WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, JUNE 7, 1918 KIN HEAR NEWS OF i Sergeant Gordon J. Geeting of Chica- go, Cousin of North Shore Re- sidents, Falls in Big Drive LAST LETTER AN OMEN Tells of Prospects for Busy Time in Region Where Hun Makes Fur- ious Advance Death, as it stalks the grim battle- fields of Europe, has again hovered | close home to Wilmette and Kenil- | worth. Gordon J. Geeting who had lived with his mother, Mrs. Elizabeth | Geeting, at 4910 North avenue, Chicago, has paid the price | of his life in the cause of civilisation | | { Spaulding and freedom. The message of the supreme sacri- fice paid, kindles in the hearts of mother and kin the feeling of mingl- ed sorrow and pride--a life has been laid upon the altar of liberty, willing- ly and with great honor. Sergeant Geeting, first cousin of Mrs. C. C. Carnahan of 700 Central avenue and B. C. Hawkes of Kenil- worth avenue, in charge of the sup- plies of his company, was a victim of the present German drive. He had been in the front line trenches for some time and it was thought he may have drowned in a water filled shell hole or communication trench.] Indication of his close proximity to the scene of action is found in the last letter received by relatives: "Don't worry about me if you don't hear from me often," he wrote, "we are going into action soon, and we will be mighty busy from now on." Sergeant Geeting, who was 22 years of age, enlisted April 17, 1917, as a volunteer, serving some time on the border. He went to France in Octo- ber, passing through Chicago, fhen he had time only to call his mother on the telephone. He was the son of the late John F. Geeting, for many years a promi- nent Chicago attorney. An only sister, Miss Cora Geeting, lives with her mother at the Chicago home. YOU MUST PAY C. O. D. ~~ TU THE LAUNDRY MAN You'll probably have to pay cash when your laundryman comes around the next time because every laundry (practically no exceptions)will hence- forth be operated on a strictly cash on delivery basis. This action by the laundries of the country and the north shore in par- ticular is expected to be immediate and is due to the excessive cost of materials and labor. The Govern- ment has requested every laundry- man in the country, through the Na- tional Laundrymen's association, to cut to the minimum the cost of serv- ice and operate on as strictly a cash basis as possible. "It's a matter of either getting the cash or getting out of business" ac- cording to Victor Ortlund of the French Laundry company in Evans- ton, which does an extensive busi- ness on the north shore. "The Laun- dryman's best customers are the salaried people whose salaries have not been raised commensurate with the high cost of living and find it difficult at times to meet the bills. Laundries will be forced out of busi- ness if they cannot get cash for their work." Billions to Britain The Treasury Department has ex- tended to Great Britain an addition- al credit of $75,000,000, making the . 'total of American loans to that country $2,795,000,000, and the total to all co-belligerents $5,363,850,000. Yd kok kkk kk kok kok hk okok hk ONLY AMERICA CAN HELP. "On your side are boundless supplies of men, food, and mate- rial; on this side a boundless de- mand for their help. "Our men are war-weary and their nerves have been strained by more than three years of hard, relentless toil. "Our position is critical, par ticularly until the next harvest, but the United States can save us. "You Americans have the men, the skill, and the material to save the allied cause."
