sity Is Arrested.

Champaign, Ill, Nov. 22.-Prof. L. D.

was a leader in the battle against
saloons in Champaign at the last local
option election, and then made af-
fdavit that a number of university
students were legal voters.

has ruled that many students had no
right to vote. The Champaign county
grand jury was called to consider the
question of illegal voting, and Profes-
sor Halls indictment followed. A bit

U. S. STILL FEEDS 'EM
Bread Basket of the World Again This
Year.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The United
States still is the "Sread basket of
the worId,'' according to the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce,
which today issued a report showing
that this country is furnishing food
stuffs to other nations at a steadily
rising ratio. While the exports of corn
and meat fell off sharply, more than
100 million bushels of wheat were sent
abroad during the past ten months, as
against SO millions during all of the
last year.
The heavy wheat exports were offset
somewhat by the decline in other farm
products. The United States as pro-
WIDER, however, maintained it's position,
for the report proceeds:
while the product of the farm will
show but little change in the general
export record of 1912, those of the fac
tory show marked advance, the value
of the manufactures exported in the
period for which figures are now avail
able exceeding by more than 100 mil
lion dollars those of the corresponding
months of last year and indicating
that the grand total of manufactures
exported in the full year of 1912 will
considerably exceed L billion dollars
and form about one-half of the total

BETTER Be A Hoe.
Than Sick Woman, DR.. Wiley
Tells a Reporter.
Or Steer Rather Than Man in
United States.

Boston, Mass, Nov. 22.-Dr. Harvey
Wiley, the food expert, who lectured be-
fore the Wellesley Women's club last
night, came here today on route for
Washington The doctor, besides an
nouncing on what terms he would run
for president, also stated that it was
better to be a steer than a man, and a
fat hog than a woman
In explanation, DR.. Wiley said:
"A man may have smallpox and
travel in a Pullman car.
mo one ever thinks that Pullman
should be fumigated each time it is
used. But in the case of the transfer
of cattle, every precaution known to
man is taken to prevent the spread of
contagious disease among valuable cat
tie.
Here is an instance where it is bet
ter to be a fat hog than a woman and
a child with consumption. This spe-
cial case happened in the middle west.
A woman with a child was stricken
with tuberculosis. She applied to the
state for assistance, but was told there
was no appropriation to cover her case.
In despair, she applied in Washington
for assistance. She received the same
sort of an answer from the United
States government.
'In that same town there was a
farmer who had a fat hog that was
taken sick with cholera. He wired to
Washington about it. He sent the mes
sage collect. In an hour he received a
reply.
''It read: Keep your hog alive for
"a hours. and our men will be there
The next day three men from the de-
partment of agriculture arrived. They
treated the hog and the animal recov-
cred. The fat hog Jared better than
the woman with tuberculosis
when the people of the United
States learn to put the welfare of the
individual before their greed of the al
mighty dollar, I shall announce myself
as a candidate for the presidency of the
United States, and all those that think
as I do, and they will be legion, will
sweep the country with their votes.
People in this country should die of
old age, not disease. The death rate is
16 out of 1000 per annum in the states
This is a ruthless waste of human life"

May Let Paving Contract Today.

In case the bids, which viii be opened
this afternoon, are satisfactory. the coun-
ty board may let the contract for the
paving of the public road from Walker s
corner, at the northeastern entrance to
Gage park, to the brick plant west of
the state hospital. The road is expected
ODE paved after it has been graded,
to place it in shape for travel.
At present the road is one of the worst
in the county. With the completion of
the brick yards bridge something will
have to be done with the short stretch
of road to make the bridge available. The
county board believes the solution lies
in paving. From the brick plant to the
south end of the bridge it is proposed to
build a cinder road. Dirt graded from
the road will be used in a fill at the south
end of the bridge.
