island, 111., being the successful bidder. The bid made by Mr. Keg was $24,665. However, before actual work on the construction can begin, n state permit must first be obtained which will guarantee the village the material required to complete the work. According to reports from Fox Lake no difficulty will be experi­ enced in getting this permit and actual work on the improvement will begin within a short time. Lieut. Small at Pistakee Lieut. Small, just back from service in France, has been the center of at­ traction at Pistakee Bay during the past week or more. "He is a most interesting young chap and could write several books relating his ex­ periences," declared a fair resorter. Lieut. Small was gassed while "over there" and has been sent home .fao .re­ cuperate. Priests la Retreat Revs. Edward Berthold, and M. J. McEvoy of this village and Rev. Wm.

"Did you finish your trip?" "No sir." "You go out to­ morrow morning and do it over." Rooney lit up and quite puzzled said : "What, the same horse?" • In cross country flights we fly by a map en which we plot a course. By is and the aid of a compass a pilot ows at all times his bearings. The final stage constitutes acro­ batic work. This is where the criti­ cal moments and the thrills begin. Tail spins, loops, falling leaps, spirals, barrels,vrolls and any amount of other stunts. I have experienced a few of them while up with axi instructor. It is useless for me to try to illustrate the sensational part of it, while my apprehension is inexplicable. A per­ son hasn't lived ufitil he has exper­ ienced a ride in the air. We are flying Curtiss machines exclusively. They are rated at 130 horse power, 80 to 90 miles per hour. Have you any idea of what it costs to run a ship? Well, the exact fig­ ures are $325.00 an hour, considering overall expense. The approximate figures for a machine on the frojgt are $500.00 an hour. One of the fellows just came up and said: "Barb, 111 bet you are handing her the same old line, tell­ ing her you were thinking about her while sailing thru the clouds." Yes, this is an old line for an Aviation pilot to tell his girl. Believe me, a pilot has no time to be dreaming of his lady. He just compliments him­ self for getting overj the last woods or river he crossed and hopes old "gasoHne gus" keeps on popping. As I progress along in the work I will keep you informed as time may permit. Will conclude for this time, with my sincerest regards to you all, Your son, Paul. Letters From Joseph Cchaid/ Somewhere in England, June 1, 1918. Dear Mother and Sister--How are you all ? I am fine and dandy. As it is Sunday and the day is a trifle long I will pass some of the time in writing you a letter. I have answered all of my letters and am starting all over again. As we do not receive mail at this camp, we go back to our oltl camp a few times a week for mail- The fel­ low who helps nae has gone up for the mail today and I hope he will return with some. It means a five mile trip every time we go after our mail. We are two miles from the town, but the place where we are obliged to call and get our mail is three miles beyond this town and as it is quite a ways we do not get there very often. It is three miles to one town, five miles to another, ten miles to another and one town, a small place about the size of Volo, is a mile away, but one cannot find much pastime there. But, mother, I tell you, the longer I am in tye army the better I like it Our eats are pretty fair, better than they were at the other camp. There are not so many fellows in this camp, only a few of us, but those who are here are all some of my friends that you see on the card with me that I sent you. •.>. ,. • We are short ef matches today. They are hard to get so we started a fire and keep it burning so as to be able to enjoy our smokes. O, just leave it to us, we know how to get along all right and be happy at all times. About the first thing we do" upon arising in the morning is to dump a pail of cold water on some of the fel­ lows who don't want to get up. I have learned td get up first. We are allowed to sleep until seven o'clock and as we roll in at ten o'clock every night we get plenty of rest. We have to walk a half mile to our meals and we have real girls for cooks and we can tell the difference as we are get­ ting something out of the ordinary. Myself and another fellow are now sleeping in an office near a store house, which we are guarding. I received four Plaindealers that you sent me and am looking- for more. Keep on sending them and send a daily paper once in awhile.» I enjoy read­ ing them. The people in England use us fine and do all they can for us. Don't worry about getting the d-r^- kajlser. Well get him sometime. '. :'f ! With lovej , . j oseph. Somewhere in England, June 7, 1918. Dear Sister Delia--As I now have a little time I will write a few lines and let you know that I am still well and happy. We had a little *ork today and have just finished shaving, so feel like writing you a nice, long letter. We work from about 9:00 o'clock until 4:00 p. m. We shave every night, as we have to keep clean at this job' at all times. There are about 110 nurses here and we are on the good side with them. It setms good to be with American girls again. It is oui* privilege to take the girls out, but we must report in at ten o'clock. We dont have supper until 7:00 p.-ta., so you see it does not give us much time with the girls. Ha, ha. The paper doesn't look very good this morning. We can buy a pfper here every morning and get some of the news as to what is going on. Well, the time will come when we will all be together again. At least I hope so. IH bet when this war is over there will be some happy girls at home waiting for us Everything is very high here. You cannot buy much for your money, but 111 bet things are higher in the states now, too, aren't they ?

