To Parishioners of St. Mary's Catho­ lic Church Sierra Madre, Calif., Sept. 27, 1918. Dear Father Berthold--I see from last week's Chicago Wochenblatt that you have begun the building of a good, ^practical and nice church, judg­ ing from the description you gave me of it in your letter, which I read with great interest. I am glad you are getting on well. Have courage, for you will have a hard task for a few years and then you can look back with joy on the sacrifices and labor you have brought and the good people of your flock will rejoice with you and will be proud of what they have achieved; I hope the few "slackers" there may be will soon come forward and do their share for the good work. It would he too bad to see any of the German speaking people of McHenry Puir away from the rest.* They have always been so united, like a big family. In the best of regulated fam­ ilies they have little disagreements; they fight them out and then they set­ tle down and all goes harmoniously again. The ancestors of the Germans of Johnsburg and McHenry most all come from Mayen, east of Trier, and near Coblenz, a district lying between the rivers Rheine and Masel. Their Johnsburg and McHenry descendants are all more or less related to one another, either by ties of blood or marriage. All speak the same dia­ lect in German and it would look bad to see any of them pull away from their kinsmen. If ever there was a time when the Germans and descendants of Gemans in this country should stand by one another it is now. Altho we all do our duty to our adopted country faithfully as citizens, we are watched and de­ spised because we have a drop of German blood in ojjr1 veins. We of German descent must do our duty in every way to our country here, but also should sympathize with one an­ other in our trials and keep harmony and love among us. If we wish and hope to bring about the brotherhood of man on earth we must begin right at home. We are hoping that democ­ racy will soon rule the whole world; that kings, kaisers, emperors ^nd all autocrats and money-kings will be soon thrown on the junk pile; that the world will be ruled for the benefit of the masses and not the classes. That spirit was in the hearts of the Ger­ mans when in 1848 they struck for liberty and equality for true democ­ racy and most of the Germans that migrated to this country since then were imbued with that spirit and they and their descendants-have ever struggled for true democracy. Let us hope that the thousands of men of German blood who went across to fight for true democracy may soon return to tell us that at last we have got what our grandfathers fought for--liberty, equality and the brother­ hood of man. Meanwhile, I, as former pastor, and a "Trierer Landsman," who loves old McHenry and the good people of St. Mary's parish, and wishes their suc­ cess and happiness, would beg and en­ treat them to be of one mind and heart in helping to build up and keep up their nice parish. United you will stand--divided you will fall. If everyone does his duty according to his means you will succeed easily. I wish I could come to McHenry and have a good heart to heart talk with all nay dear "Landsleute" there. I think I could get them all to join the big family circle to which they belong. Father Berthold, you may make any use of this letter you may deem fit or good. You will be very buifey with yonr church b-'ilding war1.; now fui some time. Should you find time now and then to drop me a line I shall al­ ways be glad to hear and get news from dear old McHenry. I am feeling pretty "well and am do­ ing my little parish work here right along. Wishing you all success in every way, I am, Yours, ^ ' ' M. ,W; Barth.

D. F. Quinlan. Cashier «f Ringwood Bank Away at Hia Late H«me an Mon­ day of This Week Onee more the angel of death has entered our midst, claiming one of Ringwood's most useful and best be­ loved citizen, Henry F. Wharton, who passed peacefully from this life to the great beyond Monday evening, Oct. 14, 1918, at 7:30 o'clock, after an ill­ ness of but a few days, succumbing after a brave fight against that dread disease, pneumonia. Why the king of terrors claimed him thus ruthlessly, who 'shall say? Man is disposed, at time, to rebel against the disposition of Providence; and standing in the presence of of one who was dear in life friends protest that fate has been unkind. The last act in the drama of the life of our deceased friend typefies the utter unselfish and generous char­ acter of the man. Always mindful of others, he remained bravely at his post, helping and serving his family and friends, neglecting his own per­ sonal welfare until nature rebelled, the disease which caused his death being far advanced when he took his bed. - * Henry F. Wharton, son ot R. G." and Anna H. Wharton, was born at Gilmore, Illinois, January 8, 1881, and passed peacefully from this life on October 14, 1918, aged 37 years, 9 months and 6 days. He received his education in the public schools of Illinois