[This is not the hour i or the ornate rase of oratory, but for the few words, simple and sincere language which heart speaks when it is deeply moved. :re is more eloquence in the silent rf of America, standing with bared id along the right of. way from the Iden Gate to the Capitol-â€"a living mue of sorrowâ€"than can be in any 'ech that may be made today. llWarren Gamaliel Harding, the twenty- th President of the United States, s born in the little village of Cor- ^, Ohio, on the second day of Novem- , fifty-eight years ago. In later years village was renamed Blooming Grove, lit for him it. remained Corsica to the 'mi. He was the sixth of Ohio's native i ns to become President; he was the H ird of the six to reach the end of life's % lil before his term of-service had ex- | red. Presidents Garfield and McKin- !kr fell at the hands of assassins. Pres- ent Harding no less surely gave his [e'in the service of the people. "He came to birth in a little frame piuse with three rooms. His father, II en struggling to' establish himself as II country-side , physician, and teaching tool to help make both ends meet, li d built the house with his own hands.

The day will be given over to the re- newal of acquaintance among the mem- bers of the Schaefer "clan," one of the largest families in this section of the country, counting several households in Wilmette, Evanston, Gross Point, Chi- cago and contiguous territory. There are to be games and contests in variety, including a baseball game in which the married men will be pitted against the bachelors. The idea for the Schaefer reunion was fostered by the Oak Leaves club, an organization of women members of the family.

With the arrest of the ring leader of a gang that is said to have kept north shore police busy for a period of years, police departments in this vicinity are anticipating the end of an epidemic of hold-ups and robberies that has periodically, broken out in Evanston, Wilmette, Kenilworth, Win- netka and Glencoe everv winter. The alledged leader, Wilbur Moore, a resident of Evanston, was arrested fate last week with Charles May after warrants had been sworn out by the Westmoreland Country club charging golf balls, valued at $1,500, from the club's quarters. The two men were, apprehended by the Milwaukee police and returned to Evanston Sunday. Warrants for their arrest were sworn out before Magistrate Boyer of the Evanston police court. Special in Golf Articles Police believe that Moore and May are responsible for more than a score of thefts recently reported along the north shore. Most of the loot obtain- ed by the men has been athletic equip- ment, a greater part of which was the property of the Exmoor Country club and the Westmoreland Country club. Moore has a police record in each of the^oxtkishor e towns. -In Winnet« ka, Wilmette and Evanston he was thought to have been connected with depredations last'winter. In all previ- ous instances of arrest, however, he has managed to evade conviction. If Moore is convicted on 4he Country club charge it is thought that it will mean thfe 'demoralization of the gang, and that, combined with the disperser merit of the notorious "Honey Sul- livan crowd, it will leave the north shore towns in comparative security. Inasmuch as there are no other new charges against Moore, Westmore- land club warrant is the only one on which he will be held. III.

Arrangements have bee!h made by a committee of the Commercial as- sociation to have a match between the North Shore and Glencoe Gun clubs as one of the attractions of the afternoon. Plans have been made for contests among individuals of the clubs and others interested in trao shooting. _With this - information m handiOne To Hold 'Lights* Hearing At County Court Monday A public hearing on the special assess- ment levies against Wilmette property for the new street lighting project will be held Monday at the County court, Chicago. According to present indications there will be little or no objection to the amounts assessed. Some Wilmette citi- zens will, however, attend the proceed- ings to see that everything is done ac- cording to form. A question as to the amounts levied on lots of seemingly the -same size was answered by the commissioner last week. Under a new law the commissioner, in making the assessments took into ac- count the area of lots instead of the frontage. Thus a lot with a frontage of SO feet and a depth of 200 feet would be given a higher mark than another lot with the same frontage but with less depth. . will not be obliged to give ear to the inevitable question: "What's all the shootin' fer?" Kenilworth People Vote to Annex Old Golf Course At m> general election held Tuesday of this week the Village of Kenilworth voted to annex the •remaining 25 acres in the southwest half of the old North Shore Golf club grounds. The vote stood 242 for, 26 against, and 8 defec- tive votes, making a total of 276 ballots cast...
