Barrington has now perfected a company of Home Guards, which meets once each week for drilling and instructions. ' The Spring Grove branch of the American Red Cross society cleared $190 at a carnival given in that village one night recently. A class of fifty received confirma­ tion at St. Mary's Catholic church at Woodstock on Monday. afternoon. Bishop P. J. Muldoon of Rockford of­ ficiated and the event was attended by many visiting clergymen. Work on Hebron's new stock yards has begun. The yards have been moved from their former location, near the heart of the-business section; to a point some distance down the railroad tracks. A good move. The Grayslake drug store, which during the past seventeen ygars has been under the successful manage­ ment of Miss Florence J. Druce, has been sold to Philip Hildebrandt. a suc­ cessful pharmacist of Chicago. A large bell, recently erected at "Shorty's" place at Grass Lake now rings at six o'clock every morning. The ringing of the bell tells the hunt­ ers that the sun has officially risen and that they are allowed to shoot Sheldon Law, a Woodstock barber, was shot while in the act of tamper­ ing with a motorcycle owned by Clar­ ence Wilson one night last week. He is now awaiting the action of the grand jury. His injury was only slight. Chief Yoeman M. L. H. Smith of the Great Lakes Naval station dropped dead at Philadelphia, Pa., a week ago last Friday, where he had been sent on a business mission. Mr. Smith was a brother to Frank and William Smith of the Waukegan Deity Sun. Company G., I. N. G., of Woodstock is no more. The company is now a part of the 129th United States Infan­ try. The company is still at Camp Logan, Houston, Texas. A number of men from Camp Grant were trans­ ferred to the T^exas camp this week. Lake Geneva's third annual farm­ ers' fair was held in that city one day recently and proved the biggest and best yet held. The exhibits in all de­ partments were the best ever shown in that city and as a result the fair has gone into history as a most suc­ cessful event. Maurice DeVry pt Chicago, who caught Felch's home-run hit in the left field bleacher in the first game of the world's series in Chicago, was in Marengo last week, where he exhib­ ited the ball which, it is expected, will bring the American Red Cross society thousands of dollars. Four men, all of whom were born in Germany, were arrested at Lake Gen­ eva, Wis., on Tuesday of last week. They are charged with making sedi­ tious utterances. They are now be­ ing held at the Milwaukee police cta- tion, pending further investigation by the dep«rtment of justice. Twenty-two young ladies of Barring- ton are now employed in the general offices of the C. & N. W. Railway com­ pany. Since the company has trans­ ferred its offices from the loop to Ravenswood the young ladies are mak­ ing daily trips to and from work. Three young men of Barrington are also employed in the offices. G. Christianson, residing on a farm near Crystal Lake, received a pistol wound in a most peculiar manner one night last week. While sitting near a table, upon which lay a loaded pistol, his sotr threw a pocket, knife in such a manner that it struck the hammer of the revolver and discharged the weap­ on. The bullet entered the victim's arm at the wrist. Francis Willie, aged fourteen, and George Sinderson, aged seventeen, both of Harvard, are now lying in the hospital in that city as a result of gun shot wounds received while out hunting last Sunday afternoon. The accident happened when a gun in the hands of Ray Hare, a thirteen-year- old bfty, was accidentally discharged. He is believed to have stumbled. For­ tunately the buckshot was lodged in the boys' legs and therefore their la- juries are not very serious. A committee of business and pro­ fessional men of Wauconda were re­ cent guests of the DeSmet Quartz Tile company at their Chicago office and were shown thru several buildings in that city, where their product has been used. The committee was very favorably impressed with what they saw and reported, on their return home, that Wauconda had landed a factory that has an exceptionally bright future before it. Work on the new factory building here is progress­ ing very favorably. Sunday, October 21, Will Be Obeerved LIBERTY LOAN IP MEET GATHERED AT COURT HOUSB IN WOODSTOCK MONDAY Nelson Bros, of potatoes on will have a ear load the tracks Saturday, Everybody is invited