Frank Justen of Camp Sheridan, Ala., called on friends in this vicinity one day last week. A few from here were at McHenry Wednesday morning, where they at­ tended the funeral of Henry Justen. Letters from our boys down at Camp Grant have been received by relatives and friends during the past few days. The boys have no com­ plaints to makel Every farmer in the Johnsburg ter­ ritory is expected to buy at least one liberty bond during the coming cam­ paign, which opens on Saturday, Sept. 28. Better prepare to meet the so­ licitors when they call. A letter was received from Lonnie Michels this (Thursday) morning, in which he states^ that he and Jacob Thiel, another Johnsburg boy, have moved from Camp Shelby, Miss., to Camp Mills, N. Y. The boys are both 4n good health and fine spirits. The Young Men's society of St. John's church received communion in a body last Sunday morning and in the afternoon special services in English were conducted by the pastor, Rev. Yvm. Weber. The event was in honor of the Johnsburg boys who are now with the colors and the morning as weli as afternoon services were the most impressive of the kind ever wit­ nessed here. A , letter frem Wm. Mueller of Adams, Minn., a former Johnsburg resident, dated Sept. 11, states that it has rained there for three consecu­ tive days with a week's shock o;f grain still standing in the fields. The oat yield is from 40 t« 65 bushels to the acre; wheat, 12 to 30 bushels; flax, 5 to 17 bushels. The price received for- flax is $3.75 per bushel; oats, 62 cents; wheat, $2.05; barley, 75 tcents. He adds that all are well there. Anton Muellenbach of the same place also writes the same good news. Our community service flag was dedicated with appropriate, services at parish hall here last Friday even­ ing, a large crowd of people turning out in respect to the boys who have already answered the call of Uncle Sam and who are now in actual ser­ vice at the front and in training camps in this country. The flag contained fifteen stars, representing the num­ ber of our bpys now in service. All •of the boys are members of St. John's church and nearly all of them are al­ so members of the Young Men's so­ ciety. The meeting last Friday night was opened with the singing of The Star Spangled Banner, the school chil­ dren leading. The hali was appropri­ ately decorated for the occasion and Johnsburg and her citizens have every reason to feel proud of the part she has thus far taken in the fight for Democracy. Alfred Debrecht, who during the past two liberty loan drives has acted as chairman of the Johns­ burg organization, also acted as chair­ man of this gathering. After briefly explaining the purpose of the meeting he introduced Mayor Calvin J. Hen­ dricks of Harvard as the principal speaker of the evening. Mr. Hen­ dricks responded with one of the abl­ est addresses listened to by a Johns­ burg audience in a long, long time. He was given a hearty applause. Rev. M. J McEvoy, pastor of St. Pat­ rick's church, McHenry, also gave a very splendid talk, while C. W. Steng- er and Simon S toff el responded in their u^ual pleasing manner when called upon for short talks. The addresses were interspersed with musical numbers and all in all it was an occasion such as has never before occurred here and one that doubtless left a lasting impression upon those in attendance. Before the meeting came to a close the chairman of the evening again arose and thanked the speakers for their presence, Rev. Wm. Weber and the sisters of the Johns­ burg school and all others who had helped to make the event such a memorable occasion. ' RING WOOD Beet Parks of Hartlatod was in town Friday.
