However, they will be held in readiness for any emergency that may arise. Arthur Faehnel, who during the past few. months has been employed at the E.

Miss Aileen O'Reilly, one of tbe operators at the local exchange of the Chicago Telephone company, was pressed into service at the Barrington exchange last week, occasioned thru the illness of three of the operators in that village. The West McHenry mill still con-(across the waters, tinues a busy place. It is nothing un­ common to see farmers at the place who have driven all the way from fifteen to twenty-five miles to have their grain ground into flour. A day and night shift is now employed there. A number of McHenry automobile owners used their cars last Sunday when it was absolutely unnecessary. Hunters were seen returning home in automobiles after dark on Sunday evening. This is anything but in keep­ ing with the spirit of the times and unpatriotic to say the least. Workmen at St. Mary's church building have made very satisfactory progress ^during the past week and with favorable weather the roof should be completed within the next few weeks. A number of the high school boys are assisting in the work tikis. week. A message to Miss Mary Burke of this village announces the death of her uncle, Robert J. Burke, aged forty years, who died at his home in the west. He has many friends in this. community, where he spent most of his boyhood. His parental home was. at Elgin. - . • E. H.

Martin B. Schmitt is in receipt of a letter from John L. May, who is now "over there." He speaks of his trip across and tells of how the boys are entertained while on their way over. The time was passed in reading, play­ ing checkers and cards, while a mov­ ing picture show and boxing matches assisted in making the time pass quickly. E. M. Geier is in receipt of another letter from Thos. Curtis, a cigarmaker at one time employed by Barbian Bros. After leaving McHenry Tom attempted to join the American army, but was turned down. He then crossed the border into Canada, where he joined the Canadi&n army, and is now on active duty somewhere in France. Gerald Carey, assistant cashier at the West McHenry State bank, and Walter Gorman,, clerk at the Park ho­ tel, left Tuesday morning of this week of Northwestern University, Evan- ston, where they have enlisted in the radio corps. Both are most exem- pliary young men, who have the best wishes of their many friends here fo» success. John Unti, brother to Chas. Unti, the McHenry ice cream manufacturer, has been quite seriously ill at Camp Grant. He was taken down last week with Spanish influenza, which devel­ oped into pneumonia. Late reports from his bedside are to the effect that he has a good chance for recovery. Mr. Unti has been in camp during the past few months. Edward Bonslett, son of Mr, and Mrs. Wm. Bonslett of this village, was selected as one of forty-eight young men from Northwestern University to attend the officers' training camp at Camp' Grant and left for that place last Wednesday.' The very best wishes for his success from his many friends in this village accompanied, him to the camp= C. G. Burkhartsmeier of Chicago, who is well known to many of The Plaindealer readers, and whose wife was formerly Miss Laura Barbian of this village, left last Friday for Wash­ ington Barracks, D. C., where he has enlisted with the production depart­ ment of the air service. His wife ex­ pects to join him in Washington settle time in the near future. JMartin E. Conway, better known to his young friends as "Kelly," went to Chicago Monday, where he enlisted in the tanl^ service and is now subject to call, which he expects to receive with­ in the next week or two.% Mr. Con­ way registered with the first call last year, but received a deferred classifi­ cation on agricultural claims. "Kelly" says that he is now ready and will give Uncle Sam the very best there is in him. Private John L. May, member of the field remount squadron 313f, writes from somewhere in France that he is now at a rest camp after a fine trip "This surely is a whole lot different than in the U. S. Everything seemed so strange and queer at first, but am getting used to it," he writes. He adds further that he is able to pick up a few words of French, but counting the French money seems to get his goat. He al­ so will be pleased to heinr from old McHenry friends. In the casualty .list in the metropol­ itan papers on Wednesday of last 'week there appeared the name of Irenus Feffer as seriously wounded. However, upon investigation we are told that Mr. Fetter's injuries were received on July 20 and that he has since fully recovered and rejoined his company in the trenches. The last letter received by his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Emil Feffer, was dated July 25 and in this he told of getting along fine and that he expected to be sent td, his company within a week. - .. Bear in mind that the McHenry Council, Knights of Columbus, is Wuuiiig tliv lioiuc paper tc u!! of its members. now .in service. If you happen to know of any Knight who is not receiving a paper thru this source you will confer the McHenry council a favor by notifying Prof. A. E. Nye. Also we wish to again give notice that we want to keep posted on the very latest * addresses of these boys. Any time a change of address is made kindly notify The Plaindealer, thus insuring the paper to reach the boys without interruption. B. Schmitt, the West Side artist, is in receipt of a Hei- service. Since reaching France Mr. Heimer has been promoted and is noW serv­ ing his country in the capacity of sergeant. In his letter he speaks very highly of the treatment which he is [receiving at the hands of his Uncle Sam, the fine camp, good eats and sleeping quarters. In short, his mis sive is one of the most cheery we have had the pleasure of reading in a long time. Mr. Heimer's address is Sergt. E. J. Heimer, Headquarters Co., Q. M. C., 323 Labor Battalion, A.

Wl Freund, the West Side clothier, is once more asking the vot­ ers of this, the ^eighth district, to send him to Springfield as a repre­ sentative in the general assembly. Mr. Freund has been making a quiet campaign among his friends and sup­ porters during the. past three weeks or since the primary, a£ which time a number of his Crystal Lake friends saw fit to t£ive him votes enough to make him a nominee for the office he now seeks at the hands of the voters of this district. , No sooner had Mr. Freund been fficially notified of his nomination be­ fore he started to get busy in lining up his friends, on whom he relies to bring him the much coveted office. While he is so situated at the present time that he cannot get out to call ort all the voters personally, he has been using the,mails to a very good advan­ tage and during the past two weeks' alone he has mailed out thousands of appeals to the voters of the district. It will be remembered that our enterprising townsman made a run for the same office about four years ago, at which time he was opposed by none other than Thos. Graham of Ingleside, the man he hopes to defeat at the coming fall election to be held on Nov, 5. It will be remembered that the race between these two men was very close-one in 1914. In fact, first reports showed the McHenry man to be in the lead and it wasn't until day or two after the primary that it could be ascertained which of the two had won the nomination* Altho the time i? short for a thord* canvass, Mr. Freund is receiving en­ couragement from every part of the district and he feels that he has an even chance with *his opponent at the polls on election day. ^ !