and Califor­ nia, where he removed with his par­ ents when seven years of age. At the age of fifteen he united with the Methodist Episcopal church and lived a consistant Christian life until claimed by death. Upon the return of the family to his native state, Henry began his life of usefulness as a clerk in a store at Edgewood, 111., later accepting a clerical position at Sadoris, 111., at which place he met his life companion, Myrtle Pearl Berry, to whom he was married July 4, 1908. To this union two children were born --Doris Vivian, age nine, and,, Norman Stewart, age two. In 1910 Mr. Wharton was engaged as manager of the Klemeyer Lumber company at Bridgeport, 111., and two years later removed to Gary, Ind., where he accepted a better position. Gary was his home until about four years /ago. when he and his excellent family became valued and useful cit­ izens of Ringwood. During the first year of his residence there hp was manager of the lumber yard and two years ago was influential in causing the establisment of the Bank of Ring- wood, since which time he held the responsible position of cashier of the institution. How well and efficiently he discharged his duties is well known to every one in this community arid his genial good nature, pleasant smile and kindly word will be missed by all. The deceased was an honored mem­ ber of the Masonic, Modern Woodman and Mystic Worker lodges.. Besides the grief stricken wi^e and two children, there are left to mourn father, mother, two brothers, Charles of Edmund, Wis., and Lawrence H. of the Great Lakes Naval Training station; also three sisters, Mrs. Clara Brown of Salem, 111., Flora and Laura of Woodstock, 111., numerous other relatives and a host of friends. Our departed friend had lived among us only a few short years, yet his life was an open book, absolutely frank, friendly and generous, he endeared himself to all. A companion to the young and to the little children, a wise counselor for the aged, a brother to the youth and middle-aged and a friend to all. Varily in the passing out of the life of our noble friend and neighbor the stricken family and rel­ atives are suffering the greatest loss that humans are called^upon tp bear. The loss to our community is great. With a mind rich and fragrant with the perfume of sweet charity, clean tempered and honest in his way of life why was he chosen by the dark winged angel? The babe of unknown promise and the aged drift to the other shore, and we know they have yielded to nature's normal course. Bat our friend, full armored with high com­ mission for his world's work, falls like a strong oak riven by the blast. Still in young manhood the life of the beloved friend held many possibilities. If honest dealing and filling a sphere with wholesome joy and high pur­ pose is a measure of a man's being, then Henry Wharton has not lived in in vain. Men loved him most who knew him best. It was good to have been his friend, to have felt the im­ press of his heroic courage, to have lived in companionship with his virile manhood. Surely the conscious­ ness of work well done inspired the gentle resignation with which he serenely accepted the decree that sent him from our midst. The funeral took place from hjs lalfce home in Ringwood at 3:u0 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Rev. W. E. 1' Grose of Chicago officiating.

WESTFALL WOOD BURN DEAD Passed Away at His Lai# Horn at f -i ' Belridere ̂ Weatfall Wood bum, sop of l(r. and Mrs. David P. Woodburn of this vil­ lage, who grew to manhood here, passed away at his late home, corner East Madison street and McKinley avenue, Belvidere, 111., at 11:40 o'clock last Friday night, a victim of that much dreaded disease of influenza fol­ lowed by pneumonia. He was ill but a week. The deceased will be favorably re­ membered by many of our people as the family made this village their home for quite a number of years. He attended the public school here and after leaving same went to El­ gin, where he was employed for a number of years. He has been a res­ ident of Belvidere for about eight years, where he was employed at the National sewing machine factory. During the past three months he worked at the Parsons casket hard­ ware factory. -- There are left to survive him a wife and two children, Lenora and Winfleld; his parents, who reside in this village, and four brothers, as follows: Wayne of Rockford, Wirth, who is at the present time confined in the Woodstock hospital, Winfleld of Ft. Wayne, Ind., and Wallace of Woodstock. The funeral services wore held from the home at one o'clock on Monday afternoon of this week, Rev. R. E. E. Harkness officiating. Burial took place in the Belvidere cemetery^ Mr. Woodburn was about thirty-five years of age. His many friends in McHenry extend their "deepest sympa­ thy to the bereaved relatives. Entertains at Bunco Party Mrs. F. H. Schau entertained a company McHenry ladies at a bunco party at her summer home at Rose- dale on Thursday afternoon-of last week.

