even more scientific than prophetic
 Nearby are quarries which supply rock for three great Portland cen ent works and also for the manufacture or glass These Quarries furnish la DOT for 75O men. The coal deposits have developed 21 coal mines now supporting 7,544 mine workmen and their families. Including the three zinc plants these industries and the rich soil productive of the staple crops valued annually at $12, 2,oe0,ooO, support within 8 radius of ten miles population of 55, 600, very cosno- pohtan in birth and language.
 The work of the pioneer captain of industry was from first to last for others as much for self, for the whole conn1unfty even more than for his family. We'll aware of what he 0wed to education, he coveted for his fe1- low workers and townsfo1k the best schools available. After the grade schools were we'll established he first suggested 8 township high school for the three cities. When the bond is sue for 1t was voted down, because or the rivalry of the three cities, he quietly and uncomplainingIy awaited the next opportunity to suggest and support the proposition again, telling his neighbors that "the children should not suffer for any failure of their elders''
 Civic Center Institutions.
 In 1898 their parents thought sc too and voted to erect the La Salle- Peru Township High School. Five years later Mrs F. w. Matthieson erected a Manual Training and Do mestic Science building. Both are finely equipped with every modern ap- spllance from a physics laboratory to, all. the apparatus of a practical agri- cultural department, from forge and lathe to gas stove and a needle, from nliscFopess and dissecting instru- f1e11ts for biology to an art studio and a Inc collection of pictures and statues which overf11w the museum

upon the school room walls and into the railways. An assembly hall seat ing 500 people, modelled after the Little Theatre in New York City, is shared with the community.
 Loving nature, the family have al- ways let their fellow townsfolk share the rest and recreation which they have had in their beautiful Deer Park surrounding the summer home stead outlying the towns, A great multitude from near and far resort for their evening or weekend outings. The 2,200 or more employed in the zinc and clock works, and many more thousands at work in the mines and the plants of other employers, have ever been held in mind.
 To bring recreation nearer home all the year round to these hard work CTS and their children a $75, 900 build ing for a social center was recently erected and deeded to the high school trustees. Attached to the main b1liId- ing by covered passage way, it con- tains a spacious gymnasium, which is also used for large assemblies. Shower baths and swimming pools, library and reading facilities, billiards and bowling alleys, rooms for classes and clubs, for music and art, are on a generous scale, all under a direc- tor trained at the University of Penn sylvania and the Chicago School of C1v1cs and Philanthropy. Away from this recreation center, and perhaps the most important part of it, stretch the twelve acres of land, awaiting the development of its fine possibilities for playheld and an open air anphi- theatre.
 Community Health Service.
 To this civic group has recently been added the most original and far reaching agency of aIl-the Hygenic Institute The health offices of the three cities had been only what the average town provides, which was far below, the standard of community service set by the high school and it's

 The natural rivalry between towns growing up separately so close to- gether long delayed that coo operation through which each of them could hope for modern equipment and ser vice. There was one citizen, however who had grown up with the towns whose democratic hope for united ac- was undaunted.

A fifth cooperating agency in this remarkable afdItadon of volunteer and public institutions is the Infant Well fare Station founded as a memorial to Mrs Emma Matthiessen Chancel- Tor.
 vCo-Operatfon With Town On1ciaIs
 All these undertakings have been attempted and achieved in private CO operation with and under the final authority of the public administration of the township high school and the city councils. Moreover, these ideals have been pursued and realized, not when and where there was an excep- tional1y high standard of public ad- nainistration, but when and where and personal political interests have main tained aScendenoy over. public welfare. While as rule local citizens and off, cfa1s, especially the late Mayor Doyle of La Sale, Mayor Massieon of Peru and Mayor Lindsay of OgIesby, loyal ly co-operated, yet all this time one of the most notorious party bosses in Illinois has held unbrolzen sway over the legislative and county constituent 0AoS A-A AAASIA eAAAs SChooA toWhsnlp IS included.

WHAT Ais, THE COUNTRY?

In his address to the congress he
had summoned in extra session 10 re-
wise the tariff, President Wilson SAID;
"The burden carried by the people
under existing laws must be hghteneo
MS soon as possible. Inc sooner
that is done the sooner we snail es'
cape from suffering, and the sooner
orr men of business will be free to
thrive by the law of nature, instead OF
nv the law of legislation and artlnclai
arrangement. X We must bulid
nm trade, especially foreign trade. we
need the outlet and the enlarged nelo
of energy more than we ever ola oe-
fore" ,,.,
The tariff law which President Will
son did so much to form and upon the
massage of which he congratulated the
country so fervently has now been ei-
foctiye seventy-three days. That tarln
law opened our own gates generously
to the competition Of foreign producers
but it did not open a single gate 10 our
producers. ~
The opportunity for reciprocity, so
Significantly ard wonderfully shown IN
our relations with Cuba, was ignored
Even the effort of congress to revive
American commerce and shipping ny
restoring the time-honored democratic
discrimination in favor OF American
ships was nullfied by the presidents
own order.
And so we have had seventy-three
DAYS Of diminishing production, OF
gradually extending discouragement OF
falling bank clearings in all sections,
Of diminished building operations and
OF languis:aing trade.
Mr.. Redfield, the presidents secre-
tarv Of commerce, now asks for "a
OOO. 900 appropriation to ascertain what

Such an inquiry, if thoroughly made,

zion. and if it shows exactly why so
MANY men are out of employment, and
whv business is so much depressed, in
spite of the cure-all of tariff reductlon'
it will be worth $4,000,0OO.
In the meantime we commend 10
President Wilson's earnest considera-
ton this pregnant paragraph In the re-
port of his own secretary or COM
nerce:
"We have spent several hundred
millions preparing the Panama canal
and the nations of the world have been
getting ready for it's use, while we
have done almost nothing actively 10
promote the commerce which should
repay the nation, in part at least, for
this vast outlay"

maxims is what the country now
needs.-New York American.

AN IDLE DREAM,

Stewart Browne In the New 4OrR
Evening Post says: The trouble with
farm. village, town and city life today
IS that mother nature intended rs per
cent of humanity to be hewers OF
wood and drawers of water; our mis-
fit system of universal education (cul
ture) has educated them out of their
proper environment and unified them
not only from performing the
worlds chores" but from properly
performing any work. They have
been coddled and fooled with until
they believe the world owes them a
living without working for it.
The old time farmers have retired to
the towns, and their sons and
daughters won't live on the farms as
their fathers and mothers did. but
flock to the cities; and the remaining
farmers who farm can't get labor, as
II also has gone to and won't leave
the cities.
Subject to the law of supply and
demand, increasing wages have rela'
lively increased our price level
Some farms in twenty years have
probably doubled in selling value;
some 50 per cent, some rs per cent;
SOu0 nave 1SudlACu 0SoSAoAoAy' oAAA
others have decreased in selling
value; I mean farms as farms, not
farms as toys or hobbies to play with
Some 100-acre farms can be bought
for $4,000, and others, not better
farms bring $4,000.
You might offer all the farms in
the United States and Canada for
nothing with the proviso that they
must be farmed for, say, twenty years
and must never be sold, and you
would not bring back the old old con
ditions of farming; new era and a
new generation has arrived, and farm
ing is beneath the dignity of the pres
ent generation.
Although the prices to the consum.
er of farm products have in twenty
years doubled and in some cases treb
led, the most of the increase is eaten
up by increased cost of production

forgetting the cold storage Spectator
