MESSAGE FROLF LOCAL MAN IN THE U. S SERVICE Since none of the letten from our local enlisted men have reached us as yet we have taken excerpts from letten from Private Melvin Walsh which were recently received by his folks here in McHenry. Don't forget fellows, we're waiting to hear from you and to see any pictures you may have of yourselves and your surroundings. And here are the snatches from Pvt. Walsh's letten: "The government owned theetres have fairly good shows, although it's a little late when the best pictures get here. The sound is very good, but it does not compare with the Empire (now the 'Colony.') theatre. That's no kidding, our McHenry theatre has the best sound of any theatre I've nver been in. They change programs every day except Monday. The price of admission is twenty cents. The biggest drawback is the waiting line, usually it is about a block long, four deep. Theft'f the main reason fRat 1 don't go oftener. "We had a swell time on our trip. We left the fort at noon, Friday. Mid got to-camp at about 5:15, pitched our tents and arranged for a boat trip in the morning. When I reported to Capt. Todd about arrangements for the trip, he began talking about the Lotus Beds. He said he had been in Chicago and had tried to get to see them, but he arrived too late in the season. He was very interested in them so I'd like to have some pictures of the fiOwers for him. "In the morning after chow we loaded on two boats--about forty of us--and all headed south. We rowed for a couple hours and stopped at Little River, S. C., for about four hours. It's not much of a town, but there was a nice little tavern that the boys took quite a fancy to. I drank a few bottles of orange pop. The trees there are covered with hanging moss and it is really a beautiful spot "We went down the Inland Waterway; it runs from northern Maine to the tip of Florida, some of it natural and some dredged. We were supposed to go back on the ocean, but it was a little rough so we didn't take the trip. When we got back to camp we ate and after about an hour a .group of us went swimming in the Atlantic. I'd rather swim in fresh water. "We got back to Fort Bragg about 4 p. m. Sunday and discovered that moot of us had either been bitten by insects or were poisoned by either ivy or oak. I don't know which it is, but I know I've a few very itchy spots. The doctor gave me some lo* tion this morning and by this time to* •sorrow it will be all heeled. I hope! At that it's small pay for such a idee weekend." ' Private Melvin J. Walsh, Battery A. -- 13th Bn., FARC, 4th FA Training Regiment, p Fort Bragg, North Carolina. OOMIHO EVBHT* ST.

In April the county's percentage dropped to 4.8, but several other counties were lower. However, the state as a whole had a 11.2 per cent which shows that McHenry county is far below the state average. A total of 884,095 people were on relief in the state during April. This constituted a record of one in every nine. In McHenry county only one in every twenty-one received assistance. General relief cost the various townships in the county $5,676.67 for the months with the state contribution being $1 000. There were 221 home cases on relief during April. Out of the 1,794 receiving assistance 843 were on general, 435 WPA, 450 old age, 122 on mothers' pensions and forty-five blind pensions.
