GRANGER'S D«ATH 1 BRINGS GRIEF Puaed Away Suddenly In Chicago |«ut Sunday Morning at H«*e of Her Son--Burial Here A message wired here on Sunday morning announcing the death of Mrs. F. K. Granger came as a dis­ tinct shock to relatives and friends, she having passed away suddenly at the home of her son, Almon C., in Chicago. Deceased was born Oct. 8, 1849, and died Feb. 3, 1918, her allotted time being 69 years, £ months and 5 days. She has been a resident of McHenry since her marriage to Flavil K. Granger on Dec. 2, 1869. Her sur­ viving children are Ada A. of Elgin; Almon C. of Chicago, Mabel M. of Waynesville and Marguerite E. of Austin. Besides her husband, two sons, Charles H. and Edwin P., pre­ ceded her in death. Shortly before Christmas, as was her custom since the death of her son, Edwin, she locked her home here and accompanied her daughter, Margue­ rite, to Austin, expecting to spend the winter there and with her daughter, Mabel, at Waynesville. On Christmas day she was invited to the home of her son, Almon, for Christmas dinneri and the terrible blizzard just after rendered her snow­ bound, and tho enjoying the six weeks' visit and in the best of spirits before retiring the evening previous, she passed peacefully away early Sunday morning. Mrs. Granger was a member of the Christian Science church and was an essentially home woman, having per­ formed many works of mercy in caring for the aged and infirm, whom she took into her home, thus adding to her many household cares. Industry and strict attention to her own affairs and those of her family household characterized her life and many a burden was lightened by her silent charity in times of need and distress. Her death strikes full force upon her children and grandchildren, whose welfare she had at heart, and also upon her many friends in this community, where her loss will be deeply felt. The body was brought to her home here Tuesday evening, where her funeral was held Wednesday after­ noon at two o'clock, conducted accord­ ing to the belief of the Christian Science church, in which her faith was steadfast. Burial was at Woodland cemetery. * A beautiful and appropriate hymn was sung by Mrs. J. C. Holly. Many beautiful floral offerings were sent as expressions of sympathy from her many dear relatives and friends. The pall bearers were Messrs. J. C. Holly, James Revor, S. Stoffel, A. A. Landwer, M. J. Walsh and Jack Walsh. A Warning , T h e p e r s o n , w h o d u r i n g < t h e p a s t few weeks has been helping himself to coal at the McHenry brewery, is hereby notified to cease the practice at once or suffer the consequence. M. L. Worts informs us that he has a good line on the fellow who is guilty of the crime and should he make an­ other visit to the place for the pur­ pose, of stealing coal serious troublo is sure to result. The petty stealing has been going on for some time past and the owners of the coal have come to the conclusion that it is now time to call a halt. If the person will take our advise he will keep away from the brewery coal as the owners have their minds all made up as to what is go­ ing to happen to the fellow on his next visit. Once more we say, take this warning and keep away. Mr. and Mrs. Martin Entertain On last Wednesday evening several young people of this vicinity were royally entertained by Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Martin at their hospitable home near Terra Cotta. Owing to the in- inclement weather some of the young folks were unable to be present, but those who were fortunate enough to be there report a most enjoyable time. Progressive five hundred was played, Miss • Edna Phalin and Ed. Conway receiving prizes. A victrola concert and dancing were enjoyed, after which dainty refreshments, consisting of sandwiches, pickles, cake and coffee, were partaken of. At a rather late (?) hour the guests departed for their homes, assuring Mr. and Mrs. Martin that they had spent a most enjoyable evening, and wishing them a most happy life in their new home. . . Pre-nuptial Shower ' Miss Mildred Welch and the Misses Eleanor and Edna Phalin gave a card party and shower in honor of Miss Norma Whiting at the home of Mr and Mrs. Wm. J.

