Mister Inx was pretty well swamped with mail for the ad contest this week, but after it all arrived there was no doubt in his mind about which ad the women of Winnetka liked best. It was the ad of the North Shore Gas company, and it was the choice of a comfortable majority of the fair readers of the paper. Mrs. Clara Foster, 556 Chestnut street, wrote Mister Inx what was judged to be the best letter concerning this ad, and she was awarded the prize of $10 which is given each week to some Winnetka woman who writes him the best letter regarding the advertisement appearing in the WINNETKA TALK which is the choice of the majority of women in the vil- lage. This contest has stimulated much in- terest since its beginning a few weeks ago. It was started from the remark of a Winnetka merchant that women of Winnetka didn't know a good advertise- ment when they saw one. The publishers of WINNETKA TaLk did not agree with this viewpoint and conceived the idea of having an ad contest and offer- ing prizes for the best letter about the advertisement of a local business estab- lishment appearing in the paper. Give Prompt Response The response from the women was in- stantaneous and quickly proved that they did know good ads when they saw them, and that they were not slow in telling why they liked them, once they had the opportunity. Many a local business man awoke to the fact that he had been over- looking something when he saw the ex- cellence of the letters written, and found the knowledge of advertising displayed by the women in their letters. Mrs. Foster liked the ad of the gas company because it gave a solution for an everpresent problem of the house- wife. It also appealed to the thrifty (and most women are thrifty) and thus further held her interest. Of course it was not only ad which the women selected as being a good ex- ample of the craft. Other letters were loud in their praises of the Winnetka Trust and Savings bank ad, and that of Herbst's Gift shop and Victor J. Killian, Inc, and many others. If the women never read the ads before they certainly are reading them now, but Mister Inx be- lieves that they are not reading HT - more than they ever did, but are merely ; expressing an interest which they have always inwardly maintained. Set No Restrictions Remember that the only rules for this contest are that you must be a women, must write a letter not more than 100 words long to Mister Inx, and that an ad connot win twice in succession. Why not enter the contest? That $10 might come in handy for pin money or for a pet charity. North Shore Boys to See Selves in Movies A number of north shore boys will see themselves in the movies for the first time Tuesday morning, March 17, when the Adventure Island camp film is shown at the Skokie school Assembly. The picture, which has never been shown in public, deals with life on Ad- venture Island and the cruise to that wonderland of boyhood made last sum- mer by Charles A. Kinney and a group of north shore youngsters. ~ Elmer Sipple, in charge of shopwork at the Skokie school, is the star in a number of the scenes, supported by some 30 campers, the skipper, councilor staff, cook, Adventure, the camp cat, and Knight, the camp dog. PAY TRIBUTE T0 CHURCH WORKER Christ Church Lauds Service of Mrs. Bishop The death recently of Mrs. Hanna Brown Bishop, religious education di- rector in Christ church this week brought forth the accompanying tribute in the form of a resolution adopted at the Vestry meeting in the parish: Whereas: Almighty God in His infinite wisdom has taken from us in the passing of Mrs. Hannah Brown Bishop a most devoted Christian wom- an, whose consecrated efforts as di- rector of religious education of Christ church, Winnetka, brought to hundreds of Winnetka children, who loved her, the unmeasurable benefits of early spiritual training. Her en- thusiasm for righteousness and the highest ideals was unfailing; and her kindness of heart and gentleness won for her the affection of all who knew her. Now therefore, Be it Resolved :--that we, the ves- try of Christ Church Parish, Win- netka, do hereby express our deep- est appreciation of Mrs. Bishop's fine character and of her self-sacrificing devotion to her work, and we offer our sincerest sympathy to her be- reaved family in their loss, which is shared by many in this community. The Vestry of Christ church. Eprror's Note: Mrs. Bishop, long a resident of Winnetka, died February 20, 1925, at the age of sixty-one. She was a recognized leader in Sunday school organization and was nationally known for the success she achieved in this field both in Winnetka and Chicago.

BAND T0 GIVE CONCERT Proceeds to Take Band to State Tourney New Trier's band will give the sec- ond concert of the season in the audi- torium of the high school Saturday evening, March 21. All friends of the school are urged to be present, as a large audience will furnish encourage- ment for the members of the band. The proceeds of this concert will be used to defray the expenses of the band when it participates in the state band contest to be held at Champaign April 25. Last year the band, under the leader- ship of J. C. Schumacher, won the second prize at the state band con- test which was held at Joliet. The Joliet high school band won the first prize, but as they will not be playing on their own "home grounds" this year New Trier is confident of topping them, as New Trier is accustomed to playing away from its headquarters. In the program there will be in- cluded the contest numbers which the band will play at the state band con- test. The overtures from "Martha" and "Fra Diavolo" will interest those who love classical music. There will be a great variety of numbers: seren- ades, marches, overtures, ballets and others. Those who heard the concert last November will welcome the band's sec- ond appearance.
