STARTLING AUTO ACCIDENTS

Among the usual number of auto &C
cidents along the Lake Shore during the
past week, there have been three of an
startling nature.
A Chicago & Northwestern south
bound train, last Sunday forenoon,
struck an auto broadside at the Scott
Avenue grade crossing at Hubbard
Woods. The auto was occupied only by
the chauffeur, who was racing at high
rate of speed, and who evidently thought
that he could cross ahead of the loco
motive, although the train was coming
in plain view at speed of about forty
five miles an hour AS the locomotive
struck the machine, the gasoline tank
exploded, and instantly the wreckage
was in mass of flames. The body of
the driver, with parts of the machine,
was carried distance of eleven hun
dred feet. He was instantly killed, the
head being entirely severed from the
body. Several Zion people, en- route to
the Chicago meeting, viewed the CHASTITY
sight.
On the same forenoon, the engine of a
big touring car in Waukegan suddenly
became enveloped in flames, and the five
occupants were compelled to instantly
jump for their lives.
In the evening of the same day, a
large auto was destroyed by fire on West
Belvidere ST., Waukegan. The owner
of the car was returning home at the
time the fire broke out, the flames sud-
denly faring up and enveloping the
machine.

Supreme Court, in the sum of $4,000.
When John D. Rockefeller, Jr., was ap-
prised of the fact, he dictated the follow
ing statement:
"Mr. Rockefeller is gratifed to hear of
any step looking toward an early DISPOSE
ton of this and the other cases which have
so long been pending, and which, until
disposed of, will necessarily continue to
be constant cause of irritation, standing

friendly feeling and industrial peace
which the citizens, not only of this state,
but of the entire country, so earnestly
desire"

PROSPEROUS AMERICAN FARMERS

This is the most prosperous year for the
American farmer in the history of the
nation. With billion-bushel wheat crop
and a three-billion- bushel corn crop, he
will have, at the close Of the year, the
largest bankroll he ever possessed. Al
though the corn crop is 98,O0O,OO0 bushels
less than the record crop of 1912, the
higher prices now prevailing make it the
most valuable the country has ever seen.
The wheat crop is not only Ill OF, 900
bushels heavier than the immense crop of
1914, but high price prevails, giving to
the farmer the largest sum ever paid for
this product.
Other record harvests are reported, such
as oats, rye, rice, barley, hay, and sweet
potatoes.

as the Germans have made upon London,

height, speed, and direction of an air.

his statement, two governments now at

CLIMATE EFFECTED BY WATERS
OF LAKE

Colonel C. M Townsend, of the United
States Army, in lecture before the
Western Society of Engineers, in Chi
cago, last week, dwelt at length upon
the beneficial effect produced by the
currents of Lake Michigan upon the
climate of the lake shore region.
It is well known fact to residents of
this district that the waters of the lake
greatly diminish the intense heat of
summer. Hence, the vast number of
summer resorts everywhere, dotting it's
shores. Let any one go fifty miles
south of Chicago, during the heated sea-
son, and they will be surprised at the
difference in temperature. While they
may be a few intensely hot days now
and then, the nights are almost invar-
iably cool and pleasant. The only OBJ
lection is the severe cold of late winter
and the backward springs, but this is
counter balanced by a fall season up
paralleled for beauty, extending almost
to the holiday time.

DIXIE HIGHWAY" PROPOSED

A project for the construction Of great
"Dixie Highway" connecting the North
and the South was ushered in on October
8, by Governor Dunno Of Illinois, in an
address in Grant Park, Chicago.
Governor Dunno in his speech said:
THE two main essentials for the future
development of the state of Illinois are
the development Of it's highways and
waterways. Although this state is the
first in agricultural development, first in
railway development, second in the pro-
duction of all wealth among the states Of
the United States, third in population and
commercial and political Importance, and
third in nearly everything in which she is
not first or second, there is one notable
exception.
Among the states Of the United States.
Illinois is twenty-third in the development
of her highways. This is not only dis
grace to the state, but limitation of a
serious character upon it's future develop
ment.''
Following fitting ceremonies, fifty auto
mobiles started south for an eleven-day
trip of 1760 miles, over the proposed route
from Chicago to Miami, Florida, the south
ern terminal
En- route, the many silver tongued or
ators of the expedition will frequently
stop to exhort the people on the many adj
vantages of good roads, and an endeavor
will be made to enlist their aid in carrying
out the plan.

WILL REGULATE JITNEYS

The city council of Waukegan took
action on Monday night to regulate the
jitney bus traffic of the city. The
amount of bond to be required, and the
size of the license fee, has not been de-
cided upon.
There has been strong agitation in
Waukegan for some time for the regu-
lation of jitneys. This will not only
protect the passengers, but the interests
of those who own the cars.
Kenosha and other surrounding towns
have had provision of this kind for
some time.
