INCOME TAX MAN COMING WIS Be at Crystal Lake Jan. 21 to > ' ;V v, 23, Inclusive ̂ - •Ms 0' 5l»e leading topic of conversation nowadays is the income tax, for the war program says "The income tax official is coming," and it is the duty of the taxpayers to make himself known to the government.. Whether you meet the official face to face or not, you must make return if subject to tax. For some unknown reason McHenry does not seem to apepar on the list of towns in which the internal revenue collector will be stationed, Crystal Lake being the nearest town available. Returns of income for the year 1917 must be made on forms provided be­ fore March 1, 1918, and for the benefit of all who may not know how to make out their returns the government is sending this expert to do it for them. If you are not sure whether you are included or not you'd better ask this expert and be sure, for if return is not made by March .1, you may have to pay a penalty, a fine or go to jail. See if your income nets you $1000, if so you are liable. Start figuring now and be ready for the question with figures on your in­ come, which includes every dollar you get, In figuring up expenses it does not mean family expenses, money used to pay off the principal of a debt, new machinery or impnfvements. The government means to sum up what you spend in making your money, interest, taxes paid, hired help, amount paid for goods sold, etc. The farmers' expenses must include seed, stock bought for feeding, rent, etc. The schedule of places and dates the income tax official may be found in McHenry county follows; Woodstock--Jan. 2 to Jan. 19 and Feb. 11 to March 2, inclusive. Crystal Lake--Jan. 21 to Jan. 28, inclusive. Harvard--jan. 24 to J an. 29, in­ clusive. Richmond--Jan. 30 to Feb. 2, in­ clusive. Marengo--Feb. 4 to Feb. 7, inclu­ sive. ' Huntley--Feb. 8 to Feb. 9, inclusive. Large Crowd Play 500 A large crowd attended the card party held at the Riverside hall for the benefit of St. Mary's church on New Year's night. By the addition of a musical program on this occasion the evening was one of more merri­ ment than usual. Cinch and dominoes were also enjoyed by those who had not acquainted themselves with the game of 500. In the game of 500 Miss Margaret Weber won first Jionors and John Freund, second. At cinch Mrs. Jos. W. Freund scored high and Mrs. Andrew Miller, second. At dominoes Mrs. Henry Mayers was champion and Mrs. Jacob Justen was second. • Prizes were awarded and hot lunch was served. Home From Hospital Anton May of Spring Grove has just returned to his home from the Har­ vard hospital, where he underwent an operation on his knee, which he injured some time during the summer when a cake of ice fell against same.

Saw Out the Old The members of the McHenry Pleas­ ure club, together with a few invited friends, saw the old year out and the new year in on Monday night. A spe­ cial program, which had previously been arranged, was presented by mem­ bers of the club and from reports that have been heard since then the enter­ tainment (?) was greatly enjoyed by all present. Water Pipes Fvosen Plumbers have been at work during the past few days repairing and thaw­ ing out pipes in the public school building. It was decided to Hooverize on coal thru the holiday vacation with the result that some of the pipes were visited by Jack Frost. Some of the pipes did. not drain properly, hence the freeze-up during the severe zero weather of the past week.

Work on tHte proposed new State bank building at Dundee has been halted on account of the weather, but work will be resumed just as soon as weather conditions will allow. Harvard is to have a pickle factory. The building will occupy a site on ground owned by Hunt, Helm, Ferris & Co. The farmers in the vicinity of that city are quite enthusiastic over the prospects of the factory and have already signed up over 100 acres. American aeroplanes will soon be flying from the mid-west, where they were made, to Atlantic Embarkation ports for shipment to the western battle fronts. The secretary of war has issued instructions to the behavior of civilian population in the presence of military aerial activity. The point most emphasized is that the public must keep away from any military aeroplane forced to descend. William Phyle and family, who re­ side on a farm near Hebrorf, came very near meeting death at a Woodstock railway crossing last Thursday even­ ing. The family was on their way home from a visit with relatives near Chicago and just as they were about to drive over the tracks at Woodstock a f a s t p a s s e n g e r h i t t h e f r o n t e n d 6 f the machine.

