The war has caused prices on all produce to advance. Insure good crops by using proper precautionary methods when planting the seeds. Grain smut and potato scab can be destroyed through the use of ' i Formaldehyde This is not a theory, but a well proven fact. For­ maldehyde is recommended for this purpose by the government. To insure best results it is necessary that the best grade of formaldehyde be used. We have the best grade, We can also furnish the beat grade of Blue Stone to those who prefer its use for destroying smut. N. H.

In common with other Catholic churches of the world, "Pray For Peace" Sunday will be properly ob­ served at St. John's church here next Sunday. The services will be contin ued all day and evening. * Next Saturday is caucus day and, in view of the fact that two of our re spected residents are candidates for the same office, quite a number of our voters expect to make a trip to Mc­ Henry to register their, vote for the man of their choice. Farmers in this vicinity have been approached by Mr. McFadden. who is desirous of reopening the McHenry canning factory. He would like to have the farmers grow sweet corn to be delivered at the McHenry factory, but at the present writing he has re­ ceived but little encouragement here. All of the patrons of the Weiland Dairy company are once more in the fold and they will continue to deliver their milk to the local plant for the next six months at least. While the prices are lower than those offered by other concerns, the farmers are given the privilege of taking home the skim milk, which they are glad to have the opportunity of doing. As a matter of fact, the patrons are quite satisfied with the new arrangement. Those from a distance who attended the funeral of Mrs. Margaret Scheid here last Wednesday were the follow­ ing: Mesdames Margaret Kisgen, Eliz­ abeth Knoll, O. Kufman, Andrew Stark and daughter, Evelyn, Mrs. Jernick, Mr. and Mrs. Jos.*PevoBky and daughter, Lillian, Mr. and Mrs. Fred Lang, Mr, and Mrs. Chris. Brem­ er and Messrs. William Scheid and Florance and George Kisgen, all of Chicago, and Mr. and Mrs. Peter Scheid of Crystal Lake. A report has been circulated in neighboring towns, especially in Mc­ Henry, to the effect that our church has been condemned, and we want to say that there isn't any truth to the reports. It will be remembered that an explosion of the boiler, which heats the structure, took plaoe ,some little time ago, but so far as is known no particular damage was done to the building at the time. The reports are to the effect that the walls and part of the roof of the edifice are unsafe. It is true that services are being held at the parish hall, but this is done for the simple reason that the heating plant was put out of commission by^the explosion and the damage has not as yet been repaired. According to pres­ ent plans, the boilers will not be re­ placed for the present at least, as the pastor and church trustees are now formulating a plan by which a system may be installed that will heat all of the buildings belonging to St. John's parish. Mra. Mirfirtt Scheid Mrs. Margaret Scheid, who for over a half century resided in Johnsburgh and the immediate vicinity, passed away at the home of her son, George Scheid, near Griswold lake on Monday of last week, she being eighty-seven years and nine months of age at the time of her death. The deceased, who was one of the early settlers of this locality, was born at Trier, Germany, on June 11, 1827. When still in her teens her family left their native land for America, landing in New York City after a most heart­ rending ride across the ocean of waters. The family remained in Buffalo, N, Y., two years, after which they came West, stopping ifi Chicago. The subject of this sketch remained in Chicago some time and in October, 1843, ahp was united in marriage to Georgtt Scheid, the ceremony having been performed at St. Peter's l^toman Catholic church, in that city. After her marriage, she, with her husband, came to. Johnsburgh' to make her home and here she continued to reside on a farm until the death of her husband on Dec. 14, 1882. After her husband's d^ath she moved to our little hamlet where she lived until six years ago, when her health began to fail. About this time she gave up house­ keeping and went to the home of her son, George, with whom she made her home for about two and one-half years. She then went to Chicago to live with her daughters. She returned from Chicago last smmer, since which time she resided with, relatives and friends here and at McHenry while the past few weeks of her life were spent in the home of her son, George. The funeral took place from St. John's Catholic church here at eleven o'clock on Wednesday morning of last week, Rev. Chas. Weber, pastor of the church, olliuiating. Interment was made iu the family lot in the cemetery adjoining, beside the remains of her late husband. A large concourse of relatives and friends turned out to pay their last, respects to one whom they had always loved and respected. The floral contributions were many and costly. As stated at the beginning of this biographical sketch, the deceased was one of the early settlers of this locality and went thru the many hardships that confronted the pioneers in those days. Johnsburgh at that time consisted of only a few families and no one, except those who lived in those days, can fully realize the conditions that existed. Mrs. Scheid leaves to mourn her besides a host of friends, eight chil­ dren as follows: Mrs. Margaret Kisgen, Mrs. Fred Lang, Mrs. Klizabeth Knoll, Mrs. Jos. Pevosky, Mrs. Chris Bremer and William Scheid, all of Chicago; George and John Scheid, who reside in rural territory to McHenry. She also leaves fifty-three grandchildren and thirty-four great-grandchildren. * CARD OF THANKS We hereby wish to extend our heart­ felt thanks to all friends and relatives who extended their sympathy and kindness during the hours of our sad bereavement.

Pr*m Behind th« Bar An ex-saloonkeeper, writing recent­ ly in the Oregon Daily Journal, says: I know many thousands of saloon­ keepers in the United States, but I have yet to hear one express an opin­ ion favorable to his own calling. He will say, 'Well, I'm in it for the mon­ ey and just as soon as I get enough of that I'll quit the business.' Only re­ cently a down town saloonkeeper said to me, 'Just one day and night spent in a saloon would make a temperance advocate of anyone.' I'm not a church­ man. but I will say that my tongue and pen while life lasts will be used in favor of temperauce, to make some small amends for the worse than wast­ ed years I spent behind the saloon bar/' BMIKAUI) PARK.
