GHiaftGO TELEPHONE GOMMMV (> - -y ' Sfe The story of "Every Mother's Son" revolves around an American family --father, mother and three sons. The wife is a typical American mother; one whose whole life is wrapped up in her husband and her boys. The father has given his services to Uncle Sam as a "dollar-a-year" man in the great war and works night and day. The elclest son, altho in the first draft age, volunteers before he is called and is sent to France. The mother dreads to see him go, but recognizes that it is his duty. In France the boy goes over the top with his company and in a furious hand-to-hand encounter he is "seen to fall. When his comrades return he is reported missing. The report reaches home. The mother is prostrated, believing her first-born is dead, but finds comfort in her two remaining boys. The second son, however, has been drafted and sets out to avenge his brotiii.'s death. When he goes the mother holds hfr youngest still closer to her heart and exclaims, "They shall not take him!" The boy agrees with her, for he has been attending pacifist meetings and has vowed that he will not go to war. • The eldest son, however, is not dead, hut has been captured. He is placed in a vile prison camp and subjected to every indignity. In desperation he and several others successfully plan an escape. Th6y become separated during the night, after leaving prison, and the son takes refuge in a barn. He is discovered by a French girl, daughter of the house, and she furtively feeds him. No news of his captivity or escape reaches home. The mother hears only that her second son has been wounded. f • The country is in need of millions ! more of men and the proclamation is {made that every male from 18 to 45 'years of age must register for the selective service. The mother vows that she never will let her youngest j go. Registration day arrives--she | prevents her last boy from registerling, altho the father--just 45--joins I the long line of .patriots at his registration booth. Near the end of the day a party of survivors of a U-boat atrocity are brought ashore and taken to the family home. The pitiful story they tell makes a deep impression on the mother's mind. Realizing at last that it is her duty to„give all she has to put an end to German militarism, she hurries her youngest boy to his local board and personally sees him register. Later she bids him goodbye as he starts for a training camp. The scene changes to France, where the eldest son, with the aid of the French girl, plans to escape to his own lines with information that will aid the Americans to capture that sector. A German officer, who has been watching the girl for some time, discovers the American's presence and overhears the plan for escape. It has been agreed between the boy and the girl that she shall give a signal of attack to him after he reaches his own troops. The Hun officer decides to allow the American to escape, but to lay plans for overhelming the Yankee attack. But the German preparedj ness is all to no purpose. The Amer- ! icans overcome the augmented forces of the enemy and take possession of the town. Again the scene changes to America. It is Christmas day and the war is ended. The youngest son is home from camp. With the eldest so» believed to be dead and with the second wounded, the mother prepares for a sad Christmas dinner and places at table two chairs which she expects to remain vacant. But the father has prepared a surprise for her. Just before dinner is announced he brings in the wounded son, honorably discharged and now well on the way to recovery. There is a joyous reunion. A little later there is another knock at the door and the boy who was thought dead clasps his mother to his breast and introduces his little French bride--the girl who saved him from the Huns. Then the action shifts to the great peace conference at Versailles. President Wilson, Premiers Clemenceau, Lloyd George and Orlando, enemy delegates and many other statesmen and diplomates of the warring nations are shown in deliberation, building the better world which is to be. The great drama ends with stirring scenes of reconstruction and of the new order to which the war has given birth. At the Empire Sunday evening, Sept. 13. | Executor's Notice I Charles B.

Bead Jhe~^Plsinriail«r and Jnqp CLASSIFIED The oldest daughter of Simon Stoffel fell and broke her arm one day last week. „ *~ Frank McOmber was on the sick list last week, but is now able to be around. The wagon shop and plaiiing mill of R. Bishop is receiving a coat of paint on the outside. J. J. Gilles is putting a handsome new bar and fixtures into his saloon on the West Side. An infant child of Mr. Tislow, who lives on the east side of the river, died on Sunday of cholera infantum. At the auction sale of cows, by C. L. Sullivan, at the stock yards in this village on Friday last, milk cows sold at an average of $30 per head. Since the recent rains the phenomendn is noticed of hollyhocks blooming for the second time. This is something unusual for this time of year. Mrs. Beckwith has sold her house and lot on the West Side to Dr. Auringer, who has put same in good repair and rented it to John Stoffel. The corn crop in Illinois will be far from a failure this year. In some localities it will b^ cut short by the dry weather, but in many sections'it will make a good yield. • Simeon Covell had the misfortune to get the middle finger of his left hand caught in the gearing of a feed cutter one day last week, cutting it off cl^an near the second joint. Frank Fay, a former McHenry boy, but for the past two years living at Denver, Colo., was obliged to submit to the amputation of his left hand recently on account of cancer. t~~~ By the bursting of a gas generator at the Mineola club at Fox Lake on Sunday evening, Doc Knowles was severely burned about the face, arms and breast. Dr. Abt of this village was called and dressed the burns. Miss Nellie Doherty, daughter of James Doherty, died at the residence of her parents south of this village on Sunday afternoon last after a long and painful illness. She was about thirtythree years of age and was loved and respected by all who knew her. The Terra Cotta works of W. D. Gates, four miles south of this village, were totally destroyed by fire on Tuesday afternoon. An oil pipe burst - ed, scattering the crude oil in every direction, and the workmen had barely time to escape from the building. The loss is estimated at from $100,000 to $150,000, on which there was no insurance. One of the most severe storms known for years visited this part of the state on Friday night last, but fortunately McHenry was not in the line of its destructive path. At Woodstock, Crystal Lake, Huntley and other parts of the county buildings were unroofed, stock killed and other damage done. It was a fearful night and the storm was watched with a good deal of anxiety by most of our citizens. FOR SALE--Tomatoes. Inquire of Henry Ahrens, West McHenry, 111.
