Build a New Village Hall. : Enforce the Traffic Laws. Build the Truck Road GOOD-BYE Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home : Thou art not my friend, and I'm not thine. Long through thy weary crowd I roam ; A river-ark on the ocean brine, Long I've been tossed like the driven foam; But now, proud world! I'm going home. Good-bye to Flattery's fawning face; To Grandeur with his wise grimace; To upstart Wealth's averted eve; To supple Office, low and high ; To crowded hall, to court and street; To frozen hearts and hasting feet; To those who go, and those who come; Good-bye, proud world! I'm going home. I am going to my own hearth-stone, Bosomed in yon green hills alone, -- A secret nook in a pleasant land, Whose groves the frolic fairies planned ; Where arches green, the livelong day, Echo the blackbirds roundelay, And vulgar feet have never trod, 4 Pot that is sacred to thought ond od. O. when I am safe in my sylvan home, I tread on the pride of Greece and Rome; And when I am stretched beneath the pines, Where the evening star so holy shines, I laugh at the lore and the pride of man, At the sophist schools and the learned . clan; ror what are they all, in their high conceit, When man in the bush with God may meet? --EMERSON COMMUNITY SPIRIT The primary purpose of every village board, especially those ad- ministering the civic affairs of North Shore suburbs, is to fur- ther community spirit. Our vil- lage trustees aim not so much to govern as to conduct business to the advantage of all concerned. Their duty, as they see it, is to -serve without fear or favor. Sometimes it becomes neces- sary for them to prohibit practices thatare detrimental to the good of the village as a whole. For ex- ample, the drivers and owners of local delivery trucks have to be warned against exceeding the speed limit and against violating other sections of the auto ordi- nances. Owners of cars left un- lighted after dark or parked on the wrong side of the street must be advised of their neglect. But such cases as these of regulation or discipline are exceptional. At no time is it the intention of trustees or officers to cause an in- dividual undue hardships. If a cit- izen is arrested and fined, or given notice that he must clean up his premises so as to conform to sani- tary regulations he should not take the action as personal but as an enforcement of law and order. Help your representatives to further community spirit. BEAUTIFYING It's surprising what a change comes over a town when every- body's business is picking up. When things that have been left lying around by Tom, Dick and Harry are gathered up and put where they belong, by Harry, Tom and Dick. Matter out of place is dirt. Therefore, to clean up a town, restore to its rightful place all misplaced matter. Things out of place are a pile of tim cans, new or old, in a vacant lot; pieces of paper outside a container; scattered about; general rubbish anywhere except out of sight. Order is Heaven's first law. Therefore a godly town will be also a good-looking town. More- over it will be a healthful town. Help to beautify your home town by beautifying your own property and the vacant lots in your neighborhood. SUMMER SCHOOL Last year 520 in New Trier's 1924 summer school. More than 300 already registered for the 1925 summer school with a very probable 600 at the date of open- ing. Is further evidence needed that summer schooling is popular and useful on the north shore? The long summer vacation when grammars and arithmetics accumulated dust on the shelves from June to September has gone into the past along with the golden days of chivalry. There was a time when after commence- ment, school doors remained closed until September. But nowadays the janitor, after dis- posing of the graduation flowers, cleans the blackboards for the summer classes. The new regime brings profits to both teacher and pupil. Te the teacher it brings added income, enabling him or her to see an ex- tra show or two, or to buy a fall suit or dress, as the case may be. To the pupil it brings enough more credits to shorten his gram- mar or high school course ma- terially. Or it helps him to make up for a failure or remove a con- dition. Sometimes ambitious students go to summer school when they ought really to go to the country or seashore and loaf. But such individuals are glaring excep- tions. The average July-August school-goer benefits by the extra term. THE HOME MERCHANT The home merchant. Who is he? He is the chap who gives you credit when you are financially broke, and carries your account until you are able to pay. He is the chap who gives you back your money or makes ex- changes when you are not satis- fied with what you have bought. He is the chap who meets you at the door with a handshake, and lets you out with a message to the "kids" and a real "come again, goodby." He is the chap whose clerks live in the home town and spend their money with you and other local