Hebron correspondent to Harvard Herald: A number of the dairy farm­ ers in the territory north of Hebron ire facing what appears to be a heavy loss by the failure of the milk firm in Chicago to whom the dairymen have been shipping milk. It is re­ ported that at least $5,000 is owed to the farmers who shipped their milk at the stations along the C. M. & St. Paul railway, and that $400 is the least any of the shippers will lose if nothing can be realised from the as­ sets of the city firm. Some of the dairymen concerned have been in Chi­ cago within the past week in an ef­ fort to find a way to recover at least jwrt of their loss, but as yet nothing definite has developed. It is a most unfortunate state of affairs that Makes it possible for the dairymen to incur such heavy losses as has been tile case several times in this dairy dis­ trict- Last year the Hebron prairie farmers were heavy losers when Pet­ erson Bros, failed and closed thfir filant atvBelden station. THE SUPREME SACRIFICE Brother of Mrs. E. H. WinfteM la Killed In Action Corporal Thomas Perry Farley, brother of Mrs. E. H. Winfield of this village, paid the supreme sacrifice that we may live and enjoy that lib­ erty for which our noble young men are now fighting in far-away Flanders fields. The sad message was received by Mrs. Winfield last Friday morning, his death occurring on Sept. 27, the same day that a letter was received by her from her brother. While J IT . Farley is not even known in McHenry, our people consider h,iin one of our boys and their hearts go out to those most deeply bereaved, while at the same time we bow our heads in deep reverence to him and the cause forwhich he laid down his life. . s The letter, written by him and re­ ceived by his sister here on the day of his death, is reproduced below: France, Aug. 10, 1918. Dearest Little Sister--Just a few lines to say I-am fine and hope this finds you all the same. It is sure some fine day here and just the kind for a good old fashioned sleep, and after this little note is finished that is what I am going to do. This letter was dated yesterday, so you see this is Sunday instead of Saturday. Just came back from the front line early Saturday morning. Was pretty tired so did not finish it then. Sis dear, I am going to enclose some other letters in the big mailing en­ velope •which we get so if they come to you please mail them for me; if you don't get any with this one you will know that they were mailed by the censor, so you need not worry. Only sometimes the big envelope goes straight thru. And Sis, for the love of Mike, don't you let mother know that I have been any where near the front, for she would worry * herself sick. You un­ derstand, tell he* f am fine or any­ thing else. Gee, one sees gnough new things here every day to keep him interested, somthing new every day. Every­ where you look it is a new bunch of Americans. There is one awful big bunch here, but don't see anyone whom I know. Perhaps I will after we are here a little while longer. .Will let you know. Now, Sis, for heaven's sake write. My address is Corp. Tom Farley, Co. B, 320th Inf., American E. F., via N. Y. You see I had a promotion to cor­ poral in this man's army. "Going up." Well, tell Ell, Jr., that Unce Tom thinks of him very often and would like to see him. Also would like to see you and Ell, Sr. Hope he is well. Tell him I would like to hear from him. I will ring off for now, but will write again sooA. Dont wait to hear from me each time, write whenever you can, I will get it. Say anything you want, for your letters are not cen­ sored, only mine are. Let me. know how mother is. Goodbye and good luck. Will see you on my return. Al­ ways your loving brother, Tom. Is Recovering Frftnfc Nimsgern, who resides pear Solon Mills, called at this office one day last week. Mr. Nimsgtern is re­ covering from a very painful accident which befell him about a month ago and is pow able to get about with the aid of a pair of crutches. The acci­ dent occurred while he, with other workmen, were engaged in moving a big tractor from the Stephen FreUnd tappi to the Joe Miller place near Spring Grove. He was walking along sids the moving tractor when he noticed a clamp was about to loosen. He reached in to adjust the clamp and in this manner his body was caught between the front wheel and the frame of the machine, with the result that his body was quite painfully squashed besides receiving a cracked hip bone. He was carried to a near-by house, where he remained several days be­ fore being able to be removed to his own home, to which he was confined for three weeks. • While the injury caused him many sleepless nights and much pain, he considers himself quite lucky as the accident could easily proven a fatal one.

