SI BOYS LEAVE SATURDAY S - FOB ARMY TRAINING AT CAMfP GRANT V-", JoMsburg and Ota* Ringwood Young Men IndnM b tht Uat-- Report Firday The third contingent of drafted men of McHenry county will leave Wood­ stock next Saturday. The third call is for thirty men, among whom are only four from this township, they be­ ing William H. Althoff, Ed. Tonyan and Paul Schumacher, all of Joims- burg, and Edward C. Harrison of Ringwood. These are the four men who were called as substitutes when the second contingent left for Camp Grant. The boys have received their notifications and are expected to appear before the g|4,.Si McHenry county exemption board at v the court house at Woodstock at two o'clock tomorrow afternoon. From this lime on the young men will be In the military service, of the United ,";i* States. They will be quartered at . 3 the county seat for the night and will * appear at the exemption board head­ quarters at eight o'clock Saturday morning, where they will receive final instructions before marching to the : depot, where they will board a special ) train that will carry them to Camp Grant. A number of McHenry people have visited Camp Grant since otfr boys arrived there and all found the Mc- Henry young men in good spirits and j'f! seemingly enjoying their new sur- ^ roundings. Some of our residents who visited. the camp last Sunday found many of the boys in civilian clothes, but were told that , the men ^|were uniformed just as rapidly as it rf%ij^was possible so to do. t f k - ' J The boys declared that they were well satisfied with their work, their " 0 living quarters and eats, but com- L'lt>lained that the bed coverings weren't iV quit® warm as they would like to ' have them. We noticed by some of V."-our exchanges where the men from - other sections have been supplied with li?Vvthe much needed covering and in this connection and for the benefit of our «boys in camp we suggest that our people get busy and see that they are supplied with blankets and covering. v'*4 Nick Franzen, former proprietor of the Centerville barber shop, who * went down to camp with the boys * three weeks ago, has aready rigged up a home-made barber chair and is applying his trade during the hours of rest. So far as the food is concerned the boys are perfectly satisfied. The only thing in this line that they seem to naiaa is fruit Anyone making a trip . to the camp in the future will do the hoys a favor by taking them fruit. Included in the thirty men who leave Woodstock -next Saturday are seven from Woodstock, four from Marengo, four from Alden, two from Hartland, one from Union, one from Hebron, one from Algonquin, two from Crystal Lake, one from Harvard, one from Ampton, la., one from Richmond and our four boys above mentioned, ;' la Now Lieutenant /kpfi R J. Aicher, our progressive 1 Centerville dentist, received'his com- -4- mission as first lieutenant in the den- : tal reserve on Wednesday morning of this week. The doctor took the exam- ... ination in Chicago a short time ago. %f According to information at hand, St •, | there are now enoug)i dentists on the reserve list to supply an atmy of three million men PLAINDEALER IN RUSSIA Lesii« Norager Enjoys Reading Our I Thru the courtesy of the young man's father we are this week giving our readers excerpts taken from a letter written by Leslie Nprager from Petrogradj Russia, to his, father, C. F. Norager, proprietor of the Orchard Beach hotel. The excerpts follow: "I still receive the Plaintiealer now and then and am very glad that they come, inasmuch as they are the only American papers I receive. Of course, they are several months old, but any edition at all ,is bettter than none, and I wouldn't care if I had to wait six months as long m The Plain- dealer would reach me. "Did you receive. my postals which I sent you while way up in northern Finland, Harparanda ? I wish you could have been along to see all the game fish and ducks. The country is practically wild and no sportsmen or hunters are up there after the wild game. I had a pretty nice trip for the short while I was there (three weeks). - © "We stayed at a peasant's house and their primitive way of living was a treat for me. They have to spin their own wool and make everything for themselves, from a shovel to a wagon. It certaiilly is a hard life fo« them, but. if ever there were any hardier people than those Russian peasants I would like to see them. Every farmer has his 'steam bath house' and after a steam bath he n like a new man. I think these baths are all over Europe, at least northern Europe, because wherever I have been I have seen them. "We stopped at the peasant's house for two weeks and the whole cost for us (my friend and I) was about $8.00, including everything. How's that ? Of course traveling is the most expensive part. In comparison with the rates at home they are much lower. "I had a little practice in Swedish, as the more intelligent people of Fin­ land speak the Swedish language, and, believe me, the little Danish 1 learned at home, together with my German, has become of great value to me. One must speak several lan­ guages if he wants to get around anywhere in Europe, and I only wish I was gifted with more of them than ' I am. But of course, I have a long time ahead of me and 'plenty of chances to learn. , "I am going to take a course in the Berlitz school and learn to correspond in Russian. Most of the firms over here are giving all the young fellows that they have acquired from abroad a training in this course. I shall let you know in my next letter of my further progress. "In closing I want you to cost as­ sured that my thoughts are always with you dear ones at home and never shall I forget dear old McHenry. 1 wish I could just drop in now yid take a look at the place and share your pride in all the improvements that you have done since I left. Don't forget to include Dr. Henkel in my greet­ ings." WEST SIDE CAMP Entertained by Woodmen of R». N.

