In quarrel precipitated by the sale of

Maserino, thirty-sx years DID, was shot and
perhaps fatally injured last night by her hus-

The woman was removed to the County
Hospital, where it was found the bullet had
pierced her left breast. Coatless and hatless,
Maserino fled from the saloon after firing two
shots at patrons who attempted to intercept
him.
The saloon was crowded with patrons
when the girl entered. She placed pail on
the bar and ordered the saloonkeeper to fill it
with beer

Maserino to her husband. "Warn the girl

THE PRICE OF UNBELTING.

Is a "wide-open," "unbelted" city de-
sirable? Rockford has seldom been in this
class. Yet it has grown in population and
increased in territory until, emitting Chicago
from consideration, it is fourth in population
and first in manufacturing.
Springfield, the capital city, a wide

number of inhabitants by annexing the entire
township. Freeport, Quincy, GAINESVILLE,
Madison, Dubuque and Davenport, "unbelt
ing towns" have either stood still or been
passed by Rockford in the race for supremacy.
We excel each in the number of factories,
number of persons employed therein and
number of residences annually erected, par
ticularly in the year of 1912.
What does this prove? That a city that
"unbelts" does not grow. 1t does not invite
newcomers while city managed on a high
plane is desirable place in which to live, is
sure to be prosperous and is assured of steady
growth industrially and in population.

lowing interesting information:

and of manufacture It observed
some notable changes along political
lines, witnessing the overwhelming
defeat Of the party dominating the
country absolutely for sixteen years.

Dental terms, had controlled nation
al affairs for over half century,
the birth OF a new political organ
ization, while heralding the return to
national power OF an organization
which had lain dormant practically
since 1896. 1t saw registered some
great changes in legislation and
some new legal definitions OF existing
laws. which however, seemed to be
received with equanimlty IL not with
actual indifference. Despite the In
terest, approaching excitement, APP
parently inseparable from American
national elections, the country's
business moved forward with some
IRREGULARITIES visible at times, 1t is
true, but, on the Whole, with a stead
ihess and an Indifference to clamor,
whether of political or OF quasi
economic origin, which was refresh
ing to those who had not lost faith
in the republic. and comforting to
those who believe that in benefcient
crop returns and sober, solid hard
work and industry. rather than in
political nostrums, are to be found
true conservation and real national
progress. The countrys participation
in International politics was along
peaceful lines, and while the inter
dependence of the nations subjected
it to strains growing out Of European
war and financial disturbance, it was
spared the alarms or the open hostil-
tiles which afflicted all the nations
of the old world and some countries
in the western hemisphere. Briefly
stated, 1t was a period Of peaceful
progress and plcnteous production
during which were laid some firm
foundations for season of prosperity
in the current year.

Looking Forward.

Favorable conditions are in the
majority as the new year opens.
Easily first in this category are
basic crop results, which tend to
exert steadily widening influence
as they pass into human and animal
consumption TO an extent probably
never before exceeded, the crops
have been gathered, housed or mar
keted in good condition, and cheaper
food, which lies at the base OF all in
dustria1 effort, seems likely toybe one
beneficial feature. AS to future crops.
1t may be said that the winter wheat
crop starts out with better condt-.
ton through a smaller area than a
year ago. Orders now on the books
of manufacturers and wholesalers
are sufficient to keep most lines busy
until spring arrives. In lines where
bookings run beyond spring and up.
to fall, -as in iron and steel and Some
lines of textiles, raw material prices
abroad as we'll as at home render
sharp changes in manufacturing
costs unlikely. Active employment
for all able or willing to work is net
the least important foundation for
future good consrmptlve demand.
Conservatism bred of past years of
strain has made for cautious buying,
and nowhere are burdensome stocks
pressing for sale, while activity in
trade abroad, with high prices pre-
yailing, precludes duRping of sur
plus foreign goods coincident with
the confidently expected revision CT
the tariff. 1t seems to be the CON
census that this latter operation
should be pushed rapidly to a con-
cluslon in order that the period of
uncertainty shall be limited, and the.
calling of an extra session for early
in April will be in line With this de.
sire. Pending action on this matter,
business, operations will probably
continue to be governed by conser-
vaism, but not by pessimism. In
this connection the flrmncss of the
money market will have, il anything,
a favorable effect by tending to limit
speculation and to modify what might
otherwise tend to be ovetsangusne

England was once on the verge Of

the country into a state of general des.

Mr.. F. W. lakewood. prohibiting the
sale Of bread till it had been out Of the
oven at least twenty-four hours. Food
was so scarce and dear that n portion
of the population refused to starve in
silence. and rioting broke out in many
parts of England The acts against
