Mesdames Henry Dowe, John Ton- yan and Peter Bowers of Fox Lake spent Monday as the guests of rela* tives and friends in town. Jos. H. Huemann went to Chicago Monday morning and returned home that same day with a Grant Six lim- ousene, which has been delivered to his brother, Nick. Cards were received from Frank Mathieu this week. They were mailed from Vancouver, B. C. Among other things he states that he will soon be on his way down south to San Fran­ cisco, Calif. Henry Schaefer, Jake Thiel and Geo. King of this place have received their two weeks' notice to get ready to enter the service. We have not learned just what day these boys are to depart for camp, but needless to say the hearts of our people will be with them as well as the others who have already gone to serve their country. The scholars and sisters of the Johnsburg public school took part in the township exercises held at Ring- wood on Wedneday evening of last week. The sisters and scholars who took part in the evening's entertain­ ment are deserving of a great deal of credit for the part they took in mak­ ing the event such g splendid success. A number of his friends tendered John Smith a farewell party at the home of Math. Smith, who resides north of this village, on Monday even­ ing- of this week. The host of honor received his call to the colors <tnd will leave Woodstock with the McHenry county contingent Saturday morn­ ing. Loren Michels, who also leaves on Saturday morning, will be given a farewell party this (Thursday) even­ ing. We are informed that there are one or two draft slackers in this locality and that secret service men have been on the job lately, trying to get a line on these fellows. Uncle Sam's secret service department is sure to land these fellows some day and when they are landed they surely will be made to feel very sorry that they did not reg­ ister their names when their country requested them to do so. 0 We are told that Paul Schumacher, Wm. Althoff and Ed. Tonyan, the first of Johnsburg's boys to leave for the service, are now either at some eastern camp or on their journey across. The boys, as will be remembered, left here last summer and for some time were stationed at Camp Grant.. Later on they were transferred to Camp Logan, Houston, Texas, where they passed the winter. Mr. Althoff attended an of ficers' reserve training school for some months during the winter, but owing to a long illness he was unable to qual­ ify. Our people were earnestly hop­ ing that he might make good so that our little hamlet could boast of at least one officer. However, another opportunity may be given him some time later and it is a safe bet that he will try hard to be in line for a com­ mission. The severe wind storm of Tuesday night did considerable damage here The top of the tie sheds near the S. H Smith place was blown off during the storm and a number of horses that occupied the sheds at the time broke loose. Luckily, however, the rigs were unoccupied at the time and all of the horses escaped injury. Serious dam age would have resulted, however, had it not been for the fact that owners were on hand immediately, thus averting several run-aways. Al. Pep ping suffered the greatest damage when the wind demolished his cement block chicken house on his place at the foot of Hamburg hill. The top of the house was carried for some distance while the cement blocks were strewn all over the foot of the hill, completely closing to traffic for the balance of the night.

Delightful barga^.., B e a d T h e P l i i l f f ' f 1 * * * * * ̂ ' Do Your Share ASSISTANT Secretary of Agriculture Carl Vrooman says that more than a billion dollars worth of stable manure is wasted annually in the United States. This is an average of $167 for every farm. In the fuce of the urgent need for bigger crops, such waste as this is a national tragedy. That manure properly used will pu us beyond fear of any crop shortage this year except one that might be made by bad weather. A bigger crop could be produced without the addition of another acre, another man or another horse power, if every farmer would de~ cide to waste no stable manure this year, but buy and use a Low Cora King Manure Spreader Wheels just the right distance apart, and spread wide enough to lop dress three rows of corn at once.
