Hagen, pastor of 'the Catholic church at Elizabeth, and at one time pastor of St. Patrick's church in this village. The Rev. Father is an*intimate friend of the groom and the reception following the ceremony was given at the pastoral residence, an honor seldom bestowed upon contracting parties.

She is a charming young lady and numbers her friends by her ac­ quaintances. is a graduate of the McHenry high school and , has taught successfully in the McHenry county schools for the past two years. The groom has gailiid noted popu- larity among the young people of this village on the occasions of his many visits to. McHenry. Tho a young Man, he is well established in the in­ surance and real estate business world in Chicago and his success is due to his exemplary habits and strict appli­ cation to business.

Mueller of the medical corps has been assigned to this duty and has located his offices in the Red Cross building, corner of Lady and Sumter streets.^ His services, both as consulting and attending physician, are to be given free to the families of the officers and enlisted men just as the officers and men are treated at the camp. The soldiers' families can reach him during the day at his office or by phone. His office hours are from iQ a. m. to noon and from 3 p. m. to 5 p. m.

Mrs! H. E. Prfee of Waucondft has been re-engaged to teach the Rose- yille school, near that village, at an advanced salary. R. W. BardweH, superintendent of the Woodstock schools, has donned the overalls and is now employed on a farm in Hebron township. Alfred Brockrogge of Crystal Lake Was almost instantly killed in that city one day recently, when a motor­ cycle he was riding collided with a large touring car. The churches of Hebron held a big union service in the chautauqua tent last Sunday morning. It proved one of the biggest events of the kind ever held in that village. As a result of the tractor exhibi­ tion at Mooseheart farm, Aurora, last week, the Manley Motor company of Harvard, distributors for Ford cars, has disposed of six tractors. The Interrieden Canning company at Grayslake has been notified to cease their pollution of Fourth lake. The notice was served by the state board of health thru State's Attorney James G. Welch. Mrs. Elizabeth Pierce, who has acted as« clerk of'the Woodstock ex­ emption board, ha& resigned her po­ sition and returned to Chicago. Her place has been taken by Miss Bessie Reese of Woodstock. Miss Sybil Sill, a student of the Ward-Belmont college for girfS, situ­ ated at Nashville, Tenn., won the 100- yard dash at the closing athletic ex­ ercises of the school, lowering the school's record by six seconds. The first Harvard boy to make the supreme sacrifice while at the front is George Ratzloff. whose name ap­ peared among those killed in action in the( list published in the metropol­ itan dailies Tuesday of last week. Siggts have been conspicuously posted around the public square at Woodstock, designating;where auto­ mobiles may be parke^. A certain portion of the parking places are re­ served for horse drawn vehicles. A petition, asking the authorities to prohibit a carnival company from exhibiting in that city, was circulated in Dundee last week, with the result that over 500 signatures were ob­ tained. The carnival company took the hint and stayed away. A navy recruiting officer, who re­ cently visited Lake Geneva, Wis., suc­ ceeded in signing up ten boys for that branch of the service. Seven of the ten have since passed the examination antf are now in training at the Great Lakes naval training station. C. E. Kettering, former Waukegan newspaper advertising man, . was robbed of $187 while at Fox Lake one day recently. A barber, who accom­ panied Mr. Kettering to the famous summering place, and who has been missing ever since, is suspected of the theft. According to last greek's issae of the Crystal Lake Herald it was not the mayor of that city who was ar­ rested at Elgin recently, the victim of the arrest being J. W. Wingate, in whose machine the mayor was riding at the time the driver was stopped for violating the traffic ordinance of the Watch city. * , "Dutch" Johnson, a German alien, employed on a farm in Seneca town­ ship, was carried away in an automo­ bile one night recently and treated to . a coat of tar and feathers. Re­ marks regarding American soldiers he is alleged to have made is given as the cause for the manner in which he was treated. J. T. Bower of Richmond is now acting as cashier in the McHenry County State bank at Woodstock, tak­ ing a position left vacant when the former cashier, Walter F. Conway, answered the call to the colors. Mr/ Bower is a stock holder and director in the bank and will undoubtedly serve the public as cashier of that institu­ tion for the duration of the war. v Rev. John W. Herring, pastor of the Congregational church at Wood­ stock, opened a vacation school in that city last Monday morning. The ob­ ject of the school is to train com­ munity workers, keep'the children off the streets* furnish profitable and con­ structive employment for them and to teach the bible and Christianity, patri­ otism and community singing. The originator of the unique school is do­ nating his services as are a large corps of volunteer - teachers. The school will be conducted every morn­ ing except Saturday and Sunday thru- out the vacation period.

