The subscription contest, conducted by the Richmond Gazette during the past few weeks, closed a week ago last Saturday night, at which time it was found that Mrs. Etta Reed of that village was the winner of the initial prize, a Grant Six touring car. Miss Mable Buchert won second prize, a summer vacation trip to Colorado. The Oliver typewriter factory at Woodstock has caused to have constructed on its premises an immense black circle containing a yellow cross formed by electric lights, the emblem of the 33rd division. An American flag, which floats to the breeze in the rays of an enormous search light, also is a pretty sight in our county seat city these evenings. Newspapers generally have been giving the people news of the European food administration that the "World would have to go on a war ration for one year." This has caused a general impression that there would be a shortage of flour and that substitutes would again be forced upon the people. It has also caused an impression that flour would "go up" in price. These rumors are unfounded because of the fact that the United States is not included in the "World War Ration" scheme. There is a great and sufficient supply of flour in this country and there is very little if any danger of any noticeable increase in the price. People should be cautious about buying flour in any groat quantity at this time, as flour is a commodity that easily spoils tut less kept in a cool, dry, well ventilat- . ed place in air tight tin cans. There is no need for alarm. The state director of health has issued a special bulletin calling public attention to a warning issued by the United States public health service regarding the continued occurrence of cases of anthrax due to infected shaving brushes. From evidence in hand it appears that there are still in trade channels shaving brushes made from material contaminated . with anthrax, a situation which leads public health authorities to urgent ly recommend the thoro sterilization of all new brushes before using. For the sterilization of brushes the fol lowing procedure is recommended: Soak the shaving brush for four hours in a ten per cent solution of formalin (formalin is a forty per cent solution of formaldehyde and can be secured in any drug store). The solution of formalin should be kept at a temperature of 110 degrees Fahrenheit and the brush so manipulated as to bring the solution into contact with all hair or bristles. Any brushes found in the market which do not bear the name or trade mark of the manufacturer should be regarded with suspicion and these especially should not be used until sterilized. feed at M. M.

Among those to arrive home during the past week are Louis Stoffel, James Doherty, Henry Freund, Edward Rdssman, Harry Alexander, E&V1 Whiting and John Zens. Of the above Louis Stoffel, James Doherty, Edward Rossman and Henry Freund served with the 33rd or Prairie division. In order to give our readers a slight idea what these boys have been thru we will give quotations from the history issued by this particular division headquarters while the army was in Luxembourg. They follow: "First American division to hold portion of front line on Verdun sector. Only American division having men decorated by King of Engfand in person. Only American division which fought with British, French and American armies. Captured 3,924 German prisoners. Engaged at Hamel, St. Mihiel, Chippily Ridge, Grossaire Wood, Meuse- Argonne, Bois de Forges, Bois de' Chaume, Bois de Dannevoux, Bois de la Cote Lemont, Bois Du Plat Chene, Consenvoye, Bois d'Harville, St. Hilaire, Chateau D'Aulnois, Riaville Marcheville, Mont. Sec. Very, Gesnes to Pouilly and Stenay, army of occupation. Two hundred and eighteen medals were awarded, as follows. American, 118; British, 62; French, 47; Belgium, 1. The casualties were as follows: •Killed 227; wounded, 8,098; captured, 18; missing, 4." John May has arrived on this side of the briny deep and should be back home within the next few days, while other McHenry boys are reported to e at sea on their way home. The young men who served in Siberia, according to the metropolitan papers, have also left that far-away coifntry and should be back before long. McHenry welcomes each and every one of the young men who served during the war and we are sure that everyone is more than elated to have them returned to us.. Another young man, who returned to McHenry recently is Wm. Campbell, who, altho leaving with the 86th division, was transferred immediately upon his arrival in France and placed into active service. He wa? a machine gunner and saw some of the worst fighting of the war. He .informs us that he had several very narrow escapes while at the fighting front, at one time having his pack shot off his back. However, he was fortunate enough to return home none the worse from the experiences encountered "over there," SERVICE HEN ARE BONORED THOUSANDS ATTEND HOMECOMING AT COUNTY SEAT St VOLO PICNIC SUNDAY Peter's Parishioners Expect Entertain Big CroWj to Final arrangements are being completed this week for the holding of a big picnic at Volo next Sunday. The event, which is given under the auspices and for the benefit of St. Peter's parish of that place, gives promise of terminating into one of the biggest of the kind ever held there. At least, this is the opinion of those who are working on the various committees. A big chicken dinner, which never fails to draw, will talce place at noon, while supper will also be served. All of the old attractions as well as many new ones will serve to keep the crowd in a happy frame of mind during the entire afternoon and evening. The event will be hgld on the church grounds, where a big dance platform will be erected for the enjoyment of those who like this form of recreation. For the older folks other forms of entertainment and amusement will be provided, Volo extends a hearty welcome to the people of the surrounding towns on this day and in turn promises to accord them most royal treatment Fine music has been engaged for the occasion and no admission will be charged tov the grounds.

