Winnetka is to be rep- resented by American dances, in which about twenty young people will take part Evanston residents who have never enjoyed the sight of tobacco plants in full growth are not forced to travel to the sunny fields in Tennessee or Florida, where the weed is culti- vated. Large, healthy plant* are now thriving on a lawn In the business sec- tion of their own city. Robert Koen, the tobacconist at 1624 Orrington ave- nue, is making the experiment and is cultivating seven good-sized plants in front of his place of business. Few pedestrians in Orrington ave- nue are acquainted with the fact that the growing plants are tobacco. They are mistaken for oanna aad other flowers. The plants are genuine Havana to- bacco and probably will be mature enough to cure by the last of this month. Mr. Koen has taken consid- erable care in growing the plants and, while he states that the product will not contain the quality of the tobacco grown in Cuba, on account of climatic conditions here, he expects to offer his patrons, who are satisfied with a different kind of "smoke," some- thing novel In the way of home-grown goods. j |t t ON WESTERN TRIP, "-Sir!. Daniel McArthur, wife of Post toaster McArthur of Glnncoe, end daughter, Miss Jean, departed Tues- afternoon for the northwest, afwnors they win pass a month or six weeks in the far west and northern Hookies. They will epend some time In Calgary, Bdmonton and many other -Canadian eHIes and towns. ...___â- _ fWfhe Summer Not First Experiment: This Is not the first experiment made by the Evanston tobacconist in growing plants here. At hi* home at 2145 Maple avenue, last year, he /rslse4 several plant* of different varieties, many of which grew to twice the site of the plants now ma- turing In front of his store. Unlike the tobacco plants which grow in the warmer climate, the Havana species do not grow to such an extent here. The present plants are about twelve or fifteen inches In height. The leaves are about three or four inches in width. Mr. Koen has made a careful study of tobacoo and its growth. He asserts that climatic conditions have every- thing to do with the successful grow- ing of the plants. The leaves bore grow much thicker and do not con* tain the rich aroma when consumed in smoke. "Cuba probably is the best place in toe world for the cultivation of tobacco," said Mr. Koen, In talk* ing of the tobacco industry* "Bven in Key West and Florida, the sane grade of tobacco cannot be produced as in Cuba. The climate there te ideal and the tobacco leaf grows thin and with a flavor that osssiot be w» celled. One feature in tobacco grwwlng *», the nipping of the Mossons. Just now the buds on the plants la frost of the Koen store are almost ready to open. When they do open Mr. Koen will clip them. This sends th» strength of the plant to the leaves, j which broaden and become more ma- ture. What Psople Are Doing . Miss Laura Rosslter is visiting In East Mt Pleasant O. Mr. and Mrs. Charles S.

PROUTY FINES AUT0_ SPEEDER SWIFT $10 CLEAR $60QATCARDE PARTY FOR CHARITY Police Magistrate Carlton Prouty assessed flO fines against two speed- ers In his court in Winnetka, Monday.

Among the brilliant entertainments along the north shore last week was a garden concert and dance for the benefit of Arden Shore, at the home of Mr. and Mrs. George A. Thorne In Winnetka Friday evening. More than $600 was cleared in the function for charitable purposes. The (picturesque villa was trans- formed into a fairy palace and the extensive gardens and grounds were a glowing kaleidoscope of electric lights and gay Japanese lanterns. A huge canvas stretched over the tennis court served as a passable dancing floor, which was occupied every mo- ment by tireless tango dancers. Dainty refreshments allayed the some- what oppressive heat Mrs. John Sidney Burnet is chairman of the Winnetka committee for Arden Shore and Mr. Thorne is vice-chairman. Miss Lucy Bates proved a sensation with a series of interpretative dances which she executed on the lawn. Mrs. John Sidney Burnet sang with Hoe. Johanna Hess-Burr at the piano. A large part of the success of Arden Shore is due to the board of managers. The members of this body are: Mrs. Frank R. McMuIlin, Mrs. James E. Keith, Mrs. McGregor Adams, Mrs. August Magnus, Mrs. Mabel Dick, Mrs. Cornelia Lynde, Miss Ruth Gregory, Mrs., A. A. Carpenter, Mrs. William G. Hibbard, Miss Edith Boynton, Mrs. Robert Gregory, Mrs. Charles Thorne, Mrs. Phillip S. Post and Mrs. John W. Scott. The Winnetka committee Is com- posed of the following: Mrs. Charles T. Murdock, Mrs. Tyrrel Cheney, Mrs. Frederick H. Scott, Mrs. A. W. Shaw, Mrs. John N. Ott, Mrs. Edward L. Grlswold, Mrs. John T. Boddie, IW RANCH ROMi Growing tired of "just hanging around home," Miss Ann Bhrat e* Rogers Park, several years ago went to Colorado, where she staked out a claim and established a ranch. About the same time John Foreman White and two other Evanston boys who were graduated from the Evanston High school in 1908 made the same decision. Out in the west Mr. White and Miss Bhrat met at a dance and a romance started, which resulted in the announcement of their engage- ment Sunday. Miss Ehrat is an fn- tructress of swimming "lust for the fun of the thing" at a branch of the T. W. C. A. in St. Louis. She plans to come east soon and expects to be married about Aug. 15 at her father's residence, 1920 Morse avenue, Rogers Park. Mrs. White, mother of "Jack," is traveling in Europe with her daugh- ter.^________________ Felt Hats Hah shapes oartb Floar STATE ST. \Ef. L. GONSALVES Phem* Winutka 433 | Ship: »0» UmUn An.

Both pleaded guilty to driv- ing at a rate exceeding twenty miles an hour. Swift apparently did not care for the fine and costs but was perturbed about the delay occasioned by making him retrace his route to have justice administered. Because of his legal training, Police Magistrate Prouty is recognised as one of the most able justices of the north shore. He is fast establishing a rec- ord for fairness and impartiality in all the hearings he conducts. It might also he added that he has the best equipped court room for a village the site of Winnetka in this part of Illi- nois. ' Clark, Mrs. Robert Stevenson, Jr., and Mrs. Edwin Fechhelmer. RECOVER8 BICYCLE. A bicycle, which was reported stolen by Burton Lloyd, 1006 Eknwood ave- nue, late yesterday afternoon, was re- covered by Sergt Arthur Johnston this morning at the Y. M. C.

When -within a block of the city limits Chief Shaffer overtook the speeder. He was taken to the police Station, where he gave the name of B. Blaln and his address as xOl Brie street, Chicago. A few minutes later be was arraigned before Police Magis- trate Boyer, where he admitted ha was driving at a forty-mile rate. He we fined $40 and costs.
