Wilmette Leap. fll w.__ Vo._. -Wilmette citizens have reasonable grounds for the claim Mark Twain made · for the strawberry, viz., that God could have made a more ideal place for the people to live than our north shore, but He never did. WILKI'm Lm, a newspaper having the welfare of the community at heart, could serve the future in no better way than by striving to unite the several communities in an effort to keep our north' shore life distinctive and to pass on unspoiled to posterity our fair wooded shore. Rw. Fraacie Cur Stitler, WO..tt.Let me congratulate you on your fine new home. You deserve it. You have given the north shore a service that it needs and you have done it efficiently and always in the spirit of good will. Surely the Christian church, if it had everywhere such unstinted support from the press as we have always had at your hands in Wilmette, would be far stronger than it is as a national institution. May your prosperity and your good influence continue and expand. (Continued on next page)