There are plenty of clothes here and all I have to do is to help myself. 's - •, I get lots of mail now, if the folks only keep it up. I will be at this same place or elose to here for some time, which will give me an opportu nity to go down and call for the mail a few times each week. I haven't heard a word of ,moving and the re ports are that ,we will remain here for some time to come., . However, one never can tell, as we are ii* the army now. ' • ;•" Tell mother and father to take care of themselves and not to work too hard and not to worry about me. as I am getting along fine. Well I must close, hoping this let­ ter finds you all well. With love> am as ever, Your brother, . .. » v Joseph Schaid. i /T . Inetuia Feffer The letter herewith published from a soldier in France was written by Irenus Feffer, son of Mr. and Mrs. Emil Feffer. The stationery used by him was furnished by the American Red X>oss. It follows: v May 31, 1918.' Dear Sisters--I received your letter today, but not the candy. Have re­ ceived no second-class mail of late. I have had twenty letters from you since New Years and fifteen from Rose.- You asked in your letter when the war would he over. When we quit fighting, in other words, when Ger­ many is whipped. I have never heard from Joe. I suppose he Will soon be over here. . As soon as I getvback to a rest camp I am going to have my eyes treated. They are in bad shape. I got a letter from Uncle Tom and Margaret yesterday. Did Elizabeth and "Bun" get ,the leter I wrote.them ? From you picture, Evelyn, I would •say you are growing and getting fleshy. My pals say you favor me in ooks. So dad bought a liberty bond. Good for him. Every liberty bond sold means that the war is that much nearer the end. I will soon wear two gold chevrons for service over here. We get one for every six months. Well, dear sister, I cftn't think of anything more to write, Thanks in advance for the candy. % Your loving brother, ?' •• Irenus. 'Co. C, 16th InE, A. E. F. .v--;- -j, Fran Francis Bonslett As free will offering by the men, who recently congregated at StoffeFs hall on the occasion of the boys' fare­ well reception, resulted in each boy being mailed a"*check and the follow' ing acknowledgment was received from Francis Bonslett upon receipt of his remembrance: July 4, 1918. Mr. Carl W. Stenger, committee, People of McHenry. Dear Sir--Your kind letter of June 24, in which you enclosed the check, was certainly appreciated and I thank you very much for it. I might add that every cent of the check has been invested in stamps. This being the "Fourth of July we are having a big celebration. Begin­ ning at 8:30 this morning many ath­ letic stunts were run, among them foot races, boxing and tug of war. This afternoon we are having a big ball game, the recruits vs. the regu­ lars. This evening at 8:30 there will be distribution of prizes by Colonel H. T. Ferguson for those who placed in the different events this morning. Immediately after a dance will take place at the soldiers' club. I nearly forgot to mention that there are a few vaudeville acts to be given after supper. We are fortunate in having very good cooks in our company. Perhaps you would like to hear of the dinner today, which was the best that we have had since we have been here. First we had roast pork, mashed potatoes and fine brown gravy, buttered beets, cucumber salad and fine white bread. As dessert we were given lemonade, apricot cream pie, ice cream and cake. I feel safe in saying that there wasn't a better meal served Ja any camp than our dinner here. - ~• -418^ JKwr ^4*^ ^ Vk£ • P F y I r t V v: • - 4 -'Sy REPUBLICAN CAlfDOMtTE FOR COUNTY TOASURER MeHENRY COUNTY ' respectfully solicits your support and vote at the primaries, We|£ , nesday, September 11,1918.
