1 HE JLAKE dHORE IN EWS Nearly Everybody In Wilmette Reads The LaCe Shore New* VOL. VII, NO. 50. ©•* WILMETTE, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1920 TEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS EXPERT PORTRAYS THF MUGEBEAiniFU Jens Jemen, Noted Landscape Archi- tect, Shows Woman's Club Audi- ence How To Beautify the Village APPLY FOR APPLE TREES Prepare Plana For Observance of Tree Planting: Day, November 6; Call Plan Commission Thos who were fortunate enough to hear the lecture last Wednesday f afternoon at the Wilmette Woman's , club, by the celebrated landscape â- : architect, Jens Jensen, went away with a firm determination to take advantage of the Wilmette Plan vW Commission's arrangements for 0if\: Planting Day. Mr. Jensen's enthus- f% iasm was contagious, and his audi- *| ence was overwhelmed with the sim- ;j^ plycity of the manner in which Wil- mette may be made "The Village Beautiful". For many years Mr. Jensen, who lives in Ravinia and who has had much to do with the planting of the many beautiful estates along the north shore, has mad a study of the trees and shrubs indigenous to this (locality. He stated that nowhere in this country did the wild crab and hawthorne thrive as it did in the strip of land lying between the Sko- kie vallek and lake Michigan. The elm also here finds its natural habitat. The oak, which is our most numer- ous tree, does not long survive the encroachment of civilization. Elms should be planted in our parkways so as to attain suitable size before the forest trees disappear. For Beautiful Trees Many towns in New England are - noqed for their beautiful elms, and in southern cities the live oak and , the magnolias excite the travelers' interest. Why should not Wilmette build a reputation for its wonderful hawthorne and wild crab trees? Old settlers tell us that these trees were once numerous throughout the vil- lage, but have been cut out as the town became built up, until few re- main. Many of these charming trees can still be seen in the Skokie valley and the ravines to the north, but they are not successfully trans- planted from the woods. The following committee, as be- fore announced in these columns, has been appointed by the Wilmette Plan commission to bring these matters to the attention of the property owners. Herbert C. Arms, Mrs. Louis W. Crush, Mrs. John Clark Baker, Mrs. W. W. Kerr, Hoyt King, and Charles S. McCoy. Planting Day November 6 This committee set Saturday, November 6, as "Planting Day" and has arranged with a nursery which makes a specialty of wild crab and hawthorne, to furnish trees at the following wholesale prices: Hawthorne, 4 to 5 feet.........$1.00 Wild Crab, 3 to 4 feet ...........1.50 Elm, 2 inches in diameter ......5.00 Many order blanks which were distributed- at the lecture were filled out on the spot. These blanks will soon be distributed through the vil- lage by the school children. Only by hearty co-operation can the commit- tee's plans be realized. A blank is not necessary, however, and orders may be sent to any of the commit- tee or addressed to the Wilmette Plan Commission at the village hall. MRS. JARLEY IS COMING TO TOWN ON NOVEMBER 5 Guess who is coming? Right after election the famous Mrs. Jarley will visit Wilmette with her celebrated collection of wax works. If your favorite candidate, for whom you have battled so con- scienciously and persistently, falls in defeat, this entertainment will afford a soothing balm for your wounded spirits. If your side emerges victorious the evening's pleasure will be a fitting celebration of a great victory.. POLITICAL MEETING A non-partisan political meeting is scheduled to be held at the Byron Stolp school, Tenth street and Cen- tral avenue Friday afternoon, Oct- ober 29, at 3 o'clock. Speakers are Mrs. Fletcher Dobyns, Mrs. Samuel Slade, and Senator James Hamilton Lewis, Democratic candidate for Governor of Illinos. There will be good music as an added feature. Thurston Harpists at Sunday Evening Club Noted Harp Orchestra To Give First of Season's Sacred Musical Ser- vices Sunday October 24 On Sunday evening, October 24, the Wilmette Sunday Evening club will present the first of its sacred musical services of this season. Plans have been made for several Clara Louise Thurston important all-musical programs dur- ing the year, and among those to be heard are the A Cappella Choir of Northwestern University, the Fisk Jubilee Singers, and the Thurston Harp Orchestra. In addition to these there will be numerous other music- al attractions during the season in- cidental to the programs when speakers will fill the greater part of the Sunday evening services. Among these will be the 70-voice Glee club of the Chicago Association of Com- merce, Miss Margery Maxwell, soprano of the Chicago Grand Opera company; Miss Mary Welch, con- tralto; Mis>s Cladys Swarthout, sop- rano; Miss Anna Slack, 'cellist; Jo- seph Ley, baritone, and others.