Walsh, Sec. „ , _ ; % „ . „ m * 4 Unbte Sam Demand^ Tax « Well as Higher Pwtage - There isn't an institutioit today that has been hit any harder by the pres­ ent crisis than the newspapers and especially the small country weeklies. Everything used in making up the newspaper has advanced from 50 to 200 per cent. The Plaindealer, like hundreds of other small country week­ lies, has felt the high costs quite keen­ ly arid keeping the business on a firm footing becomes more of an up-hill fight with each and every issue, and still there are people coming to us al­ most weekly with the demand that We give to them our stock in trade, viz., our advertising columns. We have been very lenient in this respect in the past, but now that our very ex istence is threatened it is up to us to place our business on a business bads the same as the butcher, the grocery- man, the milk man, the tailor, the clothier and the many others. If you were about to hold a concert or any> thing else where an admission charge is made, you would not go to the gro cer and ask him to donate a pound of sugar, to the butcher for a pound of steak, to the milk man for several quarts of milk or to the clothier for a suit of clothes. However, the average man looks upon a newspaper man and his stock in trade in a different light and thinks it something awful if he charges for his goods instead of giv­ ing them away. But the time has come when the newspaper man must put his business on a sound busi­ ness basis of* quit, Uncle Sam's new ruling is to the effect that every newspaper must pay a war tax upon all advertising matter carried, whether said advertising is a gift by the publisher or is being paid for, the war tax must be paid. Not only is the publisher asked and must pay this extra tax, but he is also obliged, beginning with this week, to pay a higher rate of postage on all papers mailed out This means an­ other added burden. However, The Plaindealer is per­ fectly willing to comply with the de­ mands of Uncle Sam, but in order to do so we cannot give away our stock in trade. Beginning with this issue everything of an advertising nature that appears in The Plaindealer will be collected for at tlje regular adver­ tising rates. There -Will he no more giving away of space. ' You may ask us what constitutes advertising matter. In answer to this we will say that anything that is giv­ en or sold for gain. Entertainments, public gatherings and occasions of this nature, where no admission is charged, do not come under the head of ad­ vertising, but anything that is given for profit constitutes advertising. All events to be held in the future will be given one mention from a standpoint of news. Additional publicity will be treated as advertising matter and charged for rft the regular advertising rate. Isn't that a fair, business-like prop­ osition? We think so and know that when you take into consideration our position in those critical .times you will agree that we are justified in our demand/ All items of news matter will always be welcomed as in the past and we can assure our readers and the public in general that The Plaindealer hopes, thru your co-oper­ ation, to live thru the present crisis and continue to serve you in the fu­ ture as it has in the past. , . * Again On Road ^ John H. Feltz, who for some time past has been employed with a large manufacturing concern at Moline, 111., was in McHenry the latter part of last week. Mr. Feitz is again acting as traveling employment agent for the company by which he is employed.' He made such a splendid record while on the road a few months back that he has again been asked to take the road job, which will take him away, from home during the next few weeks at least. Altho away from home most of the time while discharging the- duties of his new position, Mr. Feltz will maintain his home at Moline, HI. With Canadian Army i* Curtis, who was employed at the Barbian Bros, cigar factory a short time last year, is now enrolled in the Canadian army. A letter to E. M. Geier of this village reveals the faet that he tried to'enlist iu Uncle Sam's army, but was rejected on account of being over weight He is now enrolled in the 102d Canadian battalion and is now overseas. While the letter came as quite a surprise, the news of his entering the service was not so unexpected, as he had often expressed himself while em­ ployed in this village as willing to join the ranks. •, - Speaks at Greenwood ̂ ' Richard B. Walsh of this vf9<ij£ip is one of the speakers at the Fourth of July celebration at Grecg|rqod today. Mr. Walsh is winning^ much favor as a public speaker fhruout the entire county and we can asspkr the good people of Greenwood that they have not made a mistake in adding the M«- fienry young man to talk to them to­ day. JBVICE FLAG Bunmo A$ m. R.-CHUBCH LAST SUNDAY AFTERNOON Appropriate Music Fumiahed By Crystal Lake Young People--Large Crowd In Attendance The unfurling of a pretty service flag with twelve blue stars, represent­ ing twelve young men from the church, who are in various branches of service in the American army, and the presentation of a splendid patri­ otic program formed the services held at the M. E. church in this village on Sunday afternoon at three o'clock. Rev. Wm. E. Grose, pastor, opened the service with prayer, after which 7 little choir boys, garbed in choir cos­ tume, a surplice and gown, marched solemnly down the aisle, singing hymns appropriate to the occasion. They were directed by a young lady from Crystal Lake, who was also in costume. It was a pretty number and the audience was favored with two other selections from this boyf* choir during the program. The or­ chestra then played "America." As Rev. Grose called the roll the congregation arose and the following names were recorded as those who went from the church to help in re­ sponse to God's call and the call of their country to defend' a great wrong. They were: Leo Smith, Wm. and John Campbell, Carl Payne, Donald Waite, Wm. Ensign, Ray Page, Everett Howe, Clarence Foss, Clar­ ence Wolff, Walter Sattem and Lloyd Eddy. W. J. Kittle of Crystal Lake was present and responded in behalf of the boys who were being honored and represented in the church where they had attended Sunday school and wor­ shipped with their parents before en­ tering the war. His address was well rendered and he assuaged the grief of the loved ones present by saying that all would return safely' after this great wrong was- avenged. He said that they were fighting in this war not for the freedom of the United States, but for the world. Rev. Grose, after a few excellent numbers by Crystal Lake's musicians, gave a most inspiring and patriotic talk. There were few dry eyes when he announced the death of his nephew, a lieutenent, who had died of wounds in a hospital in France. The mother of this brave son, in response to a re­ porter-from the Chicago News, said: "Tho my heart is heavy my soul is in the stars," this with pride for her son who had given his life in God's righteous cause. He expressed his sincere appreciation of the willing­ ness in which his Crystal Lake people had given their time and talent in participating in the excellent musical program. A The program thruout was very im­ pressive and Rev. Grose is to be commended for the motives actuating him in bringing about so appropriate a dedication. Members of the church as well as many friends of the church attended and an hour of social con­ verse was spent after the services. Commercial Asm. Meets The regular monthly meeting of the McHenry Commercial association was held on Tuesday evening of this week. The secretary reported that a very satisfactory progress is being made with the express company in the fur­ therance of our demand for free ex­ press delivery. President Jos. W. Freund also suggested that the mem­ bers of the association follow the steps taken by other associations by offering assistance to the farmers of this locality. It was then decided that the members willing to help on the farms occasionally send or hand in their names to the president, together with the kind of work that he* can do on a farm. This is indeed a fine spirit and one that is being carried out in a number of cities and towns thruout the state. The license topic was also thoroly discussed, the subject being brought up by a question that was asked by a member as to whether or not the man who sold goods from a wagon in Centerville on a recent even­ ing had paid into the village treasury the license fee as required. It was then decided to investigate and if the lecense was not collected that the as­ sociation respectfully ask the village council to have the ordinance covering such licenses strictly enforced in this village, in the future. While the at­ tendance at Tuesday night's meeting was not what it should have been, those who have sufficiently interested themselves to attend each and every meeting since the organization of the association are not discouraged, and a little later on a thoro canvas of the village will life made for new members. Two new members were taken in this week. > Bullet Went Thru His Finger While overhauling a small .rifle at his home here on Saturday afternoon, Geo.