Parade of McHenry County Service • Men at Woodstock •« -Tladay a Fine Spectacle McHenry county witnessed her biggest event in the history of the county at Woodstock on Tuesday of this weeks, when thousands of her citizens as, well as visitors from nearby cities gathered to greet and pay homage to the men, both living and dead, who had served their country during the last war The day was a perfect one for just such an occasion and in respect to the young men who had fought so gallantly every town in the entire county declared the day a holiday and most everyone went to Woodstock to witness the parade and enjoy the day with our soldier braves. Woodstock was never before decorated as she was on this occasion and this, together with seven hundred or more men who paraded the down town streets in the morning, formed a spectacle never to be forgotten by those who witnessed same. Harry Yagle, a Dundee boy, who left with Woodstock's own company as a private and returned bearing the rank of a major, was one of the main figures in the parade. This young man also bears the distinction of having been decorated by King George of England for bravery under fire. Capt. Owen Conv waS in charge of Company G. The enormous crowd crowded every street along the line of march, while the business section of th£ city was entirely free of vehicles, which afforded ample room for the crowd which gathered for the festivities during the afternoon and evening. The memorial services held in the park during the afternoon were the most impressive imaginable. Taps were sounded by a corps of buglars. after which prayer was offered by Rev. Kaufman. Eloquent addresses were made by Rev. Conway and Rev. Kilburne, the latter having returned only recently from overseas service as a Y. M. C. A. secretary. During the late afternoon and in the evening dancing was enjoyed on the pavement surrounding the public square, while the Woodstock hand furnished splendid music. The men, in uniform were dined at the various churches of the city and the feast was one of the most elaborate ever set before man. This as well as smokes and everything that went to please the boys were served them free of cost and thus the people of McHenry county entertained her returned soldiers in a manner that was most proper and fitting. The village of McHenry, in common with every other town of the county, was deserted for most of the day, everyone who could possibly get away going to the county seat to greet the boys and show them the respect that is properly due them. Masons to Chicago Accepting an invitation extended to them by Kenwood lodge of Chicago, twenty-seven members of the Masonic lodge of this village went to Chicago on Monday evening, where they were the guests of their city brothers. The invitation, was issued in honor of Everett Hunters Sr., of this village, past master of the Chicago organization. - At 6:30 an elaborate banquet was served in. the building occupied by the lodge, after which work was put on by the' visitors. At the close of the work the McHenry Masons were showered with congratulations for the manner in which they had put on the work, the Chicagoans being firm in their declaration that it had surpassed their very fondest expectations. After a few social hours the McHenry delegation was driven to the depot, where they boarded the theatre train for Crystal Lake and thence home by automobile. Those who made the trip are loud in their praise for the royal manner in which they had, been received and entertained by the Chicago lodge Leaves For Finland Chris F. Norager, proprietor of the Orchard Beach summer resort on Fox river, leaves New York today (Thursday) on board the United States for Helsingfors, Finland, and expects to be gone from six to eight weeks. Mr. Norager, during the past few years, has 'acted as a special agent for W. O. Lucas 6 Co., exporters and importers, of Chicago, and the trip at this time is purely a business one and is made for the company by which he is employed. The sailing on the United States sets forth quite a coincidence, as this same boat carried his son to Russia a few year ago. MRS. EMMA MARTIN DEAD Panned Away at The Heme if Her Daughter Here Mrs. Emnta Martin passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. John P. Weber, in this village last Sunday evening after an illness covering a period of two years or more. During these months of sickness she suffered greatly and during the last few weeks especially her agony was the greatest. Her ailment was of the nature for which medical skill and science has found no cure and, while everything was done for her that loving hands could bestow, there was no end to her suffering until death came as a Sweet relief. Emma Nell was born On a farm near Volo on July 25, 1860, where her parents resided at the time. Later on the family moved to Johnsburg, where the deceased grew to womanhood. At the age of eighteen she wentMo Chicago, where she worked for two years previous to her marriage. In 1880 she w»s united in marriage to the late Nicholas Martin, the ceremony having been performed at St. Peter's church in Chicago. She continued to make that city her home until the spring of 1910, at which time her husband, after serving on the Chicago police force for a quarter of a century or more, came to McHenry to pass his remaining days. The family first resided in ^he Peter B. Freund place on Green street and later moved to Water street, where they purchased a home. Soon after the death of Mr. Martin, his wife and family returned to