the low land is still covered with wat

later crops. The early planted corn
shows an exceptionally good stand, and
is generally in good condition except
that the weeds are getting rank and
will have to be subdued at an early
date or there will be rapid decline

clover have continued to make very

CONTEST A DRAW.

CHICAGO, April 8.-The great
liquor contest in Illinois has resulted
in a drawn battle, with the saloons
winning decisiyely in most of the
larger cities, but losing in scores Of
smaller ones, l0l4 saloons being
voted out of existence.
The returns as collected by town
ships are even more impressive from
the prohibition view point, 1928 town
ships, or more than three fourths of
the total number 1912 being closed
to the saloon
Only by winning in the larger cities
did the liquor interest save them
selves from complete route.
Where the "grog- shop" was not an
economic asset in city government
the prohibitionists had the advantage.
Where financial questions entered
largely they lost.
Although they did not chase the
demon rum" from the state they
profess satisfaction with the results
They were the aggressors and where
they win it is clear gain.
The saloons were on the defensive
Where they win they have nothing

A house of concrete!

A house OF concrete!
A house without chimney!
A house with plenty OF artificial
light and heat yet without bit of FIRE
No coal; no ashes; no SCOT; no dang
erous gases.
Such is the ideal Twentieth Cen
tury Home which Mr.. F. NJ. Sinsa-
baugh has just completed for his com.
fort at Carrollton, Illinois While
this wonderful residence is now the
first OF its kind in the world, it is,
perhaps, good example of what the
average American home will be in a
few years from now when both wood
and coal have become too expensive
for common use. Wood is now too
scarce and high in price for common
use. Wood is now too scarce and
high in price for common building
materials and the time is already
here when, for economy's sake, ar
chitects and contractors are figuring
to construct all buildings of steel and
concrete As the supply Of coal di-
minishes the cost is advancing so that
everything possible is being done to
husband the supply and see that
none OF the precious stored heat is
wasted. Electricity, generated by
water power, is even now taking the
place of coal as source of power
and the time is surely coming when
it will rank first as a souce of heat
Mr.. Sinsabaugh's Model Twen-
tieth-C Century Home is "a 80 feet,
two stories high, with attic and base
ment and has eight rooms on the two
main floors. While Edison's idea of
a concrete house to be poured in one
big mould was not carried out, yet
the principal building material was
concrete. The foundation and walls
are of concrete blocks. The concrete
was mixed and moulded into the
building blocks as required There
was no waste of building material
The floors are Of wood and the inter
ior is finished in plaster and oak
wood The style of architecture is
of the plain, substantial mission type.
This idea is carried throughout the
interior as we'll. The building is
fronted by a large porch 8 81 feet.
This concrete and wood finished
house cost less than $500.
The interior is roomy and comfort
able. On the left of the entrance hall
is the parlor, and on the right the lib

out rehectiyely. Just then the turkey

The sheriff nodded. but plainly did
not like the topic, He was fat man,
with full, dark-red face. Avery the
prisoner, was man of wire, with the
dumb look which men who live much
alone seem to catch from the I'M

sheep herder.

to change the subject.
All right" answered the man of
Few words. He rose and threw the
scraps of his meal through the bars to
the turkey, that at first gobbled ap-
prehensiyely.
Coin to kill him tomorrow? He
indicated the turkey.
Yes, I'm goin' to give some of the
boys a supper tomorrow night. He's
good and fat now"
Avery listened with slight interest.
Tomorrow night did not exist for
him. From a pile under the window
he selected a shnck with great care,
trimmed it and rolled a cigarette.
Il haven't had fair show" Avery
said%%
But you killed him." Stanley's be-
lief in his guilt was firm.
Avery persisted in the denial he had
made from the first.
What went with the body? An the
saddle an bride? What did do with
them%'
Stanley struck another match.
You know, I reckon. We can't
find out. But you can't deny that you

HE went on"

and threw 1t wide open.

and themselves should be the victims.
Not for one minute does anyone sus-
picion that the owners of the Union
would haggle over a few paltry dollars,
had the management given them a
thorough understanding of the case.
In the Sunday Union the manage
ment calls attention to the fact that
while their witnesses were all men
those on Miss Wards side were girls.
We do not know if the management
means to question the veracity of the
young ladies or the susceptibility OF
the jury or both. While we do not
doubt the honesty of their witnesses
we have ever found the word Of the
average girl just as dependable as that
Of the stronger sex. 1t does not look
as though an appeal would be accepted
by the public with very good grace.