Woodstock Sentinel: Ben Silver was denied a new trial in county court Saturday after Judge Smiley had lis­ tened to the motion of Silver's attor­ ney, Wm. L. Pierce of Belvidere, who stated that he had investigated the testimony of certain witnesses whom he believed had perjured themselves, and filed affidavits to sustain his con­ tention. Judge Smiley stated that he felt he must overrule the motion, that circumstances of the case did not in his mind warrant the granting of a new trial. Exceptions were entered and appeal bond filed, the defendant's father signing the bond. X reason­ able time was granted to appeal the case. State's Attorney V. S. Lumley asked the maximum penalty, which the court inflicted, the sentence being $100 fine on each of the five ccounts and a 30-day jail sentence on each count, making a total of $500 and 150 days. Costs in the case amount to $114.05, which added to the fine makes a total of $614.05. Sentence was not put in effect, pending the appeal to the higher court. The second case against Silver, the charge being selling liquor to an inebriate, will be taken up Mon­ day, Dec. 31. The information filed by the state's attorney contains 102 RECEIVES INSTRUCTIONS McHenry County Food Administrator Is Given Instructions |B0RDHIG PLAN ADOPTED BY SUPERVISORS OF McHENRY COUNTY McHenry county food administrator has received the following self-explan­ atory instructions of vital .interest to all citizens: The retail division of the food ad ministration suggests that it would be advisable for you to inform the retail grocers of your community respecting sales of certain commodities as fol­ lows: _ Sugar Sugar should be sold in-towns and cities in two to five pound quantities; to rural customers in five and ten pound quantities. NOTE--This range is fairly wi&e, but is resigned to cover requirements of farm and rural customers, some of whom may live at a distance, which will bring them to their source of sup­ ply at least once a week; others may not be able to reach their source of supply more than once in two weeks, and the sales should therefore be gov­ erned on this basis. Flour Flour in towns and cities should be sold in eighth to quarter barrel quan tities, in farm communities in quarter to half barrel quantities. NOTE--Same explanation as-above. Advertising Any advertisements tending to in­ duce consumers to increase purchases of flour or sugar during the present national crisis are decidedly against public policy. We suggest the press censor their advertisements. We re quest that you convey this' informa­ tion to the retail grocers. Wholesale Sugar Wholesale grocers should not sell in excess of 1000 pounds at a time to a retailer. Sugar should not be shipped on back orders, nor without a positive order from a buyer. Whole salers should use ev^ry precaution to prevent duplication of sales which may give to a retailer opportunity to have more sugar than necessary for conser­ vative distribution, as outlined in the second paragraph of this letter. Federal Food Adm., Illinois Division. Get Your Questionnaire The exemption board at Woodstock has mailed out questionnaires to all drafted men between the numbers of 1 to 2024, inclusive, excepting, of course, those now in training camps. Any man whose number is between those designated who has failed to re­ ceive a questionnaire is notifi^ki to call at the office of the exemption board at the court house in Woodstock and as­ certain why he has not received one. This is very important. If you are drafted and are not now in training camp you should receive a question­ naire. To date questionnaires have been mailed to those having numbers up to 2024. If this list includes your number and you didn't get one, see the exemption board at o/ice. All per­ sons are requested' to read carefully class 1, 2, 3 and 4 on page one of the questionnaire. Be sure to put a cross before letter in class in which exemp­ tion is claimed and use especial care in filling out this first page. Also to look at waiver and claim at bottom of page one to each registrant. New Year's Dance a Success The new Year's dance, given by the McHenry High School Athletic asso­ ciation on Monday night, was attended by sixty couples. Goodwin's saxo­ phone orchestra of Woodstock fur­ nished excellent music for the occa­ sion and the dance was a most en­ joyable affair. The proceeds will go toward enriching the fund of the Ath­ letic association. The committee in charge is very grateful for the pat­ ronage given, which will enable them to continue their athletic aspirations. Practice Games In Order Practice games are being called weekly for the challange game of bas­ ket ball to be given for the benefit of the local Red Cross. The players will