There has been no set amount an- nounced for which Winnetka is to be held responsible in the safe of the sec- ond series of Liberty Bonds, but there may be later and it is the part of wis- dom to prepare against that possi- bility by the purchase of the bonds here at home in these early days of the drive. An active campaign has already been opened in Chicago to which many of our men who do business in the city may be tempted to contribute. But it is urged that these make what purchases they are expecting to make through our Winnetka organizat that they may be counted in our quota if we are given a set amount to raise. If we are to be counted in the Chicago district, whatever is sold here will be credited to Chicago; if we are not, it is right that the subscriptions of Winnetka people should be credited to Winnetka, In these early days we cannot tell which system will be followed. To be on the safe side, Winnetka men and women who are purchasing the bonds should make it a point to buy them in Winnetka, that Winnetka banks may be relieved of the later burden if it should be decided to hold Winnetka responsible for an assigned quota in bond sales. kk kk Woman Farmers. Woman farmers are asking the gov- ernment to draft labor for the rais- are to feed ourselves and our allies There some threat of refusal to for the duration of the war. is even plant grain unless the government will guarantee a sufficient force of men to attend the fields during the process of the planting and harvest. Naturally the departure of so many young men for military and naval service has depleted the supply of farm workers, just as it has these in other branches of industry, and the work is such as cannot well be done by women, even could women be found in sufficient numbers willing to take upon themselves the heavy labor of the harvest field. The farmers of the United States have been always the first concern Whatever curries favor with the rural popula- of the governing circles. tion is almost certain to gain the ear of legislators, for are not the farmers all possessed of votes, and, by reason of proachable in any other way for the their isolated position, unap- purpose of the vote seeker? Since the question of regulation of the sale of food materials has been agitated the farmer has been foremor* in the minds of those who have had to go on record as favoring such a meas- ure, partly because the incentive of a higher-than-usual price for farm products seems to be necessary to encourage a planting on an increased scale, and partly to protect the farm- er against the operation of specula- tors who would advantage thelnselves by the abnormal conditions to reap a profit for the essentials of the food materials by setting a price for the consumer far in access of what the producer is able to secure. Wartime brings with it the neces- sity for sacrifice. The homes from which men are going are making the great sacrifice, next to that of the men themselves who are undertaking months, perhaps years, of great hard- ship, great danger, perhaps wounds to incapacitate them for future use- fulness, even death. Those who are left at home to uphold the nation's part in the war should not falter at any sacrifice of interest, at any de- mand upon time and strength. Every industry must suffer, both financially and in the stress laid upon those upon whose shoulders the work of the de- parted men must fall. But men and women should endure hardship and stress gallantly and courageously, strong in the sense that in so doing they are helping those men who have crossed the seas, and those who are soon to cross, to win the war which they are fighting. This is no time for any group of citizens, or for indi- viduals, to sit idly by refusing to do their part because certain accessories which they need or wish are not im- mediately at hand. The lady-farmers may rest assured that every effort will be made by the government not to allow a foot of land to lie idle if it is capable of pro- ducing food for ourselves and our allies. But just at this time, it is hardly to be expected that the gov- should be statements that whatever is sought by the tiller of the soil shall be forth- ernment issuing sworn coming. It is a poor patriotism which will not stand up under the strain of the present conditions, a poor spirit- ed landholder who will not announce himself, or herself, as determined to make the land under his or her con- trol yield its utmost of the materials most needed for the successful prose- cution of the war. portant, (Continued from page one) COMMISSION GIVES R. R. RIGHT TO ADVANCE FARE ination of a substantial part of the value of the Libertyville branch, the local lines in Waukegan ,the Zion City station (which cost in the neigh- borhood of $22,000) and the 4-track bridges between Waukegan and the State Line. (e) A reduction in the overhead and working capital claimed by the company, and the elimination of any going value. (f) The exclusion of a large sum for certain non-operating property, consisting of grading, old rails, etc., not now used by the company. 2. That engineering during con- struction should be depreciated to the same extent as the article of which engineering cost forms a part. 3. That ballast and sub-ballast should be depreciated in accordance with their physical condition. 4. That only accounts properly ex- pended for franchise should be in- cluded in the value of. the property and the burden of proving such ex- penditure rest squarely upon peti- tioner. The petitioner claimed large speculative franchise values. 5. That Central street, Evanston, be designated as a separate station and that fares to and from it be com- puted as from othe rplaces. The com- pany claimed the right to make fares to Evanston upon the basi sof the mileage to Church street. This the municipalities contended was unfair and in obtaining recognition for Cen- tral street a reduction of five cénts will be procured from a number of points. 6. That cash fares collected by trainmen from passengers boarding trains at stations where tickets can- not be procured shall be the same as ticket fares to the place of destina- tion. 7. That no fare within the corpo- rate limits of any municipality shall exceed five cents. 8. That fifty ride commutation tickets shall be sold to school chil- dren on a basis of one cent per mile, with a minimum of $1.50 for fifty rides. 9. Other concessions were obtained with reference to twenty-five ride tickets, baggage charges and other matters which are collectively im- but which space does not permit of enumerating. The commission finds that the rates which the company has heretofore been charging would give to it a re- turn on this year's business of 4.25 N ULL 2 7 777000 077 N EXCHANGE -- Winnetka homes or vacant for Wil- mette, Kenilworth, Evanston or Chicago homes or vacant.

These rates have been in- creased to a figure which it is esti- mated will produce for the company 5.61 per cent upon the fair value of its properties. There has been quite a large increase in revenue this year over previous years, owing to the es- tablishment of the Fort Sheridan and Great Lakes Training camps, so that a rate of return of 5.61 per cent does not seem to us to be unreasonable. The commission has retained juris- diction of the case for the purpose of examining at a later date the af- fect upon the income of the increased patronage from the Fort Sheridan (Continued on page tour) Painters & Decorators J.