Not only did our good people conte forward and subscribe its full quota, but they have done even better, and by the time that the loan closes next Saturday night our records will show that we have subscribed to bonds to the amount that will represent in round numbers a total of nearly $100,000. TWs splendid record has been made possible thru the work of the best working org;anization in McHenry county and the splendid co-operation of our people and it is needless to say that, the workers as well as the sub­ scribers are entitled to all the praise that goes with this grand, patriotic accomplishment. ^McHenry has never faltered in any one of the various drives that have been made here iA connection with the winning of the war and, while the present task, which is to come to a close next Saturday, looked like a mighty big undertaking (and this it certainly was), our quota was made up in a comparatively easy manner, judging from the work that has been and is being done by workers in other localities. The true 100 per cent American spirit thus exemplified here places our village and its people in a position high up on the altar of honor and The Plaindealer takes this oppor­ tunity of extending its thanks to those who are in any manner responsible for giving our community this excel­ lent standing in the eyfes of the entire country. It is indeed gratifying to our hard­ working and never-tiring county chair­ man, C. W. Stenger, to know that his little community has set such a splen­ did example, one that iB now being followed out by various other county organizations in their endeavor to put thejir respective communities over the top by the time the gong sounds the closing of the drive. To begin with, the village of Mc­ Henry was thoroly organized for the work that had been laid out and every one who shouldered the responsibility of getting in the subscriptions worked hard and unceasingly from the very first day of the drive until the present time and, altho there are still a few more subscriptions to come in, the workers feel that their duty to their country is just about completed. Every one of the workers set out with a spirit to do his or her very best and that they have accomplished their task and done it well no one can deny. The work of these individuals was made easy as well as pleasant thru the co-operation of our good citizens and we, believe that we are not speak­ ing an untruth when we say that each and every purchaser of a liberty bond today feels mighty proud to be the owner of such. It proves beyond a shadow, of doubt that each and every subscriber realizes to the fullest ex­ tent the important factor that we really are in this gigantic conflict, for without our money our cause would be a forlorn hope. During the entire drive everyone in this community has taken renewed interest in the world war. All have made a sacrifice and all have bought to the very utmost of their ability. In fact, it lust seemed as if everyone appointed himself or herself as a com­ mittee of one to see that McHenry went over the top with honor. Our deeds and actions, combined with those of the people of the entire U. S. A., have already started the opening of the gates to an honorable peace, which is sure to come to us and our allies in due time, and when those brave boys are given back to us we will all be in a position, at least here in McHenry, to greet them with open arms and tell them that we who re­ mained at home also fought the battle, of victory and fought it well. Fox Lake Boy Returns The village of Fox Lake paid hom­ age and deference to the first returned Lake county marine, Noal White, in­ jured in service abroad, when on Tues­ day afternoon he left the Great Lakes station and rode in an automobile to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Ed. White, well known residents of Fox Lake, to greet them for the first time since his return from abroad. He has been at the Great Lakes sta­ tion for the past ten days, being one of the eleven men sent back from France to recuperate at the big train­ ing station after being injured in ser- vioe. Change In Tbae Card , ;;.y A number of the summer trains over this branch of the C. & N. W. railroad have been discontinued since last Sat­ urday. These include the Saturday afternoon train, one Sunday train and the early .Monday morning tr*||. • 'U hoard of « As an extra precaution against the spread of any disease that may have infected this community, our schools, moving picture show, public halls and all places of public amusement were ordered closed the first of the week. As an extra precaution against the spread of any disease that may have infected this community, our village board met on Monday evening of this week and passed a resolution which calls for the closing of our schools, churches, moving picture show, lodge halls, dance halls and all other places of public gatherings. Our schools were the first to observe the order, they closing on Monday of thife week, while J. W. Smith, pro­ prietor of the Central opera house, also closed down, there having been no shows at that popular playhouse since Sunday evening. The pastors of the various churches the village were' notified this (Thursday) morning and, altho masses have been read at the Catholic church here every morning this week, we are informed by the clergymen of Mc­ Henry that they are willing to abide by the ruling, which means that no masses will be read until such time as the village board and health see fit to lift the ban Mayor Chamberlin informed us this (Thursday) morning that over at Woodstock, where everything has been closed for nearly a week, very grati­ fying results have already been ob­ tained, and as a result of this the ban in that city may be lifted at any time. Children, who have been sent home from school, are also warned to keep off the streets. If everyone'will ob­ serve the closing and do everything they can