Geier, writes that he has been promoted and is now a I corporal. • j A number of the McHenry hoys i now in training at Camp Grant *nd | who are members of the Blackhawk I division, the 86th, are expecting to i leave for "somewhere" in the very near future. Mr. and Mrs. Henry Degen of this village have recently received field service cards from their son, Michael, showing that he is now in the fight­ ing lines. The postals bring the good tidings that he is well. "Happy" Weber, son Of Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Weber of this village, has been right in the thick of the fight "over there" for some time past. He will have some interesting tales to relate on his return home. A large picture of the members of the company in which his son, Charles, is enrolled is now conspicu­ ously displayed by Jos. J. Mertes at his Pistakee Bay resort. There are three or four others from McHenry on the picture. A number of tbe McHenry boys, who have been in training at Camp Fremont, Calif., during the past few months, are now packed up and ready to move. Rumors about the camp are to the effect that they will be shipped to Siberia. According to news from overseas, many of the McHenry county boys, who are members of the Prairie di­ vision and who received their train­ ing at Camp Logan, Houston, Texas, are now in the thick of the fight. Several McHenry boys are members of this division. •icHenry is now represented at the Great Lakes Naval Training station by five young men, as follows: Ralph arid Glenn Van Natta, Alford Bons- lett, Fred Nickels and Edward Knox. All are volunteers and are perfectly satisfied with the manner in which Uncle Sammie is treating them. We are sorry to learn that Anton Schneider, son of Mrs. Elizabeth Schneider of this village, has spent considerable time in the hospital at Camp Fremont, Calif., since he left McHenry a few months ago. His mafty friends here trust to soon learn that he has fully recovered from his spell of illness. Earl Whiting, Frank Justen and Arthur Smith are still in training at Camp Sheridan, Ala. Recent letters from the boys, are to the effect that they are being given hard training, but the work becomes lighter to them as time goes on. Evidently they are now quite thoroly hardened to the duties of the American soldier. Word has been received from the boys who have been attending the army schools at Kansas City, stating that they expect to be shipped to some eastern training camp, where they will complete their training for over­ seas service. The McHenry boys who were enrolled in Kansas City schools are John Bolger, Ray Page and Walter Conway. Jay Comiskey of Woodstock, who is also favorably known in this village, has also been in training in Chat city. Corporal Percy Lodtz, a marine, writes his father, John D. Lodtz, of this village, that he is getting ready for actual service either in- France or Siberia. Percy has made quite a number of trips across the ocean and has gone thru the excitement of chas­ ing German sub-marines on various occasions, but thus far has not seen any shore service. However, he ex­ pects to be in the real fight within a short time. Percy .has the proper spirit and we are sure that he will give a good account of himself when once in real action.

ADDITIONAL PERSONALS Miss Elizabeth Freund fcpent Sun­ day with Mrs. Vera Schmitt at Johnsr burg. E. P. Diets of Chicago was enter­ tained in the home of Mrs. C. Brefeld Sunday. ̂ bne' of 1^ie most irtportant offices to be filled at the election this fall is that of treasurer of McHenry county. This office has been ably filled in the past years, this county always having selected front* among her most capable citizens for this responsible position During the last session of the state legislature a law was placed on the statute books which abolishes the of­ fice of township collector and places' that work hereafter under the juris­ diction of the county treasurer. Thus that office is now not only the deposi­ tory for the county's money, but its incumbent must attend to all of the details of all tax collections as well. In addition the treasurer is super­ visor of assessments, all of which duties making the office of treasurer very important to every taxpayer in the county. In referring to the candidacy of William S. McConnell' for the office of county treasurer, attention should be called to the fact that he has here­ tofore held this office for one term, and is therefore equipped by exper­ ience and knowledge of its duties to give the taxpayers capable service. He has also served one term as postmaster at Woodstock, as well as several terms as highway commis­ sioner and supervisor of Dorr town­ ship. Mr. McConnell is now serving as food administrator for McHenry county, a war time service which he is rendering without compensation. The latter office is of great im­ portance in the eyes of the govern­ ment. In these days of stress and sacrifice the people are asked to save and serve, and many regulations are y in force which are intended to further *' * the cause of Americanism in the pvtt-l f ent great world struggle. In appointing Mr. McConnell as^ food administrator, a very happy se­ lection was made. He, is tempera- f mentally fitted in every way to meet the requirements of the position.^ While he will require a rigid enforce­ ment of the food regulations as pro- mulgated by the government, at the? same time he will protect the people -. against petty annoyances which might easily be imposed by some persons not so fully equipped for this particu­ lar office. ^ To. illustrate, when the government recently commanded that all the wheat in the county should be brought to market, Mr. McConnell and-his assis­ tants thruout the county secured a strict compliance with the order, but nowhere did they find it necessary to use harsh methods or make its en­ forcement a burden for the public. Mr. McConnell is intensely patriotic. He has a son in the service now'in France. No matter whether the peo­ ple of McHenry county elect htm to the office of county treasurer or not, he will continue to give such time and ' service without pay as Uncle Sam may require. Except for this war service, however, he has no business engagements and if elected as county treasurer he promises to give to the duties of that office his undivided per­ sonal attention. Adv.
