Tonyan.^wlro ire- Siide on the Freeman Whiting farm a short distance northwest of this vil­ lage, received a telegram from Wash­ ington,* D. C., on Monday morning of this week, informing them that their son, Edward, had been killed in action on October 4. Pvt. Tonyan had been in service jjust a year, lhaving left with the Mc­ Henry county contingent October 6, 1917. He was first sent to Camp Grant, where he remained for three weeks, thence to Camp Logan, Texas, and afterwards an official card was sent his mother about June 1 saying that he arrived safely overseas.' He was a member of Company C., 130th U. S. infantry, and had been at the front for many weeks. It will be noted that this was the infantry that performed such gallant duty north of Verdun during the past two months. No details except the sad news con­ tained in the telegram with words of comfort were received so far by the grief stricken parents, brothers and sisters and, tho the whole country looks upon it as an honor to make this great sacrifice, their hearts are sad­ dened and the thought that the home coming of this young soldier son was looked forward to with keenest hope makes the disappointment and loneli­ ness hard to bear. Deceased was born in McHenry township September 2, 1894, and al­ ways resided with his parents. He leaves besides his parents two broth­ ers and five sisters.. He was last heard from about three weeks ago, stating that he was well His mother holds the distinction and honor of being the first gold star mother in the community and the na­ tion congratulates and sympathizes With her in the great sacrifice she has made and the patriotism shown by her son inasmuch as he gave up his life for his country in her fight for the greatest cause that the world has ever known.

MORN- Call to "Victory Girls" Uncle Sam is soliciting the aid of every girl in the United States be­ tween the ages of twelve and twenty. This army of helpers is called the "Victory Girls." Let each girl in Mc­ Henry and the neighboring districts subscribe to the fullest extent dur­ ing the coming war drive, Nov. 11*18, to help support the seven great or­ ganizations that add so much to the comforts and amusements of our soldiers and sailors.

Each and every one of these various organizations has already accom­ plished great things for our boys in service and in order th%t these home ties may *iot be broken it is up to our patriotic people to subscribe to this drive to their very utmost. The original quota for. this drive was placed at $170,500,000, but owing to the fact that this quota Was fig­ ured out in May, 1918, on the basis of one million soldiers in France and the number over there is already two million, the natinoal executive com­ mittee is asking all units to run their quota fifty per cent above the allot­ ment. Mayor R. G. Chamberlin, who has been named the- chairman for Mc­ Henry township, made public the township's quota based on the fifty per cent over-subscription, which is as follows: McHenry township*® quoijhe.... .$5,550 McHenry's quota . .$3,053 Ringwo#d's quota .. * * r.. $1,387 Johnsburg's qtfota . $1,110 In preparation o^'tfie'coming drive, which opens next Monday morning, Nov. 11, and continues thruout the en­ tire #eek, ending on Monday night, Nay. 18, the township chairman called a meeting at the village halton Tues­ day evening of this week, which was attended by about thirty. The chairman opened the meeting by explaining the purpose of same and then named the various chairmen and captains who will act in this township. Those named were as fol­ lows: Clayton Harrison, chairman of the Ringwood district; Alfred De- brecht, chairman of the Johnsburg district; C. L. Page, chairman of the country district west of the river; M. A. Conway, chairman of the country district east of the river; F. A. Boh- lander, chairman of West McHenry; John H. Miller, chairman of East Mc­ Henry. It vyas also decided at the meet­ ing to try out the volunteer subscrip­ tion plan in McHenry township this time and in consequence the opening day of the drive has been set aside for this purpose. Here in McHenry the village hall will be open all day and until nine o'clock in the evening for the purpose of receiving voluntary subscriptions; at Ringwood Woodman hall will be used for a like purpose on the same day, while the plan will also be carried out at the J. B. Hettermann garage in Johnsburg, and it i* the hope of the township workers as well as the various other chairmen, cap­ tains and solicitors that all who can possibly do so make it their business to call at one of the three places dur­ ing the day, thus doing away with this soliciting. ^ Since these^ various causes '|M}ve Hiiiuc suliciline uuile common these days the question has finally been brought up "Why should it be left to one good patriotic citizen to tell the. other patriots their duty." We be­ lieve that the time has come when each and every one understands his or her duty and that most of those who are expected to, give in the com­ ing drive will make t^ieir voluntary" subscription next Monday morning and thus do away with a lot of un­ necessary work. The executive committee, which was also named by Chairman Chamberlin Tuesday evening will meet this (Thursday) evening, at which time estimate cards, showing what ee^h one is expected to give, will be made out. McHenry township's quota is a large one and only thru the co-operation of every man, woman and child will it be possible for us to make same, but The Plaindealer fears not for the final outcome, as this community has too splendid a record to have It marred by failing at this time, and we feel quite certain that our quota will be raised and the job will be complet­ ed in the shortest possible time. Considerable literature on the. work that is now being performed by these various organizations will be distrib­ uted into every home in McHenry township so that everyone will be able to fully understand the purpose of the drive and what its success will mean to the boys in service.

