"Wholesalers and large druggists in the United States are organizing for the manufacture of drag products formerly made by cheap labor In Ger- many," sold Charles Fuller, an officer of a large Chicago wholesale bouse.

Teske, president or the New Trier Commercial association, and William Wehrstedt of Wlnnetka, one of the directors, attended a meeting of the Evanston Commercial associa- tion last Thursday. Following the ad- dress, by H. N. Tolles on "Co-opera- turn Between Business Interest," Pres- ident Colwell of the Evanston associa- tion called upon President Teske for a talk. President Teske, among other things, made a few remarks about the New Trier association. He said: '"The buslnese men of tho north shore are beginning to realise the ^NpeSts to be derived from co-opera- tion. This subject baa been my hobby for five years. Recently we moved headquarters from Wllmette to Win* netka. We are now In a central loca- tion In our territory, A movement la afoot to Increase our membership to one hundred men."

As shown on the ac- companying map, the route lies to the east of the railroad tracks and* avoids unimproved portions or Sheri- dan road. This, without doubt, gives the best route through Evanston snd Wllmette and It Is suggested that au- tomobillsts dip the map and preserve It for reference. Last year the section between car tracks Oh Sherman avenue waa paved and this year the city concreted the remaining portion of that street. Much progress has been made to- ward Improving Sheridan road In sev- eral of the north shore euburbs. The village of Wlnnetka has passed an ordinance for laying a thirty-one-foot reinforced concrete pavement on this road from the south limits of Wlnnet- ka to North avenue. Highland Park has two miles of concrete pavement on Sheridan road, and Kenllworth. Wlnnetka and Wllmette .are prepar- ing plans for Improving this thorough- fare. The following paragraphs from ' "A great boulevard along the west- ern shore of Lake Michigan extend- ing north from Chicago haa been a dream for a quarter of a century. Building great highways had almost become one of the lost arts of the an- cients, when the invention of the bi- cycle, and later that of the automo- bile, turned men's minds to cross- country trips and to a realisation of the difficulties of travel. aChlcagoans who want to go northwardlaloTTgs^lie lake see that Sheridan road, the must direct road, Is, at present, a most unpleasant dream. This might be the Riviera of the West, but is at the present time a frightful nightmare, owing solely to neglect and Indiffer- ence. "But as its designers planned It, and, as Its present advocates now hope to make it, Sheridan road will be a dream of beautiful Chicago. It Is more than Chicago beautiful; for since 1889 men have hoped to stretch this boulevard along the bluffs and through the ** ravines of the north â- hore, connecting ultimately Chicago with Milwaukee."

For a long time this progressive firm Of play pro- ducers have had In mind the theme of the police, not the usual -figure made known in fiction of the present day, but the true man of the force, admitted by earnest students of the subject to be the finest representative of American manhood. W# have heard a great deal of the crook In these later days; this gen tleman haa been exploited In maga sine and novel fiction always with a halo about him, but where is tbe story telling of the lone man who walks his beat night after night, with only his stern sense of duty to bear him company?

Early Sunday morning, John Alston, a teamster, says that he was held up In the alley on Benson avenue, south of Church street. So he says, three young men pushed him into the alley and relieved him of $4. Late last night. Miss Olive Wall- stein, who Uvea in Lake Bluff, but works in Wlnnetka, had her purse snatched while she was on her way to the Milwaukee Electric station. A man slipped up behind her and took the purse, which contained $1.50 in money and a book of Electric railroad tickets between Evanston and Wln- netka. She was so surprised, and the man got away so quickly, that she could not give any description to tho police. i FORD BUYS LAND IN LAKE COUNiX Unconfirmed Report That He Has Bought 200 Acres Near Libertyville. ening Euclid avenue, In King's subdi vision, near, tbe Wlnnetka line.