people. He is the chap who helps sup- port our churches and charitable organizations and talks for your home town and boosts for it every day in the year. He is the chap who visits you when you are sick, sends flowers to your family when you die, and follows your body out among the trees and tombs, as far as human feet may travel with the dead. He is the home merchant--your neighbor--your friend-- your helper in time of need. Don't you think you ought to trade with him, and be his friend and his helper in the time of his need? Don't you know that every dol- lar you send out of our town for merchandise is sent to strangers --to men who never spend a dol- lar here? You don't save much, frequently nothing, when you send your money out of town. And don't you know that the growth and prosperity of this town depends very largely upon the success and prosperity of the home merchant? Out of town people judge our town by the ap- pearance of our stores and the de- gree of enterprise shown by our merchants. And our home mer- chants cannot succeed unless home folks give them loyal sup- port. --From the Community Builder. Some people are great talkers. They tell you just what they would do if they were asked to do fsomething. But if the truth were known they would be in time of real need as brisk as a bee in a boxes, wooden or pasteboard, tar-pot. THIS AND THAT Until We Find a Title THE OLD TIN BUCKET (Written in loving memory of the pass- ing of ye ole copy bucket at our office) How dear to my heart are the scenes of my labors, As fond recollection presents them to view! The alarm clock, the proof sheets, the desks of my neighbors, And even Mike's puns that made us all blue. * But chief of all things in our sanctum sanctorum There returns to my fancy a battered tin pail; The stories we wrote, to the printers it bore 'em, As it shot through the floor with a shriek and a wail. From proof-room to print-shop it dropped with a racket, "Twas slung on a rope full of slivers and woe. From us up above it full many a packet In it has gone down to the press-room below. The old bucket, The bunged-up tin bucket that dropped through the floor. tin bucket, the wicked tin --YRrs TruLy. *Note--Mike is the nickname for our editor--(Ye ED)--his last name is Weber--hence our col. word Weberism--meaning an aggravated pun. "Go to the Bee, Thou Sluggard" Sir: Anent recent observations of mine respecting the present economic psy- chology of honey bees, I beg to report | as follows; despite numerous deleteri- ous comments on the go-getterism deemed characteristic of the American spirit, my researches indicate that the trait is atavistic in its nature, and is not a new phase of mental evolution. Monkeys of the non-human species being rare in Wilmette, my research has been somewhat handicapped, but the insecta furnish evidence that go- getterism is present in the present de- cendents of an even more remote an- cestor of man than the anthrapoid ape. The data, proving go-getterism exists among bees follows: Farly spring; honey-bearing blos- soms rare; big spring appetite among bees; hence: bee digging in ground, observed on Wilmette avenue; finds buried bud of blossom, opens it, gets honey. Conclusions: go-getterism. --DEE ProruNbDIs. AH YES! OUR SWEETHEART HAS LET HER'S GROW OUT TOO! T. R. C., Discriminator of Beauteous Damsels, How could one compete in the 'Bobbed beauty' Contest, one who clings to her trailing tresses? Lissen-- Barba', bob not my mop! Clip not a single hair! "Twas always on top, So now, just leave it there. If cut you must, well--say, Just clip two Bits or so From off my bill, today. But, bob my hair? Ooo, NO! I say, just leave my thatch, Do not--now, go and spoil My splendid, curly patch, With your tonsorial toil! A herpicide will do-- Rub in an egg--er, NO, Let's have a quick shampoo, But let my curls just so. --Dor1s L. It just so happens Doris, that we like bobbed hair--it tickles us-- some- times! But we also have a soft spot in our heart for the old-fashioned and unusual maidens who choose to wear their tresses long and natural. We hate to see them left out of any beauty contest, so we have decided to have a contest all our own for the most beautiful long haired maiden on the North Shore! And as a reward, think of it girls! the conductor of this col. will give an autographed photograph of himself to the beautiful long haired beauty who wins the contest! "IS ZAT SO?"

It's come gt last! And it's got us! As we sit here at our machine, looking out at the N. I. hi school maidens drifting homeward along Central avenue, and basking in the warm sunshine, our mind wanders far afield, and we see idle visions of spring flowers, mossy dells--and gee- gosh--spring fever is awful! ------ p-- Some people seem to think they must wear ugly shoes if they want comfortable shoes We find so many women who believe they must wear ugly looking shoes to obtain foot comfort that we hasten to assure them this is not so.
