The fair, which has been an annual event for a number of years, will be held at the parish hall at Johns- burg and every indication points to its success.

The big doings on this day will open with the serving of an elaborate chicken dinner, which starts at 11:00 o'clock and will con­ tinue until all have been served.

DOUBLE FUNERALS ARE HELD AT RINGWOOD AU Are Victims of Influenza--All of -- Ringwood Is Thrown Into Deep­ est Sadness The saddest deaths recorded during the recent epidemic is that of two double funerals reported from Ring- wood this week. The first double funeral was held on Thursday of last week, whoa a short funeraF services was conducted at the home of Louis Linderman at Dundee, and the burial was at Ring- wood. The victims of this disease were Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Linderman, both dying of influenza at the emergency hospital at West Dundee, the husband on Saturday morning, Nov. 9, and the wife the following Monday. Elmer James Linderman was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Linder­ man of Dtendee. He was. born at that place on Dec. 8, 1894, and lacked one month of being twenty-four years of age. He is survived by his par­ ents, two children, three sisters, Mrs. Alice Timm and Mrs. Rose Holmes of Elgin and Miss Luctta LirJui aian cf Dundee, and two brothers, Otto and •Louis, both of Dundee. His boyhood days were spent in the home town, going to Ringwood for employment, in the summer of 1914. Mattie Smith Linderman was born at Ringwood, Sept. 12, 1896, and died at the age of 22 years and 2 months, leaving two children, Mercedes, two and one-half years, and James Elmer, fourteen months. She was a daugh­ ter of Mr. and Mrs. S. W. Smith and was one of a family of six children. She grew to womanhood at her home in Ringwood and was married July' 6, 1915. She was a member of the W. C. T.

Both were members of the Meth­ odist church and the funeral services were conducted by the Rev. Hewitt of Greenwood at the Ringwood M. E church Thursday, Nov. 14. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holly of this village sang several appropriate selections, after which the bodies were tenderly laid to rest in the Ringwood cemetery Surviving relatives have the sym­ pathy of the entire community in the double bereavement of this prominent young couple, whose lives were cut so short by the present dreaded epidemic. Card of Thanks We wish in this public manner to thank the neighbors and friends who so kindly assisted in any way in our reeent bereavement. S. W. Smith and Family. Louis Linderman and Famttyt The second double funeral was that ef Mr. and Mrs. Clyde M. Francisco Of Cadillac, Mich. Clyde Merwin Franaaeo passed away at his home in Cadillac on Wed­ nesday, Nov. 13, 1918, following an illness of thirteen days. He was a victim of that dreaded disease, pnue- monia. Clyde was the third son of the late Albert ami Lucinda, Francisco. He was born in Minnesota on June 1, 1891, making him 27 years and 6 month of age. His parents moved back to Illinois when he was only a baby. The deceased will be favor­ ably icuicitiuciou ulCMijr Ui Ule people of Ringwood and McHenry, as the family made Ringwood its home for a number of years. He attended the public school oi Ringwood and graduated from the McHenry high school with the class of 1910. He had beeh in the mail service about six years, his run being be­ tween Cadillac and Grand Rapids Be was united in marriage to Miss Jessie Sherman of Cadillac on June 1, 1918.

