State Council of Defense is proving | its ability to handle its finances in a manner worthy the importance of the organization. The finance committee, of which Mrs. Charles E. Frankenthal is chair- man, set out to raise $100,000 for ex penses. Four-fifths of the sum has already been raised, partly through subscriptions, partly through the campaign of selling potato chips, as well as through benefit entertain- ments and other licensed means. The potato chip campaign alone netted the committee over $7,000. Washington, D. C. My dear Mrs. Straight-hair: On my last visit to Winnetka I went to your hairdresser to get a shampoo and I complained about my oily-looking hair, so the proprietor. who is a Frenchman, (I am sorry I have forgotten his name), suggested that I have a permanent wave. I did. My dear, you have no idea the comfort I have had ever since that wonderful work. I just wish you would try it once. I am sure you will like it too. I do hope, my dear, you are well; as for myself, I feel great and I assure you I am looking very well. Mrs. Permanent-Wave, 18 Curl Street. in town for that P. S.--Watch --Adv. tfc. Frenchman. FS (Continued from Page Two) a snag every placed he turned, and as bull headed as they are they must see soon that their sun has set The boys were all more or less run down by their long campaign but we are rounding into shape again and I am feeling more like my old self again. There were times when the fellows would barely walk but shuffled along like a bunch with paralysis. Johnny Langon is almost through school and will very shortly be Lieutenant Langon. I still have hopes that my turn will come as they say the training is wonderful and, belief me, if it should I shall take all the advantage it offers. On our return from the front we stopped near Paris for a few days and the Sergeants were given passes to the "city of wonders". There are no reports that flatter it either and as one fellow said "Paris sure has bum press agents." It is the most wonderful city I have ever seen and I would surely like to be able to study art there after the war. How- ever, my first thoughts will be in dear old Winnetka, the rest can all wait. Some of the boys have been sent home as instructors and I suppose Sergeant Bishop will be in Winnetka long before this letter gets home. It must be a grand and glorious feeling to walk in on all the old friends and put their feet under their own table again for a real "home cooked" meal. Well, as the French say, "Cest le Guerre", our time will come and after we drive the huns back to the Rhine and make them yell for peace, the 149th will come sailing back to its old home "Chi" and then all the sun- sets will be rosy and the red fields of France will once more turn to gold. As ever, your boy Paul. Sergeant Paul R. Kreger, 149th. F. A. Batt. B. A. P. O. 175. P. S.--I sent a German helmet home. Watch for it.

The campus will virtually be converted into Ar- my camo and the work will be very | much like that which the local | pastor has been doing for the past vear at Great Lakes naval training station. to PIONEER RESIDENT INFLUENZA VICTIM John Felke, 89 years of age, and one of the oldest settlers on the north shore, died a victim of Spanish Influenza at his home on Ridge avenue, Wednesday evening, Sep- tember 25. Mr. Felke has born in 1829 in Ger- many, and in 1854 sailed for America in a sailboat. The trip lasted ninety days, and was full of peril. He came direct to Chicago in a "prairie- schooner". He joined the St. Michael's parish in Chicago, and was one of its trustees for sixteen years. ~In 1857 he married Mary Winkler, and in 1865 he built the first greenhouse on Mohawk street, and was one of the first florists in Chicago. In 1886 he moved to Wilmette where he estab- lished a florist's business and joined St. Joseph's parish. He is survived by his widow, four daughters, Mrs. Margaret Then, Mrs. Mary Merkel, Mrs. Cecelia Wagner, and Mrs. Anna Miller, two sons, An- ton and Frank, 26 grand-children, and 19 great-grand children. The funeral, preceded by a Re- quiem High Mass at St. Joseph's church. was held at St. Boniface.
