COUNTY NEWS

That Lake county farming land is
yearly increasing in value is attested by
E. J. Higley, who, during the year just
ended, sold 758 acres, aggregating $114,-
600, practically all paid for in cash.
Mr.. Higley, who is manager of the
farm land department of middle and
northern states of an old reliable firm,
states that in view Of the fact that Chi
cago is spreading out very rapidly to
the north and west, this, combined with
splendid transportation facilities, makes
all farm lands within a radius of one
hundred miles of Chicago increasingly
valuable. Many owners in Lake county
have advanced prices from $40 to $25
per acre during the year 1914
During the last twelve months, among
other lands, these farms in Lake county
have been sold:
Oakwood farm, 245 acres, $4,000
cash.
Hoeman Albrecht farm, 1913 acres,
$31, 500 cash.

The foot and mouth disease among
stock continues to be subject of lively
interest. The disease, which, it was an
nounced some time ago, had been check
ed, seems to have taken fresh start in
several counties.
A .Du Page county grand jury has
started an investigation of the methods
used in that county to stamp out the
disease. Serious charges of alleged
misconduct have been made against state
officials by farmers and cattle owners.
The state Board of Agriculture has
started an Investigations as to the best
method of coping with the situation, this
to be followed by congressional investi-
cation.
In the Fox River Valley, where, it is
stated, the disease is worst, owners and
dairymen have secured injunctions re-
straining the State from further
slaughtering of cattle. Herds worth
$150,000 have been killed in this dis
trict.
Other injunctions throughout the
State have been obtained within the

Do the fees on the inheritance tax
and interest on public funds go to the
county treasurer, the county, or the
state? The solution to this triangle is
being sought in the courts.
Circuit Judge Frost this week sub
mitted his decision in the litigation that
has been carried on in Lake county as
against former County Treasurer West
erield. to the effect that the fees belong
to the county.
Judge Frost's ruling conflicts with a
recent supreme court decision, wherein
that court held that this money belongs
to the state. This case, however, is
now before the supreme court for re-
hearing.
The Westerield case has been appeal
ed to the supreme court for a final rul-
ing. In the event that that court finally
rules the money involved belongs to the
state, every treasurer in Illinois will be
liable to a suit to recover fees retained,
and their bondsmen probably will be
made parties to such action.
The question is often asked, Why
does Zion want her own schools? The
answer is found, in part, in such an
nouncements as the following, appear
ing in Waukegan paper:
"The request of the central seventh
grade, as made to the school board
through Supt. Thompson, that they be
given permission to hold dancing parties
in the school once month, with the
subsequent favorable action of the board,
has produced the expected: The eighth
grade wants to do the same thing. So
the chances are the board will grant the
eighth grade a similar permit, and then
these two grades will hold their party
in the assembly room of the central
building together.
Probably these young people were
inspired to their action by the knowl-
edge that several high schools of Chi
cago have inaugurated regular dancing
parties, one afternoon a week.
In Sheboygan, Wisconsin, instead of
dances, the Second Ward public school
has secured two cent movies" those
pupils unable to afford the two cents
