10 ---------- WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, MAY 1, 1920 PATRIOTS TO FIGHT RADICALS' MAY DAY United Americans, State of Illinois, Plan Patriotic Rallies in Many Sections of the State May-Day is going to become a sec- ond Fourth of July,--instead of turn- ing May-Day over exclusively to the tender mercies of those who would destroy our American form of gov- ernment, it will be utilized as a rally- ing day of those who believe in Am- erican ideals and who want to see our constitution maintained intact. This, at least, is the purpose of United Americans--State of Illinois, which has already completed ar- rangements for more than two hun- dred patriotic celebrations to be held at strategic points in Illinois,--to off- set the effect of proposed radical meetings. Perfect Organization Word from state headquarters, United Americans is to the effect that by May 1, 1921, the organization will be well enough established so that patriotic May-Day celebrations will be held in practically every com- munity in the state. The compara- tively small number of formal pat- riotic observances on May-Day, 1920, is due to the fact that United Am- ericans, as an organization, is only now beginning its work. Many inquiries have been made recently as to the plan of campaign to be followed by United Americans, whether or not the method of op- posing radicalism will be of the "treat 'em rough" order, or more conservatively constructive." The state management of United Amer- icans gives assurance that it is op- posing the various phases of radical- ism with exactly the same weapon that radicalism has been using--with the exception of the bomb and the riot. United Americans proposes to meet every radical speech with a thorough American speech; every ra- dical meeting with a thoroughly red- blooded American meeting. Counteract Radicalism Only the other day, during a strike in Chicago, one of the most radical soap-box orators climbed upon a wagon in the vicinity of the Chicago city hall and delivered himself of an incendiary speech. United Amer- icans was not organized at that time, but it is rapidly completing an or- ganization that will enable it to have its own speakers for just such emerg- encies--and hereafter when there is any curbstone gathering of any group of people, the opportunity to spread propaganda will be taken ad- vantage of by those who believe in America--just as it has been taken advantage of in the past by those who want to destroy America. While the present crganization of United Americans is confined almost exclusively to Chicago, this is simply because of the urgent need at that point for such activity. A field staff is being trained that soon will be sent into all of the counties of Illinois for the purpose of perfecting county or- ganizations and making the campaign truly statewile. Childs and Franklin Buy Kenosha Business and North Shore Wholesale Grocery House Takes Over Kuehn Business Big Evanston Childs and Franklyn, prominent wholesale grocers of Evanston and Wilmette, have recently concluded a deal by which they have purchased from Charles H. Kuehn of Kenosha, Wisconsin, his interest in the Ken- osha Wholesale Grocery company.

Jackson Blvd. | Between State and Wabash | CHICAGO The Telephone Company has rush periods just as have the street cars, the stores, the banks and the stamp window in the post office. A man will wait in line patiently several minutes to make a deposit in a bank, to buy postage stamps, register a letter, buy a railroad ticket or a seat in the theatre But if occasion- ally he has to wait twenty seconds for a telephone operator he feels greatly misused and condemns the service unsparingly. and make no complaint. Let one put a frank question or two to oneself: "Does any other company or store in town wait on me with such uniform prompt- ness, or cause me so little direct loss of time, as does the Telephone Company?" "Can I get the service of a street car, a clerk, a salesgirl, a cashier, or of anyone else nearly as quickly, whenever I want it, as I can that of a Telephone Operator?" "When I push the buzzer on my desk for the stenographer or the messenger, do they always come immediately?" The vast system which cares for 550,000 tele- phones is set up to answer calls in a very few Any variation therefrom is usually because a number of calls have come in simul- taneously. In telephone operation, as in every- seconds. thing else, when an overload occurs, patience should be exercised by everyone until the jam has been cleared. CHICAGO TELEPHONE COMPANY corisideration of the deal, but the Kenosha company is incorporated with a capital of $60,000 and it has been considered one of the most valuible properties of its kind in that section of Wisconsin. Negotiations for the purchase of the business, which have been going on for some time, were concluded Friday evening. The new owners took possession Monday morning and the business is being continued Ys, NC G NC) > SALISBURY SORT 2 oN a RAINPROOF CLOTHING FOR AUTOING FISHING CAMPING HUNTING AND THE STREET We Have the Right Garment § for Every Need W.
