DESCRIBES NEW 'SCHOOL AT OJ Edward Yeomans Joins Staff : of Modern Educational Venture in California TEACHES SHOP WORK Booklet Describes Advan- tages of Valley School Edward Yeomans, former resident of Hubbard Woods, and well known to hundreds of Winnetka people, has mailed a pamphlet to the Winnetka Talk de- scribing the Valley school located at Ojai, Ventura county, California, started by Mr. Yeomans and which is to open its doors October 1, 1923. "The Valley school of Ojai, Cali- fornia," reads an extract from the pamphlet, "is the successor to the Bris- tol school of the same place, a school that has been operating successfully for nine years and maintained an excellent reputation under the leadership of Mrs. W. W. Bristol. , "The principal of the Valley school is Mrs. Gudrun Thorne-Thomsen, and it is this fact that gives peculiar distinc- tion to the venture and enlists the par- ticular interest of its sponsors. ~~ From Francis Parker School "Mrs. Thomsen has been teaching in the Elementary grades of the Francis Parker school, Chicago, and is known among all school people as a dis- tinguished authority on elementary school procedure and on children's literature. "It is her purpose, with the assistance of her associates, to build up a school in Ojai Valley which will occupy a place among the best schools for ele- mentary education in the country. There will be nine grades. Higher grades will be added the second year if the matter of applications for these grades justify the employment of a teacher." Emphasizes Shop Work - . Associated with Mrs. Thomsen in the school will be Mrs. Walter W. Bristol, and experienced and expert teacher in arithmetic and grammar, and a special teacher in domestic science; Carl Lindin, landscape painter, who will give instruc- tion in drawing and painting; Edward Yeomans, who will conduct shop work with the hope the shop may demonstrate its right to equal consideration with any other school activity, as both girls and boys will do shop work. Natural science, with particular re- gard to the story of the earth, to astron- omy, and to plant and animal life around the school, will be given a prominent position in the school curriculm. ' Music will occupy a position of first importance in the school, This depart- ment will be in charge ofa pupil of Mr. Thomas Whitney Surette, of Concord, Mass. Foster Cut-Door Activity - Out-door activities will include, besides the playground work, expeditions into the mountains to the Mojave desert and to the Pacific shore. Arrangements have been made for the rental of horses and giving of riding lessons. The school will have the regular ser- vices of a doctor and trained nurse. Treasury Certificates a Part of Finance Program "That the sale of Treasury Savings Certificates has become a permanent part of the financing program of the United States Government was di- vulged at a meeting just held in Washington, which was attended by the Savings Directors from the twelve Federal Reserve Districts of the United States. The Seventh Federal Reserve Dis- trict, comprising Iowa, northern Illi- nois and Indiana, and southern Michi- gan and Wisconsin, was represented by Wm. B. Bosworth of Chicago. Mr Bosworth showed Treasury Depart- ment officials that the people of the Seventh District bought more Treas- ury Savings Certificates in 1922 than any other district in the country and attributed the "championship" of this district to the active cooperation of local postmasters. A billion dollars of the public debt will be carried in the form of Treas- ury Savings Certificates which will be sold to the public during the next four years. Half of the 1923 quota of $250,000,000 has already been sold. Treasury Savings Certificates are is- sued in denominations of $25, $100, and $1,000. They mature in five years but the U. S. Treasury will cash them at any time upon demand. These se- curities may be purchased at the lo- cal postoffice or direct from the Fed- eral Reserve Bank of Chicago.

First Comfort in 15 Years A lady who was wearing her first pair of Cantilever Shoes and wished to know where one of her friends in another city could buy them, wrote to the manufacturers: "lI am having such comfort as I have not had in fifteen years in new shoes." Cantilever Shoes are comfortable when new because they are shaped to the natural shape of the foot. Most shoes are unnaturally shaped, nd the period of "breaking in" is a trying one because the shoe and foot are having a conflict as to which shape shall prevail. Usually it ends in a compromise, with the foot giving in to the shoe. Or per- haps the pair of shoes is put away in a dark portion of the closet and never worn again. How much better to buy shoes that you can wear, from the first day to the last, in comfort, enjoy- ment and peace of mind. How wasteful to have a closetful of shoes that you can't bear to put on again! If you are interested in true econ- omy, try the Cantilever Shoe. It wears well and looks well. And its correct features such as toe-room, flexible shank, good heels rightly you from foot troubles which are as costly as they are painful. By wearing Canti- lever Shoes, you can forget your feet, you can walk further with less fati- gue, you can stand longer withont impatience, you can look well and feel well you can be happy. 1150 Central Ave., Wilmette Wilmette Shoe Store Z.

All cabs will be equipped with meters. This system of pay- - ing cab fares is accurate and much more reasonable than the old flat rate system. By discontinuing the habit of charging, we will eliminate considerable overhead expense, therefore we are in a position to get you LOWER RATES. We have also added two new Yellow Cabs, which have been proven the best cabs on the road today and are used exclusively by the Yellow Cab Co. of Chicago. You will be well satisfied with the prompt service given vou by this growing company, and will help us grow bigger by telling your friends about us. We want the people of Winnetka to know that you will regulate our rates. We want lower rates, that depends on volume, so it is practically in your hands to make the rates. Give us the volume, and we will give y ou low rates. As rapidly as Winnetka shows that it wants more cabs, we will add Black and White Cabs to our initial fleet. We don't care how many, the more the better for all of us. This can only be accomplished by paying cash for each trip, which will eliminate the high cost of maintaining an office force. After June 1st, 1923, all trips will be cash. Black and White Cab Co. 730 Elm Street, Winnetka' Rates--1st 1-3 mile, 20c; each additional mile, 10c; each extra passenger, 20c.
