Allied flags, three rge American flags, six large canrito ticks and a large cross mounting the ite altar completed the decoration-, hich were planned and executed by e Sisters of St. Mary's parochial ool. A more beautiful spot eouM not ]}ave been chosen for the unusual and solemn event, Altho the day was .

We must fee patriots, for patriotism and re- 'Jlsrion work hand in hand. It is our ? $uty to be patriotic as well as to be „ teligious. We must uphold this glor- " ious democracy which was given to ..'-••jis by the patriots of "75, strengthened : "%y the heroes of 1812 and finally ' welded into a nation of brothers in We are all brothers and the m S "Csf jluty of each and everyone of us is a , patriotic duty. Brotherly love is the :• ' foundation of our patriotism, for with- *ut love we would not be welded into nation--one and inseparable." » " The climax of the orator's sermon Culminated in one point. He stated Jhat he would bring out only one point, which is a cause of this war find that is interference by another Ration in our sovereign rights. "We lire a sovereign nation and as such do liot take directions from any other. When another nation interferes in ur rights and tells us what color to t our ships and on what lanes ese ships should travel, then an Assertion of our rights is necessary. pJThis is what happened and our boys pfrt the front are fighting with their blood that these rights be obtained and . obtained forever." -• " ^ The splendid occasion was most ap­ propriately closed with Ij'he singing of the "Star Spangled Banner," which +\ Resounded from all throats. ^ The building committee, during the * mass, took up a basket collection for ' ^Lhe reconstruction fond, which * -.^mounted to over $150. f Thus McHenry'sH?rst field mass will go down in the history of the-village . j lis one of the most memorable events ever'witnessed in McHenry. - \ - , Millinery Store Cloae^j, ,r.

The build­ ing has been put in a sanitary condi­ tion, all floors paving been scrubbed and oiled, and all woodwork cleaned. The superintendent's office wil- be • open on Saturday afternoon from 1 to 3 o'clock for the purpose of interview­ ing those who are in doubt' about their standing or course of study. Any child that will be six years of age be­ fore January 1 may enter the begin­ ners' class in September. There will be no other first year class organized during the school year. All pupils should enter school the first day if possible. An especial appeal is being made at this time*by our president and influen­ tial men to the high school boys and girls to go on with their education. Look out for the false lure of the quick dollar. Business conditions are unusual now and wages are unusually high. They can't last. What will happen to the boy or girl who quits school now for work when the thous­ ands of men come back to these posi­ tion? There will be many young­ sters out of jobs. They may have to turn ditch diggers or street sweepers. Not so if you have continued in school. Never has our country needed edu­ cated men as it will need them after this war. The teaching corps will be as fol­ lows for the ensuing year: Primary grades, Pearl . Claxton; third and fourth, Eleanor Phalin; fourth and fifth, Fanny Granger; sixth and sev­ enth, Mary Bonslett; seventh and eighth, Mrs. Richard T. Wray. High school--Marjorie Gurnett, music and English; Dora C. Kenney, Latin and mathematics; Blanche Pryor, history and commercial; A. E. Nye, science. Following is a first 'prize letter on "Why I Am Going Back to School" by a high school boy from Nebraska: "I am going back to school this fall because it is my patriotic duty. We are at war, a war that is taking all our young men who have completed or soon would have completed their edu­ cation. This leaves the business at home to be done by the older and the younger men. Therefore it is my pa­ triotic duty to get all the education I can before' my country needs me. When the call comes for me, I will go gladly and, with my higher education, will be of more military value than if I had enlisted early. Our president has asked, schoolboys to get all the education they can and do their war work after school hours. A request from the president has become a com­ mand now, so we have to obey. "It is my duty to civil life. If my country-does not need me for war 1 will- be of more value' in civil life as a technical man, if I complete my ed­ ucation. "It is a gain either way the ques tion is taken. If the education is not * \ used to advantage in the service, it .still has another chance to express it­ self profitably in the bupness or pro­ fessional world in peace times after the war. "It is my privilege. If some French school children can go to school in a cave without the modern conveniences, sometimes wearing gas masks to keep from being poisoned, I see no reason why a strong, healthy boy should stay away from school, where there is no such danger and where all the modern conveniences are provided, especially when such neglect would be crippling- the cour.trj' in years to come." " A t W i k t w o o d C o t t a g e A merry party of young ladies, chaperoned by. Mrs. Geo. W. Phalin of Tuscaloosa, Ala., are spending the week at the Wildwood cottage, Pis- takee Bay. From all reports a most delightful time is being enjoyed by all, who feel the time passing all too quickly. Those who composed the happy crowd are the Misses Tillie Robinson of Chicago, Evelyn Carey, Vera Doherty, Edna Phalin, Mary Burke, Marguerite, Genevieve, Flor­ ence and Frances Knox. Thomas Phalin of Alabama is also with his mother, spending the Week there. Ladies' Cemetery ^id Society The Ladies' Cemetery Aid society will meet with Mrs. T. J. Walsh Tues­ day afternoon, Sept. 8.

