HENDRICKS Passed Away Friday,"Sept. 27--Death Doe to Pneumonia Calvin J. Hendricks, mayor of Har­ vard and Republican nominee for county judge in McHenry county, died at his home in that city early Friday morning, Sept. 27. He had been confined to his bed just ten days, starting with a siege of grip, which developed into pneumonia. Dr. C. C. Peck was called into consul­ tation by Dr. C. W. Goddard, the fam­ ily physician. Mr. Hendricks had completed his county judgeship nomination, which was strenuous for several months, and, tho strong and robust, the long hours of travel over the county and numerous appointments left him in an exhausted condition and made his .case alarming from the outset. Atty. Hendricks w,as one of the best lawyers in northern Illinois. He was born in Richmond township, this coun­ ty, forty-six years ago ancf admitted to the bar in 1895. He moved to Har-1 vard in 1896. In 1899 he was elected "city attorney for Harvard and held the office for four successive terms. In 1904 he was appointed master in chancery of the circuit court of Mc­ Henry county and served twelve years. In 1915 he was elected mayor of that city without opposition and re­ elected in 1917 without opposition. Atty. Hendricks was well known and universally admired thruout the county. His nobleness of character and goodness toward his fellowmen was recognized thruout the county and his loss will be deeply felt. When news of his death reached this village on Friday it seemed impossible and many could not believe the fact until later in the day. Besides his widow, be is survived by three daughters, Marion, Katherine and Harriet; a brother, Frank J. Hen- drick, newspaper editor, and two sis­ ters, Miss Sibyl Hendricks and Mrs. David T. Smiley, wife of Judge Smiley of Woodstock. His funeral was held at Harvard Sunday and was largely attended. It was conducted by members of the local Masonic lodge, of which he was a member.

The statement continues : In the new draft the district boards are charged with the duty of putting into deferred classes those persons who are more likely to further the war by remaining in civilian occupa­ tions than by entering the army. Accordingly, three advisers are to be selected for each district board--one for agriculture, one for labor and one for other occupations. The agricul­ tural adviser will be appointed by the board upon the recommendation of the secretary of agriculture. The advis­ ers are not members of the board, but may, when invited, attend its meet­ ings. How Agricultural Adviser Will Aid The duties of the agricultural ad­ viser will be to furnish to the board facts relative to farm-labor require­ ments, not only of his own district, but of the whole country. He should be the repository of all facts having relation to the deferment of agricul­ tural workers, whether these be nec­ essary farm "laborers, managers or operators. He will be expected to advise the district boards as to a shortage or surplus of necessary farm workers for any given district, as well as for the entire nation. Such infor­ mation will be supplied to the advisers by the department of agriculture. This will iqake it possible to have nec­ essary workers transferred from dis­ tricts in which they may not be nec­ essary to other districts in which they are solely needed. The adviser may also concern him­ self with individual cases that come before the district board. He will have the right, under certain condi­ tions, to examine the questionnaires and other records in the files of the local board for the purpose of ascer­ taining whether persons entitled to de­ ferred classification have actually claimed it. In case he finds the names of such registrants he may file for them a claim for deferred classifica­ tion with the district board, which, in turn, may require the local board to certify the questionnaire and record of any such registrants, for considera­ tion. Reasonable time will be given for the purpose of obtaining informa­ tion and supplying the affidavits re­ quired. If a local board determines to consider a case for deferred classi­ fication because a registrant is en­ gaged in a necessary occupation^Jiot- withstanding no claim for deterred classification on that ground has been made, it shall endorse the recommen­ dation on the questionnaires of the reg­ istrant and forward it to the district board having jurisdiction. The dis­ trict board will thereupon consider the case and proceed to classify the regis­ trant, notwithstanding the fact that no claim for deferred classification by or in respect of the registrant has been made. t Claims la Behalf of Necessary Em­ ployees A further duty with which the ad­ viser is charged is to confer with em­ ployers of necessary farm workers, and to instruct them as to their right under the regulations to file a claim for deferred classification in respect of any registrant who has failed or refused to file a claim for deferred classification in his own behalf. This, in the opinion of the war department, is a very important matter. The ap­ parent injustice of placing many reg­ istrants in class i is often due to the fact that employers havei failed to make claims for deferred classifica­ tion on behalf of necessary workers. It is to avoid a repetition of this trouble that farmers should see that all of their necessary employes, whether sons or other laborers, of the draft age have made for them just claims for deferred classification. One important explanation is made in the new selective service regula­ tions in connection with the expres­ sion "skilled farm laborer." The questionnaire provides deferred class­ ification for the "necessary skilled farm laborer in necessary agricultural enterprise." The new regulations pro­ vide that in class II shall be placed any registrant found to be engaged in "necessary" agricultural enterprise, and found to be necessary to such en­ terprise in the capacity of a farm laborer--"especially fitted for the work in which he is engaged." This quoted phrase constitutes an explana-' tion of what is meant by "skilled" as applied to farm laborer. The ex­ pression will make easier the deter­ mination of the status of many reg­ istrants. War Service In Right Place The purpose in the appointing of advisers is to place men where they can do most to help win the war. These advisers will be able to help greatly the district boards to keep in agriculture the necessary workers. These workers, whatever may be their inclination to enter military ser­ vice, should stand ready to serve in any capacity in which they can con­ tribute most toward a speedy ending of the war. In order that this may be done a frank statement should, in each case, be made to the boards. It is believed that it will frequently re­ quire. as much courage on the part of many men to remain i i their civilian occupations as to waiv<- deferment This effort to keep xnen in industry, |j mi ihwih i and the trenehes, sfefttftd not be abused so as to peftnit ̂ tlri'lrtaaaier to escape military duty. The neces­ sities for raising an army are para­ mount. Every man that can be spared will be needed and needed badly to bring the enemy to his senses. The adviser should be assisted in every possible way by every legitimate agri­ cultural interest to find the men that can be spared for military duty, but also to keep those that are essential to the maintenance of a proper food supply. SALARIES ARE INCREASED Four County Officials Will More Pay Receive [Harvard Herald] tfclpervisors of McHenry county in session at Woodstock on Monday of this week voted an increase in sal­ aries to apply in the cases of four county offices to be filled at the No­ vember 5 election,, the offices thus fa vored being county judge, county clerk, county treasurer and county sheriff. The salary increase was presented in the form of a report from the finance committee with a favorable recommendation and it was adopted by a unanimous vote. The salary now paid incumbents of the offices in ques tion and the future annual salary in each instance is given below: present Future • ; ^ Salary Salary County - jadg* $2,000 $2,500 County clerk .. <.. 2,000 2,500 County treasurer . 2,250 2,500 County sheriff ..... .... 1,400 1,700 \ In the case of the sheriff, the in­ cumbent is also furnished " free of charge a house, light, heat and fuel, while the county treasurer has here­ tofore paid clerk hire out of the $2,250 allowed as compensation. The treasurer's office hereafter will be in vested, with added duties by reason of the absorption of tax collector's work and the readjustment of a new sys­ tem. The salary of the county superin­ tendent of schools, which official will be elected this fall, is provided for thru a state law, his annual salary being something in excess of $3,100. The salary of the state's attorney is covered by a legislative enactment and pays $3,900. The circuit court clerk and recorder, the other hold­ over county official, receives an an­ nual salary of $2,000. No change can be made therein during the occupancy of the incumbent, but an increase or decrease may be voted by the board to apply to his successor. Presentation of the salary increase report prompted Supervisor Wright of Marengo to make the inquiry if in the future the county judge would not be expected to pay for the services of outside judges called to perform court work in this county in the absence of the county court jurist. County Judge Smiley, an auditor in the assembly room, was on his feet in an instant and with the declaration that what he was about to say was something that Marengo supervisor could "put in his pipe and smoke it," he 6aid, that inasmuch as the board had not increased his salary, he was unable to say what the attitude of his successor would be respecting the raised. art alluding to the Chris Eickstadt case of Riley, which took place while I was at Fortress Monroe saying goodbye ta my son, whom I expected was about to depart overseas," the county judge said. v State's Attorney Lumley, however, volunteered the information sought by the Marengo supervisor by saying in substance that because of the in­ timate relations existing- between him­ self and the Republican party nomi­ nee for county judge, he felt sure in Assuring, the board that t|»e question of outside county judges' per diem would be paid for personally by Mr. Hendricks, whose election was only a matter of form. The state's attorney further said Mr. Hendricks had made such pledges in his pr6-primary cam­ paign and they would be carried out he felt sure. v' Final action was taken in two claims filed by Mr. and Mrs J. E. Cun­ ningham of Harvard in the case of Mary J. Sullivan, an occupant in the Cunningham home last winter, when she was taken ill with a contagious disease. Mrs. Cunningham cared for her, acting as a nurse, and Mr. Cun­ ningham was obliged to vacate Wis home for a month. They presented claims in the sum of $230 for services, house rent, and other expenses Supervisors Walters and Harrison led in opposition to the claims on the grounds that they were excessive. M. A. Carmack, attorney, represented the claimants. The committee to which the claims were referred rec­ ommended $65 to each of the claim­ ants, which was approved by the board by unanimous vote. The annual tax levy resolution was presented and passed by unanimous vote, the total being $65,000, which is the same'as the amount levied eaci of the last two years. The board finds satisfaction in the knowledge that ni increase was necessary, notwithstand­ ing the prevailing high cost of living. It costs McHenry county $1,500 "an­ nually to care for its blind, there be­ ing ten in the county, and a state law Stipulates that an annual sum of $150 be paid each person thus afflicted. Four of the number to receive this compensation reside at Crystal Lake, two at Marengo and one each in the towns of Greenwood, Dorr, Alden and Algonquin. Abandonment of the project to build state roads from Harvard to­ ward Alden and to extend the Wood­ stock-Harvard hard road was fore­ shadowed in the action of the board going on record to loan the $13,000 of state aid road money intended for this purpose on approved security bearing the highest possible interest.
