Last week a prosperous-looking indi- 

 vidual touched two local florists for 

 sums aggregating $125. In one place he 

 represented himself as Philip Breit- 

 meyer's brother-in-law and gave a check 

 on a bank at Flint, Mich., which subse- 

 quently came back marked "No ac- 

 count." At the other place he claimed 

 to be Mr. Breitmeycr himself and, no 

 one present knowing the difference, bor- 

 rowed all the cash in the register. 



Acting on the advice of his physician, 

 W. J. Smyth changed his vacation plans 

 almost on the eve of departure for the 

 Yellowstone by automobile. The doctor 

 said Mr. Smyth's blood pressure was 

 too high to make such a trip advisable 

 and sent him, instead, to the quiet of 

 the Smyth summer home at Lake Ma- 

 rie, Antioch, 111. The western tour 

 may be made later.

John P. Eisch says that last week was

 and Mrs. Eisch celebrated their silver 

 wedding anniversary and June 14 their 

 eldest daughter, Marie, became the wife 



of Eaymond O'Donnell, of Detroit. 

 There were large gatherings of friends 

 for each event. 



Champ Weiland, greenhouse manager 

 of the Weiland-Eisch Co., has been crit- 

 ically ill at St. Francis hospital, Evans- 

 ton. An intestinal operation has, ap- 

 parently, saved his life, as he is better 

 now.
