Word was received on Friday of last wesk that Pvt. Bernard Bauer had arrived safely overseas. Edward Boigtr, son «f Mrs. Ellen Bolger of this village, left Monday to enlist in the navy at the Great Lakes Naval Training station. Pvt. Everett Hunter, Jr., arrived home Sunday evening from Camp Fre­ mont, Calif., where he was sent for service in the base hospital last May. He received an honorable discharge. A post card from Mathias W. Schaid, son of Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Schaid, who reside east of this vil­ lage, states that the young man is now stationed at Caittp McArthur, Waco, Texas. Ord. Sergeant Frank Jus ten writes from Camp Sheridan, Ala., under date of Nov. 12, that it was too bad that they could not have waited an­ other week before signing the armis­ tice, as they were slated to leave for a port of embarkation that week. According to the metropolitan papers, ou. boys who have been in training in various camps in this country, may be, expected home at any time. The work of demobilization has already started and will be continued until the camps in this country have been practically emptied. ; In a letter from Pvt. Wm. Schaefer his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nick Bohr, Broad St., he stated that he ex­ pected to arrive in Panama, S. A., on Thanksgiving day. He is with the 12th cavalry at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., and would leave from that place. His mail hereafter will be sent in care of the Y. M. C. A. Notations from a letter written by Stephen Adams dated Aug. 6: "A few weeks ago 1 saw Jerry's aero­ plane come over and set fire to four of the allies' balloons and then the allies went over and got a few of theirs together with two planes. The Germans won't last very long, because they know that the Ameri­ cans are too good for them." " William O'Connor, who was em­ ployed at the Martin B. Schmitt ton- sorial shop in this village before his induction into the army,* is still sta­ tioned at Camp Fremont, Calif., where he has been following his vo­ cation ever since his arrival there a few months ago. Corp. LeOrr W. Mead, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Mead of Baymonds- ville, Texas, who has been in actual service over in France for some time past, has seen considerable of the "real stuff" over there and he writes that a number of his friends had lost their lives in the mighty struggle. Everyone in McHenry is now anxiously awaiting letters from our boys who were actually engaged in the great world conflict, which came to an end on Nov. 11. While some of the parents of the young men in service have not heard from across in two or three months, they can scarcely await the messages which all hope will tell them that their boys are safe. Arthur Meyers is still stationed at Laredo, Texas, and, according to re­ cent letters from him, he is not par­ ticularly in love with that rattle snake country, as he calls it. At the time of writing his last letter on Oct. 25 the boys in his camp were being put thru very stiff drills and he was hop­ ing that orders wpuld soon come that would send them across to the other side. Richard B. Walsh of this village, who volunteered his services to his country several weeks ago and who was to report for duty last week, re­ ceived word cancelling the order and consequently will remain in McHenry for the present at least. Mr. Walsh expects to again take up his vocation as a stock and bond salesman, but ' how soon he will return to work he is unable to say at this time. John Unti, brother of Chas. Unti, the McHenry ice cream manufacturer, was able to leave the hospital at Camp Grant a week ago last Monday and he is expected home on a thirty day furlough some time this or next ww*. j oiui, it will iw remwn'uwcu. suffered a severe attack of pneumonia a few weeks ago and for a time it was feared that he would not be able to survive the clutches of the disease. "Kelly" Conway, who is a member of the tank corps' apd stationed at Camp Polk, Raleigh, N. C., writes that he expects to be out of detention in a short time. Most of the fellows in that camp hail from Chicago and there's no chance of getting lonesome. Plenty of interesting work. "Kelly" feels that it will be a long time be­ fore he will be able to get into a tank, as the new men are given the infan­ try drills first. Sydney E. Bullock, who left Mc­ Henry about five years ago, has been in actual service in Egypt since. He is in the mqtor boat service, having charge of a section. Mr. Bullock was an employe at the Hunter Boat com­ pany's factory here during his stay in McHenry and has many warm friends