V Sip WmmwWfWTmm~ an appeal Prta. of Illinois Cornell P»fwrt«Te>chtr Association of stirring: appeal to all Illinois women to five their- strong: support to the Red Cross seal campaign has been issued by Mrs. Harry Fleming, president of the Illinois council of Parent-Teacher association. In her anneal she speaks from personal knowledge of the work that is being done for school children thru the expenditure of Red Cross seal funds and of the vital need for extending the work the ensuing year. "It takes more than belief in a project to make it a success." Believing thoroly in the work of the Illinois Tuberculosis association in its contractive efforts to educate the people of our state in the care and prevention of tuberculosis, and knowing that \ the* returns" from the sale of Red Cross Christinas seals is their only source of support let us not only believe, but let us work to make the 1919 campaign a success. Five years ago this work was in its infancy and thfere was not a single sanatorium in our state outside of Chicago which was supported by public money. Now forty counties in Illinois provided local tuberculosis sanatoriums. J m•. Our quota is forty million seals this year in Illinois and we can certainy attain this and even' more. Our record will be 100 per cent and the 1919 campaign will go "Over the Top."

Miss Barber, of the grammar department of our public school, received the sad news one day last week of the death of her brother in California. The Thanksgiving party at the Riverside House is said to have been one of the most pleasant held in that popular dancing recort in many a day. There were 152 couples present. Hon. F. K. Granger and wife were pleasantly reminded on Sunday evening last that they had been married just twenty-five years by their children presenting them with a fine solid silver tea set. They were both pleased and surprised. SCHOOL DESTROYED TjY FIRE BUCKWHEAT There are many brands of pure buckwheat flour and that they are pure buckwheat there is not a doubt. The manufacturers do not dare to adulterate them. But there is a vast difference in the taste of these different brands. We do not manufacture the kiln dried variety, with the natural flavor killed and dried out of it, but we do manufacture it in the good old fashioned way, with the natural flavor still in it.

New rules are in effect this year. Trappers are warned not to go trapping without having taken out a trapping license, as the mere possession of a hunting license will not suffice this year. The new game laws for far bearing animals have been changed this year and read as follow: To disturb, mutilate or destroy the house or den of any fur bearing animal or to'cut down or into any tree containing the den of any fur bearing animal, except where such house or den obstructs a public or private ditch or water course. To use spurs or any like device in the hunting or taking of fur bearing animals or to use explosives, chemicals or mechanical devices or smokers of any kind to drive such animal from the dens or houses or to use ferrets or to have a ferret in your possession in a field or forest or in any vehicle on the highway going to or from hunting territory or to kill fur bearing animals from any automobile or vehicle of any kind or by the use of lights. • The penalty is a fine from $16 to $100 and imprisonment of not to exceed twenty days. The required licenses may be obtained at any time from' Wm. <5. Schreiner at McGee and Conway's store. In a recent interview with Mr. Schreiner he hais issued thirty-seven trappers' licenses and 492 hunters' licenses. This is fair warning to the local sportmen and if there is any one who does not understand we hope it will not be necessary for the game warden to make this section a visit to impose a fine or penalty.

J. MILLER McHENRY, ILL. The old Gray school, one of the first school buildings in the northeastern section of Illinois, was de stroyed by fire Tuesday morning at Woodstock. An over heated furnace pipe is thought to have, been the cause of the blaze. The building, which has stood since 1867, was used by grade school classes and housed about 348 pupils It stood a few feet from the new high school building and the latter was heated by the same plant. The fire was discovered at two o'clock and by eight o'clock all hope of saving the old building was given up and all efforts turned towards the new buildings. Low water pressure due to shortage of coal, hampered the firemen considerably in their work.

S. army. The local physician and surgeon, as many of our readers will remember, served fifteen months in the medical corps during the late war and only returned to, resume his practice here a few weeks ago. During his absence he was stationed at Columbia, S. C., and on interviewing him we were told that the experience gained while in the service is considered priceless by him and needless to say that he is not nor never will be sorry for the months that he put in for Uncle Sam in the East. While in the service he was in almost constant touch with at least five of the very best medical men in their respective lines in this country and by working with them all those months he has become rich in knowledge that he might never have gained had this opportunity not presented itself. During his actual service he bore the rank of first lieutenant and the promotion in the medical reserve corps comes, no doubt, in recognition of the faithful arid efficient services rendered his country during the trying months in which she was engaged in war. His many friends thruout this entire community will be pleased to learn of the doctor's promotion and offer their choicest congratulations.

Read The Plaindealer and posted on local happenings. Coal shortage is the vital question of the hour. In some of the neighboring cities and towns most strenuous measures have had to be taken because of lack of coal. An order has reached here thru the Public Service company that no light is to be allowed in display windows or display signs. McHenry is surely to be effected by the shortage. At the county seat the Oliver typewriter factory has closed and the Woodstock factory about to close. The Terra Cotta factory, it is expected, will clqse soon, so as an estimate about fifty working people of McHenry will be directly effected by the existing conditions. Woodstock has ordered all business places to close at 5:30 every afternoon until further notice to save light and fuel and it is said all of McHenry county is similarly effected. In talking with many of the business men of this village some have sufficient coal for the winter and others, including the public school and Borden's, have enough to carry them thru until the holidays. Altho McHenry is effected, we do not realize what the situption is in the larger cities. m Women of McHenry McHenry's Store for Men and Boys is ready--ready in everything ttail the word implies.
