Government secret service men paid a visit to Woodstock last week and as result there will be some names scratched off the payroll at the Oliver factory. Two pronounced German sympathizers were warned to keep quiet or they would be gathered in by Uncle Sam.

NoW that a state of war exists be­ tween the United States and Germany the citizens of the village of McHenry and the surrounding country are showing more plainly than ever before their loyalty to this government and their flag. While everyone dreads even the mention of war, we are sure that the young men of McHenry and the sur­ rounding country are loyal to the core and they will tender their services to their country as did their ancesters during former wars. While the greater part of McHenry township's population consists of German-Amer­ ican, it can never be said that we faltered when it came to a real crisis. The Civil war saw McHenry town­ ship do her bit in supplying men for the army and in going over the names of Civil war veterans we find the names of many German-Americans. Again during the Spanish-American war we find that the German-Ameri­ cans of this ^ownship responded most willingly to the call for volunteers and at this time we feel equally sure that the German-Americans here can be depended upon to do their duty. As previously stated, we have never heard anyone say that they loved war, but now that our nation has been en­ dangered it is the duty of every able bodied American to do his part. While it is true that all are not fitted for army life, this should not deter them from serving the country in other ways. The crops of the country will play an important part in the war and it is up to the farmer to see to it that every foot of serviceable land is placed under cultivation this spring. The farm laborers should also see the importance of a good crop this season and extra efforts should be made by them during the coming growing sea­ son. While we do not deem it neces- ive our people a long ser- and crops, we do wish to The man who has a savings account is prepared to take advan" tage of Opportunities when they offer.
