Grau Tells Irish Club of the Necessity for Co-operation. ; The spirit of co-operation among the people of the United States was never so much needed as it is now, Phil. A Grau, of Wilmette, told mem- bers of the Irish Fellowship club at 'their weekly luncheon in the Hotel Sherman last Saturday.

This is a time when everybody must 'get together, because in unity there is strength."
