 ling Co., spent June 2 fishing »• at St.

The State Bank of Oak Park, of

 ceeded expectations. 



Peter Eeinberg is rapidly completing 

 his replanting at the lose ranges. 



If you don't consider automobiling as

 Wietor's tan. 



May averaged 6 degrees a day cooler 

 than in 1911, but 7 degrees warmer than 

 in 1910. The hours of sunshine aver- 

 aged ten per day, which is sixty-nine 

 per cent of the possible. 



T. T. Clark has been added to the 

 bookkeeping department at E. H.

"It is remarkable in these days, when 

 the extra wide houses are being advo- 

 coted, to note the success of the so- 

 called short roof houses, especially in 

 the vegetable line, by parties who have 

 tried them out for years already, ' ' says 

 Carl Ickes, of the A. Dietsch Co., which 

 concern is the originator of this style 

 of houses. Mr. Ickes took a trip east 

 a few days ago and booked several 

 orders, a total of twenty-five such 

 houses, with an aggregate length of 10,- 

 350 feet, which if built in a line is a 

 stretch of almost two miles, with over 

 165,000 square feet of ulass. 



Henry Van Gelder, manager for Percy 

 •Tones, has been sick during the last 

 week, but continues to keep on the job. 



Otto Frese, of Poehlmann Bros. Co., 

 says that he has never known the time 

 when cattleyas were so plentiful and of 

 such high quality as at present. "Usu- 

 ally when there are so many the grade 

 is not so good, but this year they are in 

 fine shape," he says. 



Mr. and Mrs. O. P. Bassett, formerly 

 of Hinsdale and now of Pasadena, Cal., 

 arrived in Chicago Memorial day for a 

 visit and after a few days will leave 

 for Long Beach, Cal., where they plan 

 to spend the summer. Mr. Bassett has 

 many praises for the Golden State.
