WiM Eat The conservation department of the food administration is advocating as a war measure this year the plan of thrashing gangs and other large working gangs on the farm going home for their supper instead of re­ maining for their evening meal at the farm where they have worked. The question of flour and meat is very serious and growing more so every day and it is believed that the practice recommended above will re­ sult in a large saving of these com­ modities. The house wife who prepares a meal for a large gang of workmen must necessarily prepare a larger quantity than is eaten. The left, overs can be worked up for the home folks where she would hesitate to set them before the workmen. Also, when the machine moves on, as a rule the men of the farm follow to work on the next job and there is no one left at homte except the women and children to consume the large amount of bread, meat and other perishable foods. This results in an enormous waste every year and this year it is espe­ cially necessary that all waste be eliminated. If each man goes home to his supper these leftovers from dinner will be consumed and thfre will be none left to waste. Another point, in these day* of sub­ stitutes it is hard to cater tb so many individual tastes. This will require that a still larger amount of bread, etc., be prepared than usual as there must be more than one variety to please all, so there will be just so much more on hand to dispose of when the gang has moved on. The crew who accompany the ma­ chine should be given their supper as a matter of course, but there is no good reason why*the rest of the gang should not go home before supper' in­ stead of immediately after. Most of the farmers prefer to do so, as they are usually late in getting home at the best, and the evening chores must be uone. It is oniy a matter of cus­ tom anyway and old customs are rap­ idly giving away to new ones now­ adays. This is one that may well be changed. Last, but by no means the least, is tiie saving in strength to the farm housekeeper, who is bearing so large a burden of the world war. It is de­ sired that all clubs and other organ­ izations take this matter up and urge the practice thruout McHenry'county. Where there are no organizations to handle the matter let each individual take it upon himself to urge this ac­ tion as a patriotic duty. Geo. May at Fort Sheridan George May, son of Mr. and Mrs. Jos. May of this village, who recently enlisted his services with Uncle Sam, writes us that he is now stationed at Fort Sheridan, 111. Mr. May enlisted the fifth day of July and was sent to Columbus Barracks, Ohio, fpur days later. He left Ohio and arrived at Fort Sheridan on the twentieth^ where he is now 'located. He is a member of Machine Gun Troop, 312th cavalry, one of the finest troops, he writes, now stationed at that point. He speaks very highly of the officers in the camp and also says that he gets the best of eats. He adds fur­ ther that he, with the others, is be­ ing worked hard every day and en­ joys it. Mr. May is now under in­ structions to become a non-commis- sioned officer. On his way from Co­ lumbus Barracks to Fort Sheridan he met some soldiers on the train that had returned from France. Some of lueui rou uew khbhvu, while others were suffering from shot wounds and other ailments, altho all were in fine spirits and spoke of the French being a fine set of people. Mr. May's ad­ dress is Machine Gun Troop, 312th Cavalry, Fort Sheridan, 111., and he will be pleased to hear from his Mc­ Henry friends. j Toe Many Fia* A Chicago man was picked Up ny a game warden at Pistakee Bay one day last week and placed under arrest for having in his possession more than twenty-five pounds of fish.

The following letter from Jacob R. Justen, a former owner of a farm near Pistakee Bay, will be of interest to his many friends in and around McHenry: Cando, N. D., Mr. F. G. Schreiner, ,,v \ ; McHenry, 111. - • Dear Friend Frank---Received the package which you sent me some time ago all O. K. I should have written you sooner, but you know how it is for a farmer to write. We had our first electric storm last night with a good rain, which will make our crops. If we should not get another rain our crops are now safe unless something unusual happens. Mrs. Justen and myself took a trip with the car last week. We visited my brother, Stephen, and family, Mrs. Nell and family, William Niesen and Leo Walsmley. We found them all in good health and their crops looking fine. We covered three hundred miles and all you could see was grain. It was just grand. You would think it was all one lake when there was a little wind. We have never seen such a nice crop in all our lives. The way the crop stands it will run from twen­ ty to thirty bushels to an acre. We certainly enjoy this life. This is what we call real life on the farm. The corn looks good what there is of it. I only saw about one hundred acre^on |the entire trip. We will have as we have now a big packing plant at Fargo. The build ing is all completed and fourteen carloads of machinery have Arrived and now being installed. It is large enough to handle a thousand pigs and five hundred cattle a day and it is so arranged that an addition may be add­ ed at any time. It was built by a large corporation and most of the stock is held by the farmers and it will be only a matter of a few years before all the stock is owned by the farmers. It seems funny not to have some­ one around all the time kicking, for while I was in business at the Bay I got some of this every day. Some would kick about the milk because it wouldn't keep sweet for a week, others because the fifty pounds of ice would not last a month. If nothing happens I will see you this fall. With best regards, I am, Yours truly, Jacob R. Justen, ' " f I I P i , Hi. Welch Sells Farm Wm. J. Welch informs us that he has disposed of his farm, located a short distance south of the village limits on the prairie, to Jacob F. Jus­ ten, who owns and conducts a farm at Ladd's corners, between this vil­ lage and Richmond. The deal was closed on Monday of this week and thru it the purchaser comes into pos­ session of one of the most desirable farms in this locality. The farm con­ sists of 160 acres and the purchase price, we are told, was $250 per acre. Mr. Justen will ocupy the farm him­ self-and will move onto same on or about November 1. He will rent the farm he now occupies. The Welch farm is now being conducted by Mr. Welch's son-in-law, Glenn Rohison, who has decided te give up farm life this fall. Boys Doing Fine in Kansas City Fi'om one who called on the Mc­ Henry county boys who are now sta­ tioned at Kansas City, Mo., we learn that the boys are doing fine and in the very best of spirits.

