Other men going in and out con- stantly. 1 enter, greet the man of import- ance at the table. He at once intro- duces me to his friend, Bill; William Busse, President of the Board of Com- missioners of Cook county and again standing for nomination. He is a strongly built man pretty nearly sixty years old. Nothing fancy in hig appearance, looks just like what he is--farmer, town merchant, rural bank president. I'd been told he was a regular politician. Well, he didn't look like one. Look at his picture in this column and see what you think of him. He's been on the County board for over 20 years, elected first in 1900. While on the board he was chairman of the finance and other committees. He worked zealously and well. In 1907 he was chosen president of the board. His experience in public life has been long and varied. For twelve vears he has been a member of the Mount Prespect school board. He or- ganized and now is president of the Mt. Prospect National bank. He is row serving his third term as Presi- dent of the village board of Mt. Pros- pect. A look of pride came into his eye as he mentioned the fact that the present splendid county building was completed during his presidency of the county board, as was also the model infirmary at Oak Forest. "Both buildings built within the contract price. Cook county placed on a strictly cash paying basis, $2,400,000 of the county's bonds redeemed in tour years." He talked earnestly of what he was planning to co if elected. "County roads and county institutions," he said, holding up his hand with two fingers extended. "They're the big things. If I'm president again, we'll have a system of concrete roads in Cook county that can't be matched in all America. All the towns connected so that you can go easily from one to another and you won't have to rome back the same way you went. I know this whole great county up and down and east and west. I don't think, either, that anybody can put it over me in the matter of fair prices and good materials for roads. "And the county institutions. I'm ~oirg to do all I can to help the needy neople in Cook county. Give the County poor the best care possible. I'm a plain man myself and I know what the people want. And by the way, 1 think my work as Forest Pre- serve commissioner ought to he men- tioned. I'm a modest man," he said with a human twinkle in his eye, 'but I think I've had a good deal with the huying of land for the Forest preserve. I think I've saved oquite a little for Cook county. That's all. Good-bye!" BIGGER TOWN--BIGGER BOILERS The Village council has underway plans for the enlargement of the boil- ers at the Municipal Water and Light plant to increase the capacity in or- der to take care of the needs com- mensurate with the rapid growth in , Winnetka's population.

New Trier has held the championship of the league since 1917. The north shore natators entered the meet without the services of Cor- bett, regarded as one of the best fan- cy divers seen on the circuit in recent years. Robinson, another star of the New Trier squad, who performed so sensationally in a meet at the I. A. C. last December, was in poor condition. Parker Davis of Evanston was the star of the meet, scoring firsts in the forty and the 100 yard swims and also doing some nifty work as a member of the relay team, which won in fast held at Northwestern Saturday and time. | on April 3 will clash with Hyde Park, The Evanston team is entered in the | Chicago, city champions, in a meet interscholastic meet which will be | for the Cook County championship.
