October 20, 1928 WINNETKA TALK 29. SPREADING SUNSHINE M. J.'S. HAPPIEST TASK (Continued from page 28) Well, I wouldn't say he was much of a singer. He couldn't sing as a Quaker and he couldn't sing as a Methodist. But, be lieve me, he tried and no one could stop him." The big wish of his father's life, "young" Milton says, was to live to see the end of slavery. And he got that wish and died happily. Started as Teacher After a common school education, Mil- ton Timberlake became a school teacher. He taught at Bellefontaine and got $40 a month, which was the first money he ever earned. Then came the Civil war. With the country torn by conflict be- tween the North and South he and a brother, John, joined the army. When the war came to an end in 1866 they re- turned home. He did not go back to teaching. He married a cousin of his aunt at Lafayette, Ind. The next few years found him in the grain business and for fourteen years he stuck to it. While selling grain there came an opportunity to come to Chicago. That's how it happens that he is now in this section of the country. The years that followed were un- eventful until he moved to the north shore. At present he is living with a daughter in Highland Park. But Wil- mette, Kenilworth, Glencoe and Winnetka know him just as well as do the High- land Parkers. "I'm a great grandfather," he says proudly. Then he goes on to tell about his brother John. "John was in the manufacturing busi- ness in Jackson, Mich., until a few years ago. John was talking to me one day several years ago and said, 'Well, Milt, I'm 76 years old mow and I guess it's time to start saving some money for a rainy day." It wasn't long after that that John was forced to retire from busi- ness because of poor health."

Canadian '== Pacific Ye let into a little secret. Here it is. Milton J. Timberlake, the young man of 86, who just has to be doing something, is the same man who has been at your door smiling and seeking subscriptions for WiLmer™E Lire, WINNETKA TALK, and GreEnxcoe News. He's been on the job ior several years and expects to be at it for several more years. "It's getting a little tougher all the time," says Timberlake in talking about the subscription bupiness. "You see, pretty nearly everybody in my territory take the papers. But I keep an eye on the people who are moving in and after I talk with them they are subscribers." But taking subscriptions isn't much of a task for Timberlake; it's fun. His ex- periences, as he relates them, are inter- esting and often humorous. "Lots of times if I happen to call at a home around lunch time I'm invited in to have lunch," he remarked. "Often the women folks ask me in to have tea. But perhaps the funniest thing happen- ed one day when I called at a house in Wilmette. Afer I rang several times the housewife came to the door, scowling mad. 'You've had some sort of mis- fortune this morning, and I'm sorry, but it will come out all right," I told her. "She looked at me a few seconds, then, instead of the scowl there was a smile on her face. She invited me to lunch and we talked about the paper and she signed a subscription blank. "And finally she said: 'Yes, 1 did have a misfortune this morning. The stove- pipe fell down'." Last winter Mr. Timberlake went to Florida for the colder months. But he didn't like it. "Nothing to do there," he said. "I've got to keep busy and so I was glad to get back to the north shore." Milton J. doesn't smoke and never has because, as he says, "I never learned." No drinking either, for the same reason. "I get my kick out of living and there's enough in it for me," he re- Reach Semi-Final Round in New Trier Net Doubles The double matches in the New Trier Fall Tennis tournament have ad- vanced to the semi-final round. Hil- ton and Redhead, seniors from Mr. Walton's advisor room, will meet Mr. Jackson's junior team, Cohn and Morris. The match is sure to be a tight one as both teams have won their previous sets easily and the win- ning pair will be pretty certain to win the school championship. The other semi-final tilt will be between Mr. Nay's freshmen, Prouty and Ray, and Mr. Buckingham's juniors, Kelley and Ludwig. marked as he set out to find out about a new family he'd heard had moved into his territory.

JARANOWSKI Republican Candidate for RECORDER OF DEEDS Election, Tuesday, Nov. 6, 1928 Polls open from 6 A. M. to 4 P. M. A business man for a business office has been the slogan of many a political campaign, but, in the case of John W. Jaranowski, it is more than a slogan. It is an accom- plished fact. He has risen up from the ranks, earning his bread by the toil of his hands and by the sweat of his brow, to be an employer of as high as 8,000 men and women at one time. Those thou- sands of men and women who owe their livelihood to him can testify that suc- cess has not turned his head, but he has remained the personal friend of each, just as each one of them has a strong personal friendship for him. His experience in business life has given him mature judgment, and his success has been due to that ripe ex- perience, to his unquestioned integrity, his real ability, and to his tried and proved efficiency. He has not needed and does not need public office for his own per- sonal gain. The only public offices that he has ever held, those of High- way Commissioner, Mayor of Calu- met City, and County Commissioner, have been filled by him with the sole view of service for his community. How well he has succeeded is shown by the love and respect that the peo- ple of his community bear him. : The office of Recorder of Deeds is paying to the people of Cook County a profit in earned fees of over $400,000 a year. The people of Cook County cannot afford to change their profit into a liability and increase their taxes. This annual profit means a de- crease of general taxes. A decrease in taxes means lower rents. Vote for John W. Jaranowski, Republican Candidate for Recorder of Deeds, and insure to yourselves that decrease in taxes and rents.
