WENTE 874 Center St., Hubbard Woods WOMEN TIDE DEPRESSION Agricultural economic depression has driven farm women into a thrift move- ment which is manifesting the most amazing results from good manage- ment. Recently at the annual meeting of the State Home Bureau in Peoria, a number of farmers' wives told of taking in from $1,000 to $2,000 per year, in addition to the regular farm income, through co-operative marketing pro- jects. Results no less favorable can be produced by extending the same type of management over into the field of health. | CONTRIBUTES TO FUND The Crystal Lake Country club. | through its secretary, Elmer D. Becker, [519 Linden avenue, last week sent a | check for $219 to the camp at Algon- J guin to be added to the fund for chil- dren at the camp next summer. This | club has always been an enthusiastic supporter of the camp. 10% higher in moh ioher in ily cost , Grae, Over and above the sterling worth of » make this Six a better and a longer-lived the Hupmobile chassis, Hupmobile now gives a heaping measure of features that refine and embellish the performance of its Six. You will note new beauty of line and fin- ish; clear vision bodies of graceful and staunch design; rich mohair upholstery; all instruments grouped indirectly lighted; manifold and thermo- static heat control; solid walnut steering wheel; tilting beam under glass and car. Owners know the difference in smooth running, in freedom from repairs and adjustments. Hupmobile accepts the burden of this extra cost. You pay no more for the bril- liance and stamina of the Hupmobile Six than for cars of a less vigorous mold. Compare itsvaluewithany six within $500 of its price. You will find no reason for paying more and you will not willingly accept less -- know- headlights and a score of other fea- tures of luxury and utility. But Hupmobile value goes deeper than equipment.

Action "Not Justified" "3. The proposed park would be pri- marily for the purpose of protecting neighboring residential property from a business development considered undesir- able by some. The fact has been evident for years that this unzoned "No Man's Land" was open to and tending towards business development and prohibitive land values. The residents in the neighboring communities have purchased, owned and improved their properties with knowl- edge of this danger and without action to protect themselves. Such business develop- ment has now proceeded to a point where establishment of the proposed park would require condemnation, payment for and destruction of expensive buildings. The undersigned feel that the neighboring property owners are not justified in asking relief at a heavy expense to all of the taxpayers of the entire township. The project is primarily for a local benefit and if carried out should be paid for largely by local special assessments. Other parts of the township are faced with their own problems and expenses of a similar character." Similar petitions were in evidence in Wilmette, Kenilworth and Glencoe this week. "ON APPROVAL" At the Erlanger theater the second week of the limited enagement of "On Approval" is announced. This Charles Dillingham production of the annual Frederick Lonsdale comedy hit has won the approval from the general public and the Chicago press during the past week. Mr. Lonsdale's vogue in London and New York is un- equaled and his recent success in New York, 'Chicago, Philadelphia and Eng- land would seem to justify the im- pression that his latest play will prob- ably enjoy equal popularity with "The Late Mrs. Cheyney," now having such a successful run at the Blackstone theater. The new play follows the Lonsdale tradition closely in dealing with the smart upper-crust English so- ciety types who live in such neighbor- hoods as Bedford Square, Berkeley Square and Park Lane. These society people also have a shooting box in Scotland. Thus we have in Mr. Lons- dale's new play a typical home of that society in ILoondon which is vaguely called "Mayfair," with the succeeding two acts showing a typical resort in Scotland where the same smart people spend a few weeks shooting grouse and making love to each other. Edward Riddle, 127 Bertling lane, Winnetka, was home for a few days last week after finishing his mid- semester examinations at the Univer= sity of Illinois. --0-- The Kenilworth Home and Garden club met at the home of Mrs. Rufus K.
