GASOLINE ORDINANCE PRO
POSED

An ordinance was proposed before the
city council Of Waukegan last week, pro
,viding that no more than five gallons Of
gasoline may be kept in an establishment
by dealer and that this must be buried
two feet under ground. A larger quantity
must be kept at distance of full twenty
feet from the building.
The proposed ordinance, however, fails
to refer to the automobile owner, who US
ually has more than five gallons on his
premises.
The council was Of the opinion that
some regulation should be made, but de-
cided to first thoroughly look into all as
poets Of the matter.

SUPREME COURT DIssOLvEs IN
JUNCTION STAYING SLAUGHTER
OF DURAND HERD

The Supreme Court Of Illinois has dis
solved the injunction which enjoined state
and national veterinarians from staying
the Durand cattle An order, however,
has been issued which prevent the
slaughter of the cattle until an examining
board can ascertain whether the herd has
recovered from the foot and mouth dis
ease. If it is found that the cattle are
still infected, they will be slaughtered.
AS an indication of the widespread Ell
feet Of the injunction just dissolved, State
Veterinarian Marshall, Of Pennsylvania,
last week wired President Leonard, OF the
Chicago Stockyards company, offering his
congratulations on it's dissolution, and
announcing that, on and after November
1, live stock shipments from Chicago
would have free passage through the Key
stone State.
New York authorities will probably fol-
low suit, thus giving Chicago access to
eastern towns, from which it has been
excluded since the issue Of the injunction.

ECONOMIC EFFECT OF SUNDAY
CLOSING LAW FELT

Chicago firms and business men are al
ready testifying to the benefcent effects,
from an economic standpoint, shown by
the Sunday closing law.
The first big concerns subscribing their
testimonies are the packing companies,
the Illinois Steel Company, the Interna-
tional Harvester Works, and large build
ing contractors. These companies testify
that their men come to the plants Monday
mornings with clear heads and rested
bodies. Grocers in the vicinity Of these
plants freely praise the measure as one Of
great value to their business, stating that
the men show much greater promptness in
paying bills out Of their pay check.

RUSSIA REPORTED AS SEEKING
AMERICAN LOAN

1t is said to be reported from reliable
sources that Russian agents are seeking to
establish a credit loan in this country
similar to the half billion loan recently
negotiated by France and England. The
amount sought is from $50,000,000 to
$1OO,000,000, and more, if it can be OBJ
tanned.
It is claimed that the amount is to be
spent entirely in this country in the pay
ment for supplies. It was learned this
past week that 100000 yards of heavy
wooden cloth, costing over 100000, has
been purchased by the Russian govern
ment from the American Wooden Com
pany The cloth is to be made into l.
100000 overcoats for the Cars armies.

JAPAN PROTESTS AGAINST CHANGE
IN CHINA

The Japanese government has requested
China to postpone the proposed return to
a monarchial form Of government, this
policy being decided upon after consulta-
ton with Great Britain and Russia.
America has also been asked to join in
the request.
The Japanese foreign office declares
that an undercurrent of opposition exists
to a monarchy, and that feeling Of I'M
rest is spreading in all parts of China,
which may terminate in revolt. In view
of the deadly European struggle, it is
urged that the welfare Of China as well as
of the entire world depends upon the pre-
vention of further international disturb
ances.
However, China has rejected the Japan
csc proposals and is determined to pro-
ceed with the vote as to whether mon
archy is to be reestablished.

CHRISTIANS BARRED FROM C0RO

Japan has decided to adhere to her orr
ginal purpose Of not inviting any repre-
sentative Of the Christian religion to the
coronation ceremonies of Emperor Yos-
hihito, to be held this month, only repre-
sentatlves Of the Buddhist and Shinto re
hgions being allowed to attend.
This decision was reached, notwith-
standing the pressure brought to bear by
Japanese Christians, who represented that
Christianity is now one of the prominent
religions of the Empire The coronation
board, however, will recognize the re-
ligions of the West by inviting their repre-
sentatives to the banquets to be held in
various cities Of the Empire, simultaneous
ly with the first great coronation feast

