Burma's Sassmum Crop Over 500 different types of husked tice or paddy were under examina- tion last vear at one of the govern- ment agricultural farms in Burma. and over 200 types of sassamum were grown at another. Hitherto much of the sassamum grown in: Burma has been exported to Furope, where it is used for the production of the so- called "olive oil." for which France| and Italy have long heen famed.

Rare Visitors Recorded i The appearance of snowy owls, a| rare occurence, is reported. These | remarkably beautiful birds come] from the Artic regions. Only four ! previous visitations have been recorded in the ornithological history ! of the country: | F. A, call the next issue the "Fifth Liberty l.oan, Victory Issue," but Secretary Glass, after giving the matter due consideration, finally brought for the happy combination "Victory Liberty Loan." So "Victory Liberty Loan" it is, and it is believed that every worker will be inspired with renewed zeal to back it up to a victorious finish, and every consistent American pa- triot with the determination either to start saving of continue to save in order to acquire "Victory Liberty" bonds when they are offered next spring, and thus contribute to two patriotic ends, viz 1. Bring the victors home. 2. Finish the job. The honor flag of the Vivtory Lib- erty Loan will bear a blue "V" on a white field, surrounded by a read border, the "V" denoting both "five" i (Fifth Loan) and "victory." Employment for Soldiers The State Council of * Defense, (Woman's committee), is sending out the following information. In order to facilitate turning back soldiers and sailors into civil life with as little confusion as possible, the U. S. Employment service has established a bureau at 116 North Dearborn street, Chicago, for the purpose of finding employment for the returning soldiers and sailors. The State of Illinois has been divided into 21 employment districts. The securing of employment in each district is under the supervision of a central office. The location of these offices is as follows Alton, Bloomington, Centralia, De- catur, Elgin, Gdlesburg, Kankakee, Madison. Quincy, Rock Island, Wau- kegan, Aurora, Cairo. Danville, East St. Louis, Freeport, Joliet, La Salle. Peoria. Rockford, Springfield. Iivery woman can help with this work by calling the attention of her husband. brother, father or other male relative and {friends to these bureaus where they may obtain help for their office, factory, farm, or home. These bureaus present op- portunities for securing high-grade men at the present time, who have initiative and experience, and who are physically fit and full of en- thusiasm.

To- day he lies buried at Inor on the Meuse river, France, nearby where he fell in his last heroic flicht over the German lines. He is buried be- hind the Chateau, on a westerly hill- side, overlooking the river. "The Germans cannot last much longer," the young flyer predicted four days before foresaw the end, though he did not live to see the great day of victory. He fell within thé 'German: lines on November 10, meeting instant death. Lieutenant Bruch had been report- ed missing on November 10. The family waited and waited for official word. hoping that he might have es- caped or fallen into the hands of the enemy, uninjured. Tuesday came the" final word in a cablegram from Paris to the vising him of his son's death. Only three days before the Armist- ice was signed Lieutenant Bruch wrote his family that he sas prepar- ing for a dash into Germany. He was a member of the famous '91st U. S. Aero Squadron, that has a long list of victories to its credit. Lieutenant Bruch was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Louis Bruch, residents of Wilmette.

Michigamua." He was born in Chicago, August 5, 1893. He was a graduate of New Trier High school which he entered in the second year in 1910. He was president of his graduation class in 1912.

Lieutenant Bruch was admitted to jprastes in the United States courts after leaving Michigan University fand elected a member of the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity. Two younger brothers of Lieuten- ant Bruch were in the service of their country. Merritt Bruch attended an officers' artillery training school at Fortress Monroe, Virginia. Ralph R.

America's lack of just such a car as this was pointed out by a writer | in the automobile number of Collier's | recently. He was comparing | American and European types. Essex is an Luropean type. The car was developed two years | k ago, but America's entrance in the war prevented its production. In the intervening tryout ans is presented a thorough tryout and is presented this season as a finished automobile. Sherland will sell the Essex in ad- dition to the complete line of Hud- son super-sixes. In the Hudson cars he has returned to his old love. His sales of Hudsons up to one year ago were regarded as phenomenal. Last year he gave up the agency because of some misunderstanding. His re- turn to the Hudson has already been marked by a large number of sales. | BAPTIST PASTOR RETURNS TO PULPIT FEBRUARY 23 Reverend Francis C. Stifler, pastor of the church, will return to the pul- pit on Sunday, February 23, from Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he has been in charge of Y. M. C. A. work among the S. A. T. C. men at the University of Michigan. Reverend | J. Heinrichs has been supplying the pulpit during Reverend Stifler's ab- sence of 5 months, In spite of the fact that the church has been practically pastorless since | the pastor's enlistment in Y. M. C. A. work at the Great Lakes naval train- ing station early in the war, the at- tendance in the congregation and! Sunday school has steadily increased. | The Baptist church is the youngest | congregation in the Village. | PLAN COMMUNITY CHORUS AS LOCAL INSTITUTION | n ye + - . | The Wilmette Sunday Evening club is fostering a movement for a Community Chorus in Wilmette. The leadership of Professor Osbourne; McConathy, of the School of Music of Northwestern University, where he is in charge of the Department of Community Singing, has been se- cured and this feature will add help- ful instruction to the pleasure of the project. | This chorus will be used primarily | at the Sunday Evening club, but it] is planned to use it elsewhere at, 1 community affairs. Residents of the Village who enjoy singing have been invited to make themselves known to the committee | of the club in charge of the venture. Evening rehearsals are planned for the near future. Gold Once, Little Valued Reverend Dr. W. E..Griffith says | that it is historically true that in early Japan there were houses roof- ed with gold. For centuries, he says gold had' little' more value in' Japan than in South America when Balboa sought the Pacific. Even until 1839 gold was worth only four times as much as silver.
