oe Ll gird §S oe WINNETKA WEE Nearly Everybody In Winnetka Reads The KLY TALK VOL. VIII, NO.-6. WINNETKA, ILLINOIS, FRIDAY, APRII . 25, 1919 TEN PAGES PRICE FIVE CENTS SCHOOLS TO GET VICTORY HELMETS Winnetka Woman's Club and Com- munity House Also To Receive War Prizes From Loan Winners AN ATTRACTIVE INTEREST H. A. de Windt Shows What 4 3-4 Percent Rate Means and How the Bankers Like It By H. A. de Windt (Chairman, Winnetka Loan Com- mittee.) Fight German helmets had been allotted to Winnetka as prizes for good work accomplished during the Victory Loan drive in securing sub- scriptions for the bonds. The elaborate plan of giving credits for this work proposed by the Victory Loan committee in Chicago would take so much time to keep account of the details of 125 block captains, that a simpler plan: is proposed whereby each of the eight helmets will be awarded to the eight dist- ricts that show the largest percent- age of increase proportionately over the results of each district for the Fourth Liberty loan. Then the dist- rict making the best showing will be entitled, through its district cap- tain, to choose to which of the fol- lowing eight Winnetka organizations her district wishes to present the helmets such district has won by ef- ficient work in the Victory Loan drive. The district showing up next will have the second choice and so on all through the eight successful districts. A letter will accompany each helmet stating the circumstanc- es under which it was won and the desire of the district to place the prize in a place of safe-keeping so that coming generations may know of what was done in Winnetka in the year 1919. The Village organiza- tions selected to be recipients are as follows: The Winnetka Woman's club, Community House, The Public Library, New Trier High school, Horace Mann school, Sacred Heart school, Samuel Sewall . Greeley school, Skokie school. This plan is so much simpler and practical that it hoped it will meet with general approval. Four and three-quarters per cent a year is pretty good interest par- ticularly when you know the securi- ty behind the loan is the United States government: Four and three-quarters per cent is such an attractive rate of interest that the Detroit Savings banks sub- scribed for $40,000000 worth of the Victory Liberty loan 4 year notes just as a business proposition. The Secretary of the Treasury, however, is not going to allow the big fellows to gobble up these 4 3-4 per cent Victory Loan notes, for he has is . distinctly stated that he reserves the right to reduce any subscription over $10,000. 43% INTEREST DR.