For Sale War Savings Stamps to inaugurated Next Week The war is over, but the last national drive far the year is unfin­ ished. Within a week there will be inaugurated our "over the top" drive for the sale of war savings stamps. If every person in McHenry county should purchase a war savings stamp, $4.22, by Thanksgiving day, one-half of the remainder of our quota of $300,000.00 would be completed before the drive starts. A little more self- denial and a little more cutting down on non-essentials will place McHenry county among the honor counties of Illinois. ^ The estimated expenditure of this government for the' next six months of sixty-Six million dollars for every day will undoubtedly be maintained. Demobilization is expensive. It Re­ quires service and things. The real test of patriotism is one's ability to release to the government men and supplies, not only during war, but also during the period of reconstruc­ tion. Not until demobilization Is com­ pleted will the government be able to return the soldiers to peacefud pur­ suit and materials for the essential industries of peace, hence the need for everyone to stay on the job and save and serve. The real test os to whether or not McHenry county has relaxed her efforts because of the armistice will be evident thru the war savings stamp drive. The emergency of the war is still here and McHenry county wants to go over the top." The drive î on be­ tween Thanksgiving and New Year's day. McHenry county's war pride-- her record in all war activities--will see to it that she does make her quota in war savings stamps. While tyie chief function of the war savings campaign is to divert the spendthrift tendencies of the nation into thrift, it is well to remember that each $1,000.00 put into war savings stamps pays for the maintenance of one soldier for a year, except when he is in battle. If a community fails to invest in its allotment of stamps it fails to take care of its own boys "over there." The victory won shofes that we sent the right men to tight for us overseas. Let us meet our quota in war savings stamps «md show the boys that the fellows that stayed at home were right, too. Four years from January next you get your money back with four per cent interest com­ pounded quarterly, your money back at any time with interest at three per cent in case of an emergency of any kind.

UNITED WAR WORK DRIVE END­ ED LAST NIGHT Ringwood and Johnebarg Over-Subscribe Quotas ti * This Worthy Cause The good people of McHenry town­ ship once more demonstrated the fact that they are willing at all times to back HP those boys who have assisted in making this world a save place to live in by over-subscripjtion of its full quota .to the United War Work drive which came to a close last evening. While we were unable to get the final figures of the drive, Chairman Chamberlin of the United War Work committee informed us over the tele phone this morning that McHenry, Ringwood and Johnsburg all over subscribed their alloted quotas by very respectable margins and our message to the boys is one that should bring pride into the hearts of all who contributed to this very worthy cause. Like all previous drives conducted in the township, there were a few dis­ satisfied contributors, but these few one can easily count on the fingers of his hand, and thus it may be stated that the great majority "came across" and did it willingly. A number of cases of plus-subscriptions were re­ ceived and it was these that brought McHenry's total well beyond the mark of our allotment. In checking over the names last night the committee found that there were still a few in the village and the community adjacent who have not contributed to the cause and for these there is still time to make good as the chairman as well as Committee mem bers have decided that those sub­ scriptions .will be accepted by any member at any time. Rev. M. J. McEvoy reported to us last evening that the village of Rich­ mond raised $4,230 during the "drive just ended, while reports from other cities and towns of the county are just as favorable. This is indeed a gratifying condi­ tion and McHenry county has thus placed herself in a position where her good people will be able to greet the returning soldiers with open arms and with the feeling that "we have backed you to the limit w^e, you were away."

