The pincushion from which our

with cream satin, edged with fine

SERVING SENTENCE

Don M. Roberts, Mayor of Terre Haute,
Indiana, and his co-conspirators, found
guilty of conspiring to steal the November
election in that city, are now serving SEN
tences in prisons
This is the first Government prosecution
Of persons for the wholesale theft of an
election. The district attorney based his
procedure on the fact that in the elections
in which corruption was charged United
States Senator and Congressman were be-
ing voted for.
If the Supreme Court upholds the action,
precedent will have been established
which will be far reaching in it's effects
Impeachment proceedings have been
brought against Roberts as Mayor.

WOMENs' CONFERENCE ENDS

has ended.
1t came to close 'without any serious
disagreement, says Miss Addams, who
was chairwoman Of the congress-
The only thing accomplished seems to
be that the women freed their minds, these
being almost as diverse as the individuals
themselves. Not few of the representa-
tives Of the nations now at war, expressed
themselves stoutly in favor of it, declaring
that peace was unworthy until the princi-
Piles fought for were achieved.
The most that can be said for the con-
gress is that it was harmless.

The Land on the Lake Front is Now Begin
ming to Present the Appearance of
Well Cultivated Farm Land

north of Shiloh Boulevard, on the Lake
Front.
The soil is very rich, and although
mixed with peat, when sand
is added to bind it and it is fertilized
little, the crops which are produced can
probably not be excelled anywhere in
Lake County.
The exhibits at the last Agricul-
tural Exhibit, in this City, proved the
value of this land.
Mr.. Basinger was told by the Cen
eral Overseer and the General Manager
to select some Of the worst land that he
could find on the Lake Front, so as to
demonstrate it's value, and he has given
abundant proof that this strip of land
can be made into some of the finest
farms in this County.
One splendid feature about this land
is that in excessive dry seasons there is
always certain amount of moisture in
it, whereas land that is higher is more
susceptible to the heat and does not hold
the water as it should do.

DEFEAT FOR DRY ZONE BILL

The five mile dry zone bill, before the
Illinois legislature, which, if it became a
law, would make Waukegan and North
Chicago dry territory, was defeated in
the House last Wednesday by vote of
72 to 65.
The bill was fathered by Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, Commandant Moffet of
the Naval Training Station, and all the
anti-saloon interests Of Illinois.
So important piece Of legislation
though meeting defeat for the present, is
bound to come up again, and it is safe to
predict that in the wave of prohibition
sweeping the country, it will ere long re
ceive legislative favor.
AS it now stands, the defeat of the bill
is credited to the liquor interests having
influence at Springfield.

NOT WANTED

Princeton University has refused to in

The reason given is to the point.
After citing instances in which the
charges Of irreverence, sacrilege, bias
phemy and indecency are sustained (and
for which reason they are not given here),
the matter is summed up thus:

SOMEWHAT EXAGGERATED

Fifty millions, it was widely reported,
was the sum this country had contributed
to Belgian relief
This figure is now cut down to seven or
eight million by Arthur T. Adds, chair
man Of the relief commission, who in max
ing his statement naively adds:
From this it is evident that the edito-
rial exaggeration Of America s gifts was
probably not over three-fold and the news
eXaggerations not over skiold"

The portion of Lake Front land,
which is now being cultivated by Mr..
James Innes, is no doubt surprise to
many people who happen to walk down
toward the Lake Front.
He has had sand hauled on to the
land and distributed in the hollow places,
thus levelling off the land making it
appear like a farm that had been till
ed for many years.
Already some Of the crops are
about a foot b bov e the ground, and
stretching out in a southerly direction
for quite distance they look very beau
tiful.
If it is a favorable season, no
doubt the yield from Lake Front land
will be surprise to many this year.
No doubt, it will only be a few
years before the entire Lake Front land
will be under cultivation.

tivate few acres on one Of the ridges

DEFEAT -FOUR JUDGES" BILL

The "Four Judges" bill for the down
state judicial circuits in Illinois was de-
feated in the House this week on third
reading. The vote was So to So, seventy
seven being necessary to pass the bill with
out an emergency clause. The bill would
have added fourth judge to each of the
seventeen downstate judicial circuits, at
an estimated annual increase in the ex-
pense to the state of 100000.
