It was not until Friday night that ifccHenry took a notion to bid for the next meet.

" McHenry is an ideal convention city and MicHenry county Legionnaires will have to all pitch in and make the meeting next year one of tfae best jn history. Between seven and eight hundred legionnaires assembled at Elgin Saturday for the fifth annual meeting of the district. A business meeting at the community high school buildin* opened the program. Myron Ml Lehman, commander of 4He Elgin post, opened the session and Thomas P. Bolger of McHenry, district commander was the unanimous choice of the assembly for chairman of the meeting. George E. Sullivan, Service officer of Peter Umathum post, was nominat- , ed for permanent secretary of the convention and to act as district adjutant for the coming year. The usual routine of business was transacted. The resolution committee offered a number of resolutions, chief among which was one endorsing the candidacy of James Sykora of Batavia .. for state commander next year. ..Oscar Carlstrom, adjutant general : Of the state of Illinois, was the first and main speaker of the business Mjark the package session.

He was followed by State Commander Ferre Watkins, who said only a few words as he was billed for the --pain speaker at the banquet in the •Oftening. Floyd Heckel, state adjutant, made a very interesting report and he was greeted with loud applause when he stated that Illinois led all the other states in the Union in membership at the present writing. "The eleventh district is not only -^ie second Jftrgest but the best district in the* state," remarked Heckel. Other prominent Legionnaires introduced were State Chaplain N. L.

V- ' ' r Help Needed For Unfortunates Is 9 Flooded Districts of ' Sootk lit Salvation Array will put on its Home Service Drive in McHenry and other towns in McHenry county next week and at that time everyone will be solicited. The quota for the city of McHenry i£ $300 and as this is the first appeal made by the Salvation Army here since 1924 there will be no trouble in raising this amount if residents will show their formier generosity and assist them in carrying on the great work in which they are engaged. The Salvation Army has been doing a wonderful work in the flooded districts and has about exhausted its resources in its work among the flood sufferers and now the time has come when it must have help in order to carry on its work. Officers stationed in the flooded areas, have been on the job from the beginning and have reported their needs daily. All resources of the Salvation Army Special Department have been utilized for gathering clothes for the refugees while all requests for cots, bedding, groceries, medical supplies and helpers have been met as received. At Little Rock, Arkansas the Salvation Army has been designated to have full charge of the distribution of clothing, while the destitute at Pine Bluff, Ark., are being fed from the Salvation Army soup kitchen. Families are being moved by boats to tent colonies and the Lincoln corps are working in the corn land where every house but one has been demolished. Many other corps are at work in the flooded area who have not yet reported but all of this is a splendid recommendation of their help at the present time as well as in the past. Over a hundred units are at work in the flooded area and twenty tons of clothing have been sent to refugee camps. ^ Any clothing or wearing apparel of any kind will be appreciated if sent to the Salvation Army warehouse at 1325 West Congress street, Chicago.

We are having a wonderful time down here where one sees little else but fields of young cotton and muddy water. ^ Just how much the poorer class is suffering down here by high water is hard to explain in a letter, but I wish to bring out the point that up North we are fortunate in as much as we can, to say the least, go to sleep nights not worrying about the water washing out our entire fields and wrecking our homes, pictures of i which I hope to bring back to prove my statement. In coming down here we found cement and gravel roads washed out in places and the road covered with water so much that the highway department has staked out the water covered road so autoists can get through. One stays between the staked out roads or doesn't get through at all.