August H. Kunzt MRS. GEO. CBESHBT DEAB PASSED AWAY AT CRYSTAL LAKE LAST FRIDAY Daughter of Mr. aipd Mrs. Geerge Meyers of This Villag# Victim ef Spanish Influenza Mrs. Geo. Chesmit, who was Miss Etta Meyers before her marriage, died at her home in Crystal Lake on Friday, October 18, 1918, at 5:30 p. my a victim of the prevailing epi­ demic, Spanish influenza. The deceased was born on May 28, 1897, and was only twenty-one years old at the time of her death. She was the fifth eldest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Meyers of this village and was born and raised here, whei'e she attended the public school. She was united in marriage to Geo. Chesnut at St. Patrick's church here by the Rev. Fr. Quinn on September 9. 1914. Two children were born to her, Arnold, aged three and Joyce, n^t quite two years old, both of whom she entrusted to the care of her mother at the hour of death. Death, no matter at what ag€>, brings a certain gloom and sadness with it, but youth claims more at­ tachment than old age, and the be­ reavement of this young mother from her fond husband and little ones, to whom she was so devotedly attached, is pathetic indeed and we can only say that "God's ways are mysterious." Mrs. Chesnut was blessed with a sweet disposition, perfectly happy with her home environments, and lived in strict observance of the teachings of the Catholic church and in her in­ nocence she answered the call of her savior with a resignation that was really wonderful for one so young. Mr. and Mrs. Chesnut resided at Elgin the first year after their mar­ riage, afterwards moving to Crystal Lake, where he holds a responsible position with the Public Service com­ pany. Just a week before her death she complained^of a cold and the fam­ ily physician was called, who pro­ nounced her case influenza, and in spite of the loving care given her she passed peacefully away on the above mentioned date. She was formerly a member of the Young Ladies' sodality of St. Pat­ rick's church here and her many young friends extend sympathy to the loved ones who are left to mourn her early demise.- , Mrs. Chesnut is survived by het parents', four sisters, Mrs. Ross Wheeler of Chicago, Mrs. William Marshall of Morton Grove and Misses Mary and Blanche Meyers of this village, and five brothers, Geo., Jr., of Elgin, Victor of West Chicago, Paul of Chicago and Phil and Marcel- lus of this place; all of whom attended the funeral except Paul, who was de­ tained at home«on account of illness in his family. The body of the deceased was brought to the parental home in this village on Saturday evening and the funeral was held from there on Mon­ day morning. Following orders given to close the church during this pre­ vailing epidemic, the remains were not taken to the church. Her pastor, Rev. Fr. McCormick, and Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's chlirch, were in attendance at the home and also at the grave, where they performed the usual service. She was laid to rest in St. Patrick's cemetery. The pall bearers were her brothers, George, Victor, Phil and Marcellus, and two brother-in-laws, Ross Wheeler and Wm. Marshall. Those from away who came to ex­ tend sympathy were Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Chesr.ut, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Brown and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Philipps, Wm. Philipps, Miss Pearl Dimond, Bud Roberts, George Lunden and Wayrie Bennett of Ma­ rengo; Mrs. Robert Lois of Rockford; Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Meyers, Jr., Mr., and Mrs. John Peterson and Mr. and Mrs. Jack Costello of Elgin; Mrs. Lawrence Broger, Mrs. Rena Oster- man, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lloyd and Miss Lottie Chesnut of Woodstock; Mrs. N. Allen of Crystal Lake; Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Marshall and children of Morton Grove; Victor Meyers of West Chicago and Mr. and Mrs. Ross Wheeler of Chicago. Brought Home For Burial The body of Edward Simon, .who passed away at his home in Crystal Lake Tuesday, was brought here for burial today. He was a victim of the much dreaded influenza and was thir- ty-nine years of age. He leaves a wife and two children to mourn his Ibss. His father, John Simon, and a brother, Walter," also survive him. His pas­ tor, Rev. Fr. McCormick, accompanied relatives and friends here and con­ ducted the services at the grave. Mr. Simon was born and raised in this village and McHenry friends ex­ tend sympathy to the bereaved ones. Moved to Chicago Mr. and Mrs. A. J. Potiliot have closed their home on Fox river and will make Chicago their home dur­ ing the winter months. Mr. PouKot has been employed in the city for the past year or more, spending !