It must not be re* membered that we were found want­ ing: at the end of the war. A blot now on our fair record might dim the memories of the many glorious things that McHenry county has accom­ plished thruout the war. Surely'the county, which has con­ tributed so many men to the nation, and which has furnished several mil­ lion dollars to the various liberty loan and other war campaigns, will not let it be written when the finish came that it could not purchase the balance of its quota, $300,000.00 of war sav­ ings stamps. That would look like deserting odr soldiers at the very moment they had ceased risking their lives on the battle fields. To say the least, it would be a poor way of show- .ng our appreciation of all that the soldiers have done for us. The final drive begins tomorrow .Thanksgiving day). Let us offer up a real prayer of service for the wel­ fare of our boys by the purchase of a war stamp ($4.22). If such a prayer is made, one-half of the re­ mainder of McHenry county's quota will be subscribed before the drive starts. „ ' War savings stamps net the inves­ tor, if held until maturity, four and one-half per cent. These stamps may be registered just as any bond. Their value never Actuates. There are no coupons to cut or cash and January 1, 1923, they are worth their faoe value --$5.00. In case of adversity they njay be cashed--your money back ivith interest at three per cent. A happy combination, of business and patriotism. - ,V ; • With these facts before us, surely the people of McHenry county will purchase the remainder of their quota and keep our record perfect by wiping out the present defifcit during the drive from Thanksgiving to New Year's day. The splendid things which McHenry county has done during the war months demand that it shall not fail now. Elaborate plans have been made for the "over the top" drive. Why wait to be driven when we can reach our quota by buying our stamps now? Work with your local chair­ man. - He needs your help. See your postman, postmaster or banker. Grandson of Mrs. Waite Killed Corp. Harry W. Vasey of Oak Park was called to make the supreme sac­ rifice when he was killed in action while serving his country in France. The sacrifice was made on Nov. 3, just a week before the armistice was signed. He was twenty-three years of age and the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Vasey. He enlisted in May and went to Camp McArthur, Waco, Texas. In August he set sail for overseas with the fatal result that he will never return. Mrs. Vasey is the eldest daughter of Mrs. Mary Waite and a sister of Miss Alice Waite of this village. The Plain- dealer as well as their many friends extend sympathy to the bereaved ones and trust that they may find consola­ tion in the fact that their grandson and nephew died a martyr to his country, and no greater eulogy can be recorded.

One hundred and two names have been secured by John R. Knox, chairman of the committee in charge of the day's program. Judge C. P. Barnes of Woodstock will be th| speaker of the day and program, as planned before the the recent quarantine, will be carried out. The flag will be unfurled and fly across the street at the city hall. After the dedication all will fall in line and march to the Central opera house, where the speaker will be in­ troduced. The meeting will be on Tuesday afternoon ,and everybody in the com­ munity should turn out. This is a day set aside as peace day and should be fittingly observed, so let everybody do honor to the boys who are to be represented on the service flag. Relatives of the boys in service will be given preference in the line of march and in the seated assembly at the Central opera house. Local talent will- assist with the program thruout the services. > These boys were picked in the south half of McHenry township and this was their voting precinct. The north half includes those voting in Johns- burg and Bingwood and therefore they claim the honor of representing them on their service flags. The following list of soldiers have been compiled and submitted by John R. Knox.

Don't Forget Your Pledge We are informed that there are quite a number of people in and around McHenry who last spring pledged themselves to buy a certain amount of war savings and thrift stamps and who, up to the present time, have failed to keep their pledges, and therefore we are asked to urge those who have not bought stamps to do so at their earliest convenience, as McHenry's quota must be made up between now and the first of the year.

