WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 9, 1921 ------------ NORTH SHORE TICKET WINS "HANDS DOWN" Regular Ticket Buries James R. Crocker, Independent Candidate, in Annual Town Election BALLOTING LACKS INTERES Glencoe Gets Corner on Voting Activ- ity With Tapper and Crocker Workers On Job * In one of the lightest and generally most uninterested elections in the history of New Trier Township, the North Shore Township ticket swept the field Tuesday in what was prac- tically equivalent to a complimentary ballot. r © The sole opposing candidate, James R. Crocker, who sought re-election toy a justiceship as an independent was literally overwhelmed even with the desultory voting. Battle In Glencoe In Glencoe alone, were there any appreciable signs of activity in the vicinity of the Township polling places. In that Village the interest centered upon George W. Tapper, Jr, North Shore Township ticket candi- date, and Crocker who conducted a brave but futile ficht as an isolated candidate. Tapper swung the vil- lage heavily into the column of the regular ticket a circumstance which hailed securely the defeat of his rival. Both men labored diligently up to the last minute of voting thereby attract- ing the undivided interest of the election workers all along the line in the township. For 4 time the opposition felt com- pelled to admit Crocker had a fight- ing chance in view of the light vote in other sections of the township and the comparatively heavy balloting in Glencoe. But Tapper carried his home field by such a comfortable ma- jority as to obliterate the chances of the Independent Ticket. The estimated total vote on the justices tabulated prior to the final and official canvass follows: Frederick R. Crossley ....-- Jacob M. Dickinson, Jr. Daniel M. Mickey .......... .795 George W. Tapper: Jr, ccoooennen. 637 James R .Crocker ................ 204 ® Without contest the following con- stables were elected: . Edward Cummings, ©" Thomas M. League, Jacob Rudolph, Peter Schildgen, Joseph A. Sheppard. Charles H. Hubbard was elected without opposition to the office of New Trier Township School Trustee, his name appearing on the regular ticket.

A particular degree of warmth, a precise amount of sun are relied upon to bring out the original lustre and beanty of the fabric. The picture tells the story more graphically. It is airy, clean and sunlit. hill The knowledge how to keep Oriental rugs in perfect condition is very important. "A stitch in time saves nine" is peculiarly applicable to Oriental rugs, and 'ought not to be forgotten. If you notice a hole or a break, have it repaired. Owing to the irregular ten- sion exerted on the warp in weaving, often the borders of the carpet curl under and ele- vations appear in the center of the rug, which have a tendency to damage the rug consider- ably, if not attended to at once. The ideas of a great many people about the wear and'proverbial durability of Orien- tal rugs are so strongly founded that they often overlook the fact that their valued speci- mens are subjected to all kinds of abuse and neglect. NEVER BEAT AN ORIENTAL RUG. Any process of beating is harmful. cannot eliminate the dirt, and its services go no further than deficient dusting. Let us clean some of your rugs and you will wonder at their real glory and color. Our washing process not only removes the dirt, dust and spots, but restores the natural freshness of color, and gives you a rug that is THOROUGHLY CLEAN, CLEAR THROUGH. Careful attention is given each rug as though it were the ONLY rug we had to clean.

The rug is re- turned to you thoroughly cleaned, perfectly sterilized, moth and germ proof. Beating J -- PHONE WILMETTE 55 nnn w : pg = Fil AAR DO ps
