One proposes the mandatory re-- moval of all roadside advertising before public funds will be used for improving the highway. The other remedy is a special tax on all farm land for advertising purposes. If permissable by law, both plans might be productive of much goad. Highway departments can accomplish much by banning signs where they obstruct the traffic view. Landowners have it within their power to clear beauty spots of unsightly billboards. And if the motoring public continues to complain loudly and per-- sistently the advertisers will be wary of placing their advertising where it offends their customers. SPUR TO PROGRESS Fifty--two years ago on April 14 there 'were filed with the patent office the first papers on the microphone. Today more than 26,000,000 telephones, scattered over the face of the globe, make it possible for almost every human being to communicate instantly with his fellows.

On the other hand New Eng-- land newspapers have carried advertisements urging consumers to buy foreign coal rather than Pennsylvania anthracite. What has happened to Pennsylvania coal producers is likely to happen to any monopoly that puts prices beyond the ability of consumers to pay. aid of newspaper advertising. On the other hand, number.ess mercantile failures can be traced directly to inadequate appro-- priations for newspaper advertising. Under modern economic, social and commercial conditions a city or town would become a literal reproduction of the poetical "Deserted Village" if deprived of all business enterprise. Nor could a store exist where there was not some semblance of a com-- munity. The relation of the newspaper to both community and business is different in degree onlv.

Opinions, expressed by friends of the proposition, were to the effect that the principal reason for the plan's downfall was the proposed paving of 22nd street and Dugdale road. If the property owners voted to become a part of North Chicago at the present time they would be forced to pay for the paving. Friends of the plan express the hope that the state will go abead with plans to pave these two main roads G@uring the coming summer }months although many believe this action is doubtful. ! The Association of' Commerce of | North Chicago was the principal ' backer of the annexation plan and according to Joseph Jadrich, presi-- Ide'nt of the organization, did its duty by presenting the facts on the propo-- lumon before the voters fairly and !squarely. _ $ed mna-- an Measure Is Defeated, 189 to 33; Opposed By Cost of i Nothing more | the matter for i VEGETABLE AND FRUIT SPECIALS! 6 For Prompt Delivery Paving Streets more is to be done on for some time and until a petition is taken up among the | Christ Voss, Praltfje View, is a med-- voters in that district it is not be-- | ical patient at the Condell Memorial lieved any otRerf annexation plans will be gotten underway. _ -- Libertyville Club To Visit The Nash Plant The defeat cuts off whatever plans had been started towards expend-- ing the city, which is rather cramp ed for space at the present time.
