One of the "livest wires" at the headquarters of the Fourth Liberty loan in Chicago is our modest neigh- bor, Charles N. Strotz. Its better fun than the circus to go down and watch men "jump on his neck" for this and that ruling in connection with the campaign, One of his chief troubles is this quota business. Every district, of course, thinks its quota too high and thereupon the blame is thrust upon Mr. Strotz. Well we don't mind what happens to other communities but, when our fel- low townsman comes right out and tells Winnetka that $660,000 is far too little for "us folks" to subscribe for the bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan we believe we ought properly to "jump on his neck"; but instead of that, with the true blue spirit of Winnetkans every body "falls to" with the idea of going over the top even though Strotz has set that "top" so far above our heads. In the first five days of the "drive" Winnetka subscribed $100,000 per day. That made Strotz smile a sort of "I told you so smile." After all. then, perhaps Strotz was the best judge. Block Captains put over one District Chairman It was like this....In last week's Talk appeared in a rather conspicu- ous place a letter signed by H. A. de Windt in which he stated that Win- netka's quota was $650,000 or, as he said, at the rate of $120 per capita of a population figured at 5500. The Block Captains immediately got out their pencils and by multiplying 5500 by $120 discovered that their district chairman had only made a mistake of $10,000. Or in other words Winnetka's quota is actually $660.000. It is certain however, that Win- netka will run so far ahead of her aguota that a little thing like $10.000 | doesn't cut any figure at all. Tt has been noted however, that Mr. de Windt checks over his figures a little on more carefully now then he did be- fore Block Captains "put one over him."

Six men qualified for general service will be sent to Northwestern university this month to take up special instruction in radio and metal work. The call for the men to go to the Texas training camp will not take men who registered in the latest draft on September 12. but will practically clear up all of the older drafts so that the next call will draw men now being classified under the new draft. Exemption Board officials. assisted by women volunteer workers are completing the classification of the 18 to 36 draft men and the order numbers will be issued for publica- tion within another week. It is expected that Class 1 men un- der the new draft will be called for examination within two weeks though no definite announcement to that effect has come from the draft headquarters. Churches Must Remain Closed There will be no services in Win- netka churches on Sunday, October 13, by order of the Village depart- ment of Health, issued this morning. The present Influenza quarantine will continue indefinitely, according to the Health Commissioner so that no public meeting places are per- mitted to be opened. is also the agefit for | tion. they really wanted to.

We were speaking to a man this week who had made a very liberal stibscription and when he heard of | kind he came right out and said, "Yes-- I'll take two, thousand dollar bonds for that purpose--good idea." Now that's the "plus" idea--if a man or woman can't buy as big a bond as that--smaller ones will be just as welcome by any soldier or sailor. FOR A SOLDIER WHAT IS YOUR WAR BUDGET? No financial sacrifice you can make will equal the sacrifice of the man "over there" But you can do your utmost in a financial way, and this is how you can do it. Set down today as accurately as possible the amount of money you positively will need to conduct your business and household affairs dur- ing the next six months, bearing in mind all the economies you have been asked to practice. Then set down your earnings and income from all sources during the next six months, include every cent {you expect to receive. ( The difference between these two i ficures wil be the amount of "fight- ing" Fourth Liberty bonds you should subscribe for at once. Common sense tells you to make this budget, your conscience should urge you to invest in bonds the way your figures indicate. The soldiers must have every cent of your sur- plus earnings and income from now on. Keeping your Liberty bonds is just as important as buying them. Liberty Loan Organization, Carroll Dean Murphy. FOR A SAILOR Home on Absence Leave Ensign Fisher, son of Mr. and Mrs. Walter L. Fisher, is home on a short leave of absence from New York, preparatory to going overseas. Ensign Fisher has been flying along the Atlantic coast from New Found- land to Florida. the top" 'the same household EMERGENCY HOSPITAL IS SPLENDID SUCCESS (Continued from Page One) to be excluded where any member in is ill with this contagious disease. It is expected theschools, churches and all public places may be opened next Wednesday morning provided the present favorable condition pre- vail. The number of cases reported each day are diminishing and it is hoped that by that time we may safely remove the quarantine re- strictions that are now and will con- tinue to be in force until that time. Only_one death has occurred with- in the week, making a total of three deaths in the Village from this dis- ease. Michael Felosco, 17 years old, 387 Provident avenue, died at the Chicago Union hospital on October 6, Until such time as the Health com- missioner rescinds the closing order the strict quarantine rules will be en- forced. Parents are warned that violators will be summarily prose- cuted. Physicians and attendants have been lax in reporting cases at the time of their development, ac- cording to the Health authorities, and are urged to make their reports to the health department after symp- toms of the epidemic become ap- parent. ' FATHER OF SMILEAGE PLAN GETS SOUVENIR Harry P. Harrison of Kenilworth, originator of the national smileage movement, and its present executive chairman, returned to Chicago from Washington on Monday with a smileage souvenir which he prizes very highly. A smileage book was found inside a horse's gas mask after the battle of Chateau Thierry and was turned over by one of the soldiers to Raymond D. Fosdick. chairman of the Commission on Training Camp activities of the War Department. Mr. Fosdick has just returned from a trip to France and on reaching Washington turned the battle scarred smileage book over to Mr. Harrison who, as the originator of the smileage idea, he felt sure would value it as a souvenir. FUEL ADMINISTRATION WANTS VOLUNTEER WORKERS Many who have never burned soft coal for house heating must do so for part of the winter. They will need to learn a new method of firing. and in some cases will require alter- ations to the furnaces. Uncle Sam twants volunteers to help solve these problems. Men are needed who can give an evening once or twice a week as called on; first, to learn the correct methods of firing soft coal, and the furnace conditions needed; second, to visit coal users who are having trouble with their plants find order to get best results. The Fuel Administration will give complete direction how to do the ; : A ; | work, so a man need not have tech- buying a bond for a soldier or sailor | . : " nical knowledge to undertake this work.