the danger will soon have passed and McHenry will be spared much sickness and possibly deaths. The village board and board of health thus kindly ask our people to co-op­ erate so that this desired end may be obtained. Just how long the schools and* other public places will remain closed in McHenry depends upon local health conditions. At this time we do not know of a single serious case of ill­ ness, altho there may be some. How­ ever, taking into consideration that the influenza and pneumonia epidemic seems to be on the wane thruout this entire locality, it looks to us as if the present ban will be of very short duration. AN INFLUENZA WARNING „ ** -- -- - -v Issued by Dr. C. St. Clair Drake of the State Dept. of Public Health An influenza warning has been is­ sued by Dr. C. St Clair Drake, direc­ tor of the state department of pub­ lic health, to every man, woman and child in Illinois. The warning is to be "On Guard.*' On guard against the careless sneezer, cougher and spitter because such per­ sons are largely responsible for the widespread epidemic of influenza, which already has invaded 800 Illinois cities and towns and has caused hunderds of deaths. The rules issued are as follows Do not become panicky. Do not visit the si^; ^ Keep out of crowds,'" If * i,... ? ; Avoid dusty places. 5* : Work, sleep and live in the open air. Avoid contact with persons who have "colds." Keep your hands clean and keep your fingers out of your mouth. If you get a cold, go home, go to bed and have a doctor called. Dress warmly, do not permit your­ self to get over tired, avoid chills. The influenza germs are spread by careless sneezing, coughing and spit­ ting. Do not use patent medicines or other so-called "cures.'" If you are tired, chilled or physically below par," you are most likely to be infected with influenza. If you hear of a case of known or suspected influenza, report it at once to the local health officer. If you get a cold, cough, sneeze and spit in a cloth which must be burned or thoroly disinfected. , ^ \ Vi Sick and Conveleseent Mr. and Mrs. Nick P. Justen, who have been confined to their home thru illness, have entirely recovered. Wm. Pries, the Centerville meat dealer, is again up and around after a three days' confinement to his home thru illness. Geo. Buss, an employe at the Terra Cotta factory, is again able to up and round after a short confinement to his home thru illness. Police Officer Jack Walsh was able to be up and around this (Thursday) morning after a few days' confinement to his home thru illness. Jacob Justen, the Centerville furni­ ture dealer, who has been confined to his home thru illness, is again able to be about his place of business. Village Clerk W. G. Schreiner, who has been on the sick list, is again up and around and will soon be able to resume his duties at the Oliver type-1 writer factory at Woodsfcxdt. DEMONSTRATION LAST SATURDAY Parade la Feature of the Day--Lib­ erty Loan Honor Flag Is Raised Amid Cheering of Big Gathering Another very splendid patriotic demonstration occurred in this village last Saturday afternoon, when the oh- =. jii servance of Liberty day took place. • As announced in last week's issue of The Plaindealer, the day was maked with a big parade, followed hy - the raising of McHenry's liberty loaifir;C^|;: honor flag and a sljprt program. The parade, almost a half mile in length and participated in by the Mc­ Henry Boy Scouts, school children, liberty loan workers, business pm and citizens in general, left the He- Henry public school grounds at 2:30. The parade was headed by Earl Wateh and Frank Chance Page, who rode on spotted Shetland ponies. Following these were the Boy Scouts, school chil­ dren, liberty loan workers, lodges, business men, citizens and three beau­ tiful as well as most appropriately decorated floats. The line of march was as follows: Starting from in front of the public school building east to Green street, north on Green street to Elm street, east on Elm street to Water street, north on Water street to Pearl streeet, west on Pearl street to Green street, south on Green street to Waukegan street, west on Wauke­ gan street tcf Railroad street, south <6m railroad street to Main street, east on Main street to Green street, north on Green street to the village hall, where the flag raising and program toolf place. The spectacle was most impressim ; Ttue to the 100 per cent America^ spirit that has Deen manifested in this village ever since the outbreak of the terrible conflict in which our country is now engaged, nearly every business house in town closed down during the two hours thrt the parade and exer­ cises were being held Each and every one who took part in the parade is worthy of the eredftr of doing his or her part in making Liberty day, 1918, one that will long remain in the memory of those who witnessed same.' All of the liberty loan workers appeared in the parade, each carrying a large American flag. We also wish to make special mention of the little folks, the Boy Scouts and the high school girls who rode in the floats, not forgetting the many grown people who joined in to make the event a success. The exercises in front of the village hall consisted of the rasing of the honor flag, together with a beautiful American flag, a short speech by Post­ master T. J. Walsh and the singing of "America" by the entire assemblage* It was truly a typical American dem­ onstration. Mr. Walsh's speech was in perfect keeping with the day and when he announced that the village of McHenry had over-subscribed her quota to the fourth liberty loan by $20,000 a mighty cheer went up from those assembled. A more patriotic spirit could not have prevailed and the- day will go down in history as one of the grandest and most memorable th^jt the village has ever experienced. - -i 'A :1 - Friday and Saturday of this jare children's $1.00 days at the^Biake .. ^ sisters' millinery parlor.
