Herman's or- POULTRY WANTED One Hundred Million Panada' For This Year X The 'American Poultry association, which held a two days' convention at Hg£el Sherman, Chicago, last Friday and Saturday, has placed a duty on all of its members and have urged all judges of the, American Poetry association to co-operate with the farmers and poultry fanciers in raising at least one hundred million pounds of poultry this year for the cause of. humanity. In order to in­ crease one pound of poultry meat for every man, woman and child in the United States, it will be necessary for the people in this locality to do their share by. raising at jeast 50,000 pounds more poultry meat this year than last, Let,us remember chickens are not manufactured. They have t<f be bred ahd raised. It is pretty hard to turn them out as a molder does castings. You sort of have to b e a pattern maker, putting your brains and hands into each individual, >and in order to do your share in feeding the world you must not lose a single one and you must mature them as early as possible in order to receive your re­ wards in not only cash, but doing your share to produce meat to feed the world. Remember, cattle and hogs are scarce and it must be the po'ultry raisers who will have to pro­ duce at least fifty per cent of" the meat ^this year. I kindly ask all to help and co-op­ erate with me in this most impor­ tant undertaking. Keep up your hatching tyru May and June. In order to interest and encourage you to do your share I will give a sil­ ver trophy cup to the farmer or poultry fancier in StcHenry towship who raises the largest number of pounds of poultry meat this year, to be awarded Oct. 1, 1917. I will be pleased to assist and co­ operate with, you at any time. Ed. L. Hayes, license judge and niember of .the American Poultry association. Social Dance The members of the McHenry Chapter, Order of Easter Star, an^ nounce a social dance to be held at StofFel's hall on Saturday evening, May 5, to which -they extend you a hearty invitation. The O. E. S. has given several very successful dancing parties here in the past and the com­ ing event promises to be even more enjoyable than previous occasions. The committee irf* charge is leaving out, the strike proved unsuccessful. At a patriotic rally held at the Lake Geneva opera house one even­ ing la§t week standing, room was at a premium. As a result of the gath­ ering five new members were added to the cavalry troop recently organ­ ized in that city. „ A big patriotic meeting and.flag raising will take place at Harvard ,next Saturday night. The flag will be hung across Harvard's principal bus­ iness street. N&ed speakers and the Walworth band have been (engaged for the occasion. Seven employes at the Borden milk bottling plant at Hebron quit their jobs lust week Jto accept positions ip the Woodstock factories. The fat pay envelopes at the county seat is undoubtedly the cause of the change made by the men. R. H. Randall of Woodstock, a pri­ vate in Company , C of the First Illinois Infantry, met death by drown­ ing in-the drainage canal at Argo, 111. The fatality occurred when the young man was brushed off a Baltimore & Ohio freight train as it was crossing a bridge over the canal. Wm. Hancock of Antioch has of­ fered <the use of one-half acre of land absolutely free of cost to married men of that village who will agree , to plant same to potatoes. Mr. Han­ cock owns about forty acres of land near that village, which rrrfans that eighty married men are given an op­ portunity to take advantage of this generous offer. The Grayslake Times' has again been made defendant in a $5000 slan­ der suit brought against it by C. E, Fenlon, an employe of the Wis­ consin Condensed Milk company's factory in tfiat city. This is the second $5000 suit that has been started against the Grayslake pub­ lication within a year. The editor of the Grayslake Tribune is the other complainant. William Ehlert, a flagman at Har­ vard, was fined $25 and coats for desecrating an American flag in fhat city one day last week. States At­ torney V. S. Lumley Qf Woodstock was notified of Ehlert's act and had the young man brought to Woodstock, where the fine was imposed. Besides the fine, the young man, upon request of the state's attorney, saluted the American flag over the court house and also carried an American flag around the square" in that city. He also carried a flag thru the principal streets of Harvard on his arrival in that city. chestra of Woodstock will furnish the music. Dance tickets, 75 cents. ** Joins Large Circus Walter Freund, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Peter J. Freund of this village, who during the past few years has made, quite a reputation for himself as a bag puncher, left last Saturday morning for Dixon, 111., where he joined the "Coop & Lent three ring circus. It will be remembered that Walter is totally blind, but m spite of this handicap he punches from one to ten bags with a skill seldom exhib­ ited by Iny bag puncher. We feel quite certain that the McHenry young man will make good as his act is the only one of its kind on the road to­ day. The circus will exhibit at Bel- videre tomorrow, Friday. Class to B. A.

