SATURDAY, MARCH 13, 1920 New Experience For The Taxpayer -- The government of Illinois is re- fusing to accept the hold-up prices that have been submitted by con- tractors for the building of the new roadways throughout the state. It is a new thing in the experience of the taxpayer to see some show of in- terest in public officials as to how the money collected from him and his fellow sufferers should be spent. Illinois needs the new roads which it is proposed to build. It is much to be hoped that there will be a dis- position on the part of the govern- ment to hold out against the pay- ment of the high rate demanded by those who have submitted bids until contractors are convinced that there has come an end to extracting easy money from the public treasury and be encouraged to look for errors in their figures that will admit of a new bid. That Way Danger Lies Acting Secretary of State Polk an- nounced that he is going "to stick around and help the President all he can." He was laying out for him- self a dangerous program, for that was just exactly what Secretary Lansing did, and it cost him his of- ficial head. President Wilson's long suit is not accepting help in the job of run- ning the country. PAUL SCHULZE HOME IS SOLD TO H. H. JOHNSON Beautiful Kenilwcrth Residence of Baker Is Sold for $37,500--Family To Travel One of the most important real estate transactions of the week was the sale of the beautiful Paul Schulze home at 158 Melrose avenue, Kenil- worth, to H. H. Johnson, wealthy oil refiner of Lawrenceville, IIL The deal was made through Hill and Wheeler, 401 Linden avenue, Wil- mette. The sale price was $37,500. The Schulze home is one of the show places of the north shore. The lot has a 200 foot frontal and is 184 feet deep. Its beautiful landscape feat- ures have attracted the attention of scores of visitors. The home itself is of an especially unique and im- posing type. Mr. Schulze, who is president of the baking company which bears his name, has been visiting various spots in Florida, accompanied by his fam- ily. The family expects to tour the country for some time before locating permanently, and their departure from the Village will be regretted by a great number of friends on the north shore. Another deal this week by Hill and Wheeler was the purchase by Grover Hermann, New York City, of the William F. Temple home at 82 Essex road, Winnetka for $25,000, subject] to $15,000 encumbsmance. HEATHEN TILL SOIL Agriculture as an impetus to for- eign missions is one of the myriad plans of the Interchurch World movement for the furtherance of the gospel, in distant lands. Tilling the soil is at low ebb among the heathen, announced missionaries from the four corners of the earth at a recent con- ference in the United States, and the formation of an international associa- tion of agricultural missions came as a result. This body, assisted by the Protestant Foreign Mission boards, co-operating and co-ordinating their work with the Interchurch World movement, will establish agricultural missions with trained agriculturalists as instructors. The most modern farming machinery will be installed and the courses, adapted for the native mind, will keep step with the American schools. ' Legion Men Discuss Bonus and Training Post To Write Congressmen Indicat- ing Sancticn of Proposed Bill on Military Training At the regular meeting Tuesday, March 10, of the Winnetka Post of the American Legion, a large crowd of members were present to listen to an interesting talk by Louis P. Cain, in which the speaker declared that the American public at large were ex- pecting great results to be accomp- lished through the action of the legion in all matters of national im- portance. He said that the things thus far accomplished had won the honor and respect of the whole coun- try. The talk was of unusual interest and the members felt well satisfied that the speaker for the meeting could not have been better slectd. Following Mr. Cain's talk th mem- bers entered into the various games afforded with real zest. Bowling, quoit-pitching, card and chess games and music comprised the entertain- ment program. In a closely contest- ed quoit-pitching contest, R. I. Or- wig won the first prize and R. W. Hardenburg emerged with the second prize. The formation of a rifle club creat- ed much favorable coment and after plans had been outlined in detail, a number of the veterans signed up. The matter of universal military training also came in for much dis- cussion and resulted in all the mem- bers being requested to voice their approval of the plan in letters to the congressman from their district. This matter along with that of the Sol- dier's bonus will be more fully dis- cussed as the next meeting of the local post. In the indoor game last Sunday at Community House between the local all-Legion team and the Foster Park team of Evanstqn, the Evanstonians were vanquished by a batting fest in the first inning, resulting in a final score of 9 to 3. The Winnetka team hit the Foster pitcher's offerings tc all parts of the gym in the first in- ning, running up four counters-- enough to win the game. The visitors threatened to merge ahead at differ- ent periods, but Paul Kreger, pitch- ing for the post, used excellent judg- ment when in a pinch. After the fifth inning the post team regained their batting eye and the game was safe. Another game will probably be played tomorrow at the Community House. TWO CASES OF TYPHOID REPORTED IN TOWNSHIP Dr. C. O. Schneider. Commissioner of Health, Urges Residents to Main- tain former Precautions That residents of Winnetka and Glencoe can not afford to relax in precautions against disease since the severe part of the winter has passed, is pointed out in a statement yester- day by Commissioner of Health C. O. Schneider. A review of the health conditions of both communities show that there are still a number of cases of whoop- cough, scarlet fever, measles, pneu- monia, tuberculosis, etc. "In fact" declared Dr. Schneider, in urging the people to maintain the vigilance that they exercised during the winter, "there is a little bit of everything and it would be unsafe for anyone to become lax at this time. Two cases of typhoid, the first cases in years in either commun- ity, have been reported to Dr. Schneider and investigation of the cases to trace their origin has proven futile. Miss Emma Enright, 17, 324 Adams street, is confined to her home with 1 severe case of typhoid, and eight- vear old Elizabeth McDowell of 794 Greenwood avenue, has been taken to the Evanston hospital. Special precautions to check any spread of this latest disease have been taken by the health commis- sioner. Dr. Schneider reported six cases of whooping cough in the last week and declared that one of the cases, at least, was traceable to direct care- lessness on the part of another fam- ily, where the sickness had previous- ly been reported. The commissioner also wished to remind the local res- idents of the fact that symptoms in whooping cough are not immediately perceptible, so that mild cases of coughing should be closely watched. RURAL CHURCH PROBLEM How to meet the problem of the ru- ral churches is a task which is arous- ing the concern of the General Board of Promotion of the Northern Bap- tist convention. Surveys recently made by representatives of the con- vention reveal that in some section many of these churches are gradually dying. It was also shown that the outlook for others is far from prom- isgin. This is particularly true in the East. In the Western states the need is for.the establishment of churches in the hundreds of new communities which are springing up.
