Chamberlin and her committee are hard at work for the Christmas membership campaign. A goose, donated by Miss Belle Miller, will be raffled for the benefit of the Red Cross tomorrow afternoon Service flags may be secured at the Red Cross rooms on Friday afternoon. If every chapter in the country uses its energy in the Christmas campaign, twenty-five million members of the American Red Cross will be enrolled on New Year's day, 1918. Paste your service flag to the win­ dow with a solid border of Red Cross Christmas seals. All of the money for the sale of seals is expended to fight tuberculosis in the United States. Teachers and pupils as well as all interested are requested to go out be­ tween the hours of seven and eight oh Thursday evening and sell Red Cross Christmas seals in the cause of hu­ manity. Thirty dollars were brought in by Mrs. D. G. Wells on Friday afternoon, as a result of her efforts in the sale of numbers on the rug donated by her. A rising vote of thanks was given in honor of her zeal for the local branch. The pupils in the grades gave a touching scene to the meeting on Fri­ day afternoon, when they presented the Red Cross with many articles of clothing made by them for the relief of Belgian sufferers. Among the many donations were twenty-eight pretty comforts for the babes. Fred A. Cooley, the West Side agri­ cultural and feed dealer, has donated an electric washing machine to be raffled for the benefit of the McHenry branch. The machine is on display in his booth at the poultry show and chances are being sold at 25 cents each. This is a valuable article, pa­ triotically donated by Mr. Cooley, and a canvass will be made for the sale of numbers. Mrs. Maude Rothermel is chairman of the committee in charge. Woodstock Headquarters, Dec. 17,1917 Dear Mrs. Walsh--I am sending a letter to all of our splendid branches to push a little harder for this coming week. Try to enlist every member to get a member this week. Get as many 100 per' cent 1918 paid dues as possible. Organize teams, men and women. In making this canvass for members, which will, no doubt, be the last until renewals, do not fail to make the appeal for the seal sale. Try to sell the border of seals for the Red Cross service flag. With this week of loving service in this great national drive, we will be able to enjoy a Christmas day knowing that it is more blessed to give than to receive." May we have a report Tuesday, ThUrs-, day, Saturday and Monday by tele­ phone? We are to make daily re­ ports to the division. Help us to make good this request. The woman's club and C. N. D. have placed or rather gone out to sell seals. One hundred students of the high school have taken 100 each to sell. The public library has them, but the big way to me is to border the service flag--50c worth makes a fine border and then the keen sense of having helped is such a comfort. Trusting you to get all the various organiza­ tions awake and assisting for one, two or three big days or a little every day for the next week, I am assured that we will still find McHenry county on the honor list. If possible plan a big Red Cross rally next Sunday and have a committee begin plans for it at once. Here are the nails on which to tie our energies for this week--memberships, renewals, if a recent drive has not been made, and seals. Yours in the front trench of this big Christmas week drive, Mary G. Shipton, V. C. Guy E. Still, Membership Chairman. OSTEND Tom Kane was hanging paper at Mr. Cornwell's last Friday. We hope it did not freeze. Sherman brothers finished husking for Tony Freund Monday and moved to Mr. Cornwell's. Mr. and Mrs. Cornwell returned from their trip to Lancaster, Wis., last Friday night. We wish all who may read this a Merry Christmas and a happy and prosperous New Year. F. R. Eppel, wife and little son ate Sunday dinner with Mrs. Eppel's par­ ents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Silliman, south of Woodstock. The new barn on C. E. Sherman's farm, occupied by Edgar Thomas, is so he can put his stock 5n now. It has been a long job, a large barn and little help. We are reliably informed that the party that purchased Mr. Cooley's farm will move there himself March 1. We will welcome the newcomers to our neighborhood, , We have been waiting patiently for an invitation to eat Christmas dinner, but it hasn't come yet. Don't all speak at once, as we can eat in only one place Dec. 25, 1917.

AUTO LICENSE HIGHER JAN. 1 Increased Fee for Payment of $60,- 000,000 Good Road Bond Issue Motorists, it is time to get acquaint­ ed with the changes made by thq last legislature in the motor vehicle law. They are effective Jan 1, 1918. "The principal changes are the re­ quirement for the dimming of lights of motor vehicles equipped, with elec­ tric headlights when within 250 feet of an approaching vehjele; a recipro­ cal license exchange between Illinois and foreign countries or provinces, such as Canada; 'and the discontinu­ ation of the aluminum seal," says Louis J. Emmerson, secretary of state. "A new schedule of fees for the year 1918, also fees for transfer of licenses, etc., has been made out. The general assembly has planned the increased fee for the payment of the proposed sixty million dollar good roads bond issue. ' "For the convenience of those de­ siring application blanks, we will en­ deavor to arrange with the city and village clerks thruout Illinois to send them a supply of all kinds, so that motorists will not be put to the trouble or expense of sending direct to this office." The new annual fees for automobile licenses are: 10 h. p. and less, $4.50. ^ 25 h. p. and more than 10 h. p., $6. 35 h. p and more than 25 h. p., $9. 50 h. p. and more than 35 h. p., $16. More than 50 h. p., $20. Electric motor vehicles of 2 tons capacity and less, $10 Electric motor vehicles of pnore than 2 tons capacity, $20. If your motor vehicle or motorcycle has been registered before, you must pay for the fill! year, no matter wfiat month you re-registered the same. The law makes no exceptions, even tho the vehicle has not been used or was in storage. The first registration of fees are the same as the annual license fees if made during the first quarter of the year. They are 75 per cent if made in the second quarter, 50 per cent if made in the third quarter and 25 per cent if made in the fourth quarter. The annual fee for dealer's license is $10 and the dealer may procure as many sets of duplicate plates as he may wish for $10 for each set of two plates. The annual fee for motorcycles is $3 with 25 per cent reductions for each quarter after the first, if regis­ tration is not made in the first quar­ ter. The fees for first registration as chauffeur is $5 and for renewals, $3. Fees for duplicate plates etc., are: Auto license plates, $1 each; motor­ cycle plates 50 cents each; chauffeur's badge, 50 cents each; certificate cards, 50 cents each.
