ORA HEATH HURT
IN AUTO MISHAP
Taylor Ridge Man Pinned Under
Car Which Upsets
on Hill.
Is INTERNALLY INJURED
Mrs. Heath and Mrs. Charles Dunlap,
Other Occupants, Fall Clear of
Machine and Escape.

Ora Heath, the we'll known TAYLOR
Ridge blacksmith, was internally in
jured. possibly seriously. and his wife
and Mrs. Charles Dunlap, wife of Dep
uty Sheriff Dunlap, were bruised and
scratched when an automobile, owned
and driven by Mr.. Heath, tipped on
its side in ditch on Turkey Hollow
hill, five miles southwest of Milan at 6
o'clock last evening.
Mr.. Heath was pinned beneath the
machine, but the ladies were thrown
clear of the car. He was unconscious
for about one-half hour following the
nishap.
The party had spent the day in
Rock Island. They departed late in
the afternoon for Taylor Ridge. AS
they were ascending the hill the en-
CINE stopped and the car started back
ing down the incline, the brake failing
to hold. AS it reversed it turned to
the side, plunged over into a ditch
and turned on it's side.
Mr.. Heath fell beneath the machine
The ladies ran for assistance and a
farmer resieing nearby came to the
scene and pulled the injured man from
beneath the car.
Mr.. Heath was still unconscious and
DR.. Allan Miller, of Edgington, was
called TO attend him. Later Mr.. Heath
was taken to his home.
Internal Injuries.
Today he complains of a pain in
his side. He sustained internal in
turies, but the exact seriousness Of
the case could not be determined by
the doctor. 1t was at first thought
that several of his ribs were broken,
but a subsequent examination proved
that they had not been fractured.
The Turkey Hollow hill is a steep
clay incline. The recent rains wash
ed out a number of ruts some eight
to 10 inches in depth. which made
travel on the hill very difficult.

WEIGH PROBLEMS
OF COUNTRY LIFE
Practical talks Heard by Those
Attending Conference
at Sterling.
GOOD RESULTS EXPECTED
Cooperation the Keynote in Success
full Efforts to Make Farm
Life Brighten

Consolidation of rural schools, es-
the problems practical on the farm,
keeping the boys and girls of the
farm at home, and attending the rural
consolidated school until IS years of
| age, the upbuilding of the rural COM
munity life, the country church, Co
operation of farm work, creameries
and buying and selling on the farm
were the important subjects discussed
at the conference on country life at
the Presbyterian church at Sterling,
conducted under the auspices Of the
Rock River conference of the Metho-
dist church and the Rock River pres
bytery of the Presbyterian church.
About so pastors and laymen at
tended the opening session yesterday
morning and at the closing session
last evening the church was filed with
an interested audience. Thoughts ad-
vanced were not theoretical, but prac-
tical and results are looked for.
Leaders Are Present.
For this conference there were not
ed speakers: B. C. Iliff, the dairy
commissioner for the state OF Iowa;
a representative of the Illinois board
of health; DIR. w. H. Wilson of New
York, chairman of the national COM
mittee on country life OF the Presby-
terrain church. and others who are CIV
ing their time and service to the
betterment Of country life.
DR.. Wilson referred to the decline
of the country church speaking gener-
ally, showing that there were thou
sands of churches not in use through
out the land, referring especially to
Illinois, Ohio and also conditions in
the south. He deplored these condi-
lions, and this was one of the prob
lens that the conference is attempting
to solve. With this problem came the
problems of building up the commu-
nifty, through the general cooperation
OF the people, in consolidated schools,
cooperation, and general Advancement.
In his talk DR.. Wilson showed the
growth of the city churches and at
tendance in 10 years. that 1t was far
greater than the country. That the
number of idle churches in the coun-
try increased and sought a reason for
these conditions. He stated that he
never deplored the fall of religion, or
that it would become extinct, but be-
Iieved in the general advancement of
the work.
Speaks Of Cooperation.

the address by B. c. Iliff on Farm
In his address he paid
particular attention TO dairying. He

FOURTEEN ADDED
DURING The WEEK
Evangelist Wray Continues to
Meet With Success in
His Efforts.

