During the progress of the morning
bath of a few months old infant a lit
tie neighbor girl came into the room
carrying a doll and stood watching
the operation for some time. The lit
tie girls doll was much the worse for

of the child:
How long have you had your

Governor Comedies Opponent Victory
Cannon Beaten for Congress
EDWARD F. DUNE.

Decatur, Hl.-Returns indicate the
defeat OF Representative William B.
Mckinley for congress from the Nine
teenth district by Charles M. Borch-
ers of Decatur, Democrat. His plural
ity is estimated at 1000.
Chicago.-Theodore Roosevelt ap-
parently has carried Illinois for presi-
dent by a plurality Of $4,000 over
Woodrow Wilson. True to the great
majority of the forecasts made, Presi-
dent Taft is a poor third in the race.
Incomplete returns from Cook coun-
ty indicate that Mr.. Roosevelt has a
margin OF about $4,000 over Gov. Will
sol Down state, Wilson and Roose-
welt ran a neck-and-neck race.
For governor Edward F. Dunno of
Chicago (Dem.) has carried Cook
county by $4,000 and the state by
probably as much.
Gov. Deneen, at Springfield, con-
coded DUNES victory, and said he
would send a congratulatory message
to his victorious opponent.
In Cook county GOV. Denesn and
Frank H. Funk, Progressive candi-
date, are running neck and neck, with
a slight margin in favor of the gov
ernor. Down state, Mr. Funk is max
ing an Unexpectedly strong showing,
beating out Gov. Deneen in many
counties where the opposite result
was confidently looked for by the
friends of the governor. Deneen is
third in the race.
There are not enough legislative re-
turns to justify a forecast on the prob
able makeup of the next general as
sembly, but unless there was a vast
deal of scratching it seems certain
that the Democrats and Progressives
have wTested control Of that body
from the Republicans, and that the
Democrats will be able to send two
men to the United States senate.
Democrats Elect congressman.
Also it is likely that the Democrats
have elected William d. Williams and

There is talk that he will be Charles

A resident of an English city has
made himself a marked man by in
sisting on saying ''nought" instead of
20" when he calls a telephone num-
Der having ciphers in it. The tele-

FORESTRY PROBLEM IN JAPAN
Little Brown srot. ers Have sass- auarded Themseives Aoalnst
 Destruction of Forssts.

Just at the time when this country Is beginning to struggle with tue problem of husbanding it's forest re- sources, of protecting it's mountain slopes, and of improving the water ways. it is interesting to know that the Japanese have successfully at tackled the same problem, before the land suffered severely from the evil effects following deforestation. The far-sighted people of Nippon have foreseen the results of the destruction of their extensive mountain forests, and have safeguarded themselves by placing all of these under government control.
 The practice of forestry has been carried on in Japan for longer time than in any other country. For 1,200 years the people of Japan have been planting and growing forests, with q success that has been little short of marvellous. Under careful manage ment, the Japanese forests yield very high financial returns. This high yield is only made possible by the close utilization of every bit of the tree so that scarcely twig is vast ed, and by the improvement of the growth of their forests by carefully conducted thinning and tending The woods are first thinned at the age of thirteen years, and then every five years after that up to the time of the nnal harvest, at 12o years.
