MONEY RAISED THROUGH SALE
OF SOUVENIRS.
Kane County, H., Federation OF Wom-
ems Clubs Has Novel Plan Of
Preserving Historic Feat
ures of Highways.

Ausora, Ill.-The most novel means
to build a public highway in Illinois
has been taken by the Kane County
Federation of Women's clubs. Re-
Gently not less than 900 silver spoons,
valued at 81 each have been sold to
improve and to preserve certain his
toric features of the roadway lying
along the Fox river from Aurora as
far north as Elgin and Carpentersville.
The Kane county women have been
working on this project for over a
year, but 1t has only been within the
last few weeks that they hit on the
novel plan of raising the money with
which to carry out their plans which
people.
| The work of preserving landmarks
and beautifying lands abutting on the
roadways was commenced in the fall
of 1905. when they interested the
farmers to the extent of inducing them
to keep their weeds cut down. Then
the women engaged a landscape man
and drove him over the route, the re-
suit of which was that he drew up
Gil CiabOiatc pidu " tbldD-
lish and maintain one of the most at
tractive driveways in the state.
After this came the project of rails
ing the money. Rich men, automobile
owners. drivers of blooded stock, were
appealed to, but subscriptions came
few and far between. During the
most of the last summer there was
nothing done that led the women
workers to hope for the consumma-
ton of the project.
Then one of the Aurora women
broached the project. She suggested
that the fund be started by selling
silver spoons of a special design.
Then the women workers got their
heads together in working out de-
sign. At the start it was determined
that a leading feature in the design
| should be good likeness of old Chief
| Shabbona, who thousands of times
had passed over the trail now marked
by the roadway sought to be improv-
ed. The name of Shabbona is an hon
ored one in Illinois. To the white
| settler of pioneer days Shabbona was
a friend indeed. History recites that
he saved settlements from massacre

himself to the white people that they
