March 28, 1918. Dear Mother mm! All--Today I re­ ceived your letter dated March 3; al­ so a nice letter from Judge Smiley. I hope the mail keeps coming and that the packages also arrive. I am still enjoying the candy Miss Griffin sent. 'x-- By this time I ^uppose spring is just about there and the work be­ ginning in the garden. Things are pretty lively hete and I hope to see some of it. March 20, 1918 Today 1 got more mail. Am en­ closing some picture. Today went out on "bikes," but to wet to work, so we went to a small village and sat down at the table, twenty of us and our French lieutenant. 'We had jam, bread, coffee and a little wine. When we went back we sang a bunch of old songs, "Home Sweet Home," "My Old Kentucky Home," etc. Even if we can't be home we can sing about it anyway. I got my lost trunk yesterday and in good condition. It surely made me feel good. I was also lucky in an­ other way, too. While going full speed my horse, in rounding a short corner, slipped and down we went. His whole side and mine were in the dirt at the same time, but 1 did not budge an inch out of the saddle. Of course he was laying, full weight on my left leg, but as the dirt was very soft and my leg was straight under him, 1 did not even get bruised and after%the horse got up and cralloned off 1 got up, lucky, but dirty. April 1, 1918. I just got back from , where we spent the week end and went to the theatre, three of us in one of the boxes, and we sat there from 8:30 to 11:00 p. m. Not hav­ ing seen anything like this we enjoyed it even if we could not understand it. We saw lots of Americans in this place. Today surely was a lucky day for me in the way of mail, as I got six letters. It's fine to get so much mail. I am enjoying that raspberry, jam now. I surely was lucky to get my trunk. I will send some prints soon of some new pictures I took a couple of weeks' ago. Have a lot of letters to write. Give my best to all the folks and tell Newell I'll be back to eat another goose" and hope to brfbig some relics to show him. ^ Alford.

PRODUCE AND COSERVE FOOD Boys and Girls of the County Are Asked to Help Win. the War " .• " -V »• The war department is calling the boys to fight for us. The war depart­ ment is also calling for production and conservation of food. The agri­ cultural department is not calling the boys and girls to fight for us, but is asking them to produce and conserve food. McHenry county now has thirty-six boys' and girls' clubs organized with about three hundred members. There is a Corn and Canning club in nearly every township and also a Canning club in most of the larger towns of the county. We also have some garden clubs organized. 1 Uncle Sam calls oik the boys and girls of the county to help win this war by doing some kind of organized club work. We are not able to make a personal visit to every boy and girl in the county so we are making this appeal to every patriotic boy and girl be­ tween the ages of ten and eighteen, asking them to join their nearest club. If they do not know what club to join, write this office and we will enroll them in their nearest club. Anyone interested in this work and wishing information in regard to it, will receive same by addressing Thomas H. Murray, Emergency Co. Club Leader, Woodstock, III Concerning Soldier Boys Ch^s. C. Schoonmaker, son of the former editor of The Plaindealer, is now in action at the western front "over there." Altho nothing definite has been received of late, his relatives and friends in McHenry are of the opinio-i that George Schreiner, stationed at Camp Custer, Mich., is on the road to recovery after a severe attack of pneumonia. Alvin Kimball of Wauconda, who for twe years was a member of the McHenry Baseball club, has quit the Oliver factory at Woodstock and is now at Peoria, 111., where he is taking a special two months' course for machinists, having enlisted in the U. army. William Bowen of Elgin, who has many friends in McHenry, is now lo­ cated at Rich Field, Waco, Texas, where he is crew chief at the aviation school. /Bill" became familiarly known to our people while a ipember of the McHenry baseball team. He went to Camp Grant last October. In November he was transferred to the aviation section at San Antonio, Texas, and three weeks later to the welding department of an acetylene company at Jersey City, N. J. Aft­ erwards he was sent to Rich Field. Guy Bacon has just written his folks from Urbana that Is has sue- Have You a Manure Pile? IF you have, get it out on -jz6ur field where it will do some 1 good. No, not with a wagon. You waste a full third of it if you do it that way, and you have a hard, dirty, disagreeable job besides. The easy way is the paying way. Get a Low Corn King spreader that will tear the manure into small pieces, discharge" its load in four to seven minutes, and spread it in an even coat over the En­ tire Surface of the ground, v That's the way to use stable manure. Then you can ^epend upon an increase of crop yields without having to plant mor^ acreage than you K^fre for. Look at present prices of farm produce. Raise all you can. Buy and use a ^ "Low Corn King Manure Spreader Wheels just the right distance apart, and spread wide enough to top dress three rows of corn at once. Three sizes--smalt, medium and large. All narrow boxes. All steel frames with working parts of the spreader securely attached to the frame. Turns short. Drive from both rear wheels. Return apron driven by worm gearv which insures even spreading up hill and down. Pull comes straight on steel frame. Solid two-inch rear axle working in roller bearings carries seventy-five per cent of the load. All steel beater cannot warp, shrink or rot. Built up to International Harvester standards of quality in every respfect. Buy a Corn King spreader and use it. The increased yield from a few acres will pay for your spreader thif yeajf.