The price for August is to be fixed July 15 by the same authorities, who agreed to fix the price month by month for the next six months. The price for July, as settled late Saturday, is |2.30 per 100 pounds, $1.87 per eight gallon can. The above settlement was made after two days of dickering Over what should be done in adjusting the two, thre^ or six months following July, and was finally reached when all parties had agreed to settle the price for the months of August, September, October, November and December on the feeding formula of twenty pounds of home-grown grains, twenty-four pounds of purchased feeds, 110 pounds of hay and three hours labor per 100 pounds of milk. The price of grains is to be the price on the farm for all home-grown grains and the wholesale price of grain feeds bought, plus the freight, retailers' profit, and $1.50 per ton to the dairy­ men for hauling to the farm. The price of hay is to be that set by the Illinois and Wisconsin reports, issued by the U. S. department of agricul­ ture. This pliees us just where we were one year ago, when we went out and fought for a $8.42 price for October and $3.71 for November on the basis of this feeding forihttla. It is our belief thai this is more than a real victory for the dairy in­ dustry, as it actually gives us pay for our feeds and the labor put into the production of milk. * The prices for the five months is to be set between the 18th aflid 15th of each preceding month.

DEMONSTRATION A SUCCESS Fruits and Vegetables Processed by University Graduate A free demonstration, for the bene­ fit of those who should interest them­ selves in the processing and conserv­ ing of fruits and vegetables, was given at the school auditorium on Friday of last week. A graduate from the state univer­ sity at Urbana was present and gave a complete demonstration in prepa­ ration and processing of fruits and vegetables available. Several mem­ bers of the canning club were present This conserving of fruits and veg­ etables is a highly important work. Uncle Sam has hinted that if one doesn't can one's own fruit and vege tables one may not have any. He will take care of his soldiers first. Members and all should get busy and keep busy for the rest. of the sum­ mer canning and drying surplus fruits and vegetables. > Parents encoufmge t£fe children to put intb practice the rules learned at Friday's demonstration. and help to win. The stove and utensils used by the demonstrator and class of helpers wm furnished by J. J. Vycital and his kindness is fully appreciated.