Miss Thurston on several previous occasions has arranged sacred musical evenings for the club. These programs have always been welcomed by large and enthusiastic audiences. Mrs. Marie Edwards von Ritter will assist with the organ, and it is probable that there will be a well known singer. ST. AUGUSTINE'S CHURCH LAUNCHES BIG CAMPAIGN The nation-wide campaign, whose object is to inform the members of the Episcopal church throughout the nation of the extent of the church's activities throughout the world, was carried on with great success in St. Augustine's during the autumn and early winter of 1919. From now on until Christmas ad- ditional efforts will be made by the wide distribution of literature, and by other publicity methods, to en- list every member of the church in its active work and in extending its resources and deepening and devel- oping its spiritual life. M. E. PENSION CLAIMS WILL BE PAID IN FULL Retired Methodist preachers of the Illinois conference will hereafter re- ceive their wull pensions in four quarterly payments each year, ac- cording to plans made at Springfield this week at the annual meeting of the board of conference claimants. Heretofore they have received only 60 per cent. Each Methodist congre- gation will raise a sum each year equal to 10 per cent of their preach- er's salary, to go entirely toward meeting pension claims. Turn to page 6 for News of Churches AUTHORITY ON KOREA TO ADDRESS PRESBYTERIANS Dr. Charles Allen Clarke To Discuss Japan-Korean Question Here on Sunday Morning One of the vexing and apparently inaccessible problems to the citizens of the United States is the Japan- Korean question. Many of our readers will be glad to learn that they are to be given an opportunity to re- ceive "first hand", absolutely reliable information concerning conditions in Korea. Dr. Charles Allen Clarke, who for the past eighteen years has been a resident of Korea, will tell of conditions in that country next Sun- day morning at 11 o'clock, in the Wilmette Presbyterian church. It is interesting to know that this noted visitor went out to Korea from the church where Dr. Magill was for- merly pastor, the Olivet Presbyterian church of Minneapolis, Minn. Dr. Clarke has made a special study of the language and conditions in Korea; has translated and published many volumes for the Koreans, and is therefore, peculiarly fitted to tell of present day conditions in that coun- try. There will be a special number by a mixed quartet, entitled, "My De- fense is of God"â€"Huhn. Mr. George Stump, tenor, will also render a solo, "In My Father's Houseâ€"McDermott. MILAN LUSK TO APPEAR IN RECITAL NOVEMBER 18 Well-known Violinist Will Give Re- cital At Lyon and Healy Concert Hall, Chicago Milan Lusk, the well-known violin- ist, is at present filling numerous club engagements in and about the city. Last week his appearance in Belvidere, 111., evoked much enthus- iasm. The Belvidere Daily Repub- lican under a heading, "Lusk, violin virtuoso, pleases in brilliant recital", writes: "He has a modest and pleas- ing personality and his playing showed great artistic ability. Among the selections rendered, was one of Mr. Lusk's own compositions, "Long- ing". This was a beautiful number, showing much depth of feeling and was exquisitely played." Prior to the violinist's departure to the east for concert work, he will appear in a Chicago recital on Thursday evening, November 18, at the Lyon and Healy concert hall. He will be assisted by Miss Eloise Bed- Ian, pianist. LACK QUORUM The regular meeting of the Wil- mette Village Board was postponed Tuesday evening of this week be- cause of the lack of a quorum.
