LETTER FROM PERCY LODTZ Training for Field Duty After Serv­ ing With Marines Quantico, Va., Mar. 29, im Dear Dad--I just arrived here and will drop you a few lines. We have been taken off the ship and ordered to France. We are going to stay here few weeks for training and then go across. I expect to be put in the heavy artillery as we had a lot of big gun .training on the ship. We just came from Philadelphia. We were there two weeks and sure had a great time. This surely is some place. The largest marine training camp. It only costs a dollar and a quarter for a round trip ticket to Washington. I expect to go up there today, over Sunday. But Phil­ adelphia is the finest^ city I have seen so far. We are going to get new uniforms, full outfits, and I hope we will get to go across as soon as we can: You can hand thfs letter to Schrein- er if you want to and let the McHenry folks know I am still existing. So long, dad, will send my address, as soon as I know it. * Percy. SATURDAY, APRIL S a Mtrie .Doro f .*•« •• ' p%; Heart's Desire " h i 1 ^ ^ffUNDAY.

J> Schaffer, the local contractor and builder, informs us that he has recently been awarded contracts for the building of two new houses, one The first half ended with the locals JgLone of the speediest games of the season the McHenry town team won % brilliant victory over the fast Chi­ cago All Stars at the high school gym here last Saturday evening. Score 25 to 19. The McHenry team appeared on the floor with a re-arranged line-up. 'Boley" Miller, who has been out of the game for a few weeks with an in­ jured arm, took his old place at cen­ ter, while Frett, who has been per­ forming well in the center position, was shifted to left forward. The change proved to be a good one, the McHenry outfit putting up a splendid fight against the speed artists from Chicago, who evidently came to Mc­ Henry with all sorts of confidence of getting our boys' "nanny." Playing at such great speed natur­ ally made the game look a trifle rough and this it was as when all was over our boys willingly admitted that they had been thru the hardest knocks of the season. Robison especially came in for some rough handling, but he proved himself equal to the occasion by coming thru with his average number of fast and accurate plays, getting six ringers for a total of twelve points. Miller also looked good back in his old position, while Frett and the two Justen boys put up an article of ball that pleased the howling supporters who were on hand to encourage them. The Chicago quintet put up a game that was characterized with speed and cleverness, but owing to their unfamiliarity with the floor and the smallftess of the gym they were un­ able to take the lead and hold it. in the village and the other in the country. One contract calls for the erection of a new home for Mr. and Mrs. Ray F. Conway, which will oc­ cupy a site on the Ed. Knox property at the east end of Waukegan street, while the second contract is for a modern new home on the Peter Blake farm, a short distance outside of the village limits on the Ringwood road. The old farm house will be moved back, while the new structure will occupy the site on which the present home now stands. The house will be modern thruout with electric lights and a hot water heating plant. Mr. Schaffer has also contracted for the erection of a large barn over near Wauconda. All of the buildings are to be completed during the summer. Contractor Schaffer informs us that on account of the scarcity" of help he will be working under a big handi­ cap, but hopes to be able to complete all. three contracts. Sanatorium Opens The Dr. Carl Strueh sanatorium and health resort, located on the west banks of Fox river a short distance north of this village, officially opened the season of 1917 on Monday, April 1, with the following people regis­ tered: Frank Henkel, Heustiaford, Wis.; Mrs. Lucille Landers, Chicago; Mr.s. Irene Porter, New York; Alfred Decker, Chicago; Miss Emma Oswald, Chicago; Herbert Roedenbeck, Chica­ go. This resort has shown a won­ derful growth during the past few years and indications now point to another very successful season. - Appeal From Washington The government at Washington is appealing to the public in general to let up on writing to departments for nformation that may be found in the thousands of bulletins sent to every postoffice in the United States* to all libraries and many other officials. Consult these files and there will be need of writing letters to Uncle Sam. Hundreds of clerks now an­ swering correspondence will be en­ abled to give their time to essentially important war work and a patriotic service will be performed by ̂ public. ' leading 16 to 9.
