He engaged in farming through the years. "Happy" was a veteran of World War I and according to an old Plaindealer of 1919 he returned "battle scarred but with more pep than many who never saw the real thing." He returned to McHenry one of the FIRST and REAL heroes of what was until Dfc. 7. 1941, the world's greatest and most devastating war. He had enlisted on June 29, 1917, in North Dakota.

The baby, who was born at the Woodstock hospital, has a little sister to welcome him in addition to his parents. Mrs. Hettermann was the former Lillian Miller.

The total Wednesday afternoon had reached $128,000. 1 ; The territory, which includes all of McHenry township and a strip across the north side of Nunda township, will be canvassed by workers selected to do the job. There are fourteen separate districts within this territory, each captained by a resident of the district. They are, now endeavoring to reach each and everyone who desires to buy a bend and help to put over the drive. The treasury department of the United States is asking every person to subscribe for at least an extra $100 bond if possible over and above any they may have purchased or agreed to buy. However, if this is impossible or would create too great a hardship, set your own figure and at least take a $25 or $50 bond of the "E" series. bo NOT WAIT--BUY TODAY Do not wait to be solicited for this loan of your money to your country in this time of its urgent need. We are in war all the way. The folks back home must see to it that the men and women who are at the front do not want for anything to carry on the fight. It costs an awful lot of money to finance a world war. Nobody needs to be reminded of that fact--everybody knows it. Therefore, you are asked to buy bonds to the limit. Do this voluntarily now. Time can be saved for you and the workers if you will kindly go to your bank or either postoffice and'say. ata ready to buy that bond today." ^ THEY ARE GIVING--YOU ONLY LOAN * Keep in mind this one thought--you are not'giving when you buy a bond, you are only loaning thit money to your own government. It's the man in the battle that is doing the giving--even to his life if necessary. Your l>ond may "help to bring him safely through the fight and home again to live a normal and peace-time life. Don't you think he is entitled to that much from you? Just for the sake of argument, let's reverse the positions of you and that man at the front. If you were he and he were you, what would you expect him to do in this bond campaign? We'll let you answer this question yourself and if you have not already done .your utmost, we ieel you will do so now. Remember, this drive will be over at the end of September. Cforfcuota must be reached by that time. Your purchase will help . us "over the top." Watch the thermometer each day and "BACK THE ATTAC K WITH WAR BONDS."
