Mr. Edinger is 28 years old, married, has two young children and resides with his family at Woodstock, Illinois: , • Since the close of the waiy Edinger has been employed at the Oliver Typew riter Factbrv. He inlisted in the National Guard in 1913 and became a Lieuteipnt in December, 1914, and a First Lieutenant in November, 1917. He serv ed with the National Guard on the Mexican Border in 1916 and was called out with Company G, on July 25, 1917, for service in the World War. He sailed for France in May, 1918, and served in the front line trenches until the close of the war, being stationed on the Somme and Argonne fronts. During much of the time that Company G. was in France Lieut. Edinger was in command of the company. Mr. Edinger is the only, ex-service man who is a candidate at this time for the office that he seeks. He is clean, honorable, intelligent and efficient McHenry County has honored one of her former service men in the person of Charles F. Hayes, our Circuit Clerk, who has demonstrated by his conduct of that office that the boys who fought in France are as capable of filling civil positions at home as are those who stayed at home during the war. The training had by Lieut Edinger during his war service, part of which time he was in command of a Company of 250 men while under the enemy fire at the front, was a valuable experience for him and his friends believe has fitted him for public service in his home community. Among his most ardent supporters for the office of Sheriff of McHenry Couiity are the men who served with and under him overseas. They speak in highest praise of his loyalty and devotion to duty, his capabilities, intelligent moral and physical firmness and fearlessness in the most difficult emergency and his pleasing and lovable personality. These are some of the masons'why his fellow ex-service comrades urge his candidacy to the favorable consideration of the men and women voters of McHenry county. Personally, Lieut. Edinger is no politician, knows but little about .politics and his aim in seeking office ist to serve well the people should th&y see fit to honor him with this preferment VOTE FOR For I hereby announce myself a candidate for the office o# assessor for the town of McHenry and will appreciate the support of the voters at' the coning election.

We w i s h , t o . . . . be remembered to all our McHenry!0* m'"sslonary 8ervice m •hi laid out there like a checker with the dykes dividing the several plate of land and making irrigation of the rice crops possible. In the background we see a long range of mountains with their multitude of forms and color to testify to the beauty of their maker, with their fortitude and strength to challenge stand and start doing business in the middle of the street. To add to this clutter you may find a row of beggars sitting along there with their moan and wail, or sometimes one throws himself into the middle of the street get more attention. You have more sympathy for dives after you've seen a lot of oriental beggars. You may ask me how many out of every hundred people we pass has enough education to read the newspaper and I will tell you not more than ten. Or you may ask me "After fifty years Chinkiang what percentage of these people that we pass on the street are Christians?" I will reply, "Three out of a thousand." When you have gone thru this street you will begin to see that there is still something to be desired in this venerable civilization of four thousand years in age. We will not have time to visit the missions today, so will hope that I may have the pleasure of showing you thru our work some other day. Till then, I remain as ever, Cordially yours, S. J. Harrison.

Moat of the trees, however, are bare. : < We wilt take a look first at our front porch. Looking to the right we see two hills, the nearer one being the location of the W. F. S. S. hospital and school, the further one at a distance of perhaps two and a half miles being the location of a Chinese fortress overlooking the river. Between these two hills lays the city of Chinkiang with a population of from 200,000 to 300,000 people, but invisable from this point. Straight ahead of us we see just the end of the Chinese city, the railroad station, a stretch of level plain and beyond that the Yangtze river, at this point over a mile wide and 180 feet deep, one of the greatest waterways in the world, j ROOMS FOR RENT Inquire of or To our left we see in the foreground : wr*te Mrs. Mary Simon, „ McHenry, the fields of the Chinese farmers, all!
