-- i WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 1918 PREPARE PLANS FOR THIRD LOAN DRIVE Local Organization Making Ready to Boost Sale of Liberty Bonds in the Village, Saturday, April 6. ANNOUNCE PLANS LATER Campaign Starts on Anniversary of War Declaration Plans for the sale of bonds in the campaign for the Third Liberty Loan are being formulated in the Village and a definite outline of organization to take charge of the matter is expec- ted to be announced in the near future. The campaign for the Third Liber- ty Loan will be opened on the 6th of April, the anniversary of the declara- tion of a state of war between the United States and Germany. Await Congressional Action The amount, terms, and conditions of the loan are dependent upon fur- ther legislation and will be an- nounced as soon as Congress has granted the necessary powers. Secretary McAdoo chose the 6th of April as the day to open the cam- paign as the most fitting date to call for a patriotic response to the sum- mons to duty to every American, to ask from the people at home the same fervent patriotism that actu- ates our gallant sons on the battle- field of France and on the waters of the Atlantic. TAX RECEIPTS EXCEED THOSE OF PAST YEARS Hoyt King, Collector of New Trier Township, reports a collection of real estate and personal property taxes amounting to $287,000. This is an excess over last vear of $37,000. The Township receives $2,- | 740 of this amount as its share of the 2 per cent for collection. In addition the township receives the interest on the money, while in the. collector's hands. These amounts will defray township expenses. King states that public spirit, as well as convenience to the taxpayers in New Trier Township led the re- sidents to respond promptly to the appeal of the local bodies for early payment of the taxes in order to meet the local needs. LITTLE MARY IN SCRUB- GIRL ROLE THIS WEEK Mary Pickford is a sereb-gi) her mother is a washerwoman, and her srothers are newsboys. She has re- "fused an offer of marriage from a ; gilded society youth, and is going to marry a ba-tender. Not in rea life, of course, but in "Amarilly of Clothes Line Alley," an Artcraft picture, which is declared to be the most amusing photoplay she has ever appeared in. The society yeuth falls in love with Amarilly and Mary and her folks from the slums meet the four hundred, resulting in extremely fun- ny situations. "Amarilly of Clothes Line 'Alley" will be shown at the Star theatre, Evanston, three days, Thursday, Fri- day and Saturday, March 2), 22 and 23. FINDS BIG MARKET FOR POPULAR WAR PASTIME Frank H. Gathercoal, north shore inventor and vice-president of the New Trier Commercial association, has succeeded in having his latest invention, a soldiers' and sailors' checker board game, which has as its object the ilimination of the terrible Huns, placed in several State street stores, in Chicago. The game, invented by Gathercoal some months ago, has proven parti- | cularly popular with the men in war camps and naval stations as well as with the people at home. Perennial Relative. Billy, six months old, wrote to his aunt the other day, and his mother thought best to read the letter before she mailed it: "Dear Aunt Gertrude: I go to scool every day and take my lunch. I am well how are you. Scool | is lots of fun. your undying nefew, | Billy."--Kansas City Star. Absolutely Useress. | While opinion is not unanimous in support of the idea, probably the most | useless thing is the inside pocket which every tailor sews into a waist- coat.--Topeka Capital. é -- _ i chairman RED CROSS SHOWS WORK OF FIRST YEAR OF WAR Financial Statement Presents Vivid Idea of Diversity of Activity in National Organization Of local 'interest is the following report issued at Red Cross head- quarters which offers a splendid idea of the war work being done by the national organzation. What the American Red Cross has done with the millions of dollars in- trusted to it by the people of the United States is shown in the state- ment. Appropriations to date amount to $79,450,727, and cover the period from the time we entered the war last April, until April 30, 1918. For foreign relief the sum of $44,- 657,795 has been appropriated and much of it spent, as follows: France, $30,519,259; Belgium, $1,999,521; Rus- sia, $751,940; Roumania, $2,617,298; Italy, $3,146,016; Serbia, 871,180; Great Britain, $1,703,642; other for- eign countries, $2,536,300; for Ame- rican soldiers who may be taken prisoners, $343,627. As the government supplies nearly everything our soldiers and sailors, need, the appropriation for the Uni- ted States is only $2,612,532. All sal- laries and administrative expenses are paid out of membership dues so that every penny of the war fund goes to relief. WAR WORKERS PREPARE FOR RED CROSS CAMPAIGN Local war workers are making pre- parations for the nationwide six day campaign,to be carried on,over a period from March 18 to March 23, by the Red Cross and the Commis- sion for Relief in Belgium to secure a minimum quantity of 5000 tons of clothes for the destitute people of Belgium and occupied portions of northern France. At the request of Herbert C. Hoo- ver, chairman of the commission for relief in Belgium, H. P. Davison, of the Red Cross war council, has granted the use of the National Red Cross organization for collecting the needed clothing. The donations will be shipped at once to the Atlantic seaboard and sent over- seas for distribution. Painters & Decorator J. F.
