Whit of Wilmette's Shade Trees? Investigation by representatives of a- wilmette Improvement associa- ton f«vea' that the beautiful shade trees of the village are being attack- id by killing insects and scale. Im- mediate steps must be taken, these investigators declare, to spray every tree in the village, and the associ- ation seeks the co-operation of every resident in a united effort to clean out the pests and save the trees. The accompanying statement, pub- lished at the request of the Improve- ment association, was formulated at a meeting of the association this week. '••The beautiful shac.e trees for which Wilmette is widely known, are being attacked by Cottony Maple Scale --and Tussock Moth Caterpillar in great numbers. Some sections are considerably mure affected than others, but__even $0, it behooves everyone interested in the welfare of Wilmette to back to the limit the spraying program initiated by the Wilmette Improvement association. Many of our trees are already damaged to such a nextent as to create a great deal of dead wood, which of necessity must be trimmed out in order that the trees may maintain their original beauty. "Never before in the last twenty years has there been such ideal weather for the dcve1opmcnl__of_in *ects. and this applies particularly to the Tussock Moth and Cottony Ma- ple Scale, "The warm atmosphere with high humidity makes multiplication very rapid, and therefore a corresponding- ly great damage is done. Quick and drastic action and constant vigilance is necessary to the well being of all trees. W. 1. A. Investigates SK0K1E PLAYFIELD S SITE FOR N. T.

Mysterious Shot Kills Local Boy In Kansas William Ralph McGinley Dies in Wichita Hospital the Result of Fatal Bullet Wound "The Wilmette Improvement asso- ciation has thoroughly investigated the subject and feels that our resi- ents and property owners should be better informed regarding these in- sects. jn "The Cottony Maple Scale, (Pul- vanaria. Tnumerabilis) is easily recog- nized by the large white cottony egg- sacks which are posterior to the brown female body, fastened to the bark. Each of these sacks contain a great number of very small cream colored eggs, which if allowed to hatch will greatly increase the numr her of these obnoxious pests. It de- rives its name from these cottony egK-^icks as well as its affinity for Maple trees, which offtimes are com- -pletely destroyed within several years of successive attacks.^ "The only remedy known is Kero- sim Emulsion, sprayed on the trees under strong pressure. This emul- sion is a mixture of Kerosine, Whale Oil Snap and a small quantity of Car- bolic Acid; poured into a vat of boil- ing water, which must be^kept agi- tated during the process. In spray- ing, ureat care must be taken, that the solution is not too strong, or it will burn the foliage of the trees and the yrrass and shrubs surrounding them with which it may come in con- tart The usual proportion is one gall on of concentrated Emulsion .to twenty gallons of water. It is also that the entire tree be William Ralph McGinley. 15 vear old son of Mr. and Mrs. William McGinlev of 761 Michigan avenue, was buried at Memorial Park Mon- day following funeral services at the liome_ at 3 o'clock in the _afternoon._ The McGinlev youth was the vic- tim of a bullet wound Fridav night.

A .22 calibre bullet, fired from a myster- ious source, entered his right leg six inches below the hip where it cut a one inch gan in the femural artery, then ranged upward and lodged near the spinal column after penetrating the bowels. ;--â- - â€"Wichita poller arrented Ernest Arms, young McGinley's companion, on a tcchinal charge of vagrancy and released the youth on bail for appearance pending further investig- ation of the mysterious shooting. Yountr McGinlev died- Friday night at Wichita hospital. The remains were brought to Wilmette. accom- panied by C. L. Henderson, vice president and general manager of the Sterling Oil and Refining Conv pan v. in whose office the youth was employed. Young McGinley attended school in Evanston and later in a military academy. He had been working in Wichita for several months. Again comes the appeal from the Village Hall for general observance ofâ€"the "Sprinkler" ordinance which provides that all lawn sprinklers be shut off when the fire alarms are sounded so that sufficient water may be obtained when emergency re- quires. :____ "Some day it may be your home that is burning", warns village man- ager Schultz. "When you hear the alarm, shut off your sprinklers", is the warning to every householder in Wilmette. The official order from the Village follows: TO ATT WATFP rOVSUMKRS TN TWT?

That question in the affirmative, answered in last week's issue of The Lake Shore News by Dwight Chapman, chairman of the Church Advertising committee of the Wilmette Church Union, and the Rev. Francis Carr Stiflcr, pastor of the Wilmette Bap- tist church, is again answered with a "Yes" by the Rev. Herman Meyer, pastor of St. John's Lutheran church, Linden and Prairie avenues. Church advertising pays so well, in the opinion of Mr. Meyer, that "my church is determined to contin- ue * an advertisement in. The Lake Shore News through the summer months." "Advertising the church in summer is equally, perhaps more important, than the"publicity work in the win- ter months. Our church services continue uninterruptedly through the summer season and it is our determ- ination to hold the interest of the members at this time as well as dur- ing the cooler seasons of the year."
