Yvonne Haas of Wauconda has en­ listed with the telephone corps for service in France. ' £>he is now in Evanstqn, where she is in training for the work "over there." Miss Haas made her home in France for eight years and returned to Wauconda only last May. She speaks the very best French and also has a fine Eng­ lish vocabulary. From the Lake County Independent it looks very much as if there was some hunting going on at Fox Lake, as that publication last week con­ tained an account where a Fox Lake man came very near losing his life while out hunting ducks on the lake. The article states that "while trying to take a shot at a flock of ducks, tipped his boat over." Within a half hour after her clothes had become ignited from a bonfire, Mrs. Joseph Kugler, seventy-eight years of age, an old time resident of the county seat, passed away from the effects of her burns at the Wood- stock hospital. A few minutes after the news had been broken to her hus­ band, eighty-one yeifts old, he died from the shock, A double funeral took place at St. Mary's Catholic church Woodstock on Monday morning. , Woodstock people were surprised agd pleased a short time ago when, while a reel of pictures in "Pathe's Weekly" was being run at a picture show at the county seat, Kenneth Hoy, who is now in France, appeared on the screen looking as natural as life and as happy as could be. As the picture proceeded someone in the t audience shouted, "There's Kenneth Hoy." The audience shouted in ap­ plause as they quickly recognized him. The scene was during messtime and as the reel unwound "Ken" walked up front, stopped, bowed and smiled, went on, had his plate filled and sat down to eat as the picture changed to another scene. The pic ture is said to have been true to life and as natural as if Kenneth had appeared in person instead of being *» s On Monday, -April I, a very inter­ esting meeting was held in the court house at Woodstock by the leaders of the Boys' and Girls' Corn and Canning clubs in the county to make plans for the work to be carried on the coming year. Members of the Soil Improvement association also met at this time. T. H. Murray of Harvard will have charge of the work in McHenry coun­ ty this year. There never was a time when gardening* corn growing and canning were as important as this year. He will need the'help and co­ operation of the Various club leaders, boys and girls and their parents. Mrs. Jack Walsh, who lead the girls' club last year was again ap­ pointed for this year's work and se­ lected a committee to assist her in the work of promoting the work from the plans on Monday thru to the fin­ ish of the work in the fall. The committee named was as fol­ lows: Mrs. C. L. Page and Miss fethel Owen of McHenry and Mrs. Nellie Dodge of Ringwood. A meeting will be called for the purpose of enrolling the girls in the canning club just as soon as the en­ rollment cards are sent by the state leader, Prof. Green. It is hoped that girls from the ages of ten to eighteen will be interested in the conserving and cannipg of fruits and vegetables, remembering Mr. Hoover's statement that the country that can keep up its food supply will win the war." The boys and girls in McHenry county clubs last year were efficient and loyal to the core. Never in the history of the county were so many quarts of vegetables and fruits canned and out of the exhibit at Woodstock at tlje close exhibits were taken to Springfield, where the honor of * se­ lecting ten quarts to be taken to Washington was conferred upon the girls in McHenry couifty inasmuch as it was chosen from their exhibit. Prof. Farrell, assistant U. S. food administrator, who .attended the final exhibit at Woodstock last year, was so impressed with the work done by the boys and girls in this county that he promised to be with them here in June, when lessons in processing, sim­ ilar to the demonstration given last year, will be held. In last year's club 146 girls entered and 122 finished and in the boys' club 190 entered and 146 finished. This was the highest finish in any state in the north and west, which includes thirty-three states. In Algonquin township five boys entered and five finished, receiving first prize. Some of the boys in our county got discouraged after the freeze up" and the corn was cut and put in to silos. This year it is re­ quested that corn plots be left unmo­ lested until released by Mr. Murray. S. W. Smith of Ringwood will have charge of the boys' club in McHenry township and C. W. Gibbs in Nunda township. Their meetings will be held soon. Corn will be furnished new members of the club afid others who were unable to save enough seed corn last year. The boys and girls de­ serve much credit for their enthus­ iasm in last year's work and we hope they will be more than eager to do their share in the patriotic service this year. - * •' A Mfci *• •m BDSWESS HER OiGAMZE ENTHUSIASTIC MEETING HELD TUESDAY NIGHT Town Election Tame Affair The town election, held on Tuesday of this week, proved a very tame af­ fair. On account of the fact that there was no competition for any of the offices to be filled, very little in­ terest was taken by the voters and as result only 115 votes were cast in the three precincts. In precinct No. 1, Ringwood, 11 votes were.cast; pre­ cinct No. 2, village hall, McHenry, 63 votes, and precinct No. 3, the Colby building, Water street, 41 votes. The newly elected officers are: Chas. B. Harmsen, town clerk; John Boyle, commissioner of highways, and John W. Kimball, assessor. Polish Americans Coming Hit Polish American A. C. (basket hall team, which handed the McHenry town team its only trimming of the season, will be here for a return game next Saturday evening, April 6. The McHenry team acknowledges the strength of the Chicagoans, but the boys are still of the opinion that they can lick them. The fans will turn out in numbers on this occasion and if you fail to attend you'll be sorry after­ wards. Game called at 8:15 p. m. General admission, 26 cents. As this is the last game of the season no leyal fan will want to miss it. Seventy-Five Couples at Dance - The Easter dance, given under the auspices of the McHenry Baseball club at Stoffel's hall on Monday even­ ing of this week, .was attended by about seventy-five couples. The crowd was one of the finest seen at the hall in a long time and everyone present appeared to enjoy the event to the fullest extent.

