Dignified Tribute The memorial is a dignified, simple and effective tribute to the Gold Star Men of Winnetka. On the following Monday at 8:45 o'clock, before school sessions open- ed, the children had their dedicntioh of the memorial. To the tune of "John Brown" the different grades marched into the lower corridor. First came Miss Dwyer's little children, they lining up where they could face the others, the Stars and Stripes being held aloft by them. After 500 children had assembled. and the Star Spangled Banner was sung, Superintendent Washburne gave a brief address, showing the children how they could follow in the steps of these noble men who had given, not lost, their lives in the great cause. ' Following the talk wreaths wer placed at the base of the tablets by two small boys of the lower grades. The exercises closed with the singing of "America the Beautiful". The Gold Star committee, in charge of the preparation of the memorial, includes the following: Mrs. William A. Otis, chairman; Mrs. John Buckingham, Mrs. Charles S. Buell, Mrs. Frank Crawford, Miss Kate Dwyer, Mrs. Carrie S. Good- child, Mrs. Carrie B. Prouty, Miss Ruth Matz, Mrs. Franklin Rudolph, Miss Emma Williams, Mrs. H. A. Windt.

COMMERCE GRADS LEADERS IN BUSINESS Dean Heilman Comments on Great Demand by Business Men Upon School Employment Bureau The total annual salaries of the men and women who have taken special courses recently in the School of Commerce of Northwestern Uni- versity and who have been placed in good positions by the school's bureau of employment aggregate $1,541,760, according to an announcement by Dean Ralph E. Heilman. Many large firms located in the Chicago manu- facturing district have benefitted through a friendly relationship with the school's bureau and during the season of. 1919-20, 824 calls for ser- vice were received by the bureau and 732 positions were filled as a re- sult. Besides, the employment bureau filled 105 positions for which no call was made in which the university itself took the initiative. Thus the total number of persons placed by the bureau was 837. The positions vary from plant managers and other $5,000 to $8,000 to the places of minor importance calling for salaries of from $1,200 to $4,000 a year. "The bureau of employment of our school is under the direction of a trained secretary," commented Dean Heilman, "and is maintained entirely by the school itself; no fees what- ever are charged either the employer or the graduate student. Business men, indeed, are asked to co-operate with us as we feel it to be one of our duties to benefit local business with the excellent product of North- western School of Commerce." WINNETKA PUBLIC LIBRARY GIVEN SET OF RARE BOOKS The board of trustees of the Win- netka Public Library is justly proud of a donation which has recently been made to the library by Mrs. John Buckingham, her daughter, Mrs. W. S. Elliott, and her niece, Mrs. R. E. Durham. The gift consists of a set of six volumes, being Racinel's "Les Coutmes Historiques", a work of much careful research, and repre- senting the culmination of the print- ers' engravers' and bookbinders' arts. The work comes from the library of Mr .and Mrs. William Gold Hibbard and bears their book plates. The gratitude of the citizens of Winnetka is due the donors for placing a work of such value in the library. LIBRARY BOARD REQUESTS DONATIONS OF NEW BOOKS Owing to the increase in the cost of maintaining the Winnetka Public library, the amount of money to be expended for books has of necessity been reduced. It is hoped however that citizens who are in the habit of buying the latest books will, after they have read them, help the lib- rary by donating such books so that they may be circulated among the patrons of the library.

Forty business men of New Trier township attended the initial dinner of the season given at Winnetka Community House, Monday evening, for the business men of the township, under the auspices of the New Trier Commercial Association. . The dinner was followed by an ad- dress by Henry Riggs Rathbone of Kenilworth, on the general subject, "The Mississippi Valley." Mr. Rathbone outlined effectively the remarkable resources and possi- ble future development of this great "land of plenty." He pictured Chi- cago and the surrounding country as the future world market and empha- sized the necessity of developing transportation, by rail, roadways, waterways and air routes. He stressed the necessity of developing good roads and waterways. He de- scribed the wonderful possibilities of opening the Mississippi® river to South American trade, and the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence River to trans-Atlantic commerce. President Henry B. Gates, of the New Trier Commercial association, was toastmaster at the dinner. George Batten, of Winnetka, led in community singing, instilling a plen- teous quantity of old-time "pep" into the evening's activites. The next business men's dinner is scheduled for early in December.

The chronic bor- rower 1s shunned by his friends, and soon becomes his worst enemy. The best way to keep from borrowing is to have a savings account at the bank. Then, if you need money, draw it and you are under obligations to no one. Most men and women make a fizzle of saving, because they put a great deal of thought into earn- ing of money and none at all into the saving of it.