GIVENS WAS BORN WAUCONDA IN 185» AT Reaided In This Village F«r a Period ef Twenty-one Years Leavee Wife and Four Children Chas. Givens, a resident of this village for the past twenty-one years pissed peacefully away at his home on Elm street last Thursday morning, NTov. 21, 1918, at 12:30 o'clock. Deceased was born at Wauconda December 23, 1859, and was the youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Richard Jrivens. At the age of eight years he moved with his parents to a farm outheast of this village and continued -o reside there until his marriage. On October 27, 1897, he was united n marriage to Miss Mouie Frisby, laughter of the late J. B. and Mrs. frisby of this village* The cere- nony was performed by Rev. P. M. J'Neil at St. Patrick's Catholic church here and they commenced housekeep ing in this village, where they have înce resided. Soon after settling here he secured employment at the Terra Cotta fac­ tory, later he was employed at the Borden factory for seven years and for tiie past five years has been an employe at the Wilbur Lumber com­ pany yard, resigning on account of ill health last August. Mrv Givens had not enjoyed robust health for years and the past few months he declined rapidly, altho he ..as not confined to his bed only for a few hours before his departure He was conscious and considerate of those attending him until the last and never was a more peaceful recon ciliation to His Holy will witnessed by those at his bedside. "As a man lives so shall he die." No greater example of Christian piety and Catholicity could be shown thru life than that practiced by the de­ ceased. Mr. Givens was not only kind and devoted to his wife and family, but was always pleasant and agreeable with neighbors and friends and those associated with him in every day life possessed more than a friendly at­ tachment and at the news of his death grieved for him as a brother. His father dying while he was still in his teens, he assumed the care of the farm home and his mother lived with her son and family until her death a few years ago. He is survived by a wife and four children, Donald, John, Leone and Kathleen, baby Monica having pre­ cede him five years ago. Two sisters •and a brother also survive him, Mrs Emma McGinnis of Elgin, who kept vigil in his last hours; Mrs. Michae! Cronin of Algonquin and Richard of Elgin, all of whom were hare to at­ tend the funeral. His funeral services were held at St. Patrick's church Friday morning, Rev. M. J. McEvoy officiating. The Catholic Order of Foresters, of which he was a member, attended in a body. The church was crowded with friends and relatives, who came to pay their last respects and to assist at the requiem mass celebrated for the re­ pose of his soul. The body was laid to rest in the cemetery adjoining. The pall bearers were life long friends of the deceased, as follows: Tack Walsh, Wm. J. Welch, Geo. Frisby, Wm. Quinn, Jas. Hughes and M. A. Conway " The family has the sympathy of all in the loss of a kind and affectionate husband and father. Attend the Penny Social Members of Fox River Valley camp, R. N.

The visitors not only outweighed the home eleven, Lut also outplayed them at every stage of the game, especially after the first quarter, when it became very evident that the county seaters were too much for our lads. During the first quarter McHenry put up a good article of ball and suc­ ceeded in holding the Woodstock lads scoreless. With the beginning of the second quarter, Carl Bickler, one of McHenry's most dependable men, was put out of the game with a badly wrenched ankle and with him out of the line-up the team displayed a re­ versal of form and went down to de­ feat. While McHenry put up a hard game to keep the score at a respectable looking figure, the team showed a de­ cided lack of knowledge of the pas­ time and passed up many opportu­ nities for gains. However, the boys are scarcely to be blamed as without a coach and apparently no one to teach them even the rudiments of the game, the result is not surprising. Woodstock, too, was made up to a great extent of first-year men, but with the advantage of a good coach and apparently considerable practice they put up a fair article of ball and are deserving of all the credit that usually accompanies victory. McHenry, with Bickler out of the game, depended almost entire^ upon George Barbian, who is responsible for our best gains and who, under proper tutorship, should develop into a fast man. Albert Justen and Clif­ ford Buss were the other two ground gainers for the locals, while "Smithy" of Woodstock proved the shining light for the visitors. While there is a dearth of football material in our school this year, the present team could be developed greatly with the aid of a good coach and it seems a shame that the boys, who are all willing workers, should go thru the season without the assis­ tance of someoi.e to teach them the game as it should he ptayed. JUDGMENT FOR VOLO VICTIM Judge Awards Defendant In Famous - Vole Case $1709.31 , ' ' A fhdgment for $1709.31: awarded the defendant, Mrs. John Richardson, by Judge Edwards of Waukegan in the circuit court on Wednesday of last week and in refer­ ence to same the Waukegan Daily Sun of last Wednesday's issue had the following to say: "An echo of the famous Volo rail- riding case, which occurred in west­ ern Lake county about four years ago, was heard in circuit court today, when Judge Edwards affirmed the judgment of $1,709.31 against Che estate of the late Lovina Raymond and in favor of Mrs. Minnie Richardson, the victim of the rail riding incident.