At the close Of the first week of re-
vival services at the Fifteenth Avenue
Christian church, Rev. c. L. Stauffer
pastor, II converts have been made
and received as members of the
church. Evangelist B. L Wray is as
listing the pastor in the services and
large numbers are attracted to the
church every evening. No services
will be held this evening, but meet
ings will continue through next week.
The sermon theme tomorrow morning
will be Prayer and in the evening
the subject will be THE Rich FoCN."
The evangelist last evening spoke on
the subject OF 1.-The Conversion of
Zacchaeus," in which he said:
Someone has said that if a thou.
sandth part of all the things that have
been said about Jesus, is true then it
is worth while for any man to do as
Zacchaeus did, namely, ITO seek to see
Jesus who he was"
Why Zacchaeus sought to see Jesus
may be a matter of conjecture; per
haps of idle curiosity, perhaps on &C
count of the fame of Jesus; maybe
on account of real faith on his part.
A desire for better life. But what
ever that prompted him to see Jesus
it resulted in his conversion, for Jesus
said, today is salvation come to this
house.
so will Jesus come into any house,
into any heart, into any life, if We
seek to know Jesus; if we make
haste and come down out of self; If
we receive him; if we make proper
restitution"

The general thought was advanced
that the consolidated school should be
managed entirely by the farmer, that
it was the farmers business, and as
the community advanced the things
necessary for the community could be
added. That these schools should
teach such things that go to make the
community better, improve crop con-
ditions, crop productions. That the
homes should be made more cheerful,
and farther the thought was advanced
that after all the farmer is the person
to be taught many problems. That he
should be rated with the banker and
the business man.

FARMERS iSEw COOPERATIVE CREAMERY IN vIRooUA

perience in his work He has been
here for eleven years. Before coming
he was head butter-maker and foreman
IN the principal creamery at CashtOn;
also for five years having supervision
over thirteen cream separating stations
in connection with the main creamery.
Both Of these practical and faithful
men have received high scores and first
prizes at a numner of butter contests.
The board of directors is composed of
full, progressive ard prudent gen.
tlemen who have cor Quoted the institu-
ton with ability and in the interests of
stockholders and patrons They are:
Hugh Porter, president; Joseph Blu
chanan, vice president; Chris ElIefson,
secretary ard treasurer; d. S. Froiand
and L. NJ. Thompson. Messrs. Porter
and Buchanan have been directors from
date of organization, Mr. Ellefson has
held his present position for eight years
snd has given most acceptable service.
Five men are employed in the creamery
besides a lady book. keeper, Miss Ethel
Fisher. The company is composed of
600 stockholders with one share each,
all farmers, who deliver their cream
product TO the big institution.
There was no little friction when the
matter of erecting new creamery was
taken up at last January 8 annual meet
ing. A special committee was appoint
ed to report to an adjourned session a
month later, and the recommendation
was favorable to the project. The rec
ommendation was ratified and directors
given full power to make arrangements
and oversee the work They have
found it no boys play to direct matters.
Plans and specifications were secured
and the entire contract let to Ford,
Booth & Schools, of GAINESVILLE, who APP
pear to have performed their contract
with fidelity and free from friction.
In its entirety and completeness the
new creamery cost $1,000. 1t was
paid for from one-half of the year s
over. run, two and one.half per cent be-
ing deducted last July, and about a like
per cent to be taken the last half of
the year, leaving patrons about an
equal amount for division at the Janu-
airy annual meeting.
If expressions of stockholders on the
day OF opening be an average senti-
ment, there Is reason 10 believe all are
we'll satisfied with their investment.
1t will be some days yet before all
matters are adjusted and removal made
to new quarters.

The Joyous Holiday Time

Christmas was bright, crisp day, an
ideal old-fashioned holiday period. 1t
was observed in that spirit of fellow
ship that makes life worth living. Most
of the churches pleased their young
people with Christmas trees and enter
tainments. Business was closed and
neighborhood and family gatherings the
order. Movies furnished amusement
for theatre goers in the afternoon, and
Culver's orchestra gave the dancers en-
joyment at night.
At eleven o'clock in the forenoon, as
is custom of the craft, the Knights
Templar members met in their temple
for season of Christmas observance.
