Devine, Republican can- didate for county treasurer, has ser- ved the people of Cook County for the last seven and one-half years as Clerk of the Probate Court. In that capaci- ty he earned more than half a mil- lion dollars over and above all expenses of his office. This profit has meant a corres- ponding decrease in taxation for the people of Cook County. His efficiency has been such that the county efficiency expert has continually stated that he wished other offices were run on the same basis as that of Mr. Devine, while the Democratic president of the County Board, as a matter of fair- ness has also joined in the praise of his work. The county treasurer employs al- most four times the number of em- ployes required by the clerk of the Probate Court. As county treasurer the same efficient administrative policies which Mr. Devine has em- ployed as clerk of the Probate Court ought to result in a corres- ponding saving for the public ag- gregating millions of dollars. As a public official Mr. Devine has combined economy in efficiency of administration with service. While making an actual profit for the tax- payers the Probate Court has also been the only court where a case can be heard on the same day that it is filed. Proved fitness means assured pro- fits. John F. Devine is an asset to the people of Cook County, and his present value of them should be in- creased still more by making him County Treasurer. PRIMARIES TUESDAY, APRIL 13th POLLS OPEN 6A. M.to5P. M. Christian Science Churches "Reality" was the subject of the les- son sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, Sunday, March 28. The Golden Text was from Psalms 92:15, "The Lord is upright: he is my rock, and there is no unrighteous- ness in him." Among the citations which com- prised the sermon was the following pertinent selection from the Bible: "And many nations shall come, and say, Come, and let us go up to the 1 | mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among many people, and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up a sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more." (Micah 4:23). Also a corresponding passage from the Christian Science textbook, "Sci- ence and Health with Key to the Scriptures," by Mary Baker Eddy: "Mortals must gravitate Godward, their affections and aims grow spiritual,-- they must near the broader interpre- tations of being, and gain some proper sense of the infinite,-- in order that sin and mortality may be put off" (p. 265). TRAVEL ALONE Arthur, Jr.,, and Michael Mayer, ages 11 and 8 years respectively, sons of Mr. and Mrs. A. L.