** week ends at his home here. ̂ < .. . ; • . ••• - BEAR IN MIND t No. 2 of the War lite Board: 'No publisher iaay cetliHMi subscriptions after date of ex­ piration, unless subscriptions aiid pai4?fe» ^Watch your label. , \ ' -M- WOMEN WHO REGISTERED Should Be Active* In. Present Home Emergency tftiie of distress a't home and abroad women who have regisered for paid or charitable services should be active. Cards are being looked up and girls and women urged to give whole-souled support to the govern­ ment in this epidemic. It would be magnificent to see the women in this community take hold and care for the sick and those in distress at home. Save for the trained nurse and a few other specialists. There is no need for women abroad. The place for our women is here, keeping the home fires burning. Many of the ladies have dropped every activity because the local Red Cross branch cannot buy yarn in open market to give out. Knitting for the soldiers is more than laudable. It is well worth while, but to drop other and necessary work which lies at our door in order to knit is to substitute senti­ ment for duty. To many women knitting is purely a mental anesthetic. It is easy and pleasant. It satisfies the desire to do something that aching anxiety to be of use, which for so many finds in knitting its only solu­ tion. Face this situation bravely. The poor must be fed and cared for and the sick tended. Let every woman show by word and act, that no matter what emergency, that you are standing sturdily behind the men who are fighting for their homes and our homes, and assist in this time of distress. NOVEMBER MILK PRICES Milk Producers Urged to Pay 1918 Dues at Once The price, as agreed with manufac­ turers and distributors and approved by the U. S. food administration, is $3.68 per cwt., delivered at country plants, for milk testing 3-5 per cent butter fat, with four cents a point added for milk testing above that standard and four cents a point de­ ducted for milk testing below that standard, and $2.79 per' eight gallon can delivered in Chicago. • These prices are higher, based upon feed value for 19,18, than $3.72 would have been based upon feed value for November, 1917. Therefore, we again call upon every milk producer in this district, Hwho has not paid his 1918 dues, to do so at once. Your milk board can see* no reason why all do not contribute their mite tor this great work, which has been accomplished during the last year. All receive the benefit; hence all should pay. While a great work has been done, there is much more to do, and if we are successful in working out future problems, we must be backed with a strong organization, equipped with sufficient funds to meet all emer­ gencies. Chas. L. Page,„Sec. A Sad Bereavement Violet Clare Kramer, twin baby of Mr. and Mrs. Goe. Kramer, passed away at their home near this village Tuesday evening, October 22, at 7:45 ! o'clock. The little one would have reached her second year had she lived until November 3. Shte had been ill ten days with Spanish influenza. The twin brother survives her. The funeral was held from the home this (Thurs­ day) afternoon, the Rev. A. Laufer of Woodstock conducting the services The parents have the sympathy of the entire community in their .sad be­ reavement. Services at St. Patrick's Sunday Improved health conditions have induced the local board of health to permit the opening of St. Patrick's church for public worship on next Sunday. Unless unforseen develop­ ments should occur masses will be celebrated at eight and ten o'clock for St. Patrick's congregation, conforming with the new standard time taking effect on Sunday morning.

I -- ' * V' ' T ' ; OifeMisulbed Its Quota ^ Thirty Thousand Dollars--McHenry 'Goes Over By About $27,000 Last Saturday night marked the closing of "the biggest single loan eyer floated in the world. This was the closing of our country's fourth liberty loan, in which our people exemplified their true 100 per cent American spirit by going "over the top" in raising the money for the $6,000,000,- 000 loan. Not only did the citizens of the United States raise the full quota, but they did even better than this,, and when all figures have been compiled the grand total will show that the six billion dollar mark was passed by at least one-half billion. In this great drive, like all other previous drives held in connection with the present war, McHenry town­ ship made a remarkable showing, this township leading all others in the en­ tire county. Our quota for the loan was $137,245 and we raised $169,600. What better proof of our loyalty and sincerity could our people possibly give to Uncle Sam? The writer, along with the other workers in the drive, is truly proud to live in such a community and we dare say that this same feeling of pride is also enjoyed by the good people of this township, whose co-operation made our splendid record a possibility. One week ago today the township of McHenry was still short several thousand dollars of reaching its quota. While the village of McHenry and its adjacent territory had made its full quota, the Johnsburg and Ringwood territories were still behind. Both of the committees representing these two sections sent word to McHenry asking that the county chairman extend them the use of his flying squadron for the purpose of assisting them "over the top." Their wishes were granted and the McHenry workers started out on a final clean-up of the township on Friday and before midnight last Sat­ urday night their duties had been completed and the reports that night showed that the entire township had gone over. While the McHenry committee was making the final rounds of the town­ ship, local workers were anything but asleep on the job, as the reports show that several thousand dollars in sub­ scriptions were taken in in McHenry on the last two days, thus putting Mc­ Henry township over- with about $30,000 to spare. McHenry county went over by $100,000. Every town in McHenry county over-subscribed its quota, as the following table will show: Quota Amt. Sub. Algonquin .$ Alden ...... Cary Crystal Lake Harvard .... Herbon ..... Huntley Johnsburjg Marengo ... McHenry ... Richmond .. Ringwood .. Spring Grove Union Woodstock .
