SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 7, 1920 The Independent Vecte One needn't be a prophet or the son of a prophet to be able to see that the independent vote in the fall election is going to be a factor to be reckoned with by the political parties. The country has been through an experience which has made the wold party principles inadequate for the conditions that exist. The political parties will have to recognize this fact if they expect to keep the alle- giance of men and women who have | always in the past been true to the party label. It is to be established expected that there | should be a new alignment when Aw issues are presented to the people Unless they party leaders are suffi-| ciently wise to recognize this fact, | if they insist upon fighting out the | approaching campaign upon the old | party principles, this "independent vote," which today assumes growing importance, will resolve itself into a new party, with what result recent experience has shown. The American people have begun to think in terms of principles in- stead of personalities. It is a habit that contributes to independence in marking the ballot. The remedy is a political platform built upon real issues, a party standing upon real principles, a leader who has the vision and the character to see be- yond personal and partisan things into the needs of the people and to bring plans for meeting those needs into the party plans. Unless such a development comes we shall see the American electorate selecting from the candidates from both parties those men whose names have been made to stand to them for certain policies. Supply And Demand In College Appreciation of the value of knowing something more than the average man about some one par- ticular subject seems to have come with the war experience. The re- ports from all the colleges and uni- versities shows an increased enroll- ment, suggesting that young men who have already lost two years out of their livesfeel that it isworth while to spend other years in securing a college education before going out into the commercial world to make the fight for success. This is clearly the time for the col- leges to consider the question of ex- pansion, as Northwestern university is now considering it. Something to make it possible for these ambitious young people to secure what they hope to secure from college ought to be done, something to make the equipment and the capacity of the college plant adequate for the appli- cant for admission. This present need of Northwestern is made evident from the fact that new students who wish to enter for the second semester of this school year are finding it impossible to se- cure quarters in which to live, a repetition of the experience of the fall which was to be expected, but is none the less to be deplored. Until the needs of the university can be met in some adequate may by the college itself, the townspeople of 'young folks who are unable to find Evanston who have more room in their homes than they require for family use will be contributing to a very worthy purpose should they make those extra rooms available to Burton Holmes Will Describe War Zone Series of Five Travelogues on Great War Subjects To Start cn Feb- rooms in any of the boarding houses ruary 19 open to students.

The film is a two-reeler, brimful of action, and has as the main character Ralph Ince who portrays the part of Abraham Lincoln. The picture is educational and is proving very popu- ing, an adventure into real service that hold possibilities of the richest sort of results. Wcemen And Home Building Tt is rather an interesting evidence of the trend of the times that women should be asked to appear before the convention of the lumbermen of the Middle West to present some of the points concerning the making of homes, details in which women are primarily more concerned than men. in each course, the same being given delivery and must be given at least a half hour before the truck leaves the store. The new system will enable Mr. di Francesco to improve his already commendable service and will not necessitate boosting the prices on any of his goods. Next week's sale will prove this assertion. lar throughout the country. It was produced through the efforts of sev- eral national leading movie magnates. THANKS FIRE DEPARTMENT A note was received this week from the Village President of Glencoe ex- pressing thanks for the use of the local fire engine at a recent fire in Glencoe. He also said that they were very much impressed by the way the fire department handled matters. PARENT-TEACHER ACTIVITIES There will be another Community Sing led by Mrs. Philomen B. Kohl- saat at Greeley school next Wednes- day evening at 8 o'clock. These sings are proving very enjoyable affairs and those who go are very enthus- { what they had always considered to Any woman who has had a part in the building of a home knows just how all but impossible it has been, until very recently, to persuade the men engaged for the mechanical work of construction to deviate from be the proper thing in house con- struction. To wish to have a closet shelf a litle higher or a little lower than the regulation height was a whim which no right principled man meant to humor. To have the kitchen sink so set that it agreed with the stature of the woman who expected Burton rioimes in all cities in which Burton Holmes personally appears. The series here begins about the middle of February and his Travei- ogues will be given, one subject each week, in the following order: "Bel- gium", "The Battle-Fields of France", "Alsace Lorraine". Allies on the Rhine", and "Vanished Russia". These to preside over it required long hours or argument and constant attention to the workmen. jastic about them. ) be served during the social hour af- ter the sing.