EMPHATIC NOTE SENT GREAT

AS the questions at issue are merely Of
commercial value, and not Of life or death

the freedom Of trade is Of the utmost con-
Germ to American interests; the English

ADVANCE IN PRICE OF DRUGS

The American public is becoming exer.
cised over the rapid rise in the price of
drugs. The Litery Digest, under the cap
ton "Facing Drug Famine" among
other things, says: "With senna-leaves
gone up to seven times their usual price,
and Egyptian Figs at so cents instead of
9, even infants in arms must beware that
they do not too often cry for certain
brands of soothing syrups-''
The United States procures Is per cent
of its drug supply from Europe Quinine
now costs five times as much as a few
weeks ago, the price having risen from
40 cents an ounce to 1926. Cod liver oil,
which is such only in name, being made
absolutely from crude oils imported from
Norway, has greatly advanced, the cost Of
the crude product rising from $40 to $50
per barrel
One writer states that "if the war con-
tinues until next spring, grandma may be
forced to look about for substitute for
her tried and true camomile-tea" The
advice given the public is to "keep we'll, !"
as sickness is too expensive luxury.
If the statement of Sir James johnson,
former editor Of the Medical Chirurgical
Review, of London, is to be believed, a
drug famine would not be such great
calamity to America as the majority of
people presume. He says:
Il declare, as my conscientious convic-
ton, founded upon long observation and
experiment, that if there were not single
physician, surgeon, chemist druggist or
drug on the face of the earth, there would
be less sickness and mortality than now
prevail.
In Zion City thousands of people have
lived for years without doctor or drugs,
and the birth rate is higher, and the death
rate lower, than in surrounding cities
This ought to prove to any fair minded
person that drugs are not indispensable
to the health Of individuals, but that peo-
pie are healthier without them.

WORLDS HIGHEST DAM COM
PLETED

The ArrowrOck Dam has recently been
completed in Idaho by the United States
Reclamation Service. This is the highest
dam in the world, and was part of a
$12,000,000 irrigation project.
1t is claimed that the storage of water
IN the reservoir this year, the driest on
record, saved the crops on 100000 acres of
land, and that 100000 acres will eventual
ly be converted from a sage-brush desert
into fruitful gardens, orchards, a d
farms.
The Harper's Weekly, in commenting
on this remarkable enterprise, states:
"Only those familiar with conditions in
the semiarid West can appreciate the diff
ficulties overcome in the construction Of
this system. Early settlers had appro-
priated all the normal summer flow of the
Boise River for irrigation, and still there
was a fine body Of land in the valley
wholly without water and useless.
''By making exhaustive surveys of the
watershed of the river, a watershed more

Tciisn Was a lid though. :hc
greatest man in our town was a fell

and catch half-dozen nice bass any

Walkre l went home twenty years
later, and as the train sped by the

the water all the time.
The world will say he was a failure,
but was he? For him no clouds OBJ
scured his sky nor thunder rolled at
night No bad dreams disturbed his
! sleep, and he whistled softly turnout
the hours Of sunlight. The only thing
that worried him in the morning was
the thought that possibly the fish
wouldn't bite that day. He caused no
heart sorrow, for he was alone in the
| world The little mound in the village
cemetery that marked where his mother
had passed to the angels he kept clean
and green. and for more than a quarter
of century he had every week dropped
his tea upon the sacred soil there. He
owed no man penny and the business
worries of the mart and the politics Of
the forum disturbed him not. Flowers
grew in his front yard. and he gave
them to the passing children and car
red them to the sick rooms of his
friends. Often, as he worked among
his flowers or swung his fishpole, he
would hum There Is Rest for the
Weary
So again and again, as l think Of the

count their gold by the millions and

were-marked a new low price level

When commission men we're asked
as to the corcition of the market some
OF them only sighed and turned sad

Peach market? There amt none!
There was certain carload of fruit
ripe Elberras-that came in from
Utah: 47s bushel baskets crammed.
The freight on these was rather rea-
sonable-oniy 80 cents basket. Com
mission charges and carriage from