DAIRYMEN BOYCOTT Local Factories Are Practically at a Standstill \i ̂ Milk producers of the Chicago dalfy district held their annual election of officers in Chicago Tuesday. The of­ ficers now in charge were re-elected for the ensuing year: President, F. T. Holt, Kenosha, Wis.; secretary, Willis J. Kittle, Crystal Lake; treas­ urer, Frank H. Reese, Dundee, 111. The meeting adopted a petition, which was sent to Harry Wheeler, state food administrator, protesting against the commission's milk prices. An average price of $2.45 for five months, from Feb. 1 to July 1, offered by the government, prompted the farmers to boycott and since last Saturday the milk war has been on until not a drop of milk is being de­ livered to the district plants. At the meeting on Tuesday it was decided to review the testimony of­ fered by the milk producers and con­ sumers and State Administrator Wheeler will again convene with a Washington official and also one from Burlington, Wis., in an effort to mod­ ify the recent commission fixed price. In the meantime farmers are feed­ ing the milk on the farm and churn­ ing the cream into butter. Calves and pigs as well aS the chickens en­ joy the nice, sweet milk. Farmers are firm in asserting their rights and many producers will go out of the dairy business altogether if the price is not raised. If so a serious milk famine is looked for be­ fore the close of summer. The price given the farmers for December and January was $3.22.

READY FOR BIG BASKET BALL EVENT QF THE SEASON FRIDAf Old Fellows Are Fit For Hard Bat­ tle--Big Crowd Looked For--Ad­ vance Sale of Seats is Large The scenery is all set for the big Red Cross benefit basket ball games to be pulled off at the McHenry school gymnasium on Friday evening of this week, Feb. 8. Instead qt one there will be two games and the one price of admission will admit you to both. The big game and the one that you and .1 have been talking about for the past few weeks will be between teams composed of members of the board of education and the village board and this con­ test should prove one of the most interesting ever seen on a home floor. The members of both teams have been practicing during the past few weeks in anticipation of the coming event and reports from headquarters of the two teams are to the effect that the players, in spite of their ages have mastered not a few of the finer points of the game and both teams are confident of victory. Then, too, each team will have its following of rooters and supporters and, if our tip is not wrong, even the ladies have taken sides and chosen the team for which they are going to root. The advance sale of tickets has been going on since last Saturday and according to reports the sale has al­ ready passed all expectations, which means that the old gym will be packed to the doors tomorrow night. Just to make the occasion a doubly interesting one and to give the mem­ bers of the two teams an opportunity to rest up between halves, another game has been arranged for and will be staged between the town team and a team composed of business men of the village. Everyone knows what sort of a game the town team is cap­ able of putting up and the fact that several old timers are included in the business men's team should be suf­ ficient to induce the "betters" to con­ sider them in the Vunning. While this second game has been arranged for on a very short notice, the fans haven't been given very much time to compare the playing strength of the two teams, but if one can believe me-half of the bear stories circulat­ ing from the camp of the business men's team the speed artists of the town team will not be allowed to loaf on the job to carry away the honors of the evening. All told the event is sure to prove one of the biggest laugh producers ;ver attempted in the village and any person who can possibly get away will undoubtedly be on hand to watch the sport and at the same time assist in swelling the treasury of the McHenry Red Cross society. "• General admission to the two games, 25 cents. First game called at eight o'clock. FRANK MASQUELET WRITES Is On Active Service With A. E.

C. team of Elgin on the home floor next Saturday evening, Feb. 9. The Elgin team is considered one of the strongest amateur teams in the state of Illinois, having lost but a few games this sea­ son. The McHenry team, as you know, is taking no back seat for any of them and no true fan can well af­ ford to miss this, which promises to be the one big game of the season. The game will be called at the usual hour. General admission, 25 cents. The following letter from Frank Masquelet to his sister, Mrs. John J. Barbian, was received last week. He is on active service with the Ameri­ can Expeditionary Forces somewhere in France: In France, Dec. 30, 1917. Dear Sister--Received your letter yesterday and was awfully glad to hear from you. I did not receive the box yet, but hope to in the near future. It takes almost one month for the first-class mail to get here and suppose it will take about three months for the package, it being sec­ ond class and so many of them. The weather .is very cold and damp here. Lots of snow this month. Just think I have been in France nearly five months now and have only seen the sun shine about a dozen times. If it isn't raining it is snowing. They say it is caused by the heavy artillery fire. I wish you were here to hear me talk French. I have a nice little French girl to teach me. I am get- tirig so 1 can talk to most of the French people now. When I get back to America I won't be able to talk anything else. The French soldiers treat us fine. We have their military band at our Y. M. C. A. twice a week. They can surely play swell. Well that is about all I can say now. Am well and happy and like to receive lots of rtiail, so write soon. It's pretty near chew time so will close for this time. With lots of love to all, As ever, Your brother, Frank Masquelet. 88 Aero Squadron, A»r Depot No. 1, A. E. F., France. LIEUT.