Chicago, but again returned, and since then the deceased has made her home with her daughter, where ^she died. She was the mother of six %hiL dren, two of whom passed away in their tender years, while Robert lost his life, on the battle fields of France during the late war. Those surviving are: John of Chicago; Mrs. John P. Weber and Raymond, who returned only recently from overseas service. She also leaves two sisters, Mrs. Mathias Heimer of this village; Mrs. Robert Hammond of Chicago, and also two half brothers, John Slimpin of Clarion, la., and Peter Slimpin of Quincy, 111. " ' Mrs. Martin was always looked upon as one of o\ir most highly respected citizens. Possessed of a kind and loving disposition and a woman of pleasing personality, she had many friends in this community as well as Chicago, where she had passed the greater part of her life.' The funeral took place from St Patrick's Catholic church at ten o'clock on Wednesday morning of this week and was largely attended. The ^remains were tenderly borne to their last resting place in St. Mary's cemetery. 1 The bereaved family has the sympathy of the people of McHenry. HOME TALENT PRODUCTION DO WE WANT FACTORY? OPPORTUNITY TO SECURE REALLY GOOD INDUSTRY M. E. Church The services at the M. E. church next Sunday will be as follows: Sunday school at 10:00 a. m. and preaching services at 11:00 a. m.

Brings Out a Large Crowd at .the Central Opera House The Central opera house here was again packed on Monday evening of this week, at which time the play "Forgiven" was presented by home talent for the benefit of Riverview tamp., R. N. A. The play was well staged and un der the direction of Harry Choate the cast was very good. There was plenty of action in each act and the admirable manner in which the play was produced evidenced natural ability, faithful preparation and effective rehearsing. Miss Jennie Mae Cooley, who was to have assumed th6 leading role, was unable to do so on account of illness, the part being played by Mrs. Choate, wife of the director, who has spent much of her life in this line of work and who carried the part true to her profession. - The local players, thru their ex ceptional pleasing execution of their parts, brought forth many remarks of commendation from those who witnessed "Forgiven" on Monday night. The specialties between acts were up to standard and, all in all, the evening's entertainment was very satisfactory. It had boen advertised that the play would be repeated on Tuesday night, but owing to the home-coming at Woodstock it was thought best to postpone same and the second per formance will be given at the Central on Friday evening of this week, June 13. Tonight (Thursday) the players will appear at the school' auditorium at Wauconda. St. Mary's Commencement Commencement exercises of St. Mary's parochial school will be held at the Central opera house on Monday evening, June 23. A matinee for children will be given at the opera house on Sunday afternoon, June 22, at 2:00 o'clock, at which time the price of admission for children will be 15c. Children desiring to attend the exercises on Monday evening will be charged the regular admission price. A complete program of the exercises will be published in next week's issue of The Plaindealer. SHOULD WE CELEBRATE? This Qaeatkm Is to Be Decided at , , Meeting Tonight Now Located at Cleveland, Om and Doing Big Busineno Would Triple Population of Our Village Does McHenry really want a factory? One that is nicely established and now doing a splendid business? This is the a question put to the people of this community on Monday of this week, when Messrs. Miller and Allen, representing the Champion Register company of Cleveland, O., called here. It seems that some time ago some one in this village put the question to a representative of this concern whether or not they would be willing to make a change. Messrs. Miller and Allen, who, were in town Monday, were here on business matters pertaining to the selling of their systems and incidentally took the time and trouble to investigate, whether or not McHenry really wanted a factory and if so what we had to offer. While the concern in question never dreamed of leaving its present location, the two visitors told a Plaindealer reporter Monday that the officers of the company would consider a moving proposition if satisfactory inducements were made them. Questioned as to what sort of. an inducement would lie expected by their company Mr. Miller told us that nothing less than $300,000 worth of stock could possibly, change their present location. The company is now manufacturing what is termed by them as the Champion Complete Accountant," which i£ manufactured in various models and sizes. The outfit is completely fireproof and, from remarks dropped by our informants, their company is fast overtaking the originators of accounting systems, the McCaskey's. The proposition is a' big- one and unless every resident in the village as well as the township can be interested McHenry will not be able to land the factory, which gives prom ises of tripling the population of this village within a very short space of time. It's a big and growing concern and should they decide to locate here it will mean even a larger factory than is now being conducted in the Ohio city, for the reason that the company will add a pad manufacturing department. At this time the company does not make the pads for the systems, but with the addition of the new department employment will be given to a great many more people than are employed