consist of the members of the board of education and the town board and promises to outclass all games pre­ viously played in the school gymna­ sium. Thus far they have been un­ able to set the date of this event ow­ ing to the illness of two of their star players. Watch for the date. Inseparable Brothers Among the Camp Grant news items, which are sent out weekly, we find one which will be of interest to Plain- dealer readers. The item in question speaks of Nick and Jack Franzen, for­ mer barbers here, as being" inseparable brothers. Their bunks are side by side, they go to mess together and both are barbers in company F, 342nd Infantry. Standard School New slate blackboards and indoor toilets have been installed in the Prairie school south of this village. The directors of this school are strictly up-to-date and are to be con­ gratulated on the upkeep of the school- building and its surroundings. Miss Genevieve. Knox is the teacher in charge. / Plaindealer tot Official Resolutions Adopted by the Board of Supervisors at Its Sftecial Meeting Last Thursday [Woodstock Republican] Mr? Chairman and Gentlemen of the Board of Supervisors, . McHenry, Illinois: Your committee to whom was re ferred the matter of investigating the proposition of a proposed highway from Rockford, 111., to Chicago, 111., and also to ascertain what was being done regarding said proposed highway by our neighboring counties, in order that McHenry county might not be laggard regarding improved highways, beg leave to report as follows: That they met on November 20 and 22 at Belvidere, 111., and attended the sessions of the board of supervisors of Boone county. Said board had un­ der consideration the matter of sub­ mitting a bond issue to the people to build a concrete road across the south end of Boone county on what is known as the Grant highway. Considerable opposition having developed to this plan by the people residing in the north and central portions of the county, it Was decided to include in the plan also a north and South road thru the central portion of the county and another east and west road across a portion of the north end of the coun ty, making a system of roads in the form of a letter "T" in addition to the Grant highway. The Grant highway being one of the foads to be improved by the sixty million dollar state bond issue, it was also decided to use any money re­ funded by the state from said pro­ posed bond issue for the building of additional hard roads in the county aside from those proposed in the coun­ ty bond issue. A plan to. best serve the public interest was agreed upon and will be submitted to the people of Boone county at a special election on January 9, 1918, calling for a bond issue of $400,000. If the bond issue passes in Boone county, the Grant highway will be built to the McHenry county line at a point about five miles west of Ma­ rengo, 111. 1 Your committee would also report that on October 30, 1917, the people of Lake county, Illinois, voted in fa­ vor of bonding that county to the amount of $500,000 for the improve­ ment of roads. That one of these roads is to extend in an easterly and westerly direction across Lake coun­ ty from Waukegan to Volo. Said last named village being about one and three-quarter miles east from the east line of McHenry county. From Waukegan there is also to be a north and south road extending from the Wisconsin state line south to Chicago, Illinois. Your committee would also state that they have been informed that Kane county, Illinois, on our south is not considering the paving of Grant highway at the present time, but are improving the Lincoln highway in an easterly and westerly direction across the county. Winnebago county has passed a bond issue to improve the Grant high­ way to the Boone county line. So should McHenry county build a hard road across the county to eonnect with the proposed Boone county and Lake county improvements, there would be built a hard road from Rockford to Chicago, via Belvidere, Marengo, Woodstock, McHenry, Volo, Wauke­ gan, Naval Training station and Fort Sheridan. Your committee again met on the pih day of December at Woodstock to further study the road situation in McHenry county, and beg leave to make the following recommendations: That the honorable board of super­ visors of McHenry county entertain a resolution for the bonding of McHenry county, in the manner provided by law to the sum of $800,000 for the purpose of building the following improved highways in said county: 1. Beginning at the county line of Boone and McHenry counties on State Aid route No. 12 and extending along said route in an easterly direction a distance of four and a half (4%) miles, more or less, to the west city limits of