Newspaper â€"A Violation and a Protest Attention oL the readers of The Lake Shore News is directed to the facsimile reproduction below of news articles taken from the July 1 issue of The Lake Shore News, and verbatim copies of those news ar- ticles appearing in the July 9 issue of the North Shore Town Topics, an advertising pamphlet circulated in this vicinity. For many weeks and months the publishers of The Lake Shore News have submitted, without comment, to this systematic form of plagiary, but the issue of Town Topics of July 9 constitutes such obvious and de- liberate violation of newspaper eth- ics as to warrant a severe and publl protest. In the first and third columns of the facsimile reproduction are the news stories as they appeared in The Lake Shore News. In columns two and four are found the exact reproduction of the stories as print- ed in Town Topics. In fact, the July 9 issue of Town Topics is a veritable partial edition of the July 1 issue of The Lake Shore News, in so far as news is concerned._____ Excepting only a poem gleaned from the columns of another publica- tion, with proper credit given author cI and i ^publication, and three or four brief social items, one finding its source in Evanston, all the news in that issue is copied, word for word, from articles appearing in The Lake Shore News of the previous week. The Lake Shore News pays: an editor, assistants, and a society editor to gather and compose the news for its issues and feels that, by reason Of such-"purchased" ser- vices, it merits rightful and exclu- sive ownership of the product of that service, namely, the news ap- pearing in the issues of The Lake Shore News.

Dear Sir: There has been much discussion the last few years relative to instal- :,i linjar a more adequate lighting sys- tem in the Villa.ye. Some of our neighbors have, through the cour- tesy^ I understand, of the local authorities, installed a Mock of street lighting on Maple avenue, be-~ tween 4th and 5th streets. Tt seems to me that every citizen should see the lighting qfjhis block of an even- ing. . -. I think that such a system as we bave in this block should be genera4= ly Installed throughout the entire" village. It is not bright enough to be an annoyance either to those driving in the streets or to the resi- dents, but is adequate, and I think that if such a system were installed it would give Wilmette the position of being the best lighted suburb in and around Chicago. We are now sadly ^behind the times in this particular and ^ Rttyâ€" place ever needed a good lighting svstem, we surely do, oh account of the great amount of shrubbery and the narrowness of our streets. Very truly yours. Clarence H. Kavanagh. LATEST IN STEALING They steal spare tires and sundry other, accessories from our automo- bi'es. but whoever heard of wind- shield thieves, Mrs. H. J.