While the' deceased .had been in declining health ftjr some time, the end was not looked for, as he was able to be up and around until the day of his death. In fact, he was able to ^ij|tk down town last Friday and no one, not even those nearest and dearest to him, was given an inkling that his end was so near until a few minutes -before he passed into the eternal rest. Roliin Waite was born at Cam­ bridge, Vt., on August 5, 1834. Here he spent hiss boyhood days. At the age of thirteen his parents came West, settling on a farm near Wau­ conda, where he restded for a number of years before coming to this village. Early in life he learned the carpen­ ter's trade, which vocatiop he fol­ lowed continuously, up to tne time of his appointment to the postmastership in McHenry. His appointment to this trustworthy position came in 1898, during the late President William Mc- Kinley's administration. During the time that he followed the carpenter's trade his services were ever in demand and a number of homes still stand in the village which serve as monuments of his ability in this line of wopk. Being of a pains­ taking nature and hy closely follow­ ing the fnotto, "What is worth doing is worth doing well," he was at alt times kept quite busy and as a result of thoroness in-his chosen line his business career proved a most suc­ cessful one. After years of faithful labor he retired from business activ­ ities and his appointment to the postmastership was well earned and deserving in every sense of "the word. For thirteen long years he served the public as postmaster and this un­ usually long service bears evidence of an efficient administration and proved beyond a shadow of a doubt that the careful attention he gave to the busi­ ness of the government was appre­ ciated. He was united in marriage to Mary A. Britain in this village on January 1, 1860. To this union seven children were born, four of whom aye living, as follows: Mrs. J. J. Vasey of Oak "Park, .111.; Glenn Grant of West Pull­ man, 111.; Grace Alice of this vil­ lage and Jay Earl Waite of Lake Geneva, Wis. Mr. Waite was initiated as a if the McHenry lodge, No. 158, on Feb. 11, 1865. He passed on April 8 and was raised on April 22 of the same year. In 1901 he acted as wor­ ship f«l master. As a citizen he was always held in the very highest esteem by our en­ tire population. His ambitionp in life were .ever directed toward^ the channels of righteousness and the things that stood for the betterment of humanity and his exemplary life will long remain in the memories of those who knew "him best. Politically l\p was a Republican and. a greater admirer of Ex-President Theodore Roosevelt never lived than the man of whom we speak. While never an office seeker, he was ever ready to assist and do whatever he could for the party with which he became affiliated upon reaching his majority. Besides the children above men­ tioned and a large circle of friends^, he leaves to mourn an aged and grief* | stricken wife, three sisters, Mrs. | Lucinda Scott and Mrs. Electa j Howard of Elgin, and Mrs. Eva j Rouse of Valparaiso, Ind.; also two > brothers, Charles Waite of St Louis, i Mo., and Wm. T. Waite of Kansas j City, Mo. A sister, Mrs. Cornelia i McCollum, preceded him in death by j only one week, she passing away at I her late home at Livingston, Mont.,, April 14. Seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren are also left to survive. The funeral took place from his. late home at two o'clock on Tuesday afternoon of this week with Masonic rites conducted by Calvary Command- ery, No. 25, Knight Templars of Woodstock. Besides the Woodstock commandery the members of the local lodge as well as brother Masons from nearby towns and cities turned out and escorted the remains to their deceased brother to their last resting place in Woodland cemetery. The services at the house were conducted by Rev. Vm E. Grose of Crystal Lake, pastor of the McHenry M. E. church. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holly sang most beautifully. Mrs. Holly sang "Homeland," while she and her husband also sang "Nearer My God to Thee." The funeral was attended byaWge STARS IN GRAND OPERA Miss Martha Bates Hatfield Wins Fame as a Singer Miss Martha Bates Hatfield, niece of Mrs. Alsena Smith and cousin to the Misses Granger of this village, has achieved considerable fame as a sing­ er at Kansas City, Kansas. Miss Hatfield visited McHenry a few years ago and during her stay here endeared herself to quite a num ber of our young people, to whom the following account of her appearance in grand opera will be of interest: The Kansas City Morning Times of last, Friday says: "By all means the best performance thus far in the current season of the Kansas City Grand Opera company was given last night in the Auditor ium theatre, when a new voice of un­ usual power and beauty was heard in the name part of 'Martha.' The in- spirationlthat is inseparable from the debut of a talented singer was felt on both sides of the foot lights, and Miss Martha Bates Hatfield, until last night wholly unknown to the public in Kansas City, won well deserved ap­ plause. Her voice is youthfully fresh, clear thruout an ample range, of even development and decidedly dramatic in quality. It Is a voice with very obvious possibilities in the greater roles--at least Elsa and Sieg- linde. "Miss Hatfield has been well taught. In the excitement and anxiety incident to a first appearance she anticipated the conductor's baton with great reg­ ularity, but all her faults--arid she displayed surprisingly few--were those of inexperience. A voice of lyric sweetness is expected in 'Martha' and particularly in 'The Last Rose of Summer,' but the richer tones were welcome, too, and the new soprano scored a triumph." 4 The Kansas City Journal speaks of her as follows: rqr. "The performance of Flotow's classic comedy opera by the Kansas City Grand Opera company at the Auditorium last night was by far the best production of 'Martha' which the, local singers have given since it was made a feature of their repertoire and in the recollection of present day the most thoroly delightful presenta­ tion which the opera has given operagoers. An unusually demonstra­ tive audience enjoyed every moment of the brilliant performance and not only applauded at very frequent inter­ vals, but insisted upon the repetition of several of the numbers, notably The Last Rose of Summer,' the 'good night* quartette and Lionel's touching aria, 'Dreams Ever Bright and Fair.' The honors of the performance must in fairness be assigned to the remarkably effective debut of Miss Martha Bates Hatfield in the title- name role. Miss Hatfield is the daugh­ ter of an Osborne, Kan., business man and she achieved a triumph which be­ gan with her first appearance and continued until tb© last note. She is a singer of the greatest promise. "Miss Hatfield hacKthe advantage of being supported in the role of 'Nancy' by Miss LeBaron, a singer who is an unbounded favorite with Kansas City audiences. This advan­ tage is greater than might be sup­ posed, for a weak 'Nancy' would de­ tract very measurably from her com­ panion." . ' SHEEHAN-MEYERS WEDDING SOLEMNIZED AT ST. PATRICK'S WEDNESDAY MORNING ^ Bride Is Only Daughter of Mr. ami Mrs. Patrick Sheehan of ^ngi Will Reside Here Philip Meyers* and Mh» Agnes Sheehan were married at St. Pat­ rick's church Wednesday morning, April 25, by the Rev.