W. STENGER NAMED COUNTY CHAIRMAN Is Now Organizing Entire County For Fourth Liberty Loan Drive, Which Opens Sept. 28 ^ Once more C. W. Stenger, McHenry county chairman for the fourth lib­ erty loan drive, has put his heart and soul into the work of organizing forces thruout the entire county in preparation of the coming liberty loan drive. In recognition of the excellent rec­ ords established in the previous drives, our local townsman has again been named as the chairman for Mc­ Henry county and while it was Mr. Stenger's wish that the honor go to some other town the Seventh Federal Reserve bank officers of Chicago just insisted that Mr. Stenger act in this important capacity once more and being of that progressive and patriotic type Carl just couldnt refuse them, so has set out to make the coming drive one of the biggest and most successful ever put over in our county. His work of organization has already taken him to every city, village, ham­ let and country district in the county and reports from him are to the effect that the county organization for the coming drive is already at < the point of perfection and, judging from the co-operation that has already been extended him, it looks as if the com­ ing loan will "go over the top" in even a shorter space of time than it took to put over the previous loan. Here in McHenry township Mr. Stenger has already named some of the men. who are to take the initiative in the drive. Postmaster T. J. Walsh, who has made such a splendid town­ ship chairman in past drives, will again occupy the /same responsible position, while W. /F. Vogt, the enter­ prising West Side druggist, has ac­ cepted the village chairmanship. In the Ringwood district H. W. Allen will act as chairman, while Alfred De- brecht will act in a like capacilgr in the Johnsburg district. The various chairmen are now nam­ ing their various committees and mak­ ing final arrangements for the open­ ing of the drive, which begins on Sat­ urday, Sept. 28, and closes on October- 19. To make the work of the solicitors an easier task than ever before the county chairman has caused to be printed a set of estimate cards, which will be used thruout the entire county. These cards will bear the names of every resident in county who is ex­ pected to subscribe, together with the amounts subscribed in the three pre­ vious loans and an estimate as to what each one should subscribe this time. An estimate committee will be named in each district and it will be up to them to fill out the cards ac­ cording to tiie very best of then- knowledge. In most instances this committee will have the amounts subscribed in previous drives to guide them in mak­ ing out the estimates, which should be as accurate as it is possible to make them. The various chairmen of McHenry township will hold their committee meetings in plenty of time so as to have the machine in complete work­ ing order on the morning of Sept. 28. ~A Jolly Time ~ Twenty young ladies of this village enjoyed a boat trip to Mertes' hotel of this week, where a few hours were spent at dancing, followed by refresh­ ments. A Kazoo orchestra, composed of some of the young ladies who made the trip, furnished music enroute as well as for the dancing and to «ky the least their music made a big hit. At late hour, after a trip around the bay, the homeward journey was start­ ed. It was a beautiful moonlight night and the trip home was enjoyed veh more than the earlier hours of the evening. The excursion boat "Alice," wi@» Capt. William Koeppe at the helm, carried the , pleasure- seekers. Those who composed the gay party were: Mesdames Clara Starritt and Harry Alexander; Misses Trace Barbian, Clara Miller, Lena Stoffel, Mayme Ibsh, Esther Matson, Bertha and Elsie Wolff, Martha Schlosser, -Julia and Lenore Freund, Fannie Granger, Irene Harruff, Elola Boyle, Kathryn Buch, Marie Zimmer­ man* Annabel Heimer, Anna Frisby and Kathryn Burks. f Moved to Chicago We are in receipt of a post canhd from Geo. B. Freund, a former Mc­ Henry ite, asking us to change the address of his Plaindealer from Wood­ stock to 218 E. 49th St., Chicago, in which city he is now employed. He and his brother, Albert, were engaged in the contracting and building busi­ ness at Woodstock, bi^t on account of the latter being called to the colors the firm was dissolved. Social Wheel The Social Wheel will b* enter­ tained in the home of Mrs. John F. Miller, Rosedale, on Thursday after­ noon, Sept 5. Mrs. J. C. Holly, Pres. Mrs. T. J. Walsh J*' .