P5,000 MORTGAGE GIVEN Congregation Only Two Years Old Has Property Worth $27,500 With Small Indebted- ness. The large concourse of people who „emblt-d Sunday afternoon, May 25, "take part in the dedication of the Presbyterian church came together .ddently to help do things. No sooner bad Dr. John Timothy Stone, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian church oj Chicago, delivered his masterly ser- un the historic Presbyterian jurch than Dr. Edgar P. Hill, in a piost tactful way, stated the lmmedl- need of $4,585 and appealed for lofferings. The Woman's society, which had â- lready given |600 tos the building led off with a pledge of $500, Ifollowed by the Sunday school with [its pledge of $250. After this came he individual gifts, but a remarka- fact Is that no contribution by an [individual exceeded the sum of $200 ad that the most of the money was riven in amount* from $100 down fives and twos. It was truly a people's offering, and wflltng were they to give that in an hour more than the required ant had been subscribed. This itwritfiis congregation property $27,500, with a mortgaged in- debtedness, running for fire years or jleMj, of only $5,000. Membership Grow*, j membership is now 175 mem- and is increasing with every* nth, so that it will be an easy itter to pay off the mortgage in a years. The congregation joined iu»t heartily in singing the dedlca- hymn, which had been written [for the occasion by the pastor, and â- the doxology in view *of the happy [consummation of their building en- Iterprise. Besides the subscriptions and cash [offerings, grateful mention was made Jof the gift of the lot and the pipe â- organ and the two pianos. The organ 1 came from an unnamed friend [through two members of the congre- Igatlon. It Is a two manual organ [with tventy-two stops and all the [latest improvements. Mrs. Clara M.

WILMETTE TRUSTEES CONFER WITH'l HEADS Tedious Session of Village Officials arid Electric Line Officers Held Tuesday. Once again the village trustees of Wilmette locked horns with officials of the Northwestern Elevated Rail- road company in a special session ot the governing body of the north shore town Tuesday night. And the result "was nil. After hours of tedious argu- ment pro and con concerning the property rights of the "L" road in Wilmette, no action was taken on the proposition to grant a building permit to the company to erect a $12,000 sta- tion at Linden avenue. B. I. Budd, president of the North- western Elevated Railroad company; A. L. Oardner, general counsel, and J. E. Noe, general manager of the line, attended the session. Mr. Budd acted as spokesman and stated that the' railroad company merely wanted their rights in building a station in The wealth of J. Ogden Armour hat Wilmette. He maintained that the made possible that which practically original petition to the village trua- was Impossible. When the million- tees, only to grant a vacation of the aire packer started to build his vast alleys between Laurel and Linden Italian estate, Melody farm, in Lake avenues, was all that the company Forest, he found he had everything aBked.

How- ever, he contended that the only means of settlement would be to put the matter squarely up to the citi- zens of Wilmette because he was sure that the village trustees never could cotne to an understanding with the "L" officials. He decried the tac- tics which had been followed by the elevated road in forcing its way into the village. After considerable discussion, an executive session was suggested by Village President Couffer. A star chamber setting was then conducted, but when the members emerged near the wee hours Wednesday morning the "nothing doing" sign was dis- played.' T. R.

The hearts of the children of Olen- coe were made glad Friday afternoon when Seibel Bros.' dog and pony show exhibited in Olencoe. However, it looked for a time like the perform- ance might be stopped when an at- tache from the office of Barney Cohen, state factory Inspector ot Chicago, put in his appearance shortly after the parade to investigate a complaint which had been made that the circus men were employing children under age. According to E. C. Seibel, one of the proprietors of the small circus, the complaint was made by the prin- cipal of the Highland Park school, that the Seibels employed schoolchil- dren to lead their ponies In the par- ade. The little folk were eager to lead the small animals through the street and incidentally to get a pass to the performance. When an explanation was made to the factory inspector that no direct violation of the state law Was Intend- ed, no prosecution was made of the case and the show proceeded, much to the joy of the scores of Olencoe little ones.

(fturGIoiintry'sJflag The United States displays the Stars and Stripes, at the top of the flag staff, every day, be- tween sunrise and sunset, ex- cept when lowered to half mast ln honor of its dead. In stormy weather a small storm flag is used by the Army. When a storm flag is not available the flag should not be displayed in stormy weather. On "Memorial Day," May 30th, the Army flies the flag at half staff from sun- rise to midday, the Civil De- partments of the U. S. on their buildings, from sunrise to sun- set. School Houses display the flag on days specified by their Boards of Education. The U. S. flag is too sacred an object to be lonp in mournlnf?. It should never be displayed be- ~ tween sunset and sunrise. When the flag is taken down it should be folded neatly, and safely and honorably stored. If wet it should be carefully dried. "A flag torn by the shot and shell of battle in honorable ln Its rags, but one dilapidated through the carelessness or ne- glect of its owners is a pitiful and accusing sight." "The United States flag Is lot a mere cluster of brilliant col- ors; it Is the emblem of dignity, authority, power. In this free land there is no sovereign, no crown; our sole emblem of fidel- ity to spuntry is the nag." 1 jMwyigfr^sfegr^^i^^fl The Onwentsia club at Lake Forest will formally open what the directors expect to be the most successful year in the history of this nation-wide known club tomorrow and Saturday, when two events are to take place.