Marengo, making a total of four and a half (4%) miles, more or less. Said improvement to consist of constructing an eighteen foot Portland cement concrete pavement with a,-;30 foot graded roadway. The estimated cost of said improvement to be nine­ ty thousand dollars ($90,000). ft 2. Beginning at the east cijty"lim­ its at Maregno on Stafciy ^id route No. 14 and extendina^tn an easterly direction ffn said Stamv Aid route No. 14 a distance of fou# (4) miles, more or le$/, thence run#nfl!» northerly on saicj*£tate Aid routl No. 14 a distance of r one and a half 1(1) miles, more or less, to the n«rth termination of said State Aid i/ute No. 14, thence extending northLrfy 0n State Aid route No. 15 a/ distance of one and three-eighths ({ 3-8) miles, more or WOMEN'S COUNCIL OF C, N. D. Registrars Will Be at City Hall Fri­ day Evening From 7 to 9 The woman's committee f»f the State Council of Defense is doing one of the greatest works as the brief summary shows: 1. The committee has mobilized the women of Illinois for national ser­ vice. 322,000 are already registered. 2. It is trainingi-women to conserve food, fuel, clothing, time and service. 3. It is stimulating food produc­ tion and increasing acreage. 4. It combats disloyalty by sending trained speakers to address Women in all parts of the state. 5. It gives all who desire it the op­ portunity for training for practical, service. ' * 6. It keeps careful watch oyer women in industry to prevent the vio lation of the law governing their working hours. 7. It is vigilant in the enforcement of the child labor law and combats the temptation to exploit boys ^nd girls for higher wages. In addition to this it helps to pro­ mote patriotism* in every possible way. Registration The woman's committee of the State Council of Defense needs your help/ Axe you one of 322,000 women who have registered in Illinois. If not tJo npt delay. We need the help of every woman to promote a spirit of unqualified loyalty. All private enter­ prises, all personal desires and aims must be subordinated to the supreme task which we must accomplish. Ev­ ery woman of today is called by her country just as definitely and for just as important a purpose as the men who are sent over seas. The registrars of McHenry township will be at the city hall Friday evening from seven to nine o'clock to regis' ter any. who may have neglected so to do. As this work of registration will soon be written in the laws of the state it would be deemed advisable to attend to the matter of registering before being compelled so to do.

Everybody welcome. Admission 25 and 15 cents. This admission is just enough to defray expense, so that the hall ought to be filled to capacity. Let us make these entertainments a community affair. Give Us Your Legals Again The Plaindealer wishes to call attention to the fact that a number of legal notices are now appearing in our exchanges that rightfully belong to The Plaindealer. These notices, we are sure, will never be read by yie people who are mostly interested in them. We reiterate, no paper covers the McHenry territory as thoroly as The Plaindealer and all legal notices concerning McHenry people should ap­ pear in these columns. Don't let any attorney talk you into leaving this matter to him. You will be confer­ ring those interested a favor by hav­ ing same published in the home paper and the editor assures you that the rates are no higher than those charged by other publishers. In fact, there is but one rate for these notices and this rate is lived up to by all. No Pennies In- Mail Boxes Rural residents are again reminded of the fact that patrons are forbidden by the government to place pennies or any cash in the rural mail boxes for the carriers to take in lieu of stamps. Nearly all carriers, to be accommodat­ ing, will take them instead of stamps and put them on the letters for the country people, but -the carrier does not have to do it. These cold days he finds it a hardship while in a hurry to t$ke' off his gloves and feel around for cold piecfes of money. His work not comfortable in the winter, so patrons who buy stamps ahead for use spares th^ {pgt/nsart much annoyance. Far From DeaA r Tn last week's issue of the Wood­ stock Sentinel appears an article in which Paul F. Barbian of this village tells his friends that he has not com­ mitted suicide, as has evidently bieen reported at the county seat. The Plaindealer will vouch for it that Paul is far from a suicide and just now is more than enthusiastic over his prospects of soon becoming a full- fledged aviator.

As a result of this it was'found necessary to mk break and reset one of the bones. - Some of the thermometers regis­ tered twelve and sixteen below zero last Saturday morning.
