10 leave chicago, SAID Marjorie, III
an interview. THE last words from
her were: III see you in court, baby,
in the morning"
Marjorie, in her story, told how,
when she left the juvenile courtroom
and went out on the street, her
mother, as she called Nanny
Jackson, left her crying. q noticed
two autos standing by the curb.
Then some one called my name three
times. A lady in one of the machines
beckOned to me. I went to the auto.
Get in said the lady. We won't hurt
you. We are friends of your mother.
We want to take you away from the
court, so you will see your mother
again. I got in. Another lady was in
the auto. Both ladies were white
folks. Then my exciting ride away
from Chicago started"
The child, as well as her guardian,
expressed surprise when a reporter
went to the house. The girl does not
want to come back to Chicago. You
can't take me back" she said.N IF
nv own nanny, on her deathbed,
said that Nanny Jackson was all
right to take care of me, why should
Chicago people interfere? I just
won't let them take me away"
Marjorie says her experience in
leaving Chicago the way she did was
mighty funny and exciting.
There is considerable mystery still
hanging about the case. Nanny
Jackson may be the only person
holding the real key to the puzzle.
Asst States Atty Hogan, attached
to the juvenile court, wired the juve-
nile court of Detroit, asking that the
girl be held as a fugitive.
Hogan says his only desire is to
see that she is in good hands. No at
tempt may be made to bring her back
to Chicago.

MOTHER TURNS ON GAS AND

Fear that her loved ones might
catch from her the dread disease, tu-
bercuIosis, that had it's clutches on
her, led Mrs. Esther Peterson, 25, to
suicide by gas this morning in>her
home, 1854 S. Elizabeth st. She took
to death with her her 4-year-Old son,
Vernon.
Oscar G. Peterson, the bereaved
husband and father, found the bodies
in the bathroom when he arose at

had piled some blankets on the floor,
closed the door, turned on the gas
and laid down to await death with
her child curled up in her arms,
Peterson said his wife had suffered
with the'white plague for years. Two
years ago she went to the Oak Park
infrmary, but the treatment seemed
to do her no good. Since then it has
preyed on her mind. Last night, he
said, she asked him for the first time

MAKING GOOD ROADS.
Highway Eetterment Has Improved the
Value of Farm Land.

value OF arm Lana.
In the results of inquiries made by
federal officers who are supervising the
use of SSO,OOO,GOO appropriated for the
Improvement of roads there is nothing
more instructive and interesting than
the proof that road betterment has
greatly increased the market value 81
farm land, says the New York Times.
A careful investigation was made IN
eight representative counties, covering
a period of five years. The record OF
many actual transactions shows that
the selling price of farm land within
one mile of the improved roads haa
been largely increased, in one county
by 194 per cent, the additions to value
being from two to three times the cost
OF the road work.
The law which apprOpriateS $cO,OOp,'
600 to be expended in five years, with
the condition that states spend an equal
sum in carrying out an improvement
program, has been in effect for rs
months. While only one state has = lei
all the requirements Of it, others b Sye
made q beginning, and all will 9 Ell
tually undertake to do their share. Ii
several states delay is due to the need
of new legislation. Careful prepare

ATTENTION TO CARE OF MILK
Average Farmer Can Apply Principles
of Sanitation as Well as
Small Dairyman.

With the advent of the bacterial
count that is run on milk in larger
cities of the country, and the careful
inspection of dairies by state officials
more attention is being paid to the
care of milk in all phases Of it's pro-
duction.
Although the bacterial count is not
practical for the product of the aver
age farmer the principles of santa
ton can be applied by him, almost as
easily as by the small dairyman. Wash
ing the udder and teats of the COW
and drying them each time with a
clean cloth before milking is one OF
the simplest, and yet most important
steps.
Reliable dairymen have said it Is
impossible for clean milk to be pro-
duced if the mixer works with wet
hands. Almost invariably B. coli "a
cause of intestinal trOubles) will be
found in the milk that is gotten I'M
der such circumstances.

PRODUCTION OF BEST BUTTER
Demand Price Commensurate With
Quality Of Product-Grain-and-
MiII-Feeds Ration.

Make sure that you produce high
grade butter; then form a butter route
and demand a price commensurate
with the quality of the product you
are delivering and the labor thus in
volved in producing it.
A grain-and-mill-feedS ration given
in conjunction with grazing quiets the
COWS at milking time. causes them to
come up regularly to be MIXED, in
creases and enriches the milk flow.
furnishes a manure that is high in
fertilizing elements, and economies
in the amount of pasturage consumed.
Cream that tests from 80 to 40 per
cent butter-fat remains fresh and
sweet much longer than that of n
thinner grade; commands premium
price on the market; makes higher
grade butter; leaves the producer a
greater amount of skim milk for feed
ing to the calves, pigs and poultry,
and takes less fertility away from the
land.

It Is Important That Methods of Per-

1t is estimated that the concrete
roads cost $1J,GG0 Il mile and involve
$50 u mile upkeep. Combined statis-
tics of the road experience of MaSsa-
chuScttS. Connecticut. Rhode Island.
New Jersey and New York for eight
years show an average cost mile of
$G0S year for upkcep for roads built
Of material other than concrete.
The difference in upkecp, sos, if
capitalized at , per cent, gives prin-
cipal sum of $11 ,1GO as the differcntial
capital advantage for the saving in up
keep. Should the movement to con-
struct permanent roads gain Roadway
vast volume of road bonds would
come Oh the market. and on account
of the great agricultural savings ef-
fectcd by good roads over and above
the saving in upkeep such securities
should form an excellent class of in

erly expended. 1t is important only
that methods of permanent construc-

POOR TOWN STREETS.

some comprehensive plan that will in

sive of routes through villages and

torial in Good Roads:
at would seem superfuous to call
attention to the fact that continuous
maintenance is as necessary for the
streets Of the smaller cities and the
larger towns as it is for country roads,
vet it is true that In some sections the
main country roads are in much better
condition than are the city and village
streets. Automobiles are well aware
of this, for it is forced upon their no.
tice every time they enter or leave any
settlement of sufficient size to be in
trusted with the care of its own high
ways.
"a New England town which serves
admirably as an example Of this con-
dition was recently visited by the
writer. 1t is an ordinarily prosperous
community Of some 5000 or 5000 in

region of great natural beauty; 1t has
fine water power, an unexcelled water
supply and many other natural advan-
tages. 1t is served by two railroads
and Is the home Of several large manu-
featuring concerns. 1t has an active
