Problem For Farmers.

The assessed valuation of all the
property of the State of Illinois, is
250,000,000, of which less than
$500, 100000 is farm property.
Cook County pays more than forty
per cent of all State taxes.
If Illinois should follow the lead OF
New York and Pennsylvania, and pay
one-half the cost of road building out
of general tax levies the farmers
would get by far the better end of
the bargain. If this State should fol.
low the New York plan of issuing
bonds, and provide, say $4,000, 900.
to be spent on highways within ten
years, it would add about $4,000
miles of hard roads to the 1900 miles
now built. This would leave one.
third of all the States highways per-
manently improved.
To raise $50,000,000 in ten years,
at the rate of $5,O00,000 year, one.
half to be paid by the State and tho
other half by local bond issues would
require State tax levy of two mills.
This tax on each farm would be ex-
actly 81 per year, or $40 for the ten.
year period. In other words. farm
would pay only $40 into the tax fund
while Cook County corporations and
the State railroads would pay large
proportion of the entire levy.
During the ten years the owner oil
a farm would pay slightly over 500
for bond interest. Including the SAC
direct tax for good roads, the maxi.
mum charge to each farm for the
ten-year period would be about $50,
This is about ten cents per acre per
year.
The increased value of Illinois
farms, as the result of such policy,
would hardly be less than $40 per
acre, or ten times the amount of d.
rect State taxation for good roads

A HERO OF THE HIGH SEAS.

The adventures of no dashing rover
OF fiction make more exciting reading
than the true history of Captain John
Manly. The valuable aid of the pri-
vateers during the Revolutionary pc
riod has always been recognized and
acknowledged by the navy, and 1t is
In appreciation of the fact that "Tor-
pedo-Boat Number %" bears the
name of the gallant captain. Mr.. Ed
gar S. Maciay, in his History of
American Privateers," gives an ac-
count of Manly's services to his coun-
try.
Captain Manly took charge Of the
/ Cumberland in 1879. Soon after he
took command he was captured by a
British frigate and carried to Barba-
dos, where he was cruelty treated.
His escape from prison was most au-
dacious. He bribed the jailer, fled
from his confines, seized an English
government tender. placed the crew
in irons and made his way to the Uni
/, ted States.
He was Immediately placed In
charge of the fine ship Jason of TWEEN
ty guns. He had hardly left port
when a squall carried away his masts
and left him helpless. The fact Of
this disaster. coupled with his mis-
fortune on the Cumberland, made the
crew suspicious.>and they mutinied.
A disabled ship and rebellious
crew are difficulties enough to dis
hearten any commander, but Manly
was not to be downed by untoward
circumstances. With the vigorous
help of cutlass he reduced the mu-
tiny and brought his snip to port for
repairs. More than that. he took two
prizes, the Hazard and the Ae~Nntu-
rer. These he carried to oston.
There he heard that British feet of
merchantmen. homeward bound. were
supposed to be skirting the New Eng
land coast.
Manly could not lie quiet under
such news, and off he started in pdr-
suit. One thick day the fog suddenly
lifted and revealed to the Jason a
fleet of forty large ships in alarming
proximity. This was 2 bit too much,
even for the bold captain. and by the
aid of the fog. which fortunately shut
down again, he escaped.
Not long after this the Jason came
up with the British vessel Surprise.
"Heave to or we will fire into you!"
shouted tie English captain.
Fire away! We have as many
guns as you." coolly replied Manly.
He fought bravely, but again his crew
mutinied and the Jason was captured
Manly was carried before the lord
admiral.
Are you not the same Manly who
commanded the Cumberland" ques-
toned the admiral.
"Yes."
"Were you not taken by the Thun-
derer?"
"Yes."
did you not escape by bribing the
Jailer and taking the kings tender?".
roared the admiral.
Manly did not wish to incriminate
the jailer so he held his peace. He
was sent to England to be kept in
Mill Prison until the end of the war,
but in 1882 he was exchanged. He
was at once put in command of the
Hague, and in thirteen days had cap
tured valuable prize ship. How
much more he would have harried
British shipping is not known, for he
was run into Martinique, and block
AIDED there until peace was declared.

Coal and Prosperity.

1t has been computed that in 1910
the production and consumption of
coal in the United States amounted to
quarter of a ton per head for the
entire population; in 1860 the ratio
had risen to half ton per head; in
1880 it was one ton, and in 1890 five
tons. AS the population itself was
increasing enormously all this time,
the increase in the amount of coal
produced and consumed was, of
course, vastly greater than these ra-
tics per head would indicate. The
increase has gone hand in hand with
the growth of manufactures and in
