WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, APRIL 8, 1922 FAVOR RINGER A5 COUNTY TREASURER Harold Ickes and Raymond Robins Praise Candidate Realizing the importance of the of- fice of County Treasurer, prominent citizens of the North Shore who feel a responsibility for good government are beginning to take an active in- terest in the campaign. Harold L. Ickes, of Hubbard Woods, has issued the following statement: "If the republican voters of Cook County have any interest in efficient public service, they will nominate Charles Ringer for county treasurer at the primary election on April 11. Has Excellent Record "During the years I have known Mr. Ringer, I have always found him fighting in public interest. He has supported the right kind of men and stood for the right kind of measures. I have found him to be upright and honorable in his personal business relationships, and he has made a fine record as a public official of Cook County. 1 have every confid- ence that if nominated and elected county treasurer, he will properly ad- minister that office, and that he will scrupulously account for and turn over to the public every cent .of in- terest earned upon the public funds that will be in his custody. "As a member of the Board of As- sessors, Mr. Ringer has been a fear- less' and independent public official. He deserves the confidence and sup- port of the voters." Raymond Robins, Chicago leader, in regard to the candidacy of Charles Ringer for the office of County Treas- urer says: "Charles Ringer, candidate in the Republican primary for nomination to the office of County Treasurer, is Charles Ringer especially worthy of the support of all forward looking republican voters. His service on the Board of Assessors has been able and efficient and marked by keen understanding of the duties of his office. His generous helpfulness to all citizens that have had business with the board has made him a host of friends. "Mr. Ringer's high character and ability for practical public service combine to make him an exceptional- ly competent official. He is a "go- "Insult not nature with absurd expense, Nor spoil her simple charms with vain pretense, 'Veigh well the subject; be with caution bold; rofuse of genius, mot profuse of gold."

DEVINE HAS UNIQUE RECORD Keeps Down Taxes and Rents Makes Profit for County Re-Nominate Him as CLERK of PROBATE COURT The most unique record made in Cook County this year was that of John F. Devine, Clerk of the Probate Court. His office made a profit for the last fiscal year of over $41,000.00 over and above all expenses. ; The operation of the usual public office in Cook County generally means a heavy charge upon the tax-payers of Cook County. In these days of increasing taxes, the voters can appreciate a public official who makes over $41,000.00 above all the expenses of his office. This profit goes to make up in part the deficit in other offices, and thereby decreases the tax burden and ultimately the rent burden of every voter in Cook County. This profit was made by Mr. Devine by doing the largest amount of work ever done in the office with the smallest proportionate amount of help. He effected economies with- out decreasing efficiency. He increased efficiency with- out increase of cost. His every move was one of a real busi- ness man in charge of a business office. On the other hand he did not forget that his office is one in which widows and orphans are most vitally interested. He devised new safe-guards to protect them against dishonesty or looting of estates. His heart is as big as his brain. A vote for John F. Devine on April 11th means an assurance and appreciation of efficiency and economy in public office. He solicits your support on his record. getter" whether in his private affairs or in the public service. "A home-maker as well as a build- er of homes, he enjoys the active friendship of all who know him. His constant success whenever he has been a candidate insures his election as well as his nomination. Every friend of reduced taxes and progres- sive county administration should vote for Charles Ringer." New Trier and Proviso Tied in Debate Contest New Trier last Friday evening tied with Proviso for first position in the Suburban Debating League by defeat- ing LaGrange's affirmatices at New Trier. The contest was somewhat of a walk-away, and the negatives, it may be said, met stronger opponents in their first debate at Morton. New Trier has challenged Proviso to a championship debate in the near future. Waukegan and Rockford High schools have issued challenges to the New Trier debaters. One of these schools will be met in debate in the early future. N. T. Beats Allegheny In Season's Last Meet Saturday night New Trier's swim- ming team defeated Allégheny High of Pittsburg, one of the east's best teams. The score was 44 to 15, but almost every eventw as close, and the visitors did a good deal better than the score would seem to indicate. New Trier was first in each of the seven events. New Trier, for the first time in weeks, had a full team in the pool, although Corbett hed not fully recov- ered from the effects of his injured wrist. Robertson was the high point winner with a first in the 40, 100, and participation in relay, totaling 11 points. Lithgow, of Allegheny, scored 6, the highest on their team. NOW RESPECTS FLAG When a carnival pitched its tents on his hotel property and an appeal to the authorities proved of no avail, Charles E. Young, Sr., St. Augustine, Fla., used the old sea method of show- ing distress and hung the American flag on his hostelry upside down. The American Legion protested the act and Young publicly apologized. EX-GOBS PREVENT LOOTING When a tornado struck Corinth, Miss., the mayor called on the Amer- ican Legion post to furnish an armed patrol to prevent pillaging. For hours after the catastrophe the ex-service men were on the job in the stricken areas. he Sport Car / N a golf course, where there are several women at- tractively dressed, if there is one woman in natty knickers, she stands out distinctly in the group. That best describes how the Lark, in appearance, dominates in the company of other cars. Its dashing design and sparkling colors, the extra wheels on the running boards, the trunk in the rear, the windshield wings, the nifty cowl lamps, and its com- plete equipment otherwise, create an ensemble effect totally new. But the best thing about the Lark is the Ansted Engine. It is aptly called the "miracle motor" because it has fifty per cent more power than conventional engines of the same size--it eclipses larger engines in power and shames smaller engines in economy.
