The Illinois Riot.

ihS IhlHOlo niOl'
Illinois is the scene of what will
probably so down as the most deadly
riot between the races ever recorded
in this country. Certainly it is great
er than any riot that ever occurred
between the races in the South. The
nearest approach to it in the South
was the Atlanta riot in 1906, when
less than twenty persons were killed.
There is another ana still more
striking difference between the Illi-
nois riot and the Georgia riot. That
difference lies in the causes of the
riots.
In Atlanta series of assaults upon
white women by vicious Negroes
crazed by vile grade Of whiskey and
cocaine, led to a series of lynchings.
Then the race riots occurred
But what had the Negroes done in
the Illinois town? They had left the
comparatively peaceful atmosphere of
Southern farms and southern cities
to go knocking at Illinois doors to
announce their arrival to take the
hish-wage jobs which they had been
told were waiting for them. They
were fallen upon by the whites who
did not want Negro competition
Several persons were killed in the
first clash few days ago. That was
the match which touched off the
powder charge.
Today nearly thirty persons are
known to be dead about three hun.
dred wounded, and scores of houses
are in ashes in the Illinois town as
the result of a revengeful plot on
the part of the distracted and bede.
viled Negroes. Illinois white men
are responsible for this tragedy. Had
they been as tolerant of Negro labor
as the white people of the South
usually are, not Negro would have
been killed, not house burned, and
no stain have fallen upon the fairly
good name of Illinois. The Illinois
National Guardsmen finally quelled
the riot, but they did not fall into the
grim work with that sincerity and de
termination, which, ii felt, might
have halted the fiends before they
CHASTITY work had proceeded so far.
The authorities are striving to pre-
vent photographers from taking pic
lures of the rioting district. East st
Louis does not want that kind of ad
vertising." Indeed, not! The bes
citizens of East ST. Louis do not wan
that kind of advertising, but thu
criminal element, which appears tt
be such an influential factor in Eas
st. Louis, does not shrink from tina
kind of advertising. 1t stands ready
presumably, to repeat the tragic
events of Monday, on the first ex
cuses, ready to do any murder anC

inexpensive Table Decorations.

Wherever we drop in for afternoon
tea we Just naturally gravitate toward
a table that CLOVIS with a candle under
a pretty shade. Small vases or bas-
kets Of flowers have almost as strong
a lure and every hostess knows that
nothing else adds so much to her table
as lights and flowers. So every year
those who make business of manu-
featuring table decorations bring out
new variations in the use Of silk or
paper for shades and something new
in receptacles for flowers.
The pretty flower basket shown
above requires only deft fingers and
paper rope to make it. The rope is
woven over a wire foundation and the
small basket carries an ordinary wa
ter glass. When the basket is woven
of gray or brown or ivory color or
green rope, according to the prefer
ence of its maker, 1t Is vanished with
shellac. Either real or artificial flow
ers, with fresh or preserved ferns,
make up the bouquets that adorn liv-
ing rooms and dining tables these days.
Bouquets of artificial flowers are
fashionable and serve to help brighten
the house. with the approval Of fas-
tidious people. There Is a great vogue
for them in fact, especially for those
that copy closely old-fashioned garden
flowers like the aster and marigold,
the daisy and chrysanthemum-and, of
course, always the rose.
The candle shades and roses shown
In the picture are made of fine crepe
paper and much like the candle shades
of last year or any other year, except
that the candle light filters through
two thicknesses Of paper in two shades
of the same color, with the lighter
shade on the inside. At the left a
candle shade is made Of large rose
petals in rose pink and each petal is
lined with paper in q lighter pink.
here are small roses and rose leaves
set about the shade near its top. Soft
shades of purple and lavender together
make lovely shades Of this kind. The
shade at the right is even simpler. II

In many counties the agents instruct

the farmer and then has the farmer
vaccinate a number under his direc-
ton. The farmer vaccinates the 9TH
er hogs himself and returns the in
struments to the farm bureau office.
Serum Is sold by the bureau to the
farmers Mt cost. In this county IS per
cent Of the 1,737 hogs vaccinated un-
der the direction Of the agents were
saved. Before county agent work was
undertaken there, hog vaccination for
cholera was practically unknown.
In Seward county, Nebraska, the
farm bureau also lends instruments
for vaccination to farmers and sells
serum at cost. In Allen county, In
diana, thorough publicity is given the
presence OF hog cholera in a neighbor-
hood In order to stimulate interest In

gives an illustrated talk on the ma

cholera, presenting 1t as a community

eprsad Of Disease Prevented.
The special value Of such organiza-
lions Is that the disease is caught in
the beginning and eliminated before 1t
has had time to infect all hogs in a
herd or spread to neighboring herds.
The agent in Nngsbury county, South
Dakota, reports that last year Is diff
ferent outbreaks occurred. with a loss
Of 154 head, whereas In 1915 1880 head
were lost from cholera. In this coun-
ty the community organization plan
was followed. In johnson county, In
diana, where community meetings were
held, the result has far exceeded the
country agents expectations, accord
ing to his report. Farmers co-operat.
ed heartily In preventing the spread
of the disease, farms were thoroughly
disinfected, hogs were vaccinated
early, neighbors were notified of out
breaks in order that they might pro
tect their own. herds, and in conse.
quence there have been less than 30
cases of cholera in the county this
year, and in no instance has the dis.
ease gotten beyond control.

Hog cholera killed enough animals

loss Is unnecessary. for hog cholera
can be prevented to a large extent.
a. has been demonstrated by county
agents working through the United
States department of agriculture and
state agricultural colleges, In the
northern and western states.
Hog cholera prevention and control
are possible through vaccination. dis
infection and the quarantine Of infect
ed herds. The local conditions largely
determine the methods Of procedure
By the agents. They work with groups
of farmers, teaching them how to
vaccinate their hogs. confine and quar-
antine their herds. and disinfect their
premises. The most effective cam
paigns, perhaps. have followed the
uniting of the farmers into organiza-
lions by the county agents. Frequent
~ these are farm bureaus with COM
nitteemen under each community.
This 70 pronounced an ideal organiza-
ton to promote educational work rela-
Viye to cholera. Cholera control clubs
are very effective when first organ
Led and at work. but when cholera
disappears from the county the or

Reports to the department Of agri-

The best line Of the new. frocks Is as
diversified as one can imagine. There
are belts Of all degrees Of width. There
Is still the beltless frock that has q
girdle drawn loosely about the hips,
and there are occasional high-waisted
belts. The tendency in the new frocks
Is to emphasize the normal waistline,
however, and this probably. means the
persistence Of the separate belt Of
leather or embroidered silk.