to attend the Royal Neighbor dance at Stoffel's hall ' Saturday ovtming Oct 27 Next Sunday, October 21, has been set aside as Liberty Loan Sunday and every clergyman in the United States is expected to observe the day as such. The Plaindealer will print leaflets containing the national air, "Star Spangled Banner," and same will be distributed among the pastors of all the churches in McHenry county with the request that it be sung during the services next Sunday morning. Besides the singing of the national air, every church is also expected to toll its* bells for ten minutes in the morning. Just what time the ringing of bells will take place in McHenry has not been decided upon as yet, al- tho the different pastors will receive instructions from T. J. Walsh, the local liberty loan chairman. It has also been suggested that the unfurl mpf of the stars and stripes in the church, at private residences and bus­ iness houses take place. ' This is another means of reminding the public in general that our country is at war and that the co-operation of every citizen must be had to bring the war to an early end and to ONE GRAND VICTORY FOR THE UNIT­ ED STATES AND OUR ALLIES. This is not a local arrangement, but one which will be exercised thruout every state in the union, so everyone should make their plans to assist in this honorable undertaking. Every true American patriot should attend church next Sunday and thereby show, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that we ire all standing shoulder to shoulder in this gigantic task. Let us hope that McHenry will show her true American spirit by making Liberty Loan Sunday an event that will go down in local history as one of the most memorable occasions that has, ever taken place within our township. Once more we repeat, let there be a tolling of bells, the waving of the stars and stripes and the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" next Sun- day. A Modern Home Our attention has recently been drawn to the home of J. A. Neyer on North Green street. It will be re­ membered that Mr. Neyer purchased the Glossen cottage last spring and since it came into his possession the new owner has tranformed same from a mere cottage to a beautiful home, having all the latest and most modern improvements. The place has been enlarged and so many improvements added to it that one would not recog­ nize same. Mr. Neyer is an artist and painter of unusual ability, who ex­ ercised his ingenuity in planning the improvement, while the work of paint­ ing and decorating was all done by him., The improvement adds greatly to the appearance of the street in general. Undergoes Operation Mrs. F. V. Cobb of Hebron, favor­ ably known to many of our readers, underwent a serious operation at the West Side hospital in Chicago on Tuesday of last week. Reports from Chicago are to the effect that the op­ eration proved successful and that the patient is making very satisfactory gains to recovery. While her many friends here are sorry to know that she has been obliged to make the trip to Chicago, all are pleased to receive the encouraging news from the hospi­ tal and hope that she may be able to return to her home at an early date. House Partly Burned Fire broke out in the tenant house on the Geo. Colby farm near Mc- Collum's lake about 8:00 o'clock last Saturday night and before the flames could be put under control the east end of the building was destroyed. Chas. Paul and family were recent tenants occupying the house, but had moved away. The cause of the fire is unknown. Mr. Colby feels very grateful to the people of the commun ity for the prompt assistance rendered him in the work,of extinguishing the flames. * Rev. Grose Returned Rev. W. E. Grose has been returned to the Crsytal Lake and McHenry charges. The assignment was made before the close of the Rock river con­ ference of the Methodist church at Belvidere last week. The members of the M. E. church here are very much pleased to have Mr. Grose returned. Special Election A .special election has been called for October 30 to elect a circuit judge to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Judge A. H. Frost. The election will take place in the district, includ­ ing McHenry, Boone, Lake and Win­ nebago counties. 2? ̂ , ' Social Dane# ; yV/v Another social dance will take place at Smith's hall, Johnsburg, on Wed­ nesday evening of next week, Oct. 24.

