David Marker, who is encamped at IMfisacola, PlaM spent a part of his recent furlough with Mr. and Mrs. W. E. Whiting southwest of town. McHenry relatives who have boys in the Blackhawk division have letters telling them that they may be expect­ ed home soon. Some of the boats car­ rying this division have already ar­ rived, while others are now on their way. Pvt. Wm. Niesen, who has bfeen in service at Augusta, Ga., wired his parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Niesen, here Sunday that he was on his way to Campx Grant. The telegram was sent from Tennessee. * Alfred Bonslett, son of Mr. and Mrs. John W. Bonslett of this village, is home on a ten days' furlough. Al­ fred entered the Great Lakes Naval station last summer and of late has been stationed at the U. S. Naval Air station at Brunswick, Ga. Walter H. Fay, son of Mr.and Mrs. John W. Fay of this village, arrived in New York from overseas duties the latter part of last week. Walter has been transferred to Fort Monroe, Newport News, and expects to be mus­ tered out of the service in a very short time. Germer Petesch, son of Mr. afid Mrs. N. H. Petesch, who recently received his honorable discharge from the ser­ vice, is a guest in the home of his parents here. Germer has accepted position at Birmingham, Ala., and will leave for that city shortly to enter -upon his new duties. Anton Schneider, who recently re­ ceived his honorable discharge from the U. S. army, and who during his training was stationed at Camp Fre­ mont, Calif., was so favorably im­ pressed with the West that ije is ser­ iously considering going back to the state of sunshine sflfd flowers. Pvt. Chas. S. Nye, who has served as bugler at Camp Sherman, Chilli- cothe, Ohio, . accompanied by John Welly and Otto J. Nye, residents of Alvado, Ohio, have been guests of Dr. N. J. Nye and Prof. A. E. Nye in this village and Chas, Stoffel and fam- ily at Ringwood during the past week. Mrs. R. T. Wray received the an­ nouncement that her husband, who is now at Nevers, France, has received commission as lieutenant. The news will be gladly received by friends over here, who are proud of his ad­ vancement. Lieut. Wray has. served in the U. S. medical corps for the -jiast year or more. The 129th infantry 33rd division, is now located at Tijbton. Many of the McHenry county boys belong to this division and, according to the very latest reports, these Boys are sched­ uled for an early return home. Some of the boys have written to home folks, telling them that they expect to sail sometime next month. Homer M. Harper^ formerly ana- ployed as official tester for the Mc- Henry-Nunda Cow Testing associa­ tion, who has been in service and sta­ tioned at Camp Randall, Madison, Wis., has received his honorable dis­ charge. He passed the latter part of last week as the guest of McHenry friends. v Geo. King, son of Mr. and Mrs. John King of this village, who has been in the service since the latter part of July, arrived in McHenry last Sunday morning, having received his honorable discharge. He has been do­ ing military police service in New Jer­ sey. Geo. is looking fine, evidencing that the army game has agreed with him. Peter Neiss, son. of Mr. and Mrs. John Neiss of this village', is stationed near Brest, France. Peter, it will be remembered, left with a McHenry county contingent the latter part of last April and received his early train­ ing at Camp Fremont, Calif. A num­ ber of the boys who left McHenry at the same time are now stationed in far-away Siberia. Albert Freund, w£o recently. |p- ceived his honorable discharge from th U. S. service at Camp Grant, is visiting among McHenry relatives this week. Mr. Freund's father, Jos. Freund, many years ago conducted the Water street meat market and the family will be remembered by the older residents* of this village. They now reside in Dakota. Mrs. Ellen Walsh of this place has received word that her grandson, James Costelk), who has not been heard from for. some time, is safe in France. He was in the battle at Verdun and escaped without a scratch. His captain has given him permission to visit his brother's grave in the American cemetery near Bordeaux before his return to the U. S. A. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Cos- tello, reside at Elgin. The anxiety of home fdlks and his many friends was relieved last week when a letter from Howard Wattles brought the glad news that he is well and looking forward to the day that he will be ordered home. Some time ago it was reported about town that Howartl has received severe injuries to his face while in action, but the facts, according to his last letter, are that he had been confined to a hos­ pital on account of skin trouble of a minor nature and this also prevented him from going to the front. His company was scheduled for active duty at the front four days before the armistice came, but they nevAr got into action. John Stilling, son of Mr. and Mrs. John Stilling of this village, who, be­ fore his entry into the service, con­ ducted a valcanizing shop here, ar­ rived in New York last Friday from overseas service. John was called to the colors early last summer ai vS his . first military ttf&bfjg at Camp Grant, being a member of the Blackhawk division. So far as we are able to learn he is the first of the Mc­ Henry boys of this division to reach* the American shores. He is now sta-; tioned at Camp Mills, from which place he will be transferred to Camp Grant to be musfcered out. He expects to be back home within the course of the next two or three weeks.

SH, The annual meeting of the McHenry county farmers' institute will *be held at Crystal Lake Wednesday, Thurs­ day and Friday, Jan. 15, 16 and 17. An attractive program has been ar­ ranged of special interest to farmers and their wives. Every topic has been selected with reference to the rural activities of McHenry county. The leader in each discussion is a special­ ist wtih p message of worth to his to-workers. At the conclusion of each address opportunity will be given for questions and reports of farm prac­ tices in this county. McHenry county is the first in the production of milk. Two addresses will be given on the fifteenth by Eon. C. C. Pervier qf Sheffield, relating to the management of live stock of the farm.

Ad- kins, state director of agriculture. His; years of experience as a farmer and a lecturer and his intimate connection with agricultural conditions in Illinois thru his .position as director, assures all of a real treat on the last day of the program. : ' • The farmers' institute of this coun­ ty was organized and is now officered by farmers.

If for the gî pnje volume and quality of business yot»r expense ought to be okte- half as great, you are only 5© per cent efficient." :: :: • A-1?",'^ A A j X -- A., ., NVESTIGATION shows that it costs the average grocer about 18 per * A*, cent of his sales to do business. Eighteen cents out of every dollar HA taken in over the counter goes to pay running expenses. If you are a grocer, it may cost you more or less, but if it costs you very much more %A \ you should seek a remedy. If it costs you very much less, the accuracy of Y ^ your figures should be investigated. ' A It costs the average dry goods man 24 per cent of sales to do business; . •the hardware dealer, 21 per cent; the furniture dealer, 27 per cent; the ^ druggist, 25 per cent, and variety stores, 18 per cent. These figures are averages and should not be regarded as exactly applicable to any particu­ lar store. But if yOur cost percentages vary from them materially, it will be well for you to look into the situation carefully. ' The figures presented here were gathered in a search for information in regard to business problems. We are passing them along for your in­ formation, as we believe they will be of interest to any man who makes an intelligent study of his business.
