No difficulty is reported in persuading the boys to keep their boots blacked. * * * * x The work of building battleships goes ahead just about as fast as was the case when they were used only to entertain summer girls on. * * * * * 3k The United States could probably learn how to organize the resources of this country if it could seize the memoranda of the foreign plotters. oe Ck The Indian question in the public mind just now is not so much the condition of the Red Man as the prospects for the Chicago ball teams. a With President Wilson's daughter reported engaged, how lonely the nings. oq Nek R The long distance running record, originally held by the Austrians, then | captured from them by the Roumani- ans, seems now to be safely in the | hands of the Turks. Ek kk There is a feeling among many horse owners that they can feed a good many scanty meals to their beasts before Kindness to Animals Sunday comes, April 28. * kk x When congress is in session every- one wants it to adjourn and stop up- setting the country, and when it isn't in session there is a clamorous de- mand for it to meet and do business. ERY SE A great many people who are un- able to save money on a liberal sal- ary are convinced that they could run a billion dollar government a great deal more efficiently than it is being done. * 3k Xx kx *k It was strange that the Germans neglected their usual plan in the case of this country of marrying one of their princesses to a son of one of our presidents so as to control our home politics. Sl RN TN No wonder the pessimists lament the decline of our national observ- ances, when on April Fools' Day so few wool doughnuts are worked off, and no one any longer nails fake purses to the sidewalk. k kk kk It is considered that people who live extravagantly should pay high taxes as they show that they have plenty of money; and that people who live frugally should pay high | taxes, as their economy must have al- lowed them to save a lot with which to pay. * ok kkk The concerns who sell porous plas- ters for lame back view the starting of so many back yard gardens with some equanimity. k kk kk xk . supplying footstools in foreign coun- tries, as they can always put their feet on an American. a The people would feel worse about the shortage of free seeds if they had more confidence that government seeds would come up. * * kk kx In calling congress together at this time President Wilson failed to see the profound appropriateness in hav- ing them meet April 1st. * * Xk * * The supreme court must have neg- lected to ask permission of the brotherhoods before it wrote some clauses of that Adamson law decision. Kw kk The United States in the presence of the fighting powers has courage- ously crawled out from under the bed and taken refuge under the bureau. * * Xk * 3k Now that our national income has fallen off as the result of stoppage of exports, there is a growing feeling that national honor requires us to get into the war. * kk kk A large number of congressmen are practicing their speeches for the next session, but it is doubtful if any of them are getting any more informa- tion about pending matters. White House will seem without the boys siting around on the porch eve- | | the call NORTH SHORE YOUNG MEN JOIN REGIMENT Drop Business and Personal Affairs to Rally to Defense of Country. MANAGER OF TALK CALLED Frank Lemon, Wilmette, and Thomas Lynch, Winnetka, Don Uniforms and Answer Call to Colors. Three young men of New Trier township have answered the call to the colors, promptly laying aside all business and personal affairs to take up arms and join the ranks of those who will form the nucleus of the great army to be formed for the de- fense of the country. Lloyd F. Hollister, of Winnetka and Wilmette, managing editor of The Lake Shore Publishing company and well and favorably known through- out the length and breadth of the township, has deserted his multi- tudinous duties as head of a large and growing business to put on the uniform of the state militia and shoulder a gun, prepared for what- ever may befall. Bookkeeper and Forester Go. Frank Lemon, bookkeeper and cost accountant with The Lake Shore Pub- lishing company, has also answered of his country and joined | his regiment now mobilizing. Thomas J. Lynch, village forester of Win- netka, is another who has answered the summons, dropping his work to | haste to the bugle's call. All three young men are members of Com- pany D, 6th Illinois Infantry. Mr. Hollister holds the rank of sergeant, Mr. Lemon is a corporal and Mr. Lynch a private, and all have seen some former service. The 6th Infantry will in all prob- ability be used for guard duty within the state but there is a possibility that the regiment will be ordered to the coast as soon as it has been re- cruited to full strength, which will not take long at the rate enlistments are being made. Reports from the various company headquarters indi- cate that the organization will be on a war footing within a very short tine, Boys In Line for Promotion. The three members of the 6th from New Trier are in direct line for pro- motion and will undoubtedly be ad- vanced in rank so soon as the need for more commissioned and non-com- missioned officers arise. All are hard working, earnest, energetic young men, who take pride in their regiment and its traditions. They represent the sterling qualities of present-day American manhood, loy- al to the core, honoring and respect- ing their country and with the deep- rooted love for the Flag that goes to make an invincible fighting man. | =B. 0-0 § - NORTH SHORE ELECTRIC OPERATES DINING CARS Latest Equipment Placed In Service on Limited Trains--Offer Best of Meals to Patrons of Road. The new convertible dining and parlor cars of the Chicago, North Shore and Milwaukee railroad were put into service last week on the lim- ited runs between Evanston and the Cream City. The cars are the very latest examples of comfort and lux- ury in transportation equipment. The steel cars may be used either as dining or parlor cars, having tables that fold and shelve themselves in the side of the coach, removing all the appearances of a diner in substi- tuting for a parlor car. Fdward Welch has charge of the catering on the diners, and the service offered is as complete and quick as any of the largest grill rooms. F.