at this time. The proposition will be brought up for discussion at the meeting to be held at the village hall tonight and everyone interested should make it a point to.be present. Harry Alexander Returns Harry Alexander of Hebron, who a short time ago returned from overseas service, arrived in this village from Camp Graiiit last Saturday evening, having received his honorable discharge from army service on that day. His arrival here came as a pleasant surprise even to his wife, who had gone down to the station that evening to meet her sister, who was expected to arrive from Chicago. One can imagine Mrs. Alexander's surprise when she saw her husband alight from the train. It was indeed a happy meeting. Mr. Alexander, who was engaged a& a rural letter carrier from the Hebron postoffice at the time he answered the call to the colors, expects to take a "month's rest before going back to his former employment. Mrs. ' Alexander, for a short time during her husband's ab sence, was employed at the post office at Genoa Junction, but during the past few weeks has been at her old home here. Farmers' Meeting June 21 The farmers have at last found out that farming is a business and that they must be in a position to meet other lines of business. There is no business which covers such a vast field and no business upon which the general public' is so dependent as that of agriculture. If the farmers are to be in a position to meet big business on the same basis that big busi ness meets them, agriculture must be organized. Go to the meeting on Saturday, June 21, at the court house in Woodstock and hear D. O. Thompson, secretary of the Illinois Agricultural association. Whether or not McHenry will hold a giant Fourth of July celebration and a home-coming for our soldiers and sailors who served during the late war is to be definitely decided at a mass meeting to be held at the village hall this (Thursday) evening at eight o'clock. v This subject was first brought up for discussion at a meeting of the business men held at the village hall last Thursday evening, at which time a temporary committee was named to see what could be done regarding the observance of our nation's birthday as well -as showing our young men, who have served in the late war, our deep appreciation for what they have done. - > Since Thursday members Of the finance committee, of which JoTin Stoffel is the chairman, have made a partial canvass of th^e village for the purpose of ascertaining, in a measure, how the business men feel toward such an undertaking. As a result of this canvass, we are informed, nearly $400 has been promised. The meeting tUs evening will not be a business men's affair, but a community affair, and the event planned is also to be known as a community undertaking and not that sponsored alone by business men. Therefore it is the desire of those who have already interested themselves to have every man of the entire community at the meeting , this evening. The time is very short between now and the Fourth and if McHenry is to undertake the proposed celebration and home-coming action must be had at once. IF YOU ARE FOR Mc- HENRY AND A TRUE FRIEND TO THE BOYS WHO FOUGHT FOR YOU, YOU WILL BE PRESENT AT THE MEETING TONIGHT. Posters calling attention to the meeting have been up for nearly a week and the excuse that you did not know of the meeting will not be accepted. You do know of the meeting and you are expected to be there. BRIDGE GOES DOWN : NichoIIs-CFMin Miss Lovina Nicholls, daughter of Harry Nicholls of this place, and Mr. Richard • Cronin, who a short time ago was released from service at the Great Lakes Naval Training station, were united in marriage in Chicago on Monday of last week. Both are well and favorably known thruout this entire vicinity, where they have always resided. Mr. and Mrs. Cronin passed a few days this and last week as the guests of relatives in this village. They will resjde at Woodstock, where Mr. Cronin is employed. Join the McHeaxy Boy Scouts. Old Steel Structure Over tl$3cmk on Woodstock Road Crumbles ITERS OF LOCAL INTEREST AS PICKED UP BY PLAINDEALER REPORTERS .DURING WEEK Just as a heavy automobile truck had passed over it, the old steel bridge over the creek on the Woodstock road crumbled last Friday forenoon. The crash came just as die rear wheels of the big truck were leaving the structure and it was due to the expert driving of the man at the wheel that the truck did not go down with the bridge. Village officials were notified at once and within a short time Mayor Olson had men on the job making repairs and by Saturday night the structure was again open to traffic. While the job of repairing is merely a temporary one, the structure has been pronounced safe for travel, altho every precaution should be exercised by those driving over same lest the jars may again weaken the bridge and let her down. Drivers of heavy trucks are especially warned to be careful in driving over the structure. 