If you are willing to help, write to the Cook County Committee of the U. S. Fuel Administration, 306 South Wabash avenue, Chicago, Ill BUY A BOND LET RED CROSS HAVE "RETIRED" CLOTHING There is another Red Cross drive on-- not for money, but for cast off clothes. The garment "not good enough to wear, but too good to throw away" is sought. The people of Belgium have been reduced to fashioning garments from flour sacks, old blankets, sheets, and tablecloths. Now, even that source of supply is almost gone. In some places whole families sleep together to share a single blanket. Outgrown garments of children, out-of-style suits of men and women are the sort desired by the Red Cross. Don't give threadbare, worn out gar- ments. Remember while you are wondering what you are going to do if your coal supply is short, in Bel- gium old men, women and children are facing winter without even clothes. The Red Cross wants 5.000 tons of warm garments at once. Search the closets and trunks for all you can spare--search the neighbors, too-- and deliver to the nearest Red Cross Chapter. FOR A SOLDIER Twenty bushels of peach stones were turned over to the Boy Scouts by a motion picture theater proprie- tor in New Brighton, Pa.. who sold tickets at fifty peach stones each.

("Our cavalry have rescued Na- zareth from the enemy whose super- men described Christianity as a Creed for Slaves.") The Emperor mocked at Nazareth In his almighty hour The Slave that bowed himself to death And walked with slaves in Nazareth, What were His words but wasted breath Before that "will to power." Yet, in the darkest hour of all, When black defeat began, The Emperor heard the mountains quake, He felt the graves beneath him shake. He watched his legions rally and break, And he whimpered as they ran. "I hear a shout that moves the earth, A cry that wakes the dead! Will no one tell me whence they come, For all my messengers are dumb? What power is this that comes to birth And breaks my power?" he said. Then, all around his foundering guns, Though dawn was now not far, The darkness filled with a living fear That whispered at the Emperor's ear. "The armies of the dead draw near Beneath an eastern star." The trumpet blows in Nazareth, The Slave is risen again! To cross the bitter wastes of death, The horsemen ride from Nazareth, And the Power we mocked as wasted breath Returns, in power, to reign; Rides on, in white, through Nazareth. To save His world again. BUY A BOND Italy Wants Our Flag Italy has asked for 1.800.000 Amer- ican flags and for 10,000 yards of flag bunting. FOR A SAILOR | | MAKE IT A SINGING JOB (Four-Minute Men to start communi- ty singing campaign to promote civilian morale.) Give four minutes to singing, say the Four-Minute men. A singing army can't be beaten, and if the field army finds that true, the army of "the inner lines" ought to speed up and help win the war faster by singing. The latest bulletin of the Four- Minute men is given to plans for in- troducing four minutes of community singing into theater programs where Four-Minute men are now speaking, Slides, with the words of well known tunes are to be thrown on the screen and the audiences will be asked to join in and sing for four minutes. Everybody can help on this. FOR A SOLDIER DR. W. W. VANCE Dentist Successor to the late DR. O. D. SWAIN Phone Glen. 54. Glencoe, Ill. Ziesing Block Hours 9 a. m. to 3 p. m.
