Winnetka has within its boundaries an organization that has been pro- moted for the general welfare and good of the community and especially for the purpose of relieving those who may suffer through undue misfortune or circumstances.

It is the aim of the directors to secure the necessary funds, as nearly as possible, by a level tax. To this end the so- ciety earnestly hopes that every citi- zen will subscribe, no matter how small the amount. Should Share Responsibility. The budget of the year beginning October, 1916, in addition to the ap- propriation by the council for this work, is approximately $2,400. Early in November the society sent out 1,000 letters of appeal resulting in the re- ceipt of 229 subscriptions. Old sub- scribers who have not responded, and many new ones, are urged to assit in a wider distribution of this' com- munity responsibility. _ The aims of the Winnetka Relief and Aid society, which your dollar, added to the dollar of your neighbor, will guarantee the realization of, are essentially as follows: Aims of Organization. 1. That no one in the village shall, through misfortune, suffer undue hard- ship. A case of need reported to a director of. the society, or to Miss Garretson (phone 934), will be in- vestigated and cared for. 9. That every sick person shall re- ceive (freely if necessary) the service of a highly qualified visiting nurse. 3.

Would Deceminate Unwelcome Spring Visitors By Using Larvae for Food --Cost of Experiment Nominal. To have fish control of mosquitoes in the Skokie marsh it is necessary to introduce and establish certain kinds of fish, such as top-minnows, which use mosquito larvae as food. Those varieties must be selected which would seem to be most capable of adapting themselves to conditions present in the marsh, and they should be brought, therefore, from the near- est locality in which they are natural- ly found. To devour the enormous numbers of mosquito larvae which may be breeding at any one time in -| the marsh, the fish should multiply rapidly and be present in great num- bers or they will be of little import- ance as a control factor. Plan Werth Trying Out. keeping the ditches open and acces- sible. Benefits Obtained Apparent. The possibilities of success in this work depend upon so many factors that the results absolutely cannot be predicted. It is an experiment which must be tried before its value can be known. If other control work were being undertaken, its very little addi- tional cost should not stand in the way of its final trial. Should it be successful, the benefits to be obtained by a natural automatic control of mosquitoes without man's interven- tion are too apparent. In the next article, a summary of all work thus far suggested will be outlined. WOULD SEE SON JOIN NAVY Winnetka Mother Appeals to Chicago Recruiting Officer to Induce Boy to Become United States Tar. The wail, "I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier," finds no echo in the strong heart of a Winnetka mother who called recently on Lieutenant L. M. Stevens at the recruiting station in Chicago. "My son is backward about enlist- That such mosquito destroying fish are not now numerous in the Skokie marsh, if present at all, is apparent since the mosquitoes seem to breed unhindered. Whether or not the na- tural conditions in the marsh are such that they could be successfully established can be determined only with an actual attempt to do so. The information could be obtained in no other way. The introduction process is simple enough in itself, but before the fish are brought to the marsh, pro- visions must be made for their nfainte- nance throughout the dry seasons. Fish Commissioners Assist. A number of small reservoirs, about five feet square and two or three feet deep, should be dug and connected S| up with the main ditch system so that the fish can retire into them when r very little additional expense. the water elsewhere becomes low. The cost of this work would be very small e| and the work of introducing the fish d| could very likely be done with the assistance of both the State and | United States Fish Commissions with After that there would be little further work necessary other than observations and | ing in the navy, although I want him to," she explained.