'Mayor Olson informed a Plaindealer scribe that it is the hope of the village officials that the bridge will stand the strain of travel until the new state road goes in, when a permanent structure will be erected. Volunteer Fire Department At the next regular meeting of the village board of McHenry that honorable body will be asked to sanction the organization of a^volunteer fire department here. Nearly every small village in this locality now has a fully equipped are department and are members of the state department and why McHenry has not long since fallen in line is to be deplored. A fire department will not only assure added safety to your property, but will also decrease the fire insurance rates in this village quite materially. At least one member of the McHenry board has been heard to express him self as favorable towards such an organization and we believe that when the matter is properly presented to our village board that body will be ready to not only sanction the move, but back it as well& Immekus-Noonan * A wedding that is sure to interest their many young friends both here and at Pistakee Bay took place in Chicago last Saturday, the principals being Miss Clara Immekus of that city and Mr. Allen Noonan of McHenry. The bride is the daughter of Anton Immekus, whose family has been regular resorters at Pistakee Bay for a number of years. She is a refined young woman and very popular among her many friends. The groom is the youngest son of Mrs. Mary Noonan, who resides northwest of this village. He returned home only recently from service in the U. S. army and is now a valued employe at the Star garage in this village. The happy pair are making their temporary home with the groom's moth- Congp^ufaations. What People Are Doing la This Village and the Immediate VkU|-- Other Short Paragraphs f Harry H. Fay is now assisting Chas. Unti in his retail store here on Sunday and evenings. Bert Boomer of Chicago, a firstclass meat cutter, is now employed at the Water street meat market., He, began work there recently. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Holly and family are now occupying their new home on Court street, into which they moved' the first, of the week. After a long absence, the familiar face of "Billy" Lorimer was seen on our streets last Sunday. He passed the week end at our resorts. A new ornamental fence is to be constructed around St Patrick's church property. It is expected that construction work will be started soon. „ Wm. Pries, proprietor of the Central market, is driving a handsome new Studebaker touring car, purchased thru the local agent, Geo. A. Stilling. The thistle commissioner will s&n be on the job and those knowing of the existence of this dangerous weed should see to it that same is destroyed at once. The Mystic Workers will meet with Mr. and Mrs. M. M. Niesen on Wednesday evening of next week, June 18. All members are respectfully asked to be present The Ladies' Aid society Will meet at the home of Mrs. C. L. Page on Thursday afternoon of next week, June 19. Members and friends are invited to be present. Next Saturday is dag day and old glory should float to the freezes from every business house and residence in the village. Don't forget to unfurl your flags on that day. Mrs. Katherine Adams and family vacated the flat in the Spaulding block on the West Side the latter part of last week and moved to Elgin, where they will reside in the future. Henry Geary was thrown from a mower on his farm at Mudgett's lake last week Tuesday, breaking a rib and recCTving several bruises. He is recovering nicely at present. A truck load of Algonquin fishermen passed thru this village last Saturday night enroute to Pistakee Bay, where they fished on Sunday. We have not learned what luck they had. The work of enlarging the retail ice cream parlor of C. Unti has been completed and the improvement is a noticeable one and thus gives the proprietor the much needed room so long desired. Another happy cfowd of young folks took in the social dance at Stoffel's hall last Saturday evening. With the return of many of our soldier boys, dancing seems to grow in popularity. Harvey Nye is engaged in the store of Jos. J. Miller on Water street. Mr. Nye has had more or less experience in this line and will, no doubt, make a valuable assistant for his employer. The work of laying the floors in St. Mary's church here is now well under way and the seats are expected most any time. From present indications it looks as if the new church will be opened before July 1. Miss Gertrude Sattem started work in the Louis A. Erickson store onthe West Side last week. Mr. Erickson informs us that his business is gradually growing and that he hopes to have a complete stock in all lines in a very short time. The Chicago Telephone company has announced a new rate, which became effective yesterday. Read the large display advertisement to be found elsewhere in this issue of The Plaindealer. The rates are slightly higher than the old. Very good progress is being made at McHenry's new theatre building. The carpenters will soon be thru and then will come the gang which puts on the kellastone finish. The house should be ready for the opening in the course of a month. Atty. A. H. Pouse has rented the flat in the Spaulding building on the West Side, where he will again reopen his law office in the very near future. Atty. Pouse's many friends will be pleased to know this, as his absence from this village has been keenly felt by those desiring professional services such as he is able to render. The finishing touches are being pat on the new bowling alleys invthe Martin B. Schmitt block on the West Side. The alleys are of the very latest design0 and of' the best material, which, together with the automatic pin setters, make them among the best to be found in the county. The alleys are located on the second floor of the building, which has been both remodeled and enlarged to accommodate the new acquisition to Mr. Schmitt's place \ of amusements. A new steel front, which has already been ordered, will be put into the building some timo next month.