In the board of trustees meeting the session began at a late hour, end noth- ing of a specially exciting or exhilarat- ing character transpired. Two mem- boa were absent,/so that there was a bare quorum. Alter recaption of re- ports, of which there were none ex- cept the regular monthlies, the chair- man began the monthly struggle, with tbe finances, and tips August bills were audited and approved for payment. Convergence of events made some of the culms unusually large, so that the total payments ordered were Just a Utile below $7,200. Of this $1,260 was for engineers' Work on special assess- ments on which work is in progress; $2,470 of It was for payment to Wln- netka for the quarter's water supply; $869 was for material for street work, a large part of it doubtless being used In connection with tbe resurfacing of streets with tarvla and gravel, and street labor cost, $487.20. These items foot $5,086; deducting which, the or- dinary expense bills for the month ap- pear to be about $8,100. Chairman McLeish reported good progress In the matter of installing the special street lights for the bus! ness district He suggested, and was authorised to' mafce a contract "from year to year" for the maintenance of these lights. ' Cut th(Q Useless Shrubs. The matter of superfluous shrubbery In the parkways, came up again, and came to a head. Mr. McLeish, who has a way of going to the root of mat- ters when he takes hold, had a list of twenty-five places where shrubbery ought to be removed, and under a mo- tion made by him, the village man- ager was invested with authority to cut out the growth at street Intersec- tions and to trljrn trees Which obscure the view or obstruct the sidewalks. The opinion of tho board in this mat- ter was like a.jug handle, nem. con., as the old parliamentarians used to say when It was all one way. Chairman Smith repoted the annual tax-levy ordinance and it was passed. It foots up this jxar just about forty thousand dollars. Why Pheasant Is Valued. The renown of the pheasant as » game bird Is due to Its skill In hid- ing itself on the ground, the fine shots that It offers when driven from cover, and tbe opportunities It affords to the fine art of cookery. By Rev. Roy Edwin Bowers. The goal of life is union with God In spirit and in work. But we are naturally lazy; we seldom, make" any strong moral effort until we are forced to. The prophet declares; "There is none that stirreth up him- self to take hold on thee." Since we will, not stir ourselves up, Providence most do It for us; for ex- ample, by personal trials or by na- tional danger. The moods snd tenses of the "teen- age" are the upsetting Influences that lead such multitudes into the religious life at that period; they are stirred up by their "growing-pains'* to lay* hold on God. Older people come face to face with business disaster, sick' ness, and threatened bereavement Then they take hold on God, "and are astonished at the power that is given them to overcome every ill. .The new discovery la of a very ancient reality, but they had never possessed It be- fore because they had hover been stirred up to toy hold on the truth. God does not throw the best things at us; it Is when we are stirred up to seek them with all our hearts that we find them; the inertia of habit and custom has to be overcome first; our sensibilities need to be quickened and our horizons broken out into the realms of the universal and divine. A nation, too, may have this experi- ence, like an Individual. So-called Christian nations hove been profess- ing Christian principles without really holding them. Suddenly they have found themselves swept far asunder and far out of reach of the Christian morality they had always talked about The consequence Is that the church Is compelled to ac- knowledge Its entire failure as a na- tional force, it has to admit .that It has been busy with organization and has not held on to Its true and only finance and with building up denom- ination, seeking selfish prestige, and reason for existenceâ€"to be tbe serv- ant of the kingdom. Now we see that tbe only salvation from the hor- rors of war and hate is in actually living the things we have professed. To do this we must take bold on God. When we do so we begin to possess what Jesus had, the universal mind, the all-embracing love, the world-wide purpose that will make us not neu- tral, but super-neutral, human; riot unpatriotic, but supra-patriotic, claim- ing as our own brothers the men of every tribe and nation. â-  It has taken the convulsions of a world-war to stir us up to this; but even that will have paid if as a result we actually do lay hold on God and find out for our- selves that In Him every human tieed Is satisfied and every social chasm is bridged over. But if these tremendous days do not convert us, we would despair of our torpor being stirred, even though one rose from the dead. It Is high time that we awake out of our sleep, for the age to come is calling us; the age not of nationalism, but of human- ity; the imperialism not of this peo- ple or that, but of the Kingdom of Divine Love.
