WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 Northwestern Links Club House The ne clubhouse of the Northwestern Public links in the Forest Preserve which is considered a model »f low cost and efficiency. Although the building is attractive and adequate to the needs of the club its cost will only be $12,000 when completed. Miste «nx Says: Spring will soon be here! How do I know? I was told the other morn- ing by the most infallable of weather prophets, the wild geese. They ought to know and they generally do. These gray voyagers of the skies aroused me from a deep slumber on the morning of which 1 speak. It was barely dawn; the sun had scarce- ly colored the eastern rim of the hori- zon. I lay wondering what had awakened me, for my alarm clock was set for some two hours later. Then suddenly I heard it! That indescrib- able cross between the honk of an old-fashioned, rubber-bulb-operated automobile horn and the high-pitched bay of a far-off hound that is the call of the big Canadian gray goose. I knew then what had been the cause. That harsh but melodious shriek, though faint in the distance, never fails to reach down into my sleep and arouse some half-buried, atavistic sense or emotion which brings me awake in a moment. The flock was approaching, for the clamor increased. I felt, as always, a strange incomprehensible pounding of my heart and stirring of my blood. Jump- ing up, I ran to the window and watching the sky to the e geese travel almost due s particular point in their ney northward--and final- : rded with the sight of the long, low-flying, gray "V". I watched until they passed out of sight and then, filled with a restlessness I could not explain even to myself, I gave up all thoughts of further sleep and, dressing, went out into the chill dawn for a walk along the lake shore. This may explain to my wondering boss why I came to work early one morning. Now 1 am happy but im- patient, waiting for the coming spring to arrive. I know it will be here soon for its advance agents, the wild geese, told me so. Cook County Pays Big Revenue to Road Fund According to a statement issued this week by Secretary of State Louis L. Emmerson, © Cook County $4,146,988 or more than one-third of the $11,546,206 collected in automobile fees during 1924. This is an increase of $916,718 over the total fees paid by that county in 1923. Peoria county paid $271,725, leading the downstate counties; St. Clair county paid $255,653; 'Kane county $237,250; Madison county, $219,872; Winnebago county, $209,671; Sangamon county, 206,024, and LaSalle county $203,732. In 1923 Peoria and St. Clair counties were the only downstate counties pay- ng $200,000 a year. Hardin county paid $5,635, the small- est amount collected from any county. This is an increase of $1,875 over the previous year. All of th money collected by the automobile department goes directly in- to the Good Roads fund and the cost of operation of the office is paid from the general revenue fund. Of Interest Only to Our Advertisers Why do we call it 'a' "Roll of Honor"? Because we think it fitting that hon- or be done any man or group of men so enterprising and ambitious as to invest in a Full-page Ad. We believe that setting forth one's intentions in so prominent a way indicates a con- fidence in the value of one's plans and nerchandise, and heartens those who are less aggressive.
