purpose except as a temporary relief 

 from the housing shortage, so ho also

 The death of Augustus H. Goodwin, 

 vice-president of the W. W. Barnard 

 Co., which occurred Saturday, April 16, 

 is reported in the obituary column in 

 this issue. 



The biggest wind in the history of 

 Chicago, lasting practically a day and 

 two nights, April 15 and 16, seems to 

 have done little damage in greenhouses. 

 A few lights of glass were broken, but 

 the i^rincipal loss thus far reported was 

 in the coal and labor necessary to main- 

 tain greenhouse temperatures against a 

 60-mile cold wind. The retailers lost 

 heavily in patronage; nobody was out 

 to buy. The newspapers made a wide- 

 ly disseminated story of the woman 

 ' ' blown through the window of a Mich- 

 igan avenue flower shop." The inci- 

 dent occurred at the store of Kreitling 

 & Co., 77 East Van Buren street, where 

 a small pane, not over two feet wide, 

 beside the door, was broken. 



Doris Weiland, 3-year-old daughter of 

 John Weiland, Evanston florist, was 

 killed April 19 in front of her home. 

 1516 Greenwood boulevard, when she 

 was struck by an automobile. Little 

 Doris had gone out on the lawn of the 

 "Weiland residence to play. She went 

 into the roadway and the heavy car ran 

 her down. The driver, a negro em- 

 ployed by John C. Shaffer, newspaper 

 publisher, was held by the police. 



August F. Poehlmann was reelected, 

 for the 'steenth time, April 19, as 

 president of the village of Morton 

 Grove. On the same day Albert Lies, 

 well known rose grower, was elected 

 a trustee of the village of Niles Center.

William Snyders, representing the 

 supply department of Poehlmann Bros. 

 Co.. has started for the Pacific coast 

 with a large line of samples compactly 

 stowed in a big Cole touring car. 



P. C. Schupp manages to preserve his 

 good nature and urbanity in spite of 

 two vigorous boils which have deco- 

 rated his jaw for several days. 



H. B. Kennicott is on his way home 

 from Florida, driving his car. He ex- 

 pects to devote a fortnight or more to