Freund Named President At a meeting of the business men of McHenry, held at the village hall on Monday evening of this week, a permanent organization was effected and judging from the enthusiasm dis­ played the men behind the movement are out to see the venture made a suc­ cess. Election of officers was held and as a result Jos. W. Freund, the West Side clothier, was made president of the new body with William Smith, the Centerville merchant, as vice presi­ dent. Peter M. Justen, the wide­ awake and hustling West Side furni­ ture dealer, who has always displayed a keen interest in affairs that concern the village and its people, was named secretary and treasurer. The president named the following committee, John Stoffel, Wm. Pries and F. G. Schreiner, to draw up a set of by-laws, rules and regulations and the gentlemen hope to have these in shape for presentation at the first regular "meeting of the newt organi­ zation. It was also decided at the meeting on Monday night that the organiza­ tion be known as the McHenry Com­ mercial association and that meetings be held once a month, the meeting night to be on the first Thursday of each month. Thus it was announced that the first regular fneeting of the new association is to be hold fit the village hall on Thursday evening, May 2, at 8:30 o'clock, at which time it is hoped that every business man in town, no matter in what line of busi­ ness may be, will be present. It is the desire that everyone join. To make the venture a success it de­ serves it is absolutely necessary to have every business and • professional man in the village as a member and we predict that all will fall in line at or before the first meeting of the new body. While it seems that it should not be necessary to urge the business men to join and be present at the first meeting, The Plaindealer wishes to make it known tjlat all are wanted. Every business man should be suf­ ficiently interested in his own welfare to join, as we can assure him that the benefits derived will be many. A program was mapped out at Monday night's meeting which is to be followed out at later meetings of the association, most important of which is to take up with the American Ex­ press company the question of free delivery in this village. This is something that the business men of McHenry feel that they are entitled to and from the expressions heard at the meeting on Monday night it looks to us as if this very thing can be had by going after it in the correct way. This alone, if granted us, would be the saving of hundreds of dollars an­ nually to our business men. Then, too, the express rates can be taken up. The business men of the village have long since felt that the express rates here haven't been just and this, too, can and should be remedied. While these are only two matters that will be taken up by the asso­ ciation there are many other matters of vital importance to every man do­ ing business in McHenry and it is therefore to their interest to join and help the good work along. While the organization- will bring benefits to the members, it will also bring better things for McHenry, its citizens and the people of the rural districts, as it is the aim of the men pushing this project to push anything and everything that will benefit the people of the entire community. Once more we wish to impress up­ on the minds of those who were not present at the meeting on Monday night to give this matter their earn­ est attention and hand their name to the secretary, Peter M. Justen, so that they may be enrolled as members. As decided last Monday evening, the initial membership fee is only $1.00 and this should not stand in the way of any one joining the asso­ ciation. With possibly one exception everyone present at the meeting Monday night had his name enrolled and came across with .the membership dues. This was indeed an encourag­ ing start and with the sam^ spirit prevailing at future meetings nothing but success can crown the efforts of the McHenry Commercial association. A Pre-nuptial Affair In honor of the approaching mar­ riage a pre-nuptial was given Miss Dorothy Blake and Jos. Michels at Mertes' hall, Pistakee Bay, Sunday evening. Miss Elsie Mertes was hostess on this occasion and seventy- five young friends were invited to honor the occasion. Amusements and games in keeping with the day were in order and ice cream and cake were served before the close. A purse awaits the payment of a gift of the bride's selection from her many young friends. ^ - SCHOOL NOTES Items of Interest as Prepared la Oar Electricity is being discussed physics this week. "Jimmy" Bradley and Sarah Dodge were recent callers in high school. The jtoniors have decided to give "The College Town" for, their class play. Gwendolyn Overton has been ab­ sent from school for several weeks on account of illness. Miss Harruff was absent from school Wednesday afternoon aryi all day Thursday on account of sickness. The seniors have almost decided on what play they are going to give Perhaps you think this is a miracle. If so, you are right. Everybody was rejoicing Tuesday afternoon because Mr. Shelton came during recitation period and thus gave them an unexpected vacation. Miss Carey is proud of her room, being the only teacher who can boast of being 100 per cent up to present writing in the purchase of war sav­ ings stamps. An April fool on Miss Pryor: Ac­ cording to the old time Miss Pryor made an extraordinary record. a. m. saw her hurrying along to school for fear she would be late. A. M. Shelton, superintendent of McHenpy county schools, visited us on Tuesday of this week. He gave an excellent talk on patriotism and the sale of thrift and war saving stamps. He urged that every pupil and indi­ vidual invest in these war stamps. The seniors did not give their pro­ gram Friday morning, but will give it this week. The program is to be patriotic, partly on account of Sat­ urday being the anniversary of our entrance into the war and partly be­ cause the school service flag is to be dedicated on that day.