At the same time they received a Pershing coupon from him, requesting them to fill a carton to be Sent thru the, local Red Cross. - , Mrs. Jas. N.

WmiCAN TICKET WINS ENTIRE REPUBLICAN TICKET CARRIES McHENRY COUNTY lev. W. Freund Gives Graham a Close Run--Good Road Issue Carried In and State The entire Republican ticket was elected in McHenry as had been pre­ viously expected, all of the Republi­ can candidates going into office with handsome majorities. The vote of Tuesday carries with"it many surprises, especially in the three McHenry precincts. Precinct one, with its polling place at the village hall, gave the Republican ticket over­ whelming majorities, as did the sec­ ond precinct at Ringwood. The third, however, which has its polling place on Water street in this village, fa­ vored at least a portion of the Demo­ cratic ticket, including James Hamil­ ton Lewis for senator; Thos. E. Gra­ ham and Jos. W. Freund for members of tiie general assembly and X. E. Bar­ ber for judge. WES IN MILWAUKEE CONVENT Daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Neiss Succumbs to Attack of Influenza A telegram, announcing the sad and unexpected death of Sr. Beatrice, eld­ est daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Neiss,. who reside on Court street in this village, was received by the fam­ ily here last evening. Deceased was born and raised here and was a graduate of the McHenry high school and taught successfully in the county for some time. She was known to all McHenry friends as Miss Gertrude Neiss before enter­ ing St. Joseph's convent at Milwau wee a few years ago. She was twen ty-seven years old and her death was due to an attack of influenaa, which developed into pneumonia. The parents and her sister, Lillian, left this morning for Milwaukee to attend the funeral, which will be held from the convent Friday morning at 8:30 o'clock. Burial at Milwaukee.

While it is fane that he lost his home village by a small mar­ gin, the county vote shows him only 74% votes behind his opponent, Thos. Graham. While the official votes of Boone and Lake counties weren't ob­ tainable at the time of going to press, our information is to the effect that the McHenry man lost Boone coun­ ty by less than one hundred votes, while Graham claims Lake by a ma­ jority of nearly 2,000. Considering the late hour in which the MCHenry man entered the battle, together with the fact that he depended entirely up­ on the mails to carry his message to voters of the district as well as the fact that his political enemies made a very strong issue of his form letter, Mr. Freund's friends feel that his showing is a remarkable one and now claim that had he entered the race earlier and given more 6f his time in making a thoro canvass of the district the result would have been vastly dif­ ferent. The comity vote on the men in whom our readers are mostly inter­ ested is as follows For Senator-- . . , McCormiCk (Jy . .V/.4. .3578 Lewis (D) ..;.............1609 Rep. in Congress, 11th Dist.-- Copley (R) 3875 General Assembly, 8th Dist. -- .

In conclusion we wish to once more bring to your attention that you are expected to volunteer your subscrip­ tion by appearing at one of the three places above named on the opening day of the drive. The names of those who thus call will be ehecked off and those who have failed to volunteer will receive a call from the solicitors. It may also be well to add that "those who vounteer their subscriptions will be let off cheaper than those who do not and therefore it behooves every­ one to be a volunteer on this date and thus assist in putting McHenry town­ ship "over the top" in one day.
