FRIDAY, MARCH 20, 1931 PAGI PITI MRS. T. WILSON PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY sCommunity Shocked; Was Teacher and Leader In Church Work South Side Breeses Mr. and Mrs. Herman Boeger and daughter, and Mr.

and Mrs. Walter Boeder were Sunday evening supper guests of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wasser. Mr.

and Mrs. C. A. Taylor moved Saturday from South Chestnut to 932 North Highland. Mrs.

Walter Lennartson acted as chauffeur Tuesday for several ladies who attended the semi-annual Missionary meeting at Lake Forest. The many friends of Mr. and Irs. Thomas H. Wilson, (514 North Chestnut Arlington Heights, were shocked beyond measure Monday morning to hear of her sudden and unexpected passing on about 9:30 at the Lutheran Memorial hospital in Chicago.

Following the birth of a daughter Saturday, the mother was apparently doing well, when suddenly she called to the nurse and complained of difficulty in breathing; the next instant she was gone. Stopjmge of circulation by a blood clot is believed to have been the immediate cause. Mrs. Wilson, first known in Arlington Heights as Miss Hilda Krumsiek, teacher in the school, was widely known and beloved. She was organist in the Methodist Episcopal church and was devoted to Christian service, as well as other beneficial community activities.

She was one of those persons who in any community can seemingly least be spared; and her loss is keenly felt. A funeral service was held Wednesday, March 18, at 2:30 at the First Methodist Episcopal church in Arlington Heights; the Rev. Samuel Taylor, pastor of the church, officiating; two solos were beautifully sung by Mrs. Stewart Alden, of the church, Mrs. Isabel Cuny Oefelein at the organ.

Mr. Taylor read Revelations direct from Mrs. own Bible, a gift from her mother when she was 18 years of age; this passage marked in her handwriting, as her favorite. He also read the passage on Faith (Hebrews 11) he had read to her upon her leaving.for the hospital. In his remarks he stressed Hob.

11:1 and also that verse from Revelations: that overcometh shall inherit all The sanctuary of the church was nearly filled. The floral tributes were especially beautiful. The Arlington Heights high Alan Hamilton of Harvey spent the week-end wtih the Mrs. Frank Sauer and Mrs. R.

II. Richards enjoyed a show in the City Monday. Mr. A. J.

Bold ken was out of town on business last week. Alderman Meyer Finds Solution for Water Shortage on Trip Tuesday evening, Mr. and Mrs. Hauer, Mr. and Mrs.

Sauer, Mr. and Mrs. Krahl and Mr. and Mrs. Ehret surprised Mr.

Skoog, the occasion was his birthday. The evening was spent in playing cards the results turned out to be sort of family affairs, Mr. and Mrs. Krahl winning first prize, Mr. and Mrs.

second and Mr. and Mrs. Ehret the booby. We know they had a good time. Who would not with such a jolly group.

Mrs. Fred Ehret entertained the 500 club Thursday. Hot luncheon was served at noon and the remainder of the afternoon cards were played. Mrs. Frank Sauer entertained on Wednesday afternoon at two tables of 500.

Mrs. Ehret, and Mrs. Richards won prizes. Mrs. Johnson was consoled.

The lunch was so good. We know, now, after eating those delicious doughnuts that Mrs. Ftesemann made, why her children always like to come home so often. Miss Mary Lucile Barrett went Monday to Addison, Michigan, to remain with her grandparents for r. while.

Hie Soutli Side club celebrated St. day with Mrs. Nelson Hauff, the usual game of 500 was played. Mrs. Behrel and Mrs.

Schuett were the lucky ones this time. Saturday, Mr. and Mrs. Thos. A.

i Pope attended the National Polo meet at the 124th Field Artillery Alderman William A. Meyer, accompanied by Fred Kaup and Herman Sehmuckel, returned Sunday night from a six weeks trip to Florida. He brought back with him a bottle of wef goods form the Fountain of Youth, which he says is worth more than any pure Scotch smuggled into this country. Will knows because after taking a drink from that fountain at St. Augustine.

he felt ten years younger. The alderman also found a solution for Arlington Heights water shortage. There is a spring at Ho- marana, Florida which discharges 70,000 gallons of water a minute. As he is retiring from the village board, he will leave the problem to his successors of getting some of that water to Arlington Heights. The party left Arlington Heights Feb.

0 and made Flora City their headquarters, although they spent ten days at St. Petersburg. On the trip down, they drove up Look Out Mountain in their own car. The sight of Stone mountain, at Atlanta, a huge mountain of granite, was prettier in the mind of Mr. Meyer, who is a mason by trade, than any building ever erected.