Page and Walter Conway are at the Rahe school in North Kansas City. The boys are all working like trojens and are .displaying great interest in the work which they are going thru under the watchful eye of able in­ structors. The boys wished to be re­ membered to their many Mcti^nry friends. , * Walter L. Sattem Tells of the Tor­ pedoing of the San Diego--In Water rratti 11:25 A. M. to 4:10 P. M. New York, July 23, 1918. ' Dear Folks and Sis---I suppose you have been wondering why I haven't written to you. Well, it's like this. We couldn't say much until after the court of inquiry was over and another tiling, we didn't get any liberty, and we didn't have anything to write on or with and no money to buy any­ thing. Everything went down in Davy Jones' locker except what we had on when we went over the side. I had on a suit of underwear and a pair of khaki pants. I took off my shoes And shirt when I went in, be­ cause I didn't know how long I'd have to swim. When the torpedo hit the ship I was just going to wash some paint work that needed it to pass an inspection that was coming off in half an hour. I just got the rag soapy and ready for work when bang, and the ship shook so at almost knocked me over. Quarters were sounded and I went to my gun and we couldn't see anything for about five minutes. Then the ship swung around and we saw a funny looking barrel and started to fire. The ship was listing pretty badly by that time to the port side, where our gun is, and when we had fired nine shots the water was within two feet of our gun port hole and the crew had already abandoned ship, but we had to stay until we got word from the fire control station, which came just as the water was starting to pour into the gun port. Our gun captain had sent two of the fellows up on the top­ side to get us some life belts as there were none at the gun, but those guys never did come back, and really I don't blame them, because things did look kind of bad, but when we got word to leave the ship we did get up on the top side in a hurry. We looked for a life belt, but couldn't find any, so the gun captain jumped off the port ̂ ide. It was only a couple of feet to the water by that time and one of the others, a fellow by the nK™ e of Knight, went over the star­ board side and slid into the water, but Allendei .and I, with the help of the boatswain aad a sailor, got a dinky row boat over the port side by the time the rail was ukder water. * Then ut we had [die away .over all the $26.15 For Red CiwMr ' * As a result of the ice cream social held on the lawn at the home of Mr. and Mrs. James Revor last Friday afternoon and evening, the treasury of the local chapter of the American Red Cross society has been enriched to the extent of $26.15. Numbers were also sold on a Red Cross cushion, which is to be raffled off at a future meeting of the Red Cross society and it is expected that the sale of chances on this article will net the society $16 or more. Mrs. James Revor and Mrs. John W. Fay, who gave the social, wish to thank the public for the pat­ ronage and wish to extend especial thanks to neighbors and friends for the donation of cakes and flowers. Injured In Fall Her Aiany McHenry friends, will be pained to learn that Mrs. Gus Walters of Woodstock is confined to her home, suffering from the effects of three broken ribs and several bruises about her head and shoulders, sustained when she accidentally fell from a porch at her home at the county seat. Her friends sincerely hope for a we didn't have any a board, so we sta and the ship was the time, and we mast for awhile, managed to get away side. Then the stay tends from the top of the the stern of the quarter and caught us right over and I thought sure the gone, but Mr. Henderson, the swain, jumped up and before the wit had time to tighten, grabbed it gave it wrench that took the wire over the stern, but also made him lose his balance and fall into the water. But he got right in again and we worked hard so as to miss the suction that was sure to follow when the ship went under. We didn't get far when she went under, bottom side up and turned completely over. Say, you ough to have heard that ship's crew cheer when she went under. They cheered and then sang the "Star Spangled Banner" and it really looked more like a picnic th^i a disaster, ex­ cept for a few who couldn't swim or had the cramps and began to holler for help. Our dingy got filled up in no time and we. had to get out and find something £ls€ to Held onto. Alivu- der and I stayed together for a long time, but I was the best swimmmer and when I gave up a cushion from a captain's jig that we had found float-* ing round that would hold up a couple of men, I told him to stay and I'd swim over to the whale boat that waa about 300 yards away. We gave.it to a sailor who had the cramps and was calling out in his misery. When I got to the whale boat I stayed with it quite awhile, because I was start­ ing to get tired, but I couldn't get in because it was crowded with all it could carry, and when I saw a couple of fellows on a raft of boards they had picked up I went over with them and stayed until the Collier Maiden, bead­ ed for Boston, picked us up about 4:10 p. m. I had been in the water most of the time since 11:25 a. m., when the San Diego went down. She only stayed up about fifteen or eighteen minutes after she was truck by the torpedo. We had on 2900 tons of" coal when we left Portsmouth, New Hamp­ shire and a full cargo of storm. In fact we were loaded down for a three months' cruise, but well never take it. Well, that's my ship wreck story and just as it happened and I wouldn't have missed it for anything. It was the best excitement I've ever had and now all I want Uncle Sam to do is send me "over there." I'd like a little more excitement. Everything is lovely with me and I hope it's the same with you. As ewer, Your loving son, Walter h.

Rain Stops Ball Game The rain saved a picked teas' of this pi--cc another uvfwit Johns burg last Sunday afternoon, At the time that the contest was stopped by the storm the score stood. 4 to 0, and those who saw the game as far as it had gone are quite sure that the McHenry boys would have been forced to return home carrying with them the sting of defeat even if the rain had not interf erred. f . -Vv ii. : 4 Boy Scouts V{ 'j The Boy Scouts met at CRfe' Sehoor auditorium last Thursday evening.