According to newspaper dope, the Ford Automobile company is now turning out a 7-paasenger machine with 118-inch wheel base. • James Oxtoby,. who resties on a farm near Spring Grove, has just lost over twenty hogs from cholora. This means a loss of aver $1200. The opening of new salesrooms of the Ellison Machine company at Ma­ rengo was attended by over 700 peo­ ple a week ago last Saturday. A new automobile truck has just been placed into commission by the condensed milk factory at Grayslake to haul milk to its plant from Prairie View. The groceries, hardware stores, meat markets and -bakeries now close at six o'clock every evening of the week .except Saturday at Lake Gen­ eva, Wis. The Dundee State bank building has been purchased by the D. S. Haeger estate and, according to present plans, the banking concern will erect for it­ self a new home. August Hawk, the Barringten stock buyer, who was recently arrested in Chicago for selling inferior beef and for misrepresenting his products, was assessed a fine of $200 and costs. Mrs. Amelia Riek of Algonquin fell from a step ladder dt her home fast Thursday morning^ In the fall she struck on her head, causing a fracture of the akuU, from which she died that evening. The Woodstock business houses are becoming more and more citified. Last iveek real live models were imported iTom Chicago to display suits, cloaks, skirts and blouses at Wein's depart­ ment store in that city. The Lake county fair dm to. a dose at LibertyviHe last Saturday evening and, according to reports from Waukegan, the affair did not prove a financial success. The at­ tendance was considerably below pre­ vious years, while the exhibit of finer grades of cattle and swine did not come up to expectations. A home talent play, give* at the Woodstock opera house for the bene-*, fit of the Red Cross society on Wed»:; nesday and Thursday nights of last week, was greeted by packed houses on both nights. The play was in the nature of a musical comedy and is said to have been one of the best home pro­ ductions ever given in that city. Teams picked from men engaged in different trades are playing benefit games at Lake Geneva every Sunday. A week ago the carpenters and ma­ sons attracted a large crowd, while the carpenters and painters engaged in battle last Sunday. The proceeds are being turned over to soldier hoys of that city to be used as they see fit. Marengo's city marshal has pur­ chased a pair of bloodhounds, which places him in a better position to trail down the fellows who commit thievery in that city in the future. The hounds were purchased at Lex­ ington, Ky., and are the personal property of the city official. The marshal will not confine his work to local cases, put will be in readiness to answer calls from any locality. The Holstein herd of R. E- Hsoger, proprietor of the Riverside Stock farm at Algonquin, in competition with 253 Holsteins from all over New England, took sixteen out of twenty firsts, be­ sides awards for senior and junior champion bulls, senior and junior champion females, grand champion­ ship bull and grand championship cow at the recent New York state fair. The record has never been equalled by any herd. The herd more than made good its title, "The Breed's Greatest Prize Winnifig Herd." A Mercer runabout, owned and driven by W. E. Fraaae, collided with a car owned and driven hy Dr. John Emmons on a highway near Poplar Grove on Wednesday evening of last week. Mrs. Fraaze, who was in the car with her husband when the acci­ dent occurred, died shortly after from injuries, while her husband was rushed to the Harvard hospital. The doctor was also quite seriously in­ jured. According to the Hebron Tribune the Harvard car was going at a high rate of speed at the time the accident occurred. DECIDING GAME NEXT SUNDAY East and Wert Side Te Championship The deciding game of a series of three between teams representing the' East and West Sides will be staged at the baseball park next Sunday after­ noon and