" i" i |f| Hi.. < n "LaWlessloW Soldier Boy Notes A number of the McHenry boys are members of the S8rd division, which is scheduled to return home shortly. Few letters have been received from our boys in Siberia during the past four months. Parents and friends of these young men are hoping that President Wilson will bring them back to civilization shortly. A telegram was received here on Tuesday morning of this week from Raymond Martin, announcing his safe arrival in New York city from overseas service. He is expected in McHenry some time this week. Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Althoff of Johnsburg received a telegram Wednesday morning from their son, Wm. who has arrived safely in New York from overseas service. He should be home within the course of the next two weeks. Recent letters from Howard Wattles fail to state when he expects to sail for home. According to a very recent message from him he evidently is worried over the fact that he may die of old age before his turn to return home may come. At the present time, he writes, he is connected with the intelligence department, and for the first time, he adds, he now knows what the word intelligence means. Ray L. Page, who is a truck driver and stationed at a camp near Brest, France, is also one of the home boys who is not looking for an early departure for home. His work consists of hauling the other fellows' belongings, who are more fortunate than he, to the. docks of embarkation at Brest. According to recSht letters received from him he will probably be one of the last Americans to leave French soil. However, his work is not very arduous and he is getting fat. Mrs. Nicholas Martin is still living in the hopes that the telegram received here some time ago, bringing the sad news that her son, Robert, died from wounds received in action, was a mistake. Since the telegram reached here reports have come to the family that same must be a mistake as Robert had been seen in a hospital in France some time after the telegram announcing his death had been received here. The news came to the family from a Chicago young man. who claims to have known Robert well and who was confined in the same hospital with him. VOLO Wm. Frost was home over Sunday. Joe Lensen was. a Sunday caller here. Miss Collins to visiting Mh and Mrs. Cox. Miss Esther Russell was a rfcent Elgin visitor. Miss Clara Rossdeutsche? staying with Mrs. Ed. Lusk. 7' Mr. and Mrs. M.

School election was, held Saturday evening, April 19. Lee Huson was elected director by a large majority. Given Promotion Word has just reached this village bringing the news that "Jack" Davis, at one time a resident of McHenry, has recently been promoted head foreman at the Burroughs adding machine factory at Detroit, Mich. Mrs. Davis was formerly Miss Iva Mead, daughter of the late Mr. and Mrs. H. C. Mead of this village. Mr. Davis has been with the Burroughs people during the past eight years and his promotion came, no doubt, in recognition of faithful and satisfactory service. McHenry friends will be pleased to learn of "Jack's"* advancement. Held Installation St. Patricia court, W. C. O. F., of this village installed their newly elected officers at their hall on Tuesday evening of this week. Mrs. Stacia Malone of Elgin acted as installing officer and carried her role in a most capable and impressive manner. At the close of the work a luncheon was served, followed by a few hours of social recreation, consisting 9t a'tausical pnigiam and cards. It-A-;li; •0^*3 lv; Afttoventery Tlwt (iiHrds Your Profits An Illinois merchant, who had never taken an inventory in the ten that he had been in business, recently decided to check up his stock in the hope of raising cash by a clean up sale. He found $2,500 more goods on his shelves than he thought he had. He thought he was carrying about $8,000 worth of stock. Instead, he found goods to the value of $10,500/1J He had kep4 no Records to enable him sto know how much he had pair* ch&sed; his totqfl sales; or his per cent of profit. If his store Had burned out before the inventory, he would have been satisfied with $8,000 insurance. and, because of his total lack of store records, probably would have had trouble getting that much. He never would have known that he was ©heating himself out of $2,500. As a matter of fact, running a retali atory without knowing the value of goods in stock is just about as poor business as checking up the cash only once a year. Cash is money and must be watched. But are the dollars in the cash drawer any more valuable than salable merchandise on the shelves merchandise for which dollars were paid? The two are equally valuable and as much care should be used in guarding the one as the other. ; ' T° keep the same tab on your goods that is kept on your cash, it is not necessary to turn your store upside down every week or so to take an act* ual, physical inventory. Many merchants have been successful in using the perpetual inventory plan--a system which enables them to know accurately the changes in their stock values during the long intervals between actual inventories. It protects their insurance interests in case oi fire; it enables them to know their profits or losses ea>ch week or each day and to locate and stop leaks that may be eating into profits.
