For the truth and right glasses at a MODERATE PRICE DR. J. J. LEWIS 7 West Madison St. COR, STATE 10th Floor 9 AA M to 6 PP M. Phone Rand. 2825 Faithful Service of JOHN F. DEVINE Republican Candidate for County Treasurer should in- sure his nomination. John F. Devine, Republican Can- didate for County Treasurer, has al- ways given the best that was within him for the work that he had on hand. As a boy he worked in the rol- ling mill, but step by step he al- ways proved that his heart was in his work and the best was the least that he would give. He saved half a million dollars for the peo- ple of Cook County as Clerk of the Probate Court because his life history has been one of giving his best to his employer. The fact that the people of the County happened to be his employer did not change his nature, nor his desire or ability to serve them. His opponent for the republican nomination for County Treasurer has a history of tax spending. His opponent is one of the defendants in the suit brought to recover the millions of dollars paid to so-called experts by the City of Chicago. Contrast the record of John F. Devine with that of his millionaire opponent who desires to collect other people's taxes, but who al- lowed over two hundred thousand dollars in taxes and penalties to go unpaid, until just prior to election when he compromised with his friend, the States Attorney of Cook County, on a twenty-five per cent basis. The average home owner must pay his taxes in full. This millionaire candidate by political friendship can settle on a 25% basis. Should the entire County Treasurer's Office be now presented to him for FEAR SKEETER RAID Expert Predicts Unbearable Conditions This Summer Unless War on Pests Begins Early Clouds of mosquitoes, sufficient to keep suburban folks barricated be- hind screened doors and windows and to chase golf players off the greens were predicted for early summer by Edwin M. Skinner, director of Mos- quito Control in the Metropolitan dis- trict of Chicago, for the agencies co- operating with the Gorgas Memorial Institute. "The unseasonable snowfall is to blame," said Mr. Skinner. "It means that there will be plenty of surface water at a time when temperature should be high enough for prolific mosquito breeding. A rainy spring will aggravate conditions. Must Begin Fight Early "Unless suburban towns, villages and golf clubs begin to fight the pests early, conditions are apt to be ex- tremely severe, with millions of mos- quitoes thirsting for the blood that is necessary to mature their eggs. "In the larger part of the metro- politan area, the clay and rock strata are very close to the surface, and there is little chance for sub-soil drainage by seepage. This means that the water liberated by the melting snow will lie for a considerable time on the surface in various pools. Warm Spell Brings Swarms "With the first warm temperatures the billions of mosquito eggs that have been - hibernating all winter will be hatched. Great swarms of mosquitoes are to be expected as soon as the necessary temperature for develop- ment comes. They will keep on breed- ing in the surface pools as long as they persist. Afterward the mos- quitoes will transfer their breeding activities to stagnant streams, storm- sewer catch basins, tin cans--anything that will hold water. "Last year was only a 30 per cent mosquito year. Should 1926 have a great deal of moisture during late spring and early summer, and all con- ditions are favorable, much work will be required for ordinary self protec- tion." Miss Dorothy Lee Pedigo has been spending the Easter holidays with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Lee M. Pedigo, of 115 Robsart road, Kenilworth. She will return shortly to the University of Illinois. --Q---- Miss Mary Ellen Bentley of Wil- mette and Miss Margaret Sterrett of Winnetka, spent their spring vaca- tion in Chattanooga, Tenn.
