Schaefer, cashier of the Wilmette State Bank, who had felt much con- cern at his unaccountable absence from his desk this week, were elated to hear of his return Wednesday evening to his home in Gross Point. Unwarranted and grossly exagger- ated accounts of the incident appear- ing in Chicago dailies, were re- sponsible, in large measure, for the keen anxiety evidenced by friends of the bank official upon his disap- pearance. Information could not be obtained from Mr. Schaefer up to the time of going to press. Close friends of the family stated he was slightly in- disposed and remained at home on Thursday.

LTG48-tfc Being a Big Story of a Real Kashian Brothers Sell Rugs At Big Reduction. To Help Destitute Relatives in Armenia Ten years ago a pair of youthful Armenians came to Wilmette and established a modest but prosperous oriental rug cleaning business. The business came to be known along the north shore as Kashian Brothers Rug Cleaners. The Kashian brothers have enjoyed average prosperity, and pleasant and peaceful life far away from the turmoil and upheaval in the home land. You will be surprised then, to hear that, in the face of these facts, M. and K. Kashian are quite unhappy. Back in Armenia are two sisters, widowed by the gory hand of the "unspeakable Turk". Also there are their seven chilren, orphaned as a result of the furious massacres. They are in desperate circumstances, sur- viving by some happy trick of fate the death-dealing hand of the mussel- man, only to face what is probably a less humane death by starvation. The Kashian brothers are determ- ined to help. They are determined to make every sacrifice to help the dear ones who are in need. They will not rest until these dear ones are taken away from the scenes of carn- age and misery and brought safely to the friendly refuge of America, the land that has been so kind to the Kashian brothers. In order to realize this ambition the Kashian brothers have decided upon a plan to raise quickly the necessary funds. It is planned to convert into cash a large part of the stock at the establishment at 1145 Greenleaf ave- nue. To accomplish this every rug is to be reduced in prices from IS to 25 per cent. Rugs are displayed at the Rambo Hat Shop, at 1168 Wil- mette avenue. The shop will be open during the evening each day in the week throughout the period of the sale. The Kashian brothers have sacri- ficed many conveniences and pleasur- es in the past few years to provide funds for destitute relatives in Ar- menia. They have gone to the ex- tent of fitting ,-up. simple living quarters at the rear of their place of business to avoid high rentals. Residents of the north shore who are in the market for real bargains will no doubt invite this opportunity for economy and lending aid to those who are in need. Infantile Paralysis Cases Reported Here Householder* and Merchants Re- quested To Protect Foodstuffs Against Flies and Dirt Three cases of infantile paralysis have developed in Wilmette during ithe last three months, according to Health Commissioner E. E. Moore. The most recent case brought to the attention of the village department of health was reported in the family of Henry J. Burt, 1027 Elmwood ave- nue, where a small girl has been stricken with the disease. The small son of Feri Parlangeli, proprietor of a confectionery at Central avenue and Electric Place, was taken ill with the contagion two weeks ago. The firs^t case was reported several weeks ago. Residents of the village and mer- chants handling foodstuffs are re- quested by Commissioner Moore to take every precaution against the, spread of the contagion. "Flies are the carriers of infantile paralysis germs", says Dr. Moore, "therefore it is imperative that food- stuffs be protected against flies, dust and dirt." Special notices are to be placed in all places of business dealing in food- stuffs, calling attention to the village food ordinance which requires that all foods, meats, fruits, vegetables, etc., be protected from flies, dust and dirt. School rooms previously occupied by the children affected with the dis- ease have been fumigated. The fam- ilies in each instance have been quarantined, except in the case of the Parlangeli household as the boy is in the contagious ward at the Ev- anston hospital. TREE PLANTING DAY HERE IS NOVEMBER 6 Wilmette Plan Commission' Tree and Shrubbery Committee Requests Applications For Trees and Shrubs ^;.%0§?j.:. ilif; ami DISTRIBUTE TREE COUPONS Every Householder in the Village" To Co-operate in Beautiful Project Asked To Co-operate in Village The work of beautifying Wilmette through general and systematic tree and shrub planting is taking definite shape under the direction of the Wil- mette Plan Commission. Saturday, November 6. has been designated as the official planting day, and many property owners have already made plans for planting trees and shrubbery on that day. The recent tornado must have in- dicated to every one that the natur- al forest trees will probably not sur- vive many years. In almost every case where trees were destroyed, de- cay had set in at the base, which had gradually weakened the tree, and it is only reasonable to suppose that this decay is going on in most all of our natural forest trees, which;, have not been able to withstand the inroads of civilization. -;.,. v " Building For Future Intelligent planting at this time of nursery trees, particularly of Elms,, will not only beautify our streets now, but will be building for tb future. Through the planting of s orative trees as the Hawthor Wild Crab which are indigi the Wilmette soil, most a. effects can be secured. Thi many varieties of these trees, of which blossom beautifully different periods during thi* and summer months. ' Ask Householders' Support Every householder is earnestly re- quested and urged by the committee in charge of this work to lend sup- port in this matter by doing some planting this season, particularly of trees. The prices of the trees mentioned above, including planting, are sur- prisingly low, and much can be done with a small expenditure of money. The committee has secured whole- sale figures on several varieties of trees, which they will be pleased to supply to any one desiring such in- formation, and arrangements have been made with nurseries for giving individuals the benefit of these spe- cial prices. Remember the date of planting day â€"Saturday, November 6. The com- mittee needs the support of every Wilmette citizen to make this a com- plete success. Coupons are to be distributed by the committee at the schools, Wil- mette Woman's club and at the churches of the village. House- holders are asked to direct these coupons to the Wilmette Plan Com- mission at the Village Hall. On these coupons are listed the trees available at the present time as follows: Haw- thorne. 3 to 4 feet, $1. Wild Crab, 3 to 4 feet, $1.50. Elm, 2 inches in diameter, $5. lift llfilll SCHOOL HOLIDAY Children in the public schools of the village enjoyed a holiday Tues- day of this week.