from all indications the con­ test should be an interesting one. The teams have now played two games, the first going to the West Siders by a score of 15 to 11, while last Sunday's battle went to the East Siders 12 to 10. * > Since the last game interest among the fans has increased one hundred per cent and it goes without saying that the followers of the two aggrega tions will be out in numbers when the athletes meet for their final de­ ciding clash. West McHenry will again depend on Vogt to hurl them to victory, while Zuelsdorf, who gave such an excellent account of himself last Sunday, will, in all, probability, again grace the rubber for. the East Siders. It is unnecessary to state that both teams will present their strongest fronts on this occasion and also that the contest will be fought out with all the ginger that the boys will be able to accumulate. As the teams stand today it is a fifty-fifty propo­ sition and from the talk heard about town supporters on both sides are willing to back their favorites with a little side bet. The members of the McHenry chapter of the American Red Cross society are out for a, big attendance and with this end in view considerable advertising is being done. The ladies are telling everyone whom they meet to be sure and turn out and we pre­ dict that the proceeds, which will be turned over to the society, will be larger than from the first two games combined. Remembe% this is your last chance to contribute in this man­ ner and your two-bits will be appre­ ciated by the ladies. Your money's worth is guaranteed. As a special feature, arrangements have also been made for the posting of scores by innings of the world series game between the New York and Chicago teams. These scores will be received over the Western Union telegraph line and a carrier will be engaged to deliver them from the depot to the ball park. SOCIAL WHEEL MONSTER SOLDIER BENEFIT TO BE HELD AT WOODSTOCK ON SATURDAY, OCT. 18 Members Enjoy An Unusual Program at the Wirfs Home Uni versa list CJiurch WIH Open Sunday The McHenry Universalist church ! will begin its year's work with a Rally* day next Sunday, Oct 7. Special announcements are being Bent out and a large crowd is expected to be pres­ ent for the opening Sunday. Services will be at the usual hours, Sunday school, 10 a. m.; preaching,service, 11 a. m. The church will have the Ser­ vices this ylar of Rev. John M. Rat- cliff, who is well known in the Mc­ Henry community. Mr. Ratcliff has been pfestor of the church for three years, but was forced to be absent several months last spring on account of the illness and death of hi* mother. The last meeting of the Social Wheel was held last Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. Peter Wirfs on Cen­ ter street, where an unusually good time prevailed. Her daughters, Mrs. Carl Gruener and Miss Esther Matson, of Chicago assisted in the afternoon's program by giving some favorite selections in music and readings, in which they were obliged to respond to encores. Sixteen ladies took part in the guessing contest, which afforded un­ usual mirth. Mrs. N. H. Petesch de­ served honors and was awarded tjie prize at the close. A delicious lap lunch was faultlessly served by the hostess and the mem­ bers are complimentary in their ap­ preciation of the jolly afternoon spent with Mrs. Wirfs. la Mht Well We are m receipt of a letter from B. V. McAllister, former West Side druggist, now located at Hoopeston, 111. He infonns us that he enjoys the weekly visits of The Plaindealer and adds that he is enjoying a fine trade. He attributes his success to the regu­ lar use of the advertising columns of Hoopeston's daily paper. Mr. Mc­ Allister always was a firm believer of printer's ink and is a man who knows how to make up advertisements that are sure to bring results. A news­ paper clipping enclosed with the let­ ter also tells of an antiseptic powder which was recently perfected by Mr. McAllister and which is already find­ ing a ready sale.

