Weart, who was gne of the early residents of the parish and a former senior warden of the church, has written that he and Mrs. Weart, now residents of Oconomowoc, Wis., are looking forward to their visit to the old home town and parish with anticipated pleasures. Former Rector Coming Rev. H. R. Neely, now of Chicago, who was one of the very early recâ€" tors of the church, will be here. Arrangements for the celebration also include plans to have many other notable (clergymen here, including Bishop C. P. Anderson, of the Chicago diocese of the Episcopal church, and Suffragan Bishop S. M. Griswold, alâ€" so of the Ghicago diocese. The anniversary service is schedâ€" uled for Sunday morning, October 3, at 11 o‘clock and the Parish reception will be the following Tuesday evening. According to Director ofâ€"Personnel Delton T. Howard, mental alertness tests for the entering class at Northâ€" western are employed merely as a means of enabling advisers and inâ€" structors to render the best service to individual students. : "Exceptionally _ bright _ students merit special treatment," he said "and those who are dull or slow must also have consideration. _ Northwestern‘s general intelligence scores will assist greatly in placing students in courses and sections where they can work to best advantage." Charles W. MacSherry, Wilmette, who is younger than Louis Werner of Chicago, by two months, was a leader although Mr. Werner‘s score was on a general par with Mr. MacSherry‘s. Both had excellent high school recâ€" ords. _ Read the , WANT ADS in this Issue GLENCOE MAIL MAN © ON FISHING TRIP Henry Egan of 492 Madison aveâ€" nue, former mail carrier in Glencoe and with a long standing record as one of the champion fishermen of the village, is again up among the haunts of the finny tribe seeking new laurels in the way of big catches. He has gone for a two weeks‘ fishing and hunting trip at Moose Lake, and his friends are looking forward to his reâ€" turn for the pleasure they get qut of his stories and also being permitted to enjoy eating some of the qatch. _ Next The Family The aoh mm |\ _ _Dr. Cole surmises that Professor | Marcy of Northwestern, a natural \ scientist of the era, who died many years ago, got possession of the souâ€" |\ venir and placed it in the museum; I that, possibly later, the box, considerâ€" | ed of little impéortance in a zoological ‘ museum, was p}nced in a dark corner where it was overlooked.

Consistâ€" ing of a sm@ll, unpainted wood cabiâ€" net, containing twenty pigeonâ€"holes, it was not a difficult thing for this survivor of early postoffice days of Evanston and Ridgeville to be lost for many decades. | * "Evanston‘s, first â€" postoffice, then known as Ridgeville." NIGHT SCHOOL AT GLENCOE BEGINNING The Glencoeâ€"night school for forâ€" eigners, which is under the auspices of the civics committee of the Womâ€" an‘s Library club and the Glencoe board of educafion,‘will openâ€" Friday evening, October 8, at 7:310 o‘clock in the Central school.

If a dog cannot be safely captured by a policeman the officer is authorized to shoot the animal. Another proviâ€" sion of the ordinance is that any veterinary or other person discoverâ€" ing a dog with the rabies must report the fact to the village health departâ€" ment. ( Police Luve had a great deal of trouble in the past with dogs that congregated at schools and other pubâ€" lic places, and Pmder the old ordinance they could do; very little about the matter, but they will now be able to control this situation, it is said. es for|| Foreigners | Start October| 8 In antral 14 Higblands Park Pres o 0 chool Nes‘r for HIGHLAND HAS NEW PLAN OF SELECTING JURORS JUDGE PERSONS SUGGESTS Class of Men to Be Called to County Judge Perry L. Persons is to return to an old system of selectâ€" ing veniremen for jury service in the county court in order to save money for the county and aid the supervisors in the retrenchment program ‘underâ€" taken a year ago. The county court jurist made this announcement reâ€" cently in an address before the board of supervisors following a dinner at the poor farm in Libertyville. Cirâ€" cuit Judge Claire C. Edwards® also addressed the board and suggested ‘a way to reduce jury expenses in his court. Judge Persons said that he will exâ€" periment. in the October term with a system ofthawing the sheriff select 24 men for jury service, the first 12 men to be the regular panel and the next 12 as a special panel. This system was used some years ago, but the plan of late years has been to draw 36 names for each term from a box of names submitted by the various supervisors throughout the county. Wants Representative Men The men selected by the sheriff will ‘serve throughout the entire October term and if the plan works in a satâ€" isfactory manner will be followed out permanently. Judge Persons said he would instruct the sheriff to select a representative body of men and take precautions to get men who will be able to serve, so that none will have to be excused because of their inabilâ€" ity to perform jury iservice for one reason or another. § Judge Persons said that not only will money be saved, but he feels that the juries will be better. «He said that often times men now serving on juries are not in the right frame of mind to hear cases because their minds are on other work which perâ€" haps need their attention. By the new system the sheriff will select men who will be able and willing to devote time to jury matters. * May Be Exceptions Judge Persons said he realized that there might be bad features to this new system, such as ‘politics entering into the selection of veniremen. He said, however, that he had confidence in Sheriff Edwin Ahlstrom to select the right type of veniremen.

Three amttorneys from . Rockford, Frank E. Maynard, Col. Arthur E. Fisher, and James B. Crosby, are anâ€" nounced as candidates for the vacancy in the Seventeenth judicial district, created by the death of Judge Earl D. Reynolds. Lake county is in this disâ€" trict. Crosby would be an independent. Maynard announced his intentions Monday while Fisher did some time back. Waukegan, henceforth, according to decisions of director of athletics at Great Lakes and Fort Sheridan is to be the scene of the annual football struggle between teams of those two stations, it was announced last week. For the third time this season the government south nier at the Waukeâ€" gan harbor was badly smashed up last week, when the 8,000 ton coal boat, "MacBeth," nearly drove its way through the pier as it was attempting to make the turn toward the entrance of the harbor on its way out. | Judge Edwards made the. suggesâ€" tion that the supervisors use more care in making up lists of men for jury service and not include men who can be disqualified. Each supervisor annually submits a list to the county clerk of 10 per cent of the voters in his township and these names gre put into a box and drawn at each term of court.
