Fedtral-state aid road thru La Sale
county was the absorbing topic under
discussion at this mornings session
of the board
VIM, Hull, of Peoria, who more
than any one else is entitled to credit
for securing the federal aid road thru
the Illinois valley, addressed the
board. Mr. Hull stated that this
road was first laid out to go to Rock
ford and Fort Sheridan cantonments
but upon the assurance that the coun-
ties would appropriate one third OF
the cost of this road was changed to
pass thru the Illinois valley One of
the principal inducements offered the
state to cooperate in the building
was the fact that the road went to the
State Park upon a state aid and bond
issue road Ii they had been looking
for short route the road would have
been laid out to Peoria thru Pontiac,
which is 35 miles shorter.
The table of costs which was shown
at the Peoria meeting, was introduced
and explained, copy of which ap'
pears elsewhere in this paper.
Mr.. Hull explained that in the event
this road was constructed and the
bond issue passed. this county would
receive back what ii had expended
together with such amounts have
been placed in improvements, such
as Dimmick hill and the stretches OF
concrete road at other points.
In order to get federal aid the roat
must be a Post road and in order
to get their money returned the roal
must be bond issue road.
The counties of Marshall and Pc
oria made the necessary approprla
ton for this road yesterday.

the railroads of the United States that during the war they would co-ordinata their operations so completely as to- per- feet a unified continental railroad sys- tenn and would merge during the period of the war all their individual and com- petitive activity with intent to produce a maximum of national transportation effi- ciency.
 That pledge was made in mid-Aprdl of this year. That coordination has now been so perfected by the executive cons mittee just named that in addition to the other very great responsibilities which are upon the railroads for transportation they will also be able to move 100000 men to the various training camps established by the government, doing that in three installments each of which will entail no longer than four days time.
 Neither the international bankers who have already assisted Russia nor the government at Washington shares the anxiety and the apprehension of total collapse of all governmental forms inx Russia which Is reported to prevail to| some extent in London. The banlSers) have no fear lest the money they have already advanced to Russia be lost and the government at Washington Is pre- pared to make further advances to Russ sia.
 It is the understanding in the financial district that Great Britain. which, has already aided Russia financially. is not apprehensive- The bonds will be paid some day and probably at maturity. for some kind of stable government is sure to be established in Russia.

all right for Great Britain to have lords, baronets and orders of knight hood. It is in accord with the insti- tutional system of the mother coun- try" But America started out with out lordly titles or sir knights, and it will always be without them. Would it not be better for Senator Overman to leave it to ridicule to accomplish what he seeks rather than write a prohibitory measure on the statute books?
 Now that Great Britain and the United States are allies in the war their fraternal relations have become singularly cordial. And after the war is ended England's sense of grati- tude to this country will manifest itself in many ways. Decorations will doubtless be offered freely to Ameri- cans and maybe a patert of nobility now and then. Snobs would welcome such honors, but genuine Americans, never! The sooner Mir.

LUKE M,LuKE SAYS

A man often wonders why so many
 good looking girls never marry and why
 so many scrawny and sloppy-looking
 danes manage to get married. A good life insurance hustler can make
 prospect believe that death would be
 pleasure if he were insured in the
 hustler's company
 What has become of the old-fashoned contented woman who became reeonciled
 to the ways of the man she married and
 managed to convince herself that she landed good husband? Anyway. even if girl is as flat chested as bed slat, it is q great con solation to know that her hair is natu- rally curly.
 The fact that she could squeeze out real tears whenever she wanted to has put many a perfectly good kitchen me. chanic Into the movies and ended her usefulness.
 Getting the girl to elope may reduce the wedding expenses. But 1t won't reduce your expenses later on so you could no. tice it.
 There are all sorts of people in the world. Including the man who is proud I of the fact that his handwriting is il | legible.
