WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 21, 1925 LEGION NEWS From Winnetka Post Headquarters Have you paid your 1925 dues? We ! have repeatedly requested that all mem- I'bers pay their ducs early, but the re- "sult, so far, is not very gratifying. Last year -our membership increased nearly 100 percent, but we don't wish to again undertake another drive to collect dues. ' Don't put this important duty off any longer! Mail your check, and don't finish there, but secure the application and check of your neighbor if he is eligible! It should not be necessary to 'sell him the idea. Attend the meetings and find out what your Post is actually doing and we are sure you will feel honored. We have a program with no end in sight, and all constructive work, but your commander has the endurance of only a human be- ing. He requires help to carry on his work. Our indoor team fared forth to Waukegan recently and returned on, the short end of a '10° 't0"'9 score in a fast encounter with the famous Keller Colts of that city. The pastime extended over ten innings. Dehmlow fanned 20 of the opposing batters. Gedge will make out your bonus, but you will have to see Bryant for your in- come Tax. You get something when you fill out a bonus, but they get it back later. Our bowling five dropped a match to the Wilmette Doctors last week, but the boys showed up pretty well and hope to get into great shape be- fore many more matches are con- cluded. . Lloyd Hollister has been missing at our meetings lately. Understand he has a new radio set which keeps him at home. We hope there will not be many other radio installations. ' "ABE" BELIEVED IN DREAMS The opening of "Abraham Lincoln" recalls that the martyr President was a believer in dreams and it is of record hat he was the subject of two dreams equally remarkable. After he went to the White House, Mr. Lincoln dreamed one night that he was on a big ship sailing away _in strange waters, he knew not whence or whither. The next morning good news came from the army. Many times there- afte Presid Lincoln had the same always followed by aeeam, and i was good news. Toward the close of the war the weary President had a terrible dream that up- set both Mrs. Lincoln and himself for several days. One night he seemed to be aroused from his sleep by the voices of many people in mourning and lamen- tation. The voices came from all sides as a choir invisible of woe, and he went out to inquire the cause. He descended the stairs to the east room and there, in the middle of it, stood a black catafalque upon which rested a corpse in grave clothes. The President asked of an at- tendant: "Who is dead in the White House?" "The President," replied the man. This is the last recorded dream of President Lincoln, and there is evidence that he accepted it as a premonition of the future. 'TENSION NO-TOBAC FANS George A. Billings, creator of the role of Abraham Lincoln in the First National picture of the same name, wondered for a long time whether the famous President used tobacco in any form or not. "* Mr. Billings' anxiety was set at rest when he met two men in Los Angeles who were able to assure him that Lin- coln never used tobacco in any, form --and this 'includes snuff--in a day when most people used snuff--and even many excellent women smoked pipes. These two men are Cornelius Cole, ex-United States Senator from Cali- fornia, who celebrated his one hun- dred and first birthday anniversary, September 17, 1923, and Dr. Gilbert Ellis Bailey of the University of Southern California. Senator Cole was an intimate friend and political associate of Lincoln for many years, while Dr. Bailey in his youth was a neighbor of Lincoln .in Springfield, and is an authority on Lincolniana by virtue of his deep re- search in the interest of the produc- tion of "Abraham Lincoln." Mrs. J. B. Coambs of Church road is convalescing at her home after an operation for appendicitis recently under- gone at the Evanston hospital.