* in common with all other publica­ tions The Plaindealer will give to the war industries board that full meas­ ure of co-operation which we have given every other department of the government in its conduct of the war and in meeting war problems, and thus, beginning with next week's issua we are going to comply strictly to the new order to reduce our output fifteen per rants. This means that our subscription list must be cut down and to give each and every one of our subscribers an equal opportunity to receive The Plaindealer as in tfee past we wish to give notice that every subscriber who will be found in arrears between now and our next day of publication will be taken from our subscription list and the paper discontinued. The free list will also,, be eliminated. In going over our subscription list we find that there are no.w several4 hundred of our subscribers who are in arrears and to these we wish to state that unless their accounts are paid up between now and next Thursday, the paper will be stopped. We also find that we have a number who have been receiving the paper gratis.. All of these, with the exception or corres­ pondents, will be taken from the list unless subscription applications are received from them between how and next week. Thp war has hit the publications of the country just as hard and harder than any other industry, but we are sure that every publisher is willing to abide with any and all rulings that may be made for them. On July first, it will be remembered, the in­ crease of postal rates and the special tax on advertisements took place. The Plaindealer complied with the ruling right from the very off-set and will also comply with the request that we reduce our out-put fifteen per cent. In complying with the various or­ ders it is up to the publisher to make up for the deficiency and, as a natural result of this, the publisher of The Plaindealer has been studying for some time past as to how to operate our business on a successful basis under the new condition and have finally come to the conclusion that there is but one way out of it and that is to advance the price of sub­ scription to $2.00 per year payable strictly in advance. So beginning October 1, 1918, the subscription price of The Plaindealer will be $2.00, cash in advance. From now Until October 1 the old price of $1.50 will prevail and it is up to our subscribers to pay now and thus safe 50 cents. Look at the label on your paper, which tells you when your subscrip­ tion expires, then call at this office or send us your postal money order or check. You have but one month more to subscribe at the old price, so do not let the opportunity escape you, and while the matter is still fresh in your nrind let us give you a receipt for one or more years' subscription to your home paper.

Accident Occurred Shortly After Mid­ night Last Saturday Morning--Male Companion With Her at the Time Pistakee bay claimed its season's first victim shortly after midnight last Saturday morning, when the cap­ sizing of a row boat cost Miss Cath­ erine Mulqueen, a domestic, her life. Just how the accident occurred will probably never be known as her male companion, who was with her at the time of the drowning, could not re­ member a thing about lit when called in as a witness at the inquest. According to the testimony that was brought out at the inquest held at the Oak Park hotel on Saturday morn­ ing, the unfortunate victim of the sad accident called up J. Peterson, a re- sorter on the east shore of Pistakee bay, and asked him to take her out for a boat ride. Shortly after the two, accompanied by * Miss Sullivan, also a resorter, started on a ride around the bay and, according to the testi­ mony of Miss Sullivan, the three stopped at various places about the Bay to partake of intoxicating liquors. About the midnight hour it was decided to return, home, but for some reason, better known to herself, Miss Sullivan, instead of returning in the same boat with Peterson and Miss Mulqueen, was rowed across the lake by a Mr. Erickson. The capsizing <of the boat occurred somwhere near the center of the bay somewhere'near the center of the bay traeted a number of the cesorters. I. Pike, brother of Noah H. Pike, heard the alarm and, garbed in his sleep­ ing attire, rushed to the shore and into a row boat, while at*the same time a motor boat, manned vby em­ ployes at the Oak Park hotel, left the pier in answer to the call for help. Mr. Pike was the first to reach the scene, as the motor boat had missed the couple. He found the young man clinging to the side of the capsized boat and assisted him into his own boat and then started a search for the young lady. She was found a few moments later underneath the boat. She was picked up and hastily rowed to shore, where efforts to save her were made in Vain. From the description of the body at th time when Mr. Pike found her, it looks to us as if the young lady had her feet underneath the seat on which she was sitting at the time of the ac­ cident and* when the boat turned over she was unable to extricate herself. However, this testimony was not brought out at the inquest, so it's merely a matter of conjecture. Miss Mulq\ieen was a domestic, we are informed, and had been employed at the Baldi resort on the east shore of the bay near the old Mineral Springs hotel. The inquest took place at th£ Oak Park hotel at Pistakee Bay on Satur­ day morning . and was in charge of Deputy Coroner Dr. C. H. Fegers of this village. The jury was composed of Dr. D. G. Wells, foreman; Wm. Simes, Jack Walsh, William Adams, William Buenzow and Nick Pitzen and after hearing all testimony they , re-, turned a verdict of accidental drown­ ing. The body was shipped to Chicago Saturday afternoon for burial. Opening of St. Mary's School St. Mary's parochial school begins/ Tuesday. Monday morning is enroll­ ing day. The afternoon will be free. Sister Sydia, who is in charge of the school, is an experienced teacher and has already made a host of friends. She " •!! tcach the 7th ar.d 3th grades, Sister Corsica the 5th and 8th grades, Sister Lota the 3rd and 4th grades and Sister Josetta the primary grades. St. Mary's parochial school enjoys the reputation of very high standards in school work. Discipline is an impor­ tant factor in the education of the child. The teaching and practice of religion is a vital point upon which much depends in future life. The school sisters appeal to every Cath­ olic family to send their children re­ gardless of which parish they belong. All are welcome to enjoy the advan­ tages of a thoro Catholic school. For the present school rates will remain the same. Books cope to the children at cost as in previous years. Accom­ modations are better than ever. The rooms are clean and cozy and the haling will be done by steam. Will Go to Canada Pvt. Harry B. Alexander of Gamp Grant, Rockford, spent Sunday with his wife in this village. Mr. Alex­ ander expects to leave within a few days for Toronto, Cap., where the first battalion of the 343rd infantry, of which he is a member, will repre­ sent the U. S. at the Canadian war ex­ position to be held from Sept. 3 to 10. Millinery Parlors Closed During the period of the war my millinery parlors will be closed as I have accepted a position with the gov­ ernment for that time. I wish to thank the public for its splendid pat ronage I enjoyed while in business. L. Pouse. •***'! - . f n t - Infant Loses Life Near ten Tuesday Evening Turning around to hand someone in the rear seat his hat, Ben H. Stilling, a prosperous young farmer residing northeast of Ringwood, momentarily lost control ..of the machine he was driving and went into a ditch near Ladd's corners shortly after nine o'clock on Tuesday evening of this week, with the result that the car turned completely over, killing the in­ fant son of the driver and causing slight injuries to the others who were in the car at the time. Mr. and Mrs. .Stilling! and their three children, accompanied by the Misses Gertrude mid Margaret Freund of this place and Miss Anna Alten- berger of Chicago, were on their way to Ringwood when the sad accident occurred. Mr. Stilling was at the wheel with his wife sitting at his side and in her arms she held the infant which lost its life in the mishap. After the crash came the women folks were the first to extricate them­ selves, while Mr. Stilling and the un­ fortunate child were pinned beneath the car. The women, using every ounce of strength that they possessed, lifted the car so that the driver could free himself.. , The child, which lay be­ side him, was picked up and carried into the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob F. Justen, who reside near the place where the accident took place. Dr. Hepburn of Ringwood was called into attendance, but in spite of his best efforts the child was so badly injured that it passed away within an hour after the accident. The mother cannot explain- how sha escaped being crushed along with the child and cannot remember just how she was able to free herself and not safe the child. Needless to say the parents are grief stricken over the sad misfortune that has befallen them and the sincere sympathy of their host of relatives and friends goes out to them. , The funeral will take place at the Johnsburg Catholic church at 9:30 o'clock on Friday morning of this week. MICHAEL DEGEN WOUNDED Telegrani Received By His Parents Here Last Thursday Michael Degen, son of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Degen of this village, was wounded in action on July 30. A telegram conveying this sad ^mas­ sage was received by the parents last Thursday afternoon. The message did not state how seriously the young man had been injured, but his many friends hope for the best. His grief-stricken parents are anxiously awaiting further word and hoping that thtey may receive a leter from their son soon. , Michael Degen was among the first of McHenry county's young men to leave for the training camp, he being among the contingent which left Woodstock for Camp Grant on Sept. 22, 1917. He qualified as a sharp­ shooter after only a few months of training and, according to our best information, he had been at the front several weeks previous to his injury. Outside of a few field service cards the parents have not heard from their son since his arrival acroBS