SCHREINEk Office in Bank Building Telephone M-W Thursday, Oct. 31, 1918 As a result of instructions from ad­ ministrative headquarters, the com­ munity labor board of this district is making a survey of the variou^ man­ ufacturing1 plants in the northern half of Kane county and McHenry county to determine those plants in .which women can be used to replace men. As soon as the. list of these jobs has been approved by the federal director of th U. S. employment service and the state advisory board, it will be made public. This plan undertaken by the U. S. employment service is calculated to bring into war work large numbers of men now engaged in non-essential em­ ployment. Particular attention will be focused on men who are working at jobs that women might be doing. Dur­ ing the war few men will want to con­ tinue at a woman's job. Those who do so will be confessed industrial slackers. It cannot be too strongly empha­ sized that our country is facing a most serious situation with regard to labor supply. Proper uses of the reserve of women workers must be one of the principal weapons in overcoming the present labor shortage. Beyond tak­ ing positions which will release men ; for war work, women must in the near . future take over many phases of actual war production. The women of America and especially the women who have never worked must come to realize that they can serve their country in no better way than by set­ ting into the industrial army. As the calls for workers are re­ ceived at the U. S. employment office at Elgin, each plant will be asked to release a proportionate number of its men employes and put women in their places. Women who desire to take posi­ tions made vacant by the men thus released can obtain application blanks from the postmasters of this village. These blanks should be filled out in full and sent to the U. S. Employment Service. 208 Chicago St., Elgin, 111.

Misses Irene and Martha May of Woodstock were Sunday guests of their patents, Mr. and Mrs. Martin May. certain few exceptions. This leads to a patchwork of legislation in mat­ ters to apply to both Chicago and the country. There is a continual effort to evade the spirit of this con­ stitutional method of enacting legis­ lation as very little applies similarly to Chicago and the country. There­ fore many acts are held unconstitu­ tional and the courts are kept busy passing upon the constitutionality of legislative acts. There has been no senatorial ap­ portionment now for eighteen years, because to follow the present consti­ tution would require giving Chicago three more districts and taking them away from the state at large. A new basis of representation should be fixed so that the country and city would both be protected. There should be a new method of taxation in Illinois, so that the large incomes can be compelled to pay a greater proportion of our taxes and the brunt do not fall upon the home owners and the farms. The system of courts can be much improved and unified, and a constitu­ tion more in keeping with the spirit of 1918 adopted than the one which was made for the times of 1870.

From Lieut. A. H. Pome Hie following notations, taken from recent letters written by Lieut. A. H. Pouse to his mother here, will be of interest to his many friends: France, Sept. 22, 1918. llear Mother and All--Another Sun­ day and nothing to do as the weather is not nice enough and the day is long when all we can do is to sit on our bunks, sleep, read or chew the rag, but we will soon be where the big show is going on and we are all anxious to go. It's pretty quiet in this locality. The other day I had to land in a hay field, no harm done. When we move I hope I'll be in a place where I can stay awhile. I don't m6re than get my place fixed up with shelves and nails and made as com­ fortable as possible when it's move again.' I am among the first, few'to leave soon. Another one of the bunch left the aii%~so now out of twenty-eight officers that came with me there are only six left. It is funny how this game effects different people. It seems a man has to be constituted just right to make a go of it. It's funny, but I've felt no sensation of fear, no matter how high I have been or how stormy,1 and if a fellow can keep his head it's a whole lot. The air is supposed to be hard on a fel­ low's nerves, but so far I have not minded it at all. |t won't be long now before I'll be going over Ger­ many and hope to be able to write some interesting letters. Expect to be in Paris a couple of days. Send me- your and Lill's hand measure and some time when I havet the chance will get you each a pair of gloves. A fellow went up the- other day and didn't get back until next morn­ ing. I told him if he had been gone another hour he would have found his belongings divided amongst us. It is a standing joke if a fellow goes up and doesn't come back;, (we tell him before he goes up what we prefer to have) we divide his belongings. His engine stopped and they had to come down and went thru two barbed wire fences before they stopped. They tore off lower wing, but no one hurt. October1 3, 1918. I am now in Paris on my way to the great