Man-0y As a usual thing the fishing in this 'lake is better than in any of the others in the vicinity such as Marie, Channel, Fox. Grass. Bluff or Pis- takee, especially for nappies and other pan fish. Last Sunday was the exception and of the many folks who were there from Downers Grove. Hinmlale and vicinity. none came back with any to speak of. Not only do many people from the Grove go there every year but it is also a hang-out for people from all over Dul’uge County. One can hard- ly go there without meeting someâ€" one from Wheaton, West Chicago, Nuperville or Hinsdale. ' Lake Petite. as its name indicates, is a ’vcry pretty little body of water; Situated on the northeast comer of Fox 'Lnke and connected with that body of water by a short channel, it is the mndezvous for many local fish- ermen.

' Briefly, the attractions areâ€"an incom- parable climate, wild animals of num- erous species living their natural life (Yellowstone is the largest wild game preserve in the world); magnificent forests; wild flowers of brilliant hues, in great variety and profusion; lakes, rivers, waterfalls (the Great Fall is 31-, most twice as high as Niagara) innum-l erable rivers and creeks; geysers, mud! volcanos, hot and mineral springs, ex-l quisitely colored pools; mountains and1 canyons; wonderful hotels, permanent “comfy” camps, an automobile ride that has no counterpart in all the world andâ€"the Cody Road, which has been called “the most wonderful 90 miles in America.” SHOULD SPEND AT LEAST ONE VACATION IN “THE LAND CE W 0 N D E R S ” -- Y ELLOWSTONE PARK -- AND SEE SIGHTS AND SCENES THE LIKE OF WHICH DO NOT EXIST ELSEWHERE! J. L. REMMERS, Ticket Agent The appointment of Mr. Morgan comes as no surprise. He is fitted for the position he now holds, as he has ably filled the job of Assistant Supt. for a number of years. Lewis V. Morgan was appointed Supt. of Schools of DuPage County, at a meeting of the Board of Super- visors held at Wheaton on Wednes- day. He takes the place of C. B. Bowman of Naperville, who resigned last Monday to re-enter the ministry in the East, and will fill his uncom- pleted term. Son of Former County Superinten- dent Given Post a!

Added to this is the danger of :l serious car shortage. Grain and other things are starting to move very fast with the. gradual resumption of business. leaving less cars for coal. Conditions are gradually working themselves around to the same as prevailed in the early part of last winter. The mines have not been worked to full capacity during the summer months which makes a shortage at the mines. 0m advice is “Order Your (‘0an While the Getting's Good." is a slang phrase but it applies to COM. right now. “Get It While the Gefling’s Good” Lard Lurkw Gampamy Phone Day 20 Resident Member of the Lumberman's Publicity Bureau Buschmnnn Bros.