It is here that the carving of General Lee and other generals is being made. The outline figures are the size of a nine story building, but from the bottom appear to be comparatively small. From Flora City they made many side trips. He saw large quantities of fish and caught a lot of them himself, including sheephead, sea trout, black bass, mangle snappers, etc. On their way home, they went up the East coast, spent the second night in a colonial mansion in So.

Carolina, 115 years old, saw in- trenchments from the Civil war, passed thru Cumberland gap driving 150 miles thru the mountains and ate dinner at a tavern over a hundred years old. The latter part of the journey was via Lexington and Dayton.

After a fairly even first half, Niles Center began clicking and soon built up a safe lead that Des Plaines could not overtake.

In the second game of the evening, Geneva met Lombard, the former emerging victor by a score of 38 to 24. This as a great battle for three quarters at the end of which, Geneva held a two point lead. At this stage of the game, Captain Phillips. Lombard star guard was ejected on four fouls, and after her loss Lombard failed tc cope with the speedy Geneva offense and the ox River Valley entry soon put the game on ice.

This is in response a letter from the Illinois Municipal League, of which Arlington Heights is a member, reading as follows: Municipal Ownership Threatened House Bills 428 and 429, introduced by Representative P.

J. Breen of Metcalf, Illinois, are vicious bills from the standpoint of local control over utility matters, and municipal ownership. House bill 428 among other things, repeals Article I of the Illinois Commerce Commission Act enabling cities to vote themselves out from under jurisdiction of Illinois Commerce commission. House Bili 429 attempts to repeal the Municipal Ownership Act of 1913. If this repealer is passed, no city could in the future establish and operate a municipally owned utility service.

CALLS NEW MEETING To Discuss and Next Monday in Chicago To further discuss the base and surplus plan for the marketing ol milk, the Pure Milk association has sent out a call for a mass meeting to be held at the Auditorium hotel, Chicago, Monday, March 23, at which one representative frotn each each of the 167 local organizations in the Chicago milk shed will be in iittendance. During the past week, each of these local groups throughout the shed have had meetings discuss plans for working out this problem and to select a delegate to carry its plans to the Chicago conference. The dairy industry has lieen th most aggressive of all the agricultural industries in the movement to control production, by its adopting a and plan. This is in accordance with eral Farm admonition to the American agriculturalist that he must control production, that must conduct his industry like any other American industry, and that he must not flood his market with agricultural products that cannot be sold or for which there is no demand. The anil plan enables each dairv farmer to set his own goal so that he will then receive the top price on the milk produces within the limits he has established The association then bargains for the milk, known as milk, which the farmer has agreed to supply daily throughout the year.

In Baltimore, Maryland, this plan has been in successful operation for more than seventeen years and has been found very effective in bringing the largest financial returns to the dairy and Mrs. Krause Sr. who went to Texas are looking to their next trip there. Mr. Krause promised when he left Arlington Heights to write a story of his trip.

Returning home, he sought to evade that responsibility, but the editor would not let him and here it is. His story written as he saw the country without any newspaper carries the reader along with him until one can almost see those southern places and almost taste the fruit that he tells about. (Mrs. Krause and myself) left Jan. 19, in our car; it snowed and it was cold that morning.

We went by way oi the Mannheim road until we struck the Joliet road, and we soon were on our way on Route 66, going to Joliet and Bloomington. Here we had to change to Route 51. And from then on we went straight down south; we went through Decatur, Vandalia, Centralia, until we hit Duquoin. then we thaught it was about time to stop for over night; we had done very well for distance. Wc made miles the first day, but it was for getting into a little warmer climate, after this we did not make as much mileage, as we were in no hurry.

So we stayed over night and the next morning after, having a good rest, got started again. The sun was shining bright, and we crossed the Mississippi river at Cairo; for crossing, the charge was $1.40 toll. It was certainly a great sight; not only looking at the bridge, but also looking over this great river. And now we were in the state of Missouri. From now on we commenced to see more colored people, mules, cotton fields and southern ways of doing things.

Route 61 led us grad- to Memphis, where we stopped over night. Plantation Scenes Next morning we drove through part of the state of Mississippi and again crossed the river on a ferry at Greenville. Now we were in tne great State ol Arkansas; here we took special notice of the plantations where not so many years ago the planter had his slaves ho were kept in small huts and were bought and sold just like mules or horses. While w'e were driving along we talked aoout it how terrible it must have been for the poor negro and his family. Wc noticed negroes plowing with of mules to get the land ready for another crop of cotton.