here, who are pleased to know that he is well and happy, the on the fighting lines for the past four years. His home is in England and letters to friends here say that he expects to return to the parental home soon. Dr. D. G. Wells left this village last Friday evening for Camp Green, Ft, Oglethorpe, Ga. His commission is that of first lieutenant. He enlisted his services in the medical corps at the time war was declaredly the U. S. A. Dr. Wells leaves a large prac­ tice and we have not heard what ar­ rangements were made for a substi­ tute doctor until his return. Having a knowledge of the French language and WW t* spsak It flnon^hai sent from His many , Igifn wiili him the best of gob# Twfc and saife heme. Fred Nickels, ma of Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Nickels of this village, who en­ tered the Great Lakes Naval Train­ ing station a few months ago, is now stationed at Puget Sound, Wash. In a recent letter to McHenry, friends he inquires about the hunting around McHenry and then adds that he sees thousands of ducks on the hay every day. He also writes that he saw two fellows come in the other night with about 500 dog salmon, for which tthey found a ready sale at t>0 cents and $1.00 apiece. At the time of writing the letter on Nov. 8, he was hoping that the "flu" ban would soon be lifted at Seattle, so that he might get a chance to see that flourishing western city. E. M. Geier, proprietor of the Cen- terville pool hall, has just received a very interesting letter from Lewis Stoffel, who has been in the thick of the fight "over there" for some time past. The letter is dated October 7 and from it we have taken the follow­ ing excerpts: "Still plenty of excite­ ment. Jerry's shells are around us every day. Yes, I just heard one right now, the plaster came down off our ceiling. You can put this date down in your book at 7:45 p. m. But then, that's nothing, we hear that every few minutes. He puts one in here and we give him about twenty in return. Jerry's aeroplanes come over every once in awhile and drop their hardware stores and bocco-iron. Walter Geske was just here to see me. He belongs to the train. He's the only fellow from home in tips outfit. I see Steve Adams and all the Johnsburg fellows and the" gang from Woodstock, so I am pretty well set. They are in the lines now, but expect to come out in a few days." HEY! HEY! HAY--Alfalfa hay now on hand in any quantity. Choices quality on the market. Phone 438, G. S.

Perry, Former County Treas­ urer, Shows Rugged Personality [Harvard Herald] Perry, former county treas­ urer, ex-banker at McHenry and re­ tired general merchant, represents a type of the New Englander who is rare in McHenry county atihis time. Tho past his eighty-second year, Mr. Perry drives his five passenger auto­ mobile with the steadiness arid con­ fidence of a jwuthful chauffeur. Monday, Nov. 4, following a rain that made muddy roads, Mr. Perry drove his car from McHenry to Woodstock to attend to business affairs at the county seat city. He made the usual call in ' the court house offices, but found only one who was there when he held the office of county treasurer. Theo. Hamer, cir­ cuit court clerk and recorder, was a clerk in the county clerk's office dur­ ing the time Mr. Perry .had charge of the county's strong box. I have become such a poor writer I can scarcely read my hand writing, so I just came over to have my type­ writer repaired," . he told a court house official, after which he pro­ ceeded to relate interesting incidents of early days in the county because "Squire Perry," as his friends de­ light to call him, is entitled to classi­ fication among the pioneers of Mc­ Henry county, having reached the county at such an early date that few remain of those he knew inti­ mately and well in tfie days that are no more.

OF NORTHERN ILLINOIS f V v« rnmmh Coal Profits? 1 • iwift ft Company has frequently stated that its profit on beef averages only one- fourth of a cent a pound, and hence has practically no effect on the price. Comparison has been made by the Federal Trade Commission of this profit with the profit on coal, and it has pointed out that anthracite coal operators are content with a profit of 25 cents a ton, whereas the beef profit of one-fourth of a cent a poudd means a profit of $5.00 a ton. The comparison does not point out that anthracite coal at the seaboard is worth at wholesale about $7.00 A ton, whereas a ton of beef of fair qualify $400.00 wholesale. To carry the comparison further, the 25 cent profit cm coal is 3% P0, cent of the $7.00 value. The $5.00 profit on beef is only 1% V** cent of the $400.00 value.
