Barbian of this village, will be of interest to his many friends here: Trier, Germany, April 1, 1919. Dear Sis--Received your letters some time ago and" would have answered them sooner, but have been on a furlough. Gertie, I certainly had a fine trip, went to Monte Carlo on the Italian border in the south of" France. You surely have heard of it, the greatest gambling resort in the world; also a great winter resort. Saw the Alps in Switzerland ai is at Nice and Mentone. The weather there is great. Always about 75 to 80 degrees in the shade. The trees are beautiful and just loaded with fruit--oranges, lemons and apples, also aloe tfrees and palms. I took a trip into Italy, but not very far, as the military police stopped us, but anyway I saw some of it. Nice is on the Mediterranean sea and it is^beautiful. It is also a great resort. I was in the gambling casino at Monte Carlo. They only allow us United States soldiers one hour, from 8:30 a. m. to 9:30 a. m We surely had one is well time. I sent you some views from there. There is something doing all the time, band concerts in the morning, dancing in the afternoon and shows at night. We stayed at the finest hotel there. All this trip was paid for by Uncle Sam. Wasn't that nice of him ? Well, Sis dear, I will ring off for this time, hoping this finds you and John in the best of health. Remem ber npe with best regards to all. As ever, Frank. St. Clara Court Installs The newly elected officers of: St. Clara court, W. C. O. F., of this village were installed at Stoffel's hall last Thursday afternoon, Mrs. Cath erine Freund, of the court, having charge of the work, and was ably assisted by the drill team with Mrs, J. C. Bickler in charge. The work, we are told, was the very best ever seen in McHenry and those respou sible for the success of the occasion are to be congratulated. *St. Clara court, which is the mother court in McHenry county, bears that distinc tion with the largest membership as well as being a leader in all social and welfare activities. At the con elusion of the work, Rev. Edward Berthold, pastor of St. Mary's churob, addressed the ladies. Dur ing the course of his talk he praised the officers vand members for the fine work that has been done during the thirteen years that the court has been in existence and also expressed the hope that the good work would be continued. The occasion came to close with tbe serving of refresh ments at Woodman hall. The mem bers also presented Mrs. J. C. Bick ler with a nice purse in recognition qf her faithful and efficient services rendered the court during the eight consecutive years that she held the office of financial secretary. 4 Died of Wound* - Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Ward (this village are in receipt of the sad news telling of the death of Thomas L. Curtis, a former cigarmaker em ployed at the Barbian Bros, factory in this village.