Our third night we stopped at Hamburg (not Germany, but Ar- Kaiisas). it seemed very funny to me to find a city with that name. We had paved roads all the way from home to Memphis and a little stretch beyond; after that wc had good gravel roads up to Monroe, Louisiana; after this, pavement. 8arcvoport was the next big city. Cotton is the big product ol the sunouruling country.

Louisiana is toe state we were in now and soon Sabine river and wore in the big state of Texas. A bit rolling, but nico road jed us through a timber country; stopped at Tennyson and the next wo drove to great city oi Houston. Ocean going steamers are the making of this city. Wie stopped over at Edna, a small town, and then we got to Corpus Christi, right on the Gulf of Mexico, a great city with big ho- regular winter resort. We kept on going and got Edinburg; this is the first city in the valley of the Grande.

Here we stayed a week as we were now in the orange and grapefruit district; also vegetables of all kinds are raised here, three crops are raised here during the season; one crop was just right for the market, the time we arrived. Produce Prices Down We were told the prices of the vegetables were very per ton for new cabbage, where they had received as high at $110 per ton a year ago. Also and oranges wore plentiful; cents a pound was the price paid at the orchards. Visit the Way mans We visited Mr. Levi Wayman on his new little farm of 10 acres, witu ail fruit trees on it, and looking grand.

Levi put up a nice little home and garage, and he surely has a regular winter home in the sunny south. We spent several days witn him and also traveled the Valley from Mission to Point Isabel on the Guli. Also crossed the Rio Grande to dear old Mexico wnere you can see something. We were so of course, we had to take a driiix! It was a drink and ask any questions. Matamoros is the name oi the city ruled under the Mexican flag.

Anotner time we were over river at Roynosa; it was the same sight, just like a city that was built 300 years ago. We stayetl in the valley a month, visited McAllen, Weslaco, Harbin- gen and Brownsville. Sights at San Antonio Coming back, we took a different route, and the city of San Antonio was our next stopover. We for one week, we certainly had plenty of sigiit seeing from t.us point. The Sunken Garden, the park, the big army camps, Madina lake anti dam 37 miles from the city, are surely worth seeing; also the old relics, the mission houses, built by the tirst Spanish monks, who came over about 200 years It is said that San Antonio is the oldest city in Texas, the city was owned by Mexico at one time; the Spaniards and France fought for possession of it lhe Alamo 'lhc Alamo, a mission and fort at the same time, built by nmnks, is in the heart of the city, and is something interesting to see.

A good many old relics of swords, old guns, and old pictures, can be seen here. Ideal climate! Roses bloom the year gateway to Mexico. Strange Museum Also here is the Buekhom Curio store, it used to be a regular saloon; but today, you will find a regular heads and horns. In this place I saw something I never saw' finest deer heads and horns, the lonjr- est Texas steer horns, buffalo heads, elk, sheep all kimis ot cattle horns; one pair of steer horns 8 feet, 1 3-8 inches from tip to tip. stood ami just looked and wondered where this saloonkeeper got all the hottiS.

We told this collection was worth $75,000. After we saw all we thought was worth looking at, we left the city; and home-bound, we came to next big city of Austin; we did not stay but went onto Waco, Stayed night and traveled on, through the state of Texas. Cattle Country Changed This to be known as great cattle country, but today you see most of the land all under cui- rivation. We passed several birr ranches but their pastures were fenced, and we see the mostly Through Vrkansas We passed through Dallas, Sulphur Springs and Texarkana, crossed Red river, and were again in Arkansas. From Nashville to Hot Springs is a wonderful drive.

We went through and of blooming peach trees. Towanls Hot Springs we came into a verv rolling country; w'oods wind through the 1 hills up and ilown. The Hot Springs Hot Springs is a health resort, known for its mineral springs. Hot water conics out of the side of the rock, it is very healthful to and we certainly took advantage of it. The water is verv hot when it comes out of the rock, so we had to cool it a little first and then it felt very to An lady said to us, only come to drink this hot water; it always makes me feel so much and she drank all she could hold.

Hot Springs is a wonderful place between the hills, with ail the natural springs and parks and hotels, a great place for sick people. We stayed here a few had our car greased and homewards we went. Mv wife was getting a bit homesick and so we cut the story short. Little Rock, Marianna and back to Memphis and on until we lantled back in the old reliable town of ours, just after you had the wonderful snow storm and we surely were glad to see a little snow. enjoyed the trip very much and if our health will allow it we will make another trip again this summer.
