V ¥:- |>:/ r-:' i i l T , < ] & • < • »i f6^.' JOHNSBURG Frank Smith was a visitor in Mc­ Henry Wednesday. A dandy crowd of young folks at-s tended the dance at Smith's hall here last evening and everyone present had a fine time. Word has been received from Mrs. Geo. Nell, who, with her sons, is now t ̂ /"located at Tiffany, N. D. She is very "*well satisfied with the change, /'if Don't forget the May party to be (given by the Young Ladies' sodality , at the parish hall here next Tuesday evening. An invitation is extended to young and old and fine time is |*4 promised to all. Our farmers were a bit discouraged to waken up Wednesday morning and find that a heavy frost had visited them during the night. While Some / damage was done to the crops, the I/- fruit suffered most. fl • Mr. and Mrs. Stephen F. Schmitt, ' who moved here from the farm, are ' planning on taking a trip to the west <Jthe coming summer. They have rela- stives in Nebraska as well as Okla- p,.t • homa, whom they expect to visit. t/;A Dr. Arnold Mueller arrived at his %ome here from Chicago on Sunday ^ 'and is now slowly recovering from *5? *7' tlie effects of an operation for appen- dicitis, which was performed upon him in that city last week. The doctor has ; ^ not been feeling right for some time past and finally decided that an oper­ ation would be the only course to take. His many friends here hope that he may soon be able to resume his prac­ tice here. Every young man, married or sin­ gle, between the ages of 21 and 31, Iboth inclusive, is expected to register <on Tuesday, June 5. Failure on the 3>art of the young men to comply with this request means imprisonment of no less than one year. We are sure that each and every one of our young jmen within the ages named will com- • ply with the request. So far, as is inow known the registering places will 'be Woodman hall, Ringwood, and the •village hall, McHenry. One is ex­ pected to register in the precinct in which he votes. We are told thtt a resident living .between here and Spring Grove lost several pounds of smoked meat, which was tolen from his cellar on a recent might. Farmers are also complaining about losing chickens and over in the vicinity of Spring Grove one farmer has even discovered the lbss of cream from his cans. The opinion around here seems to be that this is the work of people residing in the neighborhood and if the thievery keeps up there is very apt to be a man hunt some of these nights and the Lord help the guilty party if caught in the act. ; m* [Britton, S. D., Sentinel] With saddened hearts we chronicle the passing to eternal rest of this young daughter, wife and mother. Passing in the very prime of life, with her future still the brightest, at a time when need for her was greatest, she was claimed by mystery of death. There is nothing human tongue can utter or pen inscribe that can explain or justify such an apparently untimely $all. But yet we know that he who tules us all,"who places us here, does all things for the best. Mary Wanken Frisby was born in Chicago, HI., on January 28, 1882, and died at her home in Wavely township on Tuesday, May 8, 1917, at noon, be­ ing at the time of her death 35 years, 3 months and 9 days of age. In childhood she moved with her parents to Eagle Grove, Iowa, where she grew to young womanhood. She then moved with her parents to Sioux Falls, S. D., where oh Oct. 22, 1903, she was married to Walter J. Frisby and came with him to. Britton as a bride, locating on a farm, and lived here until death. Her father, Matt. Wanken, preceded her to the great beyond a little more than two years ago. She leaves surviving an aged and sorrowing mother, a loving husband and nine little children: Clara, aged thirteen; John, eleven; Grace, ten; Robert, nine; Leo, eight; Mary, six; Anna, four, and Julia, three years, with Genevieve thirteen months of age, besides a host of other relatives and friends. A large concourse of sorrowing friends and neighbors escorted her re­ mains to the Britton Catholic church, where Father Amirault conducted the impressive funeral ceremonies and preached a wonderful sermon on the subject, "How Uncertain Is Life," and thereafter her remains were followed to the grave by an immense gathering of friends, How faulty are our thoughts, how helpless are our acts when thus we stand before disaster face to face and see fate .strike where it ought not, but rather should protect and shield; to see death strike a shining mark, a loving mother midst her flock of little ones, the noblest work of Go3. A widowed mother left bereft, a sor­ rowing husband who can never see the same old life again and they who need her most of all, her little ones, will never see their mother's face on earth. Yet will her memory live for she was good and noble; a model daugh­ ter, model wife and model mother. Altho unknown outside her home, her soul was cast in greatness' mold and she will live in her children's hearts while she looks down from starry vault and guides their footsteps thru this vale of tears. Full many a gem of purest ray serene, The dark unfathomed cave of ocean bear. Full many a flower is born to blush unseen, And waste its sweetness on the desert air. The boast of Heraldry, the pomp of power, And all that beauty, all that wealth e'er gave, Await alike the inevitable hour, The paths of glory lead but to the grave.

Toledo Subject to change without notin ••Made in V. S. A." The Willys-Overland factory takes no producer's word about the quality of materials. By thorough tests with most complete apparatus,expert chem­ ists and metallurgists at this • factory determine whether raw ^materials should be accepted or rejected. v All raw materia! must be proved right before it goes into . Willys-Overland cars. It is one off the most important ways of guarding you. For instance, carbon is essen­ tial to the strength of steel. A delicate operation is required to prove the presence of the right percentage. And this percent­ age differs in materials for dif­ ferent parts. Finished parts must then un­ dergo tests for durability. A ^achine of incredible power twists and wrenches rear axles rClo see if they have the required resisting power. With each end of a spring fastened into a pocket, powerful pressure is applied--a register tells whether it has the proper Strength, and resiliency. These are only a few qf the tests that serve as an insurance to owners of Willys-Overland cars. These cars are better pro­ tected than many higher priced cars. Tests cost money. The Wil­ lys-Overland Company can af­ ford to make the most exhaus­ tive tests because enormous pro­ duction makes it possible to divide the cost into small units for each car. - ffia --W Overton & Cowen AGENTS West McHenry, 111.