City and Town Is Represented One of the most important as well as enthusiastic meetings that ever took place within the borders of Mc­ Henry county was held at the court house at Woodstock on Monday Even­ ing of this week, at which time there were gathered together representa­ tive men of every city, village, town and hamlet in McHenry county. The purpose of the gathering was to talk over and decide on definite plans of disposing of McHenry coun ty's quota of $1,415,925 worth of liberty bonds. C. W. Stenger, county chairman of the second liberty loan, called the meeting to order and in a pleasing manner thanked those assembled for the splendid turnout as well as for their co-operation and support in this gigantic undertaking. At the conclu­ sion of his remarks the McHenry man was warmly applauded. Mr. Stenger then called upon John Dacy of Chicago, a representative of the Seventh Federal Reserve district, who explained what was being done in other localities, and also gave in­ structions as how to go about the work of canvassing for subscriptions to the second liberty loan. He gave his lis­ teners many valuable pointers and thru the information received we be­ lieve the various committees thruout the county will find the Work much easier than at first anticipated. Atty. David R. Joslyn, chairman of the Woodstock committee, was then called upon, who responded with one of the most enthusiastic as well as stir­ ring talks that we have hid oie pleas­ ure of listening to in a long |time. Mr. Joslyn assured those present that he was willing to do everything within his power to bring the second liberty loan drive to a successful conclusion in and around the city of Woodstock. He added that he was willing to get out and hustle as well as subscribe liberally and, to use his own ex- presssion, "to go the limit." He was heartily cheered at the conclusion of his address. Next in order to respond to requests for a few words was Judge Charles H. Donnelly, who, in his usual character­ istic manner, gave a most inspiring talk. He was followed by the chair­ man of each town and community in the county, all of whom reported that their respective communities could be depended upon to come thru with their share towards the second liberty loan. Those from McHenry who were over and took in the meeting were: Messrs. C. W. Stenger, F. A. Boh­ lander, Simon Stoffel, Everett Hunter, T. J. Walsh, J. C. Holly and F. G. Schreiner. Ringwood was represent­ ed by H. W. Allen, while Johnsburg also sent a fine delegation with Mr. Debrecht as their chairman. Mr. De- brecht brought forth a storm of ap­ plause when he assured those assem­ bled that the little German town of Johnsburg would not be found want­ ing in the subscribing of liberty bonds. From now until the close of the second liberty loan campaign every committee in McHenry county is ex­ pected to do everything within its power to have our quota subscribed. This is by no means an easy task, but the work can be made much easier for the various committees if the gen­ eral public will come to their assis­ tance. \ . ©* While our country has been at war for several months, there are few in and around McHenry who have not come to realize that this is a fact Most of our people have thus far failed to see the serious side of the situation that now confronts America and every one of her citizens. The time has come when we MUST act and the sooner that our people fall in line the better and the sooner will die war come to an end. Delay aturis time means longer war, more blood shed and greater sorrow for those who are left at home. Boys have been called from a num­ ber of our homes and more are to fol­ low. These boys are willing to go forth and fight our battles. They are willing to fendure all of the hardships, even willing to sacrifice their lives for us. Then why should we not be will­ ing to do our bit in a financial way? They are our boys and it is our sacred duty to see that every comfort is ex­ tended them while they are across the waters, fighting for you and I. They must be fed, they must be warmly clothed, they must be provided with all the very latest armaments. In fact, Uncle Sam and every true American wants them to be provided for as no other army in the world is today That's why we are called upon at this time to subscribe, according to our means, to this, our second liberty loan. It is the intention of the local com mittee to enlist the services of every man, woman and child in the - entire town of McHenry in this great work BIG PATRIOTIC RALLY To Be Held at Central Opera House Next Tuesday Evening A roaring patriotic rally will take place at the Central opera house in this village at eight o'clock on Tues­ day evening of next week, at which time every patriot of McHenry and the surrounding locality is invited to be present. Topics that an of heart interest to every man, woman and child in the town of McHenry will be taken up by local speakers, Including Rev. M. J. McEvoy, Rev. Edward Berthold, C. W. Stenger, Everett Hunter, Simon Stoffel, J. C. Holly and possibly others. Hie meeting is one in which every one of us should be interested and with favorable weather the opera house should be packed to the-doors. A special invitation is extended to the rural residents, the people of Ring- wood and Johnsburg and those resid­ ing in the territory adjacent. There are few of us who realise the situation that now confronts the Unit­ ed States and it is for the purpose of putting the question fairly and square­ ly before the public that the meeting has been called. The McHenry Militiry band has kindly offered its services for the oc­ casion, while vocal music will also form part of the evening's entertain­ ment. Dont forget the place and date, Central opera house, Tuesday evening, Oct. 23, at eight o'clock. How to Locate Our Boys A number of our people who have visited Camp Grant in the past have experienced some difficulty in locating the McHenry boys and for the benefit of those who have not visited the camp and are planning on doing so in the future, we herewith publish the directions: After leaving Rockford one enters the big training station on Service street. Keep right on until you reach Ninth avenue, then turn to the left and youll find our boys com­ fortably quartered in building or bar­ rack No. 906. The Johnsburg boys as well as the Lake county boys will be found in building No. 909 on the same street. The writer visited the boys in camp last Sunday and found them all in exceptionally fine spirits and apparently well satisfied with their new surroundings and the work that has been laid out for them by Uncle Sam. Those wishing to write any of the boys should address them Co. F., 342nd Inf., Barracks No. 906, Camp Grant, Rockford. It will be well to clip this address for future reference.
