Ji SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 19, 1921 Real News ~~ No matter what may have been' one's attitude of mind toward the advertising sections of the press, 'there is no question now of their news value. Nothing more eloquently points to the progress that the country is making back to ~ normal economical conditions than the advertisements in which are pres- ented opportunity for buying the 'materials that are essential to the daily life of the people, and at prices far below those which have prevailed ~ in the last two ' years and. more. Nothing speaks more convincingly of the determination of the American business man to accept the burden of loss which attends the readjust- ment to the new conditions of the peace time when these pages in the newspapers in which the new scale of prices is announced to the general public. ; People generally are beginning to take a new and active interest in the 'matter of the cost of the materials that they use. Those days of easy come, easy go money are past and realization of the folly that prompt- "ed the extravagant waste of the time of plenty is beginning to dawn. It is in this chastened mood that the public now lends its attention to the advertising sections of the newspaper, and reads, with an inter- est never before given the subject of home provisions, the news which the merchants are offering them from day to day. g The news of the day has not been completely acquired without that ~ which is to be found upon the pages in which the news of the stores is displayed. There Is No Peace The statement of Major General Wood that world peace has not yet been won is accepted as sound truth by the whole general public that has _ given any thought at all to world conditions. Nothing is more appar- ent than that there is not only no real peace in Europe, but that there is no real desire for peace without the advancement of the selfish in- terests of the several nations and groups that are giving vent to their dissatisfaction with the terms of the peace and the plan of settlement of disputéd territory by local disturb- ances and pressure intended to bring about a change of conditions. The absence of peace is not due primarily so much to the outcome of the war itself as to a disposition everywhere to revolt against things as they are. What it is, in the ma- jority of cases, objectionable to somebody and that somebody is un- ~ willing to submit his own preference to 'the general good. The habit of fighting has grown upon the whole world, sick as were the peoples en- ~ gaged in the war of the battle and 'the hardships of war. They are not able to settle down to the routine of peace, not able to accept anything but the whole of what they think they have gained by the war, forget- ful of the conflicting claims that "make entire satisfaction of every- 3 body a thing impossible to accom- plish. The high tension of the war period, 'the intense activity of the whole Ne population, the abnormal industrial conditions and the radical change 1 « these™:onditions have made in : ar £ < "Telephone Ev : mr » of a very great! number of people have bred a spirit of dissatisfaction, the settlement of which must be the first concern of the several nations if there is to be the world peace which we all are thinking we seek. Close attention to its own private affairs on the part of every nation, a policy of allowing others to manage theirs, and a will- ingness to compromise in those mat- ters in which there are conflicting claims will bring us through the period of unrest into the period of world peace, and nothing else will. -- » JANS-LAMKE MOTOR COMPANY SECURES HAYNES AGENCY HERE ~ The Jans-Lamke Motor company has contracted for distribution of the Haynes cars in the north shore ter- ritory and will maintain their sales and service station at 1013-17 Davis street, Evanston. Haynes patrons in Evanston and | who | throughout the north shore have already placed their stamp of approval on these high-grade cars of character will more highly appre- ciate and value the new commodious headquarters of the Haynes.' The Jans-Lamke Motor company extends to all users and lovers of fine motor cars a most cordial and hospitable invitation to visit their salesroom and to familiarize them- selves with the perfected mechanism of the perfected Haynes light sixes and twelves an achievement that has been made possible only by a successful record of twenty-eight years of automobile manufacturing. The Haynes is America's first car and the Haynes company always pre- sents the world's best values in mo- tor cars. The 1921 models in American-made | passenger automobiles incline to- ward low, strajght lines in deep set bodies with moderately sized wheels and high hoods. Colors are displayed in many different shades. : In spite of the fact that thousands | of automobile tourists from all over the world annually visit Switzerland, they are not permitted to enter the community of Grisons. The cantonal authorities of the Grisons ordained in 1910 that motor vehicles may not use the roads of the canton. i OTE: 615 Davis St., Evanston MATINEES 2 and 4 Evenings 7 and 9 Saturday February 19 ALICE JOYCE in 'COUSIN KATE" Pathe News Rolin Comedy NEXT WEEK Monday and Tuesday February 21 and 22 WANDA HAWLEY in "THE SNOB"' Wednesday February 23 ALICE CALHOUN in "PRINCESS JONES" Thursday and Friday February 24 and 25 CHARLES RAY in "Nineteenth and Phyllis" Saturday February 26 EARLE WILLIAMS in "DIAMONDS ADRIFT" COMING SOON Mary Pickford in 'The Love Light' and Charlie Chaplin in"The Kid" ROEMAR T.