FLOUR IS OFFERED AT REDUCED PRICES NEW PARK IS ASSURED It has been announced that the entire sum of $12,500 has been raised by private subscription for the pur- chase of the block west of the Hub- bard Woods station for a park. It is understood that the money raised will pay for over half of the lot while the Park Board will secure the bal- ance of the block through condem- nation proceedings. Flour is being offered by the United States Grain corporation at low prices, compared with what the mills are asking and the retailers are getting. Good soft winter wheat flours are to be had from dealers and department stores in Chicago and vicinity at $1.55 in 24%5-1b. sacks. This package has been found the most popular seller among retailers and the flour is being put up largely in sacks of this weight to popularize it with consumers. The grain corpora- tion, which is backed by the United States government, is endeavoring to reduce the cost of flour to consumers by this method. Flour is being taken freely and within a week more than 15,000 barrels have been sold. It is $1 to $3 and in some instances $4 a barrel lower than flour equally as good is selling for by retailers in various sections. In handling this flour care should be taken as it re- quires less water thar the spring wheat flours and makes equally as good bread and far better pastry. MAY CO-OPERATE Plans are under way whereby the Village and the Park Board will use the same equipment and men. The work would be grouped under one management which would tend to eliminate a great deal of unnecessary expense. The council has approved the plan and is now waiting for the Park Board to take definite action on the matter. DIES OF PNEUMONIA Miss Gudren Paulson, 902 Ash street, age 25 years, was buried at Memorial Park Sunday, February Ll. Miss Paulson died the preceding Fri- day at the home of her brother where she was living , from pneumonia. She was sick only twelve days. Services were held at the home. ENUMERATOR IS RESCUER In the central part of New York state, near Oswego, a few days ago an enumerator making his rounds on snowshoes arrived at an isolated farm dwelling only to find that an able-bodied man was needed more than a census gatherer as the man of the family had been sick in bed for several days and the farm animals were suffering for lack of food and water. The census man, like any good neighbor would, stopped long enough to do the chores, dig out paths through the deep snow and put things in ship-shape order before continuing his icurney. $1090 FOR PLAN COMMISSION At the meeting of the Village Board of Trustees Tuesday night the further sum of $1,000 was authorized to be appropriated for the prelimin- ary work being done by Mr. Lothholz as outlined by the Winnetka Plan commission. NEW VILLAGE HALLCOMMITTEE Village President Miller has ap- pointed a new committee to report to the Council on the question of a new Village Hall, Police and Fire Station. The committee consists of Trustee Boal as chairman and Trustees Cook and Wallace. GLASS FACTORIES IN JAPAN During 1918, 240 new glass factories employing 3,326 persons, came into existence in Japan, acord:irg to the Japan, Chronicle. The industry has made great strides since the begin- ning of the war, the value of the out- put increasing from about 7,000,000 ven to 27,360,000 yen in 1917, and to 41,934,000 yen in 1918. PNEUMONIA VICTIM Miss Caroline Miller, 1045 Ash street, died Monday at the Evanston hospital from pneumonia after a short confinement. Miss Miller, who was only 19 years old, was buried at Memorial Park Thursday after serv- ices were held at the home. Only indication of a fall in prices we have seen recently is the award of $39 to an Ohio girl in a breach-of- promise case--Boston Shoe and Leather Reporter. Indication that the world is once more settling back into a normal. pre-war state is shown by the an- nouncement that Great Britain will shortly launch the world's largest The sale of sugar for export from Czecho-Slovakia is prohibited until the yield of the beet crop, which has suffered considerably from bad climatic conditions.
