WEATHER OF WEEK
FAVORABLE TO FARM WORK

Springfield, Illinois, Sept. 1.-THE
weather the past week has been
generally dry and favorable both for
farm work and for maturing crops.
There was. however. good rain over
most of the state Friday night, the
effect of which was beneficial and
which interrupted farm work but lit
tie. During most of the week the
weather was cool. but the latter part
was warmer. On the mornings of the,
4th and 5th light frosts occurred III
various parts of the state, especially
i'm the northern district, but no dam
age resulted. Considerable blowing
and preparing ground for fall seeI-
ing has been done, and in n few
places some fields have been seeded.
Though generally the ground is in
good condition for seeding i'm some To-
calities it is hard and difficult to
pillow. 1t was brought into some
what better condition, however, by
the rain of Friday night. Threshing
has progressed rapidly during the
week, and in some localities is com
pleted. The yield of oats is general
ly fair to very good, but in many
places the quality is poor, being in
jured by rain while in shock. In
many localities. however, the injury
is much less than had been feare'l
would result from the rains. Though
the cool weather OF the week has
been unfavorable for the rapid adj
vancement of corn toward maturity,
other conditions have been very favor
able and the crop has generally made
| r.,
pondents report prospects of very
heavy yield. Continued improvement
in the crop appears to have taken
place in the southern district, though
there has been some injury by chinch
bugs. Considerable corn is already
safe from injury by frost, especially
in the southern part of the state,
and much of it has been put in shocG.
The bulk of the crop will be safe by
Sept. 18th to Goth, but in some locali-
ties it will not be safe until Oct. l..
Broom-corn harvest continues with a
generally good crop reported. Pas
lures are generally in excellent con-
dition, but they begin to need rain in
few localities. The crop of clover
seed is generally good, but in parts of
the central district the yield is light.
Many farmers are cutting good
second crop of hay. The crop of
cow peas is generally good. Gardens
are still doing well, and, potatoes are
turning out n large yield, though in
some localities they are still rotting
considerably, The apple prospects
have changed but little. The fruit is
generally of good quality. In some
localities the yield will be very large
and in others it will be very light
The amount of damage by bitter rot
appears to be diminishing. The yield
of other fruit varies from light to

one foe who ever haunted the damp and

rates of the pay of enginemen and
here the latter part of the week,
for they are almost ready for issuing.
The enginemen have friend in
| Superintendent Rice, who they the
not slow in approaching. 1t has been
| through him, largely, that both the
| advances for trainmen and engine
men have been brought about.
Master Mechanic X. w. COlville, as
head of the mechanical department of
the Galesburg division, has been in
strumental in furnishing many of the
facts needed by the officials in the
making of the increased schedule,
and through him the work has been
expedited. He has furnished many
suggestions that have been necessaIi-
ly helpful and beneficial. for they
have been tending toward the better
ment of the conditions previously eN-
listing.
Raise is Substantial.
While the sheets have not arrived
for distribution to the men announc-
ing their rate of increase. it is said
that the advance is splendid one
their pay, proportionate to the work
done.
The firemen will receive the weighty
end of the raise, and such is felt to be
their just due. They do the heavy
work of the trip so far as physical
eXertion, and while they have not
the responsibility of the engineer,
a good fireman must know his work
well.
The change goes into effect from
Sept. 1, as did that also of the train
men. The rules governing the men
under the changed conditions have
been received here, and summary
of them follows:
Enginemen will be paid on the trip
basis. due consideration being given
to the character of the service, length
of the run, terminal conditions and
time required ON the trip.

light" and all other engines weigh
ing more than 10000 pounds or less
than 100000 pounds will be classed

this figure classed as heavy"
Extra Passenger and Specials.
Enginemen during the past year of
their employment as such will be
classed as junior engineers and
junior firemen; after the first year
they will be classed as first rate engi-
neers and firemen.

ger trains or light engines between
points not covered by the regular
schedule will be paid as follows:
Full rate engineers, 80 cents per
mile.

Council"
Then followed general discussion
of police matters. Mr.. Mccoy brought
up the salary question and said that
he thought the salaries of policemen
should be regulated as follows: First
year, $50 d month; second year. $50
a month; third year $50 month.
Mr.. Prentice thought this was too
small salary to insure good service
and wanted the police started with II
salary of $50 month. This Mr.. Me-
Coy declared was too much and more
than Is paid in other places.
Mr. Taylor thought that policemen
should be paid good salaries and that
they should get raise of salary each
year until they reached an amount to
be agreed upon as the maximum
This would give them an incentive to
give good and faithful service" said
he. PAY the policemen good sal
ary and demand the best service.
Keep hot on their trail and If they
don't give good service. fire them"
Yes, fire EN-" echoed Prentice.
The matter was then put to n vote
and the Solicitor was authorized to
prepare an ordinance regulating the
Police department with stipulated sal
aries of $50, 500 and 60 month.

Mrs. Judge McAllister writes from 1917
West 33rd ST., Minneapolis, Mimi, as fol-
lows:
al suffered for years with pain In the
small of my back and right side. 1t in
terfered often with my domestic and
social duties and never supposed that
would be cured, as the DOCTORS medi-
cine did not seem TO help me any.
"Fortunately a member of our Order
advised me to try Peruna and gave it
such high praise that decided to try it.
Although started in with little faith, 1
felt so much better in week that felt
encouraged.

and am happy indeed to be able to say
that am entirely cured. Words fail to
express my gratitude. Perfect health

What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience that catarrhal diseases Of the
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases
Of female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar to women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not be
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruna has now
become the most famous remedy for
female disease ever known. Every
where the women are using 1t and prais-
ing it. Peruna is not palliative sim
ply; it cures by removing the cause OF
female disease.
DIR. Hartman has probably cured more
women Of female ailments than any
other living physician. He makes these
cures simply by using and recommend
ing Peruna.