tfe* waters. ' Church to lje Rebuilt After a long suspense and delay, due to the difficulty in drawing and estimates, the Rt. Rev. Bishop has authorized the building committee to proceed at once with the reconstruc­ tion of St. Mary's church. The present high prices of materials and the late season make an enlarge­ ment of the'church inadvisable at this time. Plans call for a larger gallery, however, and several accommodations will be added which were missing in the old, church. Stephen H. Freund says he will rush the job as fast as possible and it may be possible that the congregation will be in the new church by Christmas." If the people come to the front with their subscrip­ tions, all materials (tan be ordered and there will be less delay. . * The completion of the church will largely depend on this. The building committee respectfully asks all sup­ porters to pay up what they have signed for, all or in part, as quickly as possible. , Bldg. Com. Resort Season Closes This is the last week of the sum­ mer resort season and many of the re- sorters will return to their winter homes between now and next Monday morning. The season, in spite of conditions, was a successful one, very few of the cottages along the river or lakes being idle at any time. Move Into New Quarters The office equipment at the Borden factory in this village has been moved into the new quarters, with which the office help is very much pleased. The change was made a week ago Satur­ day and, altho there are still more im­ provements to be made with the new quarters, the change is greatly appre­ ciated by everyone concepxtd. Join the Bed Gran. Chicago Jaelries Will Abo Give ing and Heavy Weight Lifting Ex- . hibition-May Bring Machine Goo Next Sunday afternoon there will be witnessed another gala event in this village, when a Jackie band from the Great Lake Naval Training sta­ tion will appear here for a concert. . 'Final arrangements for the event were Completed this week and with favorable weather conditions our vil­ lage should entertain the largest crowd of visitors that has been within our borders in a long, long time. According to plans the musicians will leave the Great Lakes promptly at 12:30 o'clock and on their arrival in McHenry will be taken direct to the village park, where the members of Riverview camp, R. N. A., will serve them with a bountiful dinner. The concert will begin at two o'clock or shortly thereafter. This event has been made possible thru the efforts of Rev. Edward Ber­ thold, Clarence F. Hoy and Richard B. Walsh, together with the gentlemen who solicited the funds with which to defray the expense of bringing the Jackies to McHenry and those who so willingly and generously contributed to this fund. Besides the Jackie band, eleven Jackies from the municipal pier, Chi­ cago, are also expected to be present, who will put on an exhibition of boat­ ing and heavy lifting. An effort & al­ so being made to have them bring to McHenry one of their machine guns and if the committee is successful in this the gun will be placed on exhibi­ tion at the park during the afternoon. There are quite a number of people who have never seen a machine gun and for this reason the committee fig­ ures that &uch an exhibit here would be quite an attraction. During the progress of the concert thirty young ladies of the village will pass among the assemblage with tags and the money obtained thru thin source will be turned -over into the tubaceo fund and the boys in ser­ vice will be given the direct The concert is being extensively vertised and all that is now ne to bring a record-breaking crowd to McHenry on that day is good weather. McHenry extends a hearty welcome to the Jackies and out-of-town people to be our guests on this day. SINGERS HEARTILY GREETED Packed House to s«»iw«ju Program Saturday The Casino famous male chor^i of> Chicago, which appeared in one of its popular concerts at the Central opera house last Saturday evening, was met with a hearty cheer by the big audi­ ence as they entered the hall. One of the largest audiences that has ever gathered at a like event was present to listen to the splendid pro­ gram, every number of which received a loud and long applause of th* a9- preciative audience. That the voices were well trained, evidencing a masterly leadership, goes without saying and we dare say that everyone present was well repaid -fair; turning out. ' The numbers by Mrs. Lampe and Miss Marie Moritz were well received as was the violinist, Mr. Paul Reiche. We are sorry that space will not allow us to give each and every num­ ber the mention that it deserves, but suffice it to say that the entertain­ ment was far beyond our foadait expectations. McHenry people will welcome the opportunity to listen to these splendid vocalists again some time in the futurfb * -i It '-MM Sabel Dead . • John Sabel passed away at his late home at 5024 Argyle street, Chicago, Sunday afternoon, following a short illness.
