The power of the press is never more manifested than when a man asks the editor "not to mention that little trouble of his in the paper."

But to print it in the paper hurts more than street talk, LETTER FIOM CORP. STEWART Anxious to Leave the Border, Tho the Climate Is Delightful $*n Antonio, Tex., Dec. 31, 1916. McHenry Plaindealer. Dear Sir--Having just received the McHenry Plaindealer away down here on the border and reading the different items makes a fellow long to be home, tho all the boys had a very Merry Christmas. We certainly thank the people of McHenry county for the lovely dona­ tion of $350.00 sent to us and which afforded us suds a good timte during the holidays. # The dance given at the armory at Woodstock surely was a grand suc­ cess. We are unlucky about getting home, several regiments, which came here weeks after we did, having left Camp Wilson. Some of the boys went home on furloughs, lasting fif­ teen days during the Christmas sea­ son, Walter Geske being among them. The 7th Illinois and 1st Wis­ consin regiments left three days ago- . We are all longing to be home, as there is nothing for us to do but drill and take long hikes every day. We are here six months and almost seven months since we answered the call. I have been six years in ser­ vice and will be entitled to an hon­ orable discharge in March and will not re iirttlf : .~ MMPMP OPERA HOUSE McHENRY .v" [ 4 •JT*' THURSDAY, JAN.