Young Men Seek to Become Alder­ men--Contest on For Villige Clerk­ ship--Election April 16 Two tickets will be in the field at the coming village election, which is to take place on Tuesday, April 16 Both petitions, bearing the names of the candidates who are now in the fight, have been filed and are now in the hands of the village clerk. The petitions are filed under two head ings, Citizens' and Village. The Cit­ izens' ticket contaihs the names of Peter J. Doherty, John R. Knox and Albert Krause for aldermen and A. W. Bickler for village clerk, while the Village ticket has but one candidate, W. G. Schreiner, who again aspires for the office tha| he now holds, viz., village clerk. All of the candidates on both tickets are young and of the progressive type and that they are all qualified for the offices ihey seek goes without say­ ing. Of the three candidates for aldermanic seats, Peter J. Doherty is just completing his first term, while the other two candidates, John R. Knox and Albert Krause, are just making their entry bow into the ranks of local politics. The two retiring aldermen are John Justen and John II. Kennebeck. Both men,0 we under­ stand, declined to run for a second term, willinglytpulling out of the race to give the younger men a chance. The .two candidates for the office of village clerk are also young men of the progressive and wide-awake type. Eaeh has his own following of friends and supporters and both are out hustling for votes. We feel safe in stating that the contest between these two candidates will be of the clean- cut variety and, no matter which of the two wins out, McHenry is assured of a man who is in every way capable of performing the duties connected with the offic#. It is a known fact that some of the men, who in previous years have been instrumental in making up a slate, have not been idle this year and it came as quite a surprise to the voters when it was made known Tues­ day morning that-only one full ticket was in the field. Some of those who aim to keep posted on local politics surely looked for at least six candi­ dates for seats in the council chamber As stated above, the annual elec­ tion takes places on April 16 and be­ tween now and that time the two candidates for clerk will be given ample time to make a thoro canvass among the voters of the village. Lodtz-Steinsdoerfer Our citizens were given * most agreeable surprise on Monday morn­ ing of this week, when the wedding of Miss Mary Anna Steinsdoerfer and John D. Lodtz, both of this village, was first announced. The cSremony took place at Pullman, 111., on New Year's eve and up until this week the pair had-been successful in keeping the event a secret. The news became known Monday, when Mr. Lodtz made arrangements for the renting of the Mrs. Nizzie Holly flats on the east end of Pearl street, where the happy pair are now nicely settled and re­ ceiving the congratulations of their many friends. The bride is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Steinsdoerfer, who reside east of this village, while Mr. Lddtz has been en­ gaged in the tailoring business here for quite a number of years. Farewell Party for Miss Sutton Mrs. Walter Warner entertained at farewell party for Miss Alice Sut­ ton at her flat on Main street Sunday evening. A six o'clock dinner was served. Plates were laid for six girl friends besides the guest of honor and hostess. Gifts, which will be ser­ viceable in her western "shack, where she is proving up a claim, were presented Miss Sutton and an excep­ tionally jolly evening was spent be­ fore, her departure for Sand Springs, Montana, Monday morning, after spending the winter with relatives here and in Chicago. Henry Freund Dead Henry Freund, aged about twenty- five years, son of Mr. and Mrs. Nick L. Freund of this village, passed away at the home of his parents here on Monday evening of this week, follow­ ing an illness of some length. Mr. Freund, on account of impaired health, gave up his position in Da­ kota some time ago and since then has been with his parents here. His untimely death is mourned by a large circle of relatives and friends. The funeral took place from St. Mary's Catholic church herfe this (Thursday) morning. Chops His Own Foo|.?