FRED POWERS PASSED AWAY A Well Known Farmer In This Vicin­ ity Expired Last Week Fred Powers, whose death occurred Nov. 13, 1917, was born on a farm in Nunda- township Oct. 10, 1892, and lived at the home of his birth until his marriage to Harriet Foley at Graf­ ton, Ohio," Jan. 20, 1892. The couple commenced housekeep­ ing on an adjacent farm on Crystal Lake road. Three children were born to this union, a daughter, Margaret, Who passed away in infancy, and two sons, Raymond of Chillicothe, Ohio, and William of McHenry, who still survive him. His wife preceded him April 20, 1912. He is also survived by two sisters, Anna and Etta, and two brothers, David and Edward, all of this vicinity. Mr. Powers, though retired from farm labors on account of ill health, Was able to be about until a few days before his death. He has been a resi­ dent of this village for the past two yaars, making daily auto trips to his farm, which is considered one of the finest in McHenry county. A passing view shows the energy and progres- siveness characteristic of the deceased.. Mr. Powers had many warm friends here, having always resided in this vicinity. He was a member of St. Patrick's parish and a charter mem­ ber of the local K. of C. council. His funeral was held at St. Pat­ rick's church in - this village Thurs­ day, Nov. 15, the Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor, celebrating requiem high mass and also preaching a fine funeral ser­ mon. Burial in the cemetery adjoin­ ing the church. Card of Thanks We wish to extend our sincere thanks to our neighbors and friends for the kindness and sympathy shown us in our late bereavement. Raymond Powers. Will Powers. Anna Powers. Etta Powers P. J. DORR RESIGN8 Principal of McHenry High School Joins Aviation Corps P. J. Dorr, principal of McHenry high school, has resigned and will leave Friday for Utica, New York. Having enlisted his services in the aviation corps and passed a satisfac­ tory examination in Chicago a few weeks ago, he will now enter Cornell university in the above named city. Mr. Dorr has been on the staff of educators in the McHenry high school for the past two years and much re­ gret is expressed by the pupils and faculty as well as every citizen in McHenry that he could not remain in the school, where his wisdom and guidance were exemplified. Members of the classes in the par­ ticular branches in which he gave instructions regret his going, but his patriotism and love of country sur­ mounted and this alone led him to enlist. In joining the aviation corps we know he will serve his country best, as his courageous manner indicates. Since receiving his commission Mr. Dorr has been entertained by many friends in the village as an apprecia­ tion. Last night he was invited to the McHenry Pleasure club room, where he was entertained by many friends and during the evening was presented with a purse of $35.00. To­ night the local K. of C. council will extend him a farewell reception at their rooms in Centerville. Up to the present time no one has been engaged to fill his position in the schools here. With pride and all honor to Mr. Dorr every citizen in McHenry will bid him God speed in his noble re­ sponse to "My Country Calls..' New Engine Needed According to information at. hand the gasoline engine, that has served its purpose since the installation of the water system in the village, is pretty badly worn and is very apt to throw itself out of commission at any time. If this is a fact, we don't un­ derstand why our village board should hesitate. Should that old engine break down at a time that a fire was raging, the village officers . would never hear the last of it. The old saying, "A stitch in time," may be properly applied in this case. Millinery Sale Wishing to close out what winter stock I now have, I offer my hats for sale at an execeptionally low price during the remainder of the month. L.

Thirteen Hebron merchants gave ten per cent of their last Saturday's cash sales to a fund for the benefit of the Hebron boys in the army and navy. Restaurants and hotel keepers at Cary held a meeting one day last week, at which time they agreed to observe the meatless Tuesdays and wheatless Wednesdays in the future. The Days of Real 'Sport" is the name of a college play that is now being rehearsed by local talent at Hebron. The play will be presented on the nights of Dec. 6 and 7. Chas. Kuebker of Grayslake is driv­ ing the Ford touring car given by the canning company of that village to the farmer raising the largest yield of sweet corn on ten acres of ground.

Sternberg's home is at DesPlaines. According to the Wauconda Leader the flour and feed mill in that vil­ lage has been operating night and day during the past month or morp. Grists have been brought to the mill from as far north as Kenosha, Wis. The Gage hotel at Harvard has been rented by Del S. Smith, who took possession of the business last week. H. A.

The young­ ster is charged with stealing watches, rings and other articles from stores in that village His companion, who has been working with him, has not been captured. The Molle Typewriter company will not locate its factory at Wauconda. This decision was reached at a meet­ ing held at the Palace theatre in that village one night last week, when it was decided that the people ha«Ljust located the tile factory and weren't in a position to promote another fac­ tory at this time. Floyd Hammond of Harvard was held up and robbed by three husky fellows in Chicago one night last week. Just as he was leaving the home of a friend he was ordered to hold up his hands and while two of the robbers covered him with revol­ vers the third relieved him of his overcoat, gold watch and all the money he had on his person.

THANKSGIVING BALL To Be Given at Stoffel's Hall Thurs- '. day Evening, Nov. 29 The annual Thanksgiving ball, given by and for the benefit of the McHenry Baseball club, will be held at Stoffel's hall on Thursday evening of next week, Nov. 29. This is an annual event that has been given by the Baseball club for several years past and one which has never failed to provide art enjoyable evening for the large crowds that have turned out. In connection with this dance the question has been asked "Why a dance is held for the benefit of the Baseball club when it might be given for the benefit of other pur poses." In' explanation we have been asked to say that there are still sev­ eral unpaid bills against the club and with the treasury depleted the mem­ bers of the club decided that a bene fit dance would probably help them out and enable them to square all out­ standing accounts against the club. The management has already en­ gaged Walsh's orchestra of Chicago, which will be on hand with music for both the new as well as the old dances, thus affording young and old a like opportunity of enjoying the occasion. Wm. G, Schreiner has again kindly consented to act as floor manager and prompter, which assures the older folks of a number of the good old square dances, which they always enjoy so much. This does not mean that the young will be left out en­ tirely as all of the new dances will also be on the program. Music will start at 8:30 o'clock, sharp, and dance tickets will sell at $1.00 each. Don't forget the date and place. You are cordially welcome.

Up to the time of going to press we have been unable to obtain the correct score, altho we are informed that our boys held the losing end. There will be no change in the time> table for the' present.
