In order to get better results in bringing the deserters to the proper officials, a reward has been offered by Provost Marshal Crowder. The communication reads as follows: Springfield, Ill, Oct. 1, 1917. | Robert Stoddard, Exemption Board No. 3. for your information and guidance: "No. 82. A reward of fifty dollars is payable for the delivery at the nearest army camp or post of a de- serter. This reward is in full satis- faction of all expenses incurred in said delivery. A person who fails to report to his local board for military service at the time specified in his order to report is a deserter. A per- son who fails to report for military service to the adjutant general of the state by the date specified in the order of the adjutant general to said persons is a deserter. It is highly de- sirable from every standpoint that an effort now be made to round up all persons who are delinquent in re- porting for military service. It is thought that if the fact of reward is given the widest publicity we shall have a great force of police officers and even of individuals interested in bringing such delinquents under mili- tary control. If," after such persons are brought to a military authority, it appears to the military authority that their delinquency is not wilful they will be forwarded to a mobiliza- tion camp and their local boards will be given credit. If it appears that the delinquency was wilful they will be prosecuted before court martial as deserters. In either case, the re- ward is payable. "Signed Crowder. "Dickson, Adjutant General" MONTHLY PAPER PRINTED FOR WINNETKA CHILDREN The faithful subscribers of the old School Record are to have a surprise in the form of a real newspapet, pub- lished by the Winnetka school ¢hil- dren, which will contain news 'of ing items. month, and will cost three cents a copy or fifteen cents for a yearly sub- scription.

'Search for Campbell After Trip in Plane Kenilworth Flyer Disappears While on Trip Over the Lines of the Germans on Western Front. Dispatches from Paris state that | every effort is being made by both army officials and his comrades in | the LaFayette escadrille to learn the fate of Corporal Andrew Courtney Campbell, Jr., of Kenilworth, who | LER Campbell, Jr. disappeared Monday while on a re- connoitering expedition in his air- craft. Young Campbell, escadrille in the summer of 1916, has Tong "been known as one of the or- ganization's most daring and skilled flyers. His deeds have won him hon- orable mention several times and one war medal. His expedition over the enemy lines on Monday was one of a series of reconnoitering trips which he has been making almost daily. g the Germans in the air since May 30, when he sent the first enemy's plane downward into its own lines. It was he who played against death when the dice were loaded, and won --a million chances to one against him. He was a mile above the earth. The left wing of his airplane broke off. He threw the control on the right side, volplaned, detaching the floating remnants of the broken wing, and descending slowly on the right wing, landed without injury. The least possible turn and he would have been dashed to death. For this Corporal Campbell re- ceived the Military Medal. Corporal Campbell has been mentioned in other dispatches. Paris dispatches yesterday stated that Campbell may be held as a prisoner by the Germans. A machine of the type he was flying was re- ported to have fallen down behind the German lines. A report from Geneva declares that papers claim an American aviator of the LaFayette escadrille has been '| captured. Attempts to find whether the prisoner could be Campbell have failed.

WINNETKA WOMAN TALKS TO AMATEUR GARDENERS Mrs. Charles W. Hubbard, 849 Fox- dale avenue, was one of the principal speakers at the convention of the Woman's National Farm and Garden association in Chicago yesterday morning. Mrs. Hubbard told the women of her success with intensive farming on a plot of ground only 50 by 100 feet, in Winnetka. She said she had raised so much spinach and corn that she would welcome an invitation to dine out to get something else to eat, and added that she had not bought a vegetable all summer. "I have put up fifteen quarts of to- matoes and forty-two quarts of string beans," she said. "Then I have thirty- two bushels of carrots and thirty-two bushels of beets and a cellar full of spinach. 1 "I literally planted one vegetable under another. I have been so suc- cessful that I think the Germans will never be starved out because they must understand this method of farming, too." Mrs. Hubbard told the women that they would have to expect to get their hands soiled in intensive farming and said that her garbage man once told her he would "hate to have her job because it was too dirty." The women attending the conven- tion visited the estate of Mrs. Ed- ward L. Glaser today in Glencoe. LIEUT. HAINES ARRANGES N. Y. TRIP FOR JACKIES Lieut. J. Allen Haines, now sta- tioned at the.