>* 1 . - Geo. Glossen, son of Math. Glos- son, who resides on a farm west of this village, on the Woodstock road, cut a severe gash in his left foot near the ankle while chopping firewood at his home Saturday morning. Dr. D. G. Wells was called and was obliged to take several stitches to close the gash. He is improving nicely: RICHARD WALSH HONORED Is Traveling the State In Company -i With Britiah Army O% ""W ' : .. Another honor is being conferred upon Richard B. Walsh of this vil­ lage, who is now engaged in travel­ ing the state as a representative of the> Federal Reserve bank of Chicago in the interest of the coming third liberty loan. Mr. Walsh has been honored by be­ ing made the traveling partner of Major Qpneral E. D. Swinton of the Bristish army and the Hon. Frank G. Odell, secretary of the Federal Farm Loan bank of Omaha, Neb. The distinguished British visitor is assistant secretary of the British war cabinet, staff officer of Lord Reading, British ambassador to the United States as well as being the originator of the war tank and organizer of the first tank corps. General Swinton is a thirty year service veteran of the British army in the Boar war and in India with the Royal Engineers' regiment. At the beginning of the present war he spent ten months on the western front. He is also a writer of distinction up­ on military and war topics and an at­ tractive platform speaker. The honor of making our own Mr. Walsh a traveling part/ier to this dis­ tinguished gentleman undoubtedly came in recognition of the splendid work already accomplished by him in the interest of the second aa well as the coming liberty loan. McHenry ^naturally feels proud of one of the very best young men ever turned out of the village and his movements and work during the com­ ing drive will be> watched with inter­ est by all of us. » -! McHENRY FLOUR MILLS ; Receive Strict Orders From Govern­ ment Which Must Be Followed The farmer bringing wheat to mill in exchange for flour at the McHenry flour mills will henceforth be obliged to sign a certificate which certifies that the wheat was grown on his farm, that the supply is not more than sufficient to meet the requiements of his house­ hold for thirty days and that he will not sell, lend nor deliver such flour to anyone. In addition to this he will be required to sign a pledge card as follows: "Desiring to co-operate with the government in winning the war, I hereby pledge myself to cut down the use of flour in my household or establishment in every possible way and to use a pound of wheat flour substitutes for every pound of wheat flour used." Mr. Spencer, proprietor of the Mc­ Henry flour mills, will carry oilt the orders given him by the government in helping to win the war. Annual Stag Party Everett Hunter, proprietor of the Hunter boat factory, gave a banquet in honor of his employes last evening. One end of the large establishment was gaily decorated for the occasion and dinner was served at 6:30 by Chef Johnson, official caterer for the C. & N. W. Ry. Baked fish and everything in season made up the delicious1 menu. After dinner speeches by Rev. Edw. Berthold, T. .1. Walsh, Jos. C. Holly, C. G. Frett and John D. Lodtz were well given and as well received. The latter nam^d speaker was given a serenade around the gay fevtive board Mr. Hunter takes great pleasure in arranging for these annual affairs given by him ^or his employes and in­ vited guests and in turn they are deeply appreciated by them. Wednes­ day evening's banquet proved by far the most delightful ever held in the history of the establishment as all agreed when the party" broke up at 1:30, new government time. i Third liberty Loan Drive The wheels are all set in McHenry county for the opening of the third liberty loan next Saturday morning. County Chairman C. W. Stenger of this village has been the busiest man in the county during the past few weeks in his work of organizing the entire county and getting things in shape for the big drive. McHenry county's minimum quota this time is something like $800,000, of which Mc­ Henry township will be expected to raise about $80,000. This means that McHenry and Johnsbufg will be asked to subscribe $05,000, while Ringwood and that part of the township will be expected to raise $15,000. With the perfect organization of the entire county and with every committee member anxious to "do his bit" it looks to us like McHenry county will go "over the top'1 with ease. Postponed Again Rev. M. J. McEvoy, pastor of St. Patrick's church and director of the musical which was dated for April 7, under the auspices of the Young Ladies' sodality, has again been obliged to postpone this entertain­ ment. On account of the recent death of Miss Dwyer's mother" the musical will not take place until May. •• Jl!