Plans for this event were started on Monday by a number of Woodstock men, interested in the welfare of the boys now in camp and those who are getting ready to go. Frank J. Green was made chair­ man of the committee, Percy R. For- man, secretary, and John M. Hoy, treasurer, while pr. W. W. Lichty took charga of the speed program, William Howard the ball game, J. C. Miller the concessions and Chas. F. Renich will look after the publicity. It should not "be supposed that these men will work alone. On the contrary, a big committee of from fifty to one hundred boosters are go> ing to back them up and help them in every way. Already Mr. Green is 'advertising for thirty volunteers, who are willing to donate their services for police duty, ticket takers and sellers on the grounds. A big day's program of events was arranged, which will include three harness races, three out of five, and one running race ft>r county horses, best two out of three. The harness race program will be for $150 purses. Dr. Lichty informed the committee that most of the horses which were here during the fair, are coming for this event, as well as many others. The ball game will probably be be­ tween McHenry and Lake Geneva. These two teams wore matched to cross bats on Friday of the fair, but on account of the rain the game was not played. Both teams are anxious to play and if present plans do not fail, they will be on hand to entertain the people for this occasion. Moriarty Will Umpire' 'George Moriarty, the well known American league umpire, whose home is at Woodstock, has consented to do his bit and will umpire the ball game. "Mory" has just com­ pleted the season with the big league and his work here on the diamond will be enjoyed by his host of friends from everywhere. All of the proceeds of the event, above expenses, will go into a fund for the McHenry county men who are at Rockford or are going to be there. Men from every town in McHenry county are included in this number and it is hoped that everybody in the county will give a helping hand to boost the gate receipts. The admis­ sion will be 50 cents; children under 14 years old free. It is intended to give the people a big day's program, more than their money's worth. With good races, both harness and running, a well- matched ball game, a good band for music and probably a merry-go-round and other amusements for young and old, the day at the fair grounds will be very much like a Fourth of July celebration. And with the proceeds going to help your boys and our boys, who are leaving their homes and friends to do their utmost in their country's ser­ vice, sacrificing everything to answer their country's call, we believe th^ people Of this county will give a re-i sponse in numbers; such as has never been known before. Take a day off next week Saturday and take your wife and kiddies to the fair grounds at Woodstock, where you will get the biggest and best day's sport that can be arranged. Remember, your half dollars spent at the gate will go to help the boys, your boys and your neighbors' boys, who are preparing to do and die if need be in your country's service. Come and don't leave father and mother at home, but bring them all. While your money will go to a good cause, at the same time you'll receive big value for every dollar you spend.

Get your season tickets now or the opening night at the door for $1.00 and 60 cents for children. Those holding season tickets can get them reserved for the season any time this week at Petesch's drug store. This course was engaged by the board of education, not so much for profit, but to give the public a series of first-class entertainments at the lowest possible cost Any net profits vtill go for educational purposes. Single admissions have been put down to 25 and 15 cents. The Jubilee Singers come very highly recommended. Amongst their numerous testimonials we find the following from Ohio: "The concert given here by the Glazier Jubilee Singers was just simply the real thing. The city hall was crowded to its utmost capacity and the singers kept the crowd in a continuous laugh­ ter. They certainly surpass anything that has been in town for years and if possible we would like to secure them again later in the winter. They are a set of singers that make the old feel young again, and who can make .those who get the blues feel as if life is worth living after all. The community which has not had the opportunity, to listen to them would certainly hi fortunate in securing them." < What People Are Doing la Mi Vil­ lage and the Immediate Vfeiaity--* Other Short Paragraphs Butter Market .

"Why they just help themselves to anything in the lino of fruits and vegetables on the place and do it in broad daylight," the voice over the telephone exclaimed. This is surely a sorry state of affairs and we wonder if these people do not realize that they are committing rob­ bery when they do these th|ngs? • May Have Team ̂ A movement has been started among local foot ball enthusiasts to organize a town team here.
