re or WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 11, 1920 ee ee ER RES --------. a WILMETTE TO HAVE TANK SERVICE UNIT Reorganized Unit To Be Composed of Present Members of I and K Companies of Eleventh In- fantry, I. N. G. ONE CORPS IN ILLINOIS Enlistments Are Now Open Under Provisions of Reorganization Act, Says Adjutant Authorization was recently receiv- ed from the adjutant general of Illi- nois, F. S. Dickson, for the establish- ment of a tank company in Evanston, the nucleus of which is to be com- posed of the present members of I and K companies of the Eleventh Illinois infantry. Company I of the Eleventh infantry is composed of Evanston men and Company K of Wilmette men. The authorization for this new or- ganization is in pursuance of the provisions of the army reorganiza- tion act of June, 1920. This act pro- vides for four tank battalions of three companies each, one company to be established in each of the fol- lowing states: New York, Pennsyl- vania, Massachusetts, Texas, Tenn- essee, South Carolina, Illinois, Ohio, isconsin, California, Washington and Minnesota. This authorization is of the official Illinois company, which is the only one in the state. Enlistments Now Open Enlistments for the company are now open, and as soon as enough recruits are secured and inspection by the state and federal authorities are made and the company accepted, the equipment will be sent. he company personnel will con- sist of the following officers and men: One captain, two first lieutenants, six second lieutenants, two sergeants first class, seventeen sergeants, thir- ty-one corporals, two cooks, fifty privates first class and thirty privates, making a total of nine officers and 132 men. The present membership of IT and K companies of the Eleventh Illinois infantry, it is thought, will furnish about fifty men, while the remainder of the company will be recruited from other sources. The company equipment will con- sist of the following: Twenty-four light 6-ton fighting tanks, one signal tank, and rolling kitchen, two mo- torcycles with side cars, six three- ton tractors, twenty-five five-ton tractors, one water tank, and one one-ton delivery truck. Manning of Tanks Fach of the fighting tanks will be armed with a Browning machine gun or two 37 mm. (one pounder) guns. Each tank is manned by two men--a driver and a gunner. The company will be organized into three combat platoons, each being composed of five tanks, and a headquarters to which will be assigned the remainder of the tanks of the company. Enlistments for the new company will be made under the provisions of the army reorganization act of June, 1920. Those provisions, in part, fol- low: "Enlistment is for a period of three years except that men who ave served in the United States army not less than six months and have been honorably discharged may enlist for one year. All re-enlist- ments are for a period of one year. "The pay of each man will be at the rate of one-thirtieth of the monthly pay of the same grade in the regular army for each drill ordered for the organization, where he is present for not less than one and one-half hours not exceeding eight drills in any one calendar month and not exceeding pixty drills in one year, except that a man will receive no pay for any month in which he shall have attended less than sixty per cent of the drills or other exer- cises ordered for the organization. "During encampments or in the event of being drafted or called into the federal service the pay is at the same rate as for the regular army." The establishment of this tank company is authorized by the mili- tary bureau of the war department of the national government. This bureau made the assignments of companies to the various twelve states where they are to be recruited and established and the adjutant gen- erals of those states have authorized their actual establishment. After the commanding officer of the tank company here has been ap- pointed by the adjutant general, the N. J. FELLOWS REGISTERED OPTICIAN Eyes Tested.

Enlistments are being received by the present officers of I and K com- panies of the Eleventh infantry and those desiring further information may apply at the headquarters of I company at Northwestern university observatory Monday evenings, or may apply personally to Captain L. S. Ritter, Lieut. H. M. Huxley of Lieut. E. S. Bersbach at Evanston, or Capt. Fred A. Rye at Wilmette. A small pamphlet containing all formation of the new organization the information in regard to the at Evanston is soon to appear. In speaking of the advantages of the training of the new company the pamphlet says: "Enlistment in the tank company of the Illinois nation- al guard offers an opportunity for service of great value at any time of possible emergency and also af- fords an excellent chance for instruc tron in the more strictly military branches of gunnery and tactics. For this service a man must be physically sound and possessed of self-reliance and resourcefulness to a degree superior to that required in many other branches of military service" It is stated that, although it is not absolutely essential, men who have had experience in driving cars and in auto-mechanics will be the most likely applicants to membership in the new organization.

New tar and gravel roof on Horace Mann school. Plumbing repaired. - Hollow at Skokie filled with ashes and covered. New fire extinguishers installed. Additional supply closet built. Many miscellaneous repairs made and painting done. Uncle REFUSE PERMIT TO HAUL STONE THROUGH VILLAGE Board Turns Deaf Ear to Request of Evanstor Mayor and Road Officials The Wilmette Village Board of Trustees at its regular session on Tuesday evening refused permission to the Chicago, North Shore and Mil- waukee Electric railway, to carry road building material over the rail- way's right of way through the vil- lage into Evanston. The action followed the reading of correspondence between Mayor Har- ry P. Pearsons of Evanston and Village President Edward Zipf, in which the Evanston executive asked permission of the village to have 25,000 cubic feet of material hauled into Evanston from the quaries at Racine, Wis. The fact that a portion of the elec- tric road passes along a residence street in the village (Greenleaf ave- nue) led to the adverse dicision by President Zipf, and the subsequent endorsement of his action by the Vil- lage Board. Evanston desires the crushed stone to complete its fall street repair pro- gram, it was said. NOT THE ART They had been discussing art, and the young man was getting slightly tired of the subject. "I remember one picture that brought tears to my eyes, however," he continued. "Ah, it was some pathetic subject," murmured the damsel, who took her- self seriously. "As a matter of fact I don't know what the subject was, but I happened to be sitting under a pretty heavy picture when the cord broke, and it came down on my head. --Pitts- burgh Chronicle-Telegraph.

Of primary importance to north shore residents, however, is the bitter fight waged by the Thompson element to unseat Wallace C. Clark and George W. Paullin, candidates for trustees of the Sanitary District of Chicago, for the obvious purpose of obtaining control of this vitally im- portant branch of the county govern- ment. George W. Paullin has established a reputation for honesty and fair dealing in his years of service as sanitary district trustee. He is a resident of Evanston and has work- ed constantly in the interest of the north shore. There is scant reason to believe he will not be selected by the electorate on next Wednesday to continue to give the benefit of his experience to the public of this sec- tion. Challenge to Voters The fight is on. It is in many respects the most bitter political en- counter in the more recent history of the county and state. The issues are clearly defined and the Republican voters of New Trier township must align with one or the other group. It will be those who favor the Thomp- son faction as opposed to those who favor the regular Republican ticket, the ticket headed by Warren G. Harding and Calvin Coolidge and which has sounded the challenge to all Republicans in the state of Illi- nois to stamp out for all time the "Lundin-Thompson, Tammany" clique lest the entire state fall into the "clutches" of "Tammany in Illinois". There will be little "scratching" of the ballots on Primary day. The majority of New Trier Republicans will place the cross mark at the head of the ticket of their choice. Mrs. Carrie Prouty has returned from Griswolda, Ludington, Mich., where she has been spending the summer. Nluanpziiiiaz222rZZ Y Home Again!
