The reason we have been able to bear this test is we have ap­ plied the same test to all of the lines of goods that we handle. Our Dry Goods, Shoes, Hats & Groceries each constitute a line of time tried and tested merchandise. In short, we handle nothing that we cannot conscientiously recommend on its merits. :: :: :: :: :: Trade at the Time Tried Store F. A. Bohlander WEST McHENRY. ILL. ..Price Concessions..

WORKMAN, District Mtrngw M\ root BEnnsvinm week (Continued firom first page) has since made his home, with the ex­ ception of four years, two of which were spent at Johnsburg and two at Hartford, Conn. Twenty-nine years of his residence in this village were spent as an em­ ploye of the Cristy pickle factory here, which institution passed out of existence a number of years ago. With the closing of the factory also came the close of Mr. Voeltz's life of labor activities, he retiring about that time, and has ever since given most of his life over to his home and its surroundings. The deceased was a highly respect­ ed citizen, who had the love and es­ teem of everyone who knew him. Be­ ing of a quiet and unassuming nature, he never meddled much with affairs outside of his own home. He could rightfully be classed a true home body, one who was deeply interested in those nearest and dearest to him. He was also a member of the Zion Lutheran church here and was a regular attendant at all services. He leaves, besides a widow, four children, as follows: Fred C. Voeltz of this village; Mrs. Herman Kamholz of Cary, 111.; Mrs. A. Rossmann of Wodstock, 111., and Mrs. John Sum- wait of Chicago Two children have preceded him in death, they being Emma and Mrs. Adam Ibsh, the death of the latter taking place in this village a few years ago and who will be favorably remembered by many of our citizens. Funeral services were held at the deceased's home at one o'clock last Saturday afternoon and at the Zion Lutheran church a half hour later, the Rev. Laufer of Woodstock performing the last sad rites. The body was fol­ lowed to its last resting place in Woodland cemetery by a large num­ ber of sorrowing relatives and friends, where it was tenderly laid to rest. The sympathy of our people in gen­ eral goes out to the bereaved ones. Card of Thanks In this public manner ye wish to express our heartfelt thanks for the kindness shown us during the last ill­ ness and after the death of our; beloved husband and father We wish also to express our' sincere gratitude for the many floral offerings, which we assure all were deeply appreciated. Mrs. Wm. Voletz and Family. Mrs. Laura Colby Mrs. Laura Colby passed away last evening on the farm homestead west of this village, on Woodstock road, where she had made her home with her son, Newell, and family for many years. She had been seriously ill for the past week or more and those at her bedside realized that death was near. Her funeral will be held at the Methodist church here Saturday at 1:30 p. m. An obituary will appear next week. , John C. Frisby John C. Frisby, a pioneer settler of this place, passed away at his home Wednesday evening at eight o'clock. His funeral will be held at St. Pat- ick's church Saturday morning at eleven o'clock He is survived by a wife, eleven children and one sister, Mrs. Ellen Walsh. More details will be given in next week's issue. FROM FAR AWAY FRANCE (Continued from first page) are fine and the food excellent. We have met many French officers and we have to Work with them every day at this school and I can say that nowhere have I met a better class of men. The French people could not treat us any better and all the officers here certainly appreciate their good fortune in being located at this place. The climate is mild, also. It is now the middle of winter, but during our two weeks so far we have seen no ice or snow and no weather colder than about forty degrees above zero. The grass in green and used for grazing. The farmers are plowing the land and flowers are blooming in the woods, yet spring is more than a month away. Today is like a bright, sunny day in June in Illinois. At the present time we are enjoy­ ing this life of preparing to lead our men in the war over here, but it will be but a short time when we leave here and go into the actual fighting and show that we can do as much as our allies. Tell the boys, especially those who are drafted, that when they get into the game, fighting by the side of the French, they will be fighting with the best soldiers and the best men that are in the war and that to know the; Frenchman is to want to help him and make this war one of sure victory. I could write bushels of words de­ scribing the interesting things I have seen.- The only thing over here that is not right is the tobacco. It seems years since I've had good American tobacco between my lips. Well au evoir, Frank,, until that far time in the future when we'll see good old M cHenry again. Sincerely, „ .... Alford H.

Spencer, proprietor of the flour mills in his village, received no-; tice yesterday from the United States food administration that here after only 98 pounds of fldur every thirty days will be allowed. Farmers who are in the habit of bringing in loads of wheat to be milled Will bear this in mind. His orders are to mill up all wheat on hand and ship flour to Chi­ cago, where the people are destitute for wheat flour. Residents in and around McHenry, who have had an abundant supply of flour, are forced to realize the scarcity in other com­ munities. The government will be severe in dealing with any who11 are now hoarding or selling their surplus flour as it must be divided equally. Dealers cannot dispose of a sack of flour without selling an equal substi­ tute. Patrons coming many miles with their wheat to the McHenry mills will please note the rule of 98 pounds for each family every thirty day*. KmW- »•?** 4 a V*-®* m ̂ '** Jt-r .^CULWMJCAWOK)-.