show. It's where or near where 1 visited last spring, so I know the country. Have been shopping so I am well fixed with flying outfit. Also bought some things and sent home. Has Lill got our favorite, if not tell her to try "Goodbye and Luck be With You Laddie Boy." I am going to stay here a couple of days and en­ joy myself. By the time you get this I expect I shall have been in some interesting scraps. We all know it the most dangerous work in the army. I went into it because I am fitted for this part of the game and you can be sure if I am brought down it will be fighting to the last ditch, whether it's one or a dozen Hun planes that does it. But after'all, I am banking on coming out O. K. We know they don't get all the air men. I talked with one the other day - who has been here a year and now is go­ ing back to the states as an instruc­ tor. I received a bunch of mall and some pictures just before I left. The pic­ tures were fine. I have been here nine months and I believe my visit is about half over. We will soon com­ mence to count time. Each month brings us nearer home. I won't be able to mail any letters while trav­ eling, so don't worry if you have to wait awhile for mail. I am assigned to a fine squadron. Remember me to the folks. Love, Al. 1st Aero Squadron, 1st Corps Observation Group, A. E. F., France. From Pvt. Walter H. Fay ' Somewhere in France, Oct. 9, 1918. Dear Friend Frank--As I have a few minutes to spare this evening I will drop you a line unless the Huns interfere with me with their airplanes. This is a good night for bombing as it is very clear, so I won't be sur­ prised if they pay us a visit* We have only been bombed once, but as the weather was very cloudy it was difficult for them to work. We have only received mail once in almost three weeks and I have not received a Plaindealer for over a month, but expect some soon. The mail is slow coming as we keep mov­ ing, but itimay catch us here. I am a signalman in the company, but signalmen are very seldom used, so for the present I am driving (de­ leted by censor), which we use as a light truck for hauling supplies, etc. I have been thru (deleted by censor) and many other towns that have been practically layed in ruins, but if Ger­ many holds out long enough she will have towns in the same condition. Before the drive started we were very near the front line, but they have pushed the line until we can just hear the rumble of the heavy artil­ lery. The night the drive started the heavy artillery was all around us and when they opened up it seemed as if every tree contained a sixteen rifle Altho they shook my dugout from one end to the other, it was the best music that I ever heard. They shelled us once before the drive started, but they did no damage except to rob us of an hour's sleep. This is my first ex­ perience under fire, but as we are liv­ ing in well built dugouts we have no cause to worry. I have seen thou­ sands of prisoners, several air fights, balloons shot down and almost every­ thing used in warfare. This evening I saw over two hundred allied planes, mostly Americans, returning from day bombing expeditions. We are getting good eats here and plenty of them and as we have good bunks we could ask for no more, ex­ cept to get rid of a few hundred rats. Some of the boys claim they have to nail their clothes down in order to keep them, but so far they have stolen none of mine. It seems strange to drive to towns behind the lines where civilians still live, business is carried on and they are out of the range of the German guns. In some towns people are re turning to their hpmes which have been freed by the American advance. Frank, we are sure lucky to have kept the war on this side and if you people could see some of these ruins you would think so too. Well, it is about time to turn in, so I will elose for this time, trusting that you are O. K. and hoping that I will receive The Plain- dealer soon, I am as ever, Your old friend, Pvt. Walter H. Fay. Hq. Co., 32nd Arty. Bdv A. E. F, France. From PrtA. F. Wrede The following letter to Donald Giv- ens from Pvt. Arthur F. Wrede, son of Mr. and Mrs. Lewfs Wrede of this village, and who is now stationed at Camp Knox, West Point, Ky., will be of much interest to his many friends in McHenry: Camp Knox. Oct. 21, 1918. Dear Friend Donald--Received your most welcome letter this morning and I will answer it at once. Will say that I am pretty well used to army life >w. Gay life if you don't weaken. This surely is one pretty place down here. Lots of woods and hills. The qnly thing I don't like here are the cold evenings. The days are real nice, but Oh you nights, and we are sleeping out in tents and only allowed to keep our fires going until 11 p. m. We have to have our door flaps open all night. There certainly is a lot of flu around here. Our camp is quaran­ tined on account of it. I lost one of WE BUY OLD FALSE TEETH! We pay from $2.00 to $35.00 per set (broken or not). We also pay actual value for diamonds, old gold, silver ahd bridge work. Send at once by parcel post and receive cash by return mail. Will return your goods if our price is unsatisfactory.