Don't buy your Christmas presents until you see their aprons and other articles, which will offer at reasonable prices. / McHenry Has But One Physicisn For the first time in many years, McHenry has been left with but one practicing physician and surgeon, this condition having been prought about last week, when Drs. D. G. Wells and A. I. Froehlich left for Ft. Ogle­ thorpe, Ga., where they are now stationed as members of the medical corps of the U. S. army. Their go­ ing has left the village and sur­ rounding community in the care of Dr. N. J. Nye. However, Dr. C. H. Fegers, who retired a few years ago, still maintains his residence here and may h« nTOSMnj into SCrYi€$ in of emergency. i 3 Poultry Demonstration * F. L. Piatt, the poultry man con­ nected with the U. S. department o^ agriculture and the State College of Agriculture, will be in the county oh Friday, Nov. 22. Poultry demonstra­ tion work will be given as follows: 8:30 a. m., John R. Wells farm, Dun­ ham; 10:30 a. m., Jacob Olbrich farm, Chemung; 1:30 p. m., J. H. Turner farm, Hebron; 3:16 p. m., C. W. Gibbs farm, McHenry. The women are urged to attend as well as the men. Do not fail to attend at least one of the poultry meetings on Nov. 22, Ex­ tend the invitation to your neighbors. Eats Coated Pills, Dies Kathryn Kusloski, four-year-old daughter of Louis Kusloski of Fox Lake, passed away in that village last Saturday afternoon after having eaten a quantity of sugar-coated pills containing strychnine. She had seen her father, take these pills and mis­ taking them for candy she had swal­ lowed several before her horror stricken parents discovered the fact. It was 4:30 last Saturday afternoon when the child swallowed the poison and she died about an hour and a half later. Will Dry BUI Pass? There is considerable speculation' at this time among the saloon keepers of this village as to the disposition President Wilson will make regarding the "dry" bill which is now awaiting his final decision at Washington, D. C. The signing of the bill means that McHenry, in common with every other village and city in the U. S:, will be dry next year.. In that event our village dads will have before them the preplexing problem of providing funds with which to defray the an- nual expenses of McHenry. During the past year the saloon revenue of the village amounted to $4,600 and with the loss of this money the vil­ lage must obtain its funds thru gen­ eral taxation. Red Cross Party X Mrs. C. W. Gibbs entertafeted for the Rod Cross on Saturday after­ noon. Those present to enjoy the afternoon and a five o'clock supper were Mesdames Jay Doherty, H. E. Cleinens, F. A. Cooley. Jack Walsh and Misses Catherine and Mary Pen­ der Walsh and Lucille Stenger. The names outlined on the block were Lillian Doherty, Georgia Clemens, Lucille Stenger and Opal Cooley. In a written contest Mrs. H. E. Clemens iciu * eu honors. Thanksgiving day, 1918, will be the greatest in all history. This year the month of November, set aside as of old for rejoicing and thanksgiving, is memorable for event of victory and peace. Its celebration should be made appropriate by patriotic menus indica tive of thrift and Americanism. A conservation program waits on the American Thanksgiving dinner. Let no one think that the end of the war will free us from the need of conser­ vation. The call of more hungry per­ sons than ever comes from overseas. We can do a large service in the month of November if we will urge our housewives to prepare a simple but substantial home grown Thanks­ giving meal. The family will be thank ful for simple fare, using local prod­ ucts for which our transportation fa­ cilities have not been taxed. Turkey? Yes, and chicken, too, instead of beef and pork needed for export; plenty of gravy to save butter for shipment; oysters in their native states; wild rabbit for those who are fortunate enough to have them; pies with one crust and filled deep with fruit and vegetables; cranberries sweetened with honey or syrup; tur­ nips, squash or onions in place of veg­ etables out of season; sugarless con­ fection, native nuts for desert. In short, use local perishable products to save transportation. - ^ ^ ? ASPICKEDUPBY REPORTERS DURING •- Eastern Star A cafeteria supper was served Dy the Eastern Star ladies at the Masonic hall Monday evening, after which five hundred and bunco were enjoyed by the large assemblage. In strict ob­ servance of the conservation rules, not to serve a fourth meal, the ladies* served at six o'clock. In the games, which furnished amusement during the evening, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Stephenson were ahead in bunco and Mr. and Mrs. Win. Pries were awarded the consolation. At five hundred Mrs. J. C. Holly of this village and A. J. Gafke of Woodstock carried away first honors, while Mrs. N. H. Petesch ami F. E. Cobb were awarded the consolation prizes in this game. This was one of the most de­ lightful social affairs ever given by the Eastern Star ladies and a hand­ some sum was realized to enrich the treasury. Meets With Accident In Will Wm. Bacon met with an accident while at work fixing the cylinder in a well near Slocum's lake last Thurs­ day. His helper accidentally kicked a brick into the well, striking him on the head an® severing an artery. Had it not been that he was fortified with ropes when knocked Benseless, the accident might have been fatal. Mr. Bacon possesses unusual strength and after getting out of the well he recovered sufficiently to motor to the office of Dr. D, G. Wells, where sev­ eral stitches Were taken. Tho the accident was of a serious nature, it did not lay him up for any length of time, being about his work every day since. f" •;! f. Hauling Milk From Waueenda The milk from the Borden factory at Wauconda is again being hauled to the McHenry plant, the condition being brought about on account of difficulties that are being experienced in operating the Wauconda-Palatine railroad.
