Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. 24.-Holding
the new rates adopted by the head
camp of the Modern Woodmen at the

The problem of repairing the roof
and painting the interior OF the court
house. which has come up before the
board of county commissioners on
many different occasions will probably
be settled within the near future.
Homer Farlow, commissioner from the
eastern district, believes that an en-

building. To do this would necessi-
tate a great deal of work and large
amount of money.
The present board of commissioners
has been talking of the needed i'm.
provement of the court house for
some time, but because of the enor-
nous task. nothing has been done.
With the coming OF the warm wealth
