- yr mp yy Nearly Everybody In Winnetka Reads The Talk y VOL :X, NO. 2. WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, SATURDAY, MARCH 26, 1921 SIXTEEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS LEGION RALLY BRINGS DISTINGUISHED GUESTS Remarkable Array of Speakers to Appear at Monster Rally to Be Held at Glencoe Village School Hall OFFICIALS ON PROGRAM * Gen. Foreman, Col. Clinnin and State 4 i Officials of American Legion to + Lead Great Meeting 3 T0 Gen. Milton J. Foreman, Col. Clin- - "atin, Rev. Dr. Samuel N. Eatson, Wil- liam R. McCauley, William O. Set- lige and Roger V. Flory comprise the 'speakers at the monster American Legion rally to be held at the Glencoe Village schoor auditorium, Wednes- day evening, March 30, by the Glen- coe Post of the American Legion, in . co-operation with the churches and <lubs of that village. - ~ Never before in the history of the north shore has such an array of dis- 'ginguished and forceful speakers ap- peared on the rostrum at a single meeting. Milton J. Foreman, one of the outstanding leaders in the World War and commander of the Illinois National Guard, is a bulwark of strength in the American Legion. He was formerly State Commander for Illinois has been active in both state and national work of the organiza- tion of World War veterans. Gen. Foreman is an eminent platform orator. Distinguished War Hero Col. John V. Clinnin, another hero of the World War and prominent fig- ure in Legion ranks, is a speaker of wide reputation. Colonel Clinnin has been particularly active in developing "clean athletics" through the medium of the American Legion. Dro Samuel N. Watson, rector of St. - Elisabeth's church, Glencoe, and former pastor of the American church of Paris, needs no introduction to "Winnetkans. He ranks with thefore: most as a thinker and orator. Dr. Watson was a resident of France dut- ing the entire period of the World 'War, gained greater distinction than perhaps any civilian American in rec- ognition of his sterling services in re- lief work. William. R. McCauley is the pro- gressive State Commissioner of the Illinois American Legion, and will have some interesting information to "convey concerning the work the or- garfization has accomplished in every section of the State. William O. Setliffe and Roger V. Flory are, respectively, State Adju- tant and the Director of Organiza- tion of the Illinois American Legion. The great rally is given for the single purpose of arousing interest ine north shore residents in the work and projects of their local legion posts. It is the endeavor of the Legion men to get the north shore solidly behind® the American Legion by acquainting them with actual facts regarding the foundation, history, purposes and am- bitions of the Legion. Legion posts from Evanston to Lake Forest, inclusive, will attend the rally in a body and various organiza- tions of the north shore are expected to be represented by large delega- tions. The meeting # open to all res- idents without charge. .

Teachers Deserting School For Altar Dear children: Your Superintendent of schools, Mr Washburne, was engaged this week in scouring the well known normal schools of northern Wis- consin, in anxious quest of new teachers for the next school year. No, your dear teachers have not been discharged. They are all very capable and we would like so much to have them with us always, but, you see, they are all such nice looking and such sweet dispositioned young persons that the young men of this and other prosperous communities have laid siege, determined and suc- cessful siege, with following result: Five of the teachers in the Winnet- ka Public schools, all instructors in the Horace Mann school, are looking forward to honeymoon flats or cozy vine-clad bungalows. All will take the vow in the good old summer time. In chronological order of announce- ment we have: os Miss Edna Harry and Harold Cleve- land, Chicago. Miss Margaret Casey and Paul Royer of Abilene, Kas. Miss Mildred Jones and Harry Cadenhead, Winnetka. _ Unis Wright and Glen D. McMeek- in, Waverly, Ia. Julia Steipes and Soren Ostergaard, post graduate student at the Uni- versity of Chicago. Mr. Washburne, please get the new teachers on a long term contract! Lieut. Ely's Classic Inscribed on Tablet Famous Words of Fallen War Hero To Be Fitting Tribute on Tablet to Be Unveiled in Church Here Farly in the summer the Winnetka Congregational church will unveil a bronze memorial-tablet; a tribute to Lieut. Dinsmore Ely, Winnetka man, who fell in the line of duty in France. Carved on the tablet will be the now famous words penned by Lieut. Ely shortly before his death, "Like a Liberty Bond, it is an investment, not a loss, when a man dies for his coun- try." They were selected by H...C. Stearns, instructor in design at Mas- sachusetts Institute of Technology, as the most fitting inscription for the tablet which has been designed as "Tech," at the instance of Dr, James Owen Ely, 592 Cherry street, the young soldier's father. The design has just been completed and the tablet soon will be cast and sent to Winnetka. The words chosen for the tablet are part of young Ely's last letter home, in which he wrote: "And I want to say in closing, if anything should happen to me, let's have no mourning, in spirit or in dress. Like a Liberty Bond, it is an mmvestment, not a loss, when a man dies for his country. It is an honor to a family; and is that the time for weeping? I would rather leave my family rich in pleasant memories of my life than numbered in sorrow at my death." SCHOOL FUND SUBSCRIBERS TO REVIEW CONTRACT BIDS Review of bids received Monday evening in contracts for construction of the proposed new school building to be erected in the Skokie, will be made Tuesday evening, March 29, in a meeting of the major subscribers tc the school fund.
