While the improvement boom is
ON it might be timely to revive the
agitation concerning the condition
of certain street crossings and por
tions of sidewalk in this borough.
Some time ago we spoke about this
thing but the "honk! honk!' of
our horn was not needed. There
are places along the walk on the
north side of Main street eaOt that
on rainy day are filled with water
which cannot run off owing to the
settled bed, and those having to
travel this part of the street are
forced to walk in the gutter or
wear rubber boots. A small guam
tity of cinder would raise these
places so the water would run off
enabling people to travel them dry
shod. A well known writer said;
Don't knock unless by knocking
YOU can boost This is meant for
boost and we believe the senti-
ment of a majority of our citizens
is herein expressed. We hope this
will be looked after by the proper
authorities before the next rainy
spell.

The Associated Fraternities of Amer

pudiated the tentative bill for the reg
ulation of fraternais recently agreed
upon by conference at New York of
the insurance commissioners and rep
resentatiyes of the Associated Fra
ternities and the National Fraternal
congress. They struck out section %
A, which provides for an improve

vency and was the essential feature of
the proposed bill, and also demanded

and the Woodmen of the World led IN

chiefly at their suggestion. Strong eff

FTaternal congress interests to pro-
posed changes, but it was urged by
them that there were many orders in
the congress which did not like the
revised tentative bill as 1t was, be-
cause it had gone to the extreme in
the way of copcessions and would not
support the committee in any further
yielding.
1t is now probable that the insurance
commissioners and the National Fra
ternal congress will join issues and
seek the enactment of the tentative
bill, more for educational purposes
than with any expectation of securing
its adoption by any legislatures. They
hold that legislation, effective or other
wise, would probably end the agitation
for adequate rates for some time and
think it better to have no legislation
than to concede what they regard as
vital points to the current-cost orders.

STATE FARM MEET ENDS
of Agriculture.

Although it rained on the closing
day of the midsummer farmers insti-
tute at the university, Urbana, Aug. Is,
one of its very best sessions was held
in Morrow hall, and several small par
ties of visitors went through the fields.
Professor Rankin and institute officials
estimate that 1000 to $500 came to
the university from a distance during
the three days-the largest gathering
of country people ever assembled
there, although many farmers had not
finished their threshing work. Certain
features of the program were very
strong and helpful, and the gathering
is recorded decided success. 1t was
voted that it ought to be an annual
event
In its resolutions the institute en-
dorsed the views presented by the Ger
man commissioner, N. Kaumanns, as
"a keen analysis and critical treatment
Of the highest order touching charac-
teristic agricultural conditions in
America" The institute said it was
deeply satisfied with the substantial
character of the college and station

lack of funds the work of needed build

and asked the state to provide sufi-

plan to meet these demands piece

the demands for 10 years to come.
Dean DavenpOrt's Address.
Professor Eugene Davenport, dean
of the college of agriculture, made the
closing address, and received hearty
response from the audience. He said:
This place is now and always was
yours It will be in the future what
you determine to make it. People just
like you must determine what Ameri-
can agriculture is to be.
We need particularly in Illinois a
new objective point for the farmer.
We need a redirection of the business
of farming in a very important respect.
The first object in real farming is
making money. This is fundamental.
Our coures are directed straight at
money making. But 1t takes about as
much wisdom to spend money as to
make it. 1t is the hope of nearly every
young married man and his wife to go
to town to live. They live in that
hope. They will skimp and slave on
the farm until they get enough money
and then buy a house in town. They
cheat that old farm of the money it
has earned, and cheat themselves into
the idea they are retiring from bust
ness, and cheat the children by driv-
ng them from the farm where they be
gan life. There are some particular
reasons why this is bad practice now.

Spendthrift, Idle Boys.
There never was a time when people
of moderate means were spending so
freely. Over here at the court house
are recorded $50 mortgages for auto
mobiles. The mortgages are running
up; the machines are running down !;
which way are the people going 10 go?
You give the boys a practical dem
onstration in leaving the farm. You
teach them to spend money and lot
of it; the game is set for those chill
dren; and then you blame us when we
will not go back from here to the farm.
That is the modern slaughter of the
innocents; the boy hasn't a square
deal. l believe in education, but not
that kind. Let that family stay on the
farm.
There never were such conditions
surrounding young people as now.
