The letter in your columns last

and good advice.
We have in the Paulette and

never knew what it was to buy
flour; grew his own wheat for the
entire place, and Oh ! what buck
wheat cakes and pure Louisiana
molasses we had, and what a time
we had tramping out the wheat
with horses. My father would
then load up three six.horse wag.
ons with wheat and carry it to the
"Sipsy mills and the good sweet
flour, shorts, second and bran he
would bring back, My, how good
it all was. We did not even have
to buy starch.
Now, l am going to put that

am going to put every acre in corn

Springfield, ILL.,, Nov. %. - Citing
amazing discrepancies between the

public utilities commission, Governor
Dunno today sent a letter to the
equalizing board in which he asserted
his formerly expressed conviction
that the body was unable to perform
its duties as the public expected.
The governor suggested no remedy
except to ask that the board call be-
fore itself M. ]. Murphy, chief ac-
countant of the public utilities COM
mission, to confirm his view. He ac-
companied his letter with a commu-
nication from Murphy, which fatty
called the board "the crudest, most