He went home to Louisville oh Saturday and Sunday he was taken down in bed. They called the doctor and intended to take him to the camp hospital, but he was too sick to be moved. He died the following Tues­ day morning. We have a bunch of our men ih the hospital. They took one of the lads out of the tent next to us to the hospital with the measles. We were supposed to leaye here the 15th of next month for "over there," but the way things look now I don't think we will get away that soon. Am surely anxious to get over there. Have been figuring on getting a furlough and spending a few days at home, but it doesn't look much like it now. Can just imagine how dead things are back in McHenry. In fact all the small towns are hit the same way. We are only twenty-one miles from Louisville and it surely is a pretty nice place. Have been going down there nearly every Saturday and staying until reveille on Monday morning, but on account of this quar­ antine have been staying here. , Well, Donald, I think I will have to cut this letter short, because I have to get busy. Remember job to your folks. Best regards, Art. Red Cross Notes The members will meet on Friday afternoon.

Public Service Co. OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS (ADVERTISEMENT) (ADVERTISEMENT) (ADVERTISEMENT) ((ADVERTISEMENT) THE welfare of your country, the honor of your St^te and prudent regard for your own personal interests, all call you to vote next Tuesday, November 5, for these Republican candidates: For United States Senator--MedHI McCormick For Congressmen-at-Large--William E. Mason and Richard Yates For State Treasurer--Fred E. Sterling For Supi of Public Instruction--Francis G. Blair For University Trustees -- Margaret Day Blake, Cairo Trimble and John M. Herbert It is equally important that you vote for Republican congressional, legislative and county candidates, to maintain, throughout the war, and afterward, the civilian morale and the efficient management of State and local affairs already established by Republican officials. The great war to preserve Christian Civiliza­ tion must be WON. America is in the war for that purpose to end the war on a basis that will forbid its repetition. An inconclusive peace by negotiation or compromise is not to be thought of. To achieve this unmistakable end, a Repub­ lican Congress a Congress Republican in both branches is essential. The imperative neces­ sity of it is written on every page of Con­ gressional history since America entered the war. Intelligent forecast of the future con­ firms it. By Republican votes in Congress, and only by Republican votes, was America organized and armed for war in 1917. When Senators and Representatives of the President's party hes­ itated, quibbled and wabblecl, Republicans were steadfast, and the aggressive patriotism which they expressed by word and vot e in the halls of Congress was written with qpld steel at Chateau Thierry, St Mihiel, St Quentin and the Argonne. Now, with a victorious , army in the field abroad, events day by day at home are em­ phasizing the imperative need of more Repub­ licans in Congress of a Republican majority in both House and Senate whose courage, determination and traditions will be a guaranty that America's part in the war shall not be lost At issue in this election, too, is approval or disapproval of the splendidly loyal record of Illinois, in word and deed, under the inspiring leadership of Governor Lowden. And thai the future--war problems and after-the-war problems of tremendous import. For sixty years the Republican party has been the constructive party of State and Nation. Now, as never before in history, the interests of ALL the people demand that the constructive policy and constructive ability of the Republican party be employed in both State and Nation. The only means to that end lies in the election of the candidates named above and their fellow Republican candidates for the Legislature and County offices.
