ELEVATlNG MORAL STANDARD
Task of Recognizing State Militia
Still in Progress.

After undergoing a thorough inspec-
ton and examination the state militia
is now undergoing a rigid reorganiza-
ton so far as the rank and file is con-
cerned.
Adjt. Gen. Scott and the general
staff are engaged in the work of eleva-
ting the moral standard of the ranks.
AS a basis of action a thorough in
spection of the entire guard was or
dered. Two state officers and two Off
GERS from the regular army were as
signed to the task. The army officers
gave their attention more particularly
to the discipline and general physical
condition.
The state officers spent their time
inquiring into the standing of the men
and officers at home. A state officer
and regular officer travelled together.
Their work has been completed and
their reports turned in.
During the progress of the inspec-
ton overhauling began and it is still
IN order. The hope is that the guard
in camp this summer will be an en-.
tirely different body of men.

FARM HELP IS sCARCER
Conditions in West Said to Be Stead
lily Growing Worse.

The wall of the farmer is again
heard in the land because of the dearth
of help TO work his acres. The condi-
tions have grown worse every year for
several years past. and there is no
Improvement in sight this spring. The
condition is not local, but the same
problem meets the Kansas, Dakota
and Iowa farmer as those in Illinois.
Formerly the farmers in the southern
part of Illinois had less difficulty in
getting help than their northern fell
lows. for Kentucky furnished many
workers who came north in sufficient
number to supply the demand. Last
year there was a shortage, however.
and the papers from the south and
central part of the state at present
agree that the prospects this year are
worse than last.

CoLORED MAN TO THE FORE
Protects Hen Roosts Against White
Thieves at Dixon.

The colored man is surely coming to
the front in Illinois. Down at Peoria
the other day a corOner's jury cOmpos
ed entirely of blacks sat on a
case Investigating the death of negro
boy. This is believe to have been
the first case of the kind on record in
this state More unique still is a case
reported in Dixon. There one Ephraim
Smith, worthy citizen of color raises
chickens, and his hen roosts have
actually been despoiled by white
thieves. Mr.. Smith himself took a
couple of shots at a palefaced intruder
the other night and eventually rounded
him up just outside the poultry yard
and handed him over TO justice.
