He may be an example but he never set one. A large delegation of Fox Lake hotel owners, under the leadership lof Edward White, visited the board Wednesday afternoon to plead for 'improvement of: highways in -- the Fox Lake district.

' To Hire Man ----'In regard to the Fox Lake road gituation, the board authorized the _maintenance committee to hire a 'man and team to maintain the road 'between Volo and Fox Lake at a 'salary of $165 a month. The main-- tenance work on that road would be done while the Anitoch--Fox Lake road was under repair. When the latter --highway is completed, the actual improvement of the Volo--Fox Lake road will be taken up. "Frugality is a part of his being. He inherited it from the back-- ground from which he came. His method of living, always comforta-- ble and in good taste, is a stinging rebuke to current luxury and ex-- travagance. -- As vice president he did not welcome the idea ¢f main-- taining a large establishment.

He is marked by a fecundity of ideas and a frugality of idioms, by pro« digality of thought and economy of expression. . "To him life is work.

We pened on a magazine of national e:reulation thoothc:':u.u\d among other glaring errors we found in it was a picture of an American girl and be-- neath it the words: "The most beautiful woman in the world." --It made us wonder who is so slilty as to sup-- mz:tmmi-pmwbcflowtmmm.m- of pretty the face in the picture.
