his mother. The Appeal has COM
munfcation from him In which he
states that there is hope of his moth
er's recovery. He found conditions
much changed in the nine years he
has been away. The living conditions
there are as bad if not worse than
here. The last winter was a record
one on the old settlers, who suffered
greatly. He paid glowing tribute to
NJ. N. Goss, Commissioner Of Public
Works. in whose. department he has
held a good position for over. two
years, for his fair treatment Of the
colored people and says he is de-
serving of the support Of all who are

Bagdad, for the slumberous city on the
Tigris has assumed new aspect since
the British drove out the Turks six

Nothing now remains of the filth and
squalor of the Turkish regime. Tho
place IS still oriental but the oriental
atmosphere is less odoriferous. Dead
cats are not left to decompose in the
middle of narrow streets. Great Brit
ain has wonderful way of leaving

The Arab Is not naturally vile, but
he has fallen into the ways of his
Turkish masters. Bagdad is as inter-
esting as ever, and ever so much safer.

will visit the ancient Abbaside capital,
where ruled the mighty caliphs, and
will note with interest the British
benefits bestowed on the city that VIII

A REMINDER TO VOTE.

Even in times of war. the citizen
with his mind set upon the problems
of The great world struggle cannot af-
ford to neglect the questions of inn
portance that lie close at home. The
vote at the recent senatorial primaries
was comparatively small, considering
the Issues involved and the interest
aroused IN the campaign. Many voters
did not go TO the polls. Whatever
their reason foe staying away from
the primary election, all voters of the
state should look ahead to the ques-
tions of public policy placed before
them in the November election. There
will be many explanations, but no legi-
innate excuse if the intelligent 9th
zenship of Illinois should let a ques-
ton like the S60,00o,000 road bond Is
sue fail through failure to attend the
polls in large enough numbers to make
Ii pass. Every man who votes should
take the time to vote yes" on this
question on the little ballot.

The prudent man will have his fur
mace put in thorough order Mt the pres
ent time. Letting it go till fall would
be rash at time when labor is so
scarce as now and when there are sure
to be SO many other people anxious to
have their furnaces put IN order.
There was considerable complaint last
winter of the quality of some Of the
coal. which was explained by the sto-
ries received from the mining regions
of the working over of heaps at the
pit heads, some of which represented
the accumulation of many years. This
winter the coal may contain fewer
impurities, but necessity for getting
the greatest possible return in service
for every pound burned will be obvi-
Gus in view of the rule that consumers
are allowed to purchase only per-
centage of the total amount they used
for heating their houses a year ago.
A furnace that is out of order will
waste a great deal of coal. No one
can afford to have that sort of thing
going on at the present time.

MS SWELLED HEAD REDUCED
Why Recruit at Camp Upton No Long
er Brags of His Prowess With
the padded Mitts.D

A certain husky, raw-boned recruit
from an interior town reached Camp
Upton recently and brought forth tive
sets of boxing gloves. He confided tC
his comrades that he was mighty fine
boxer, and back home" he had thrash.
ed everybody who had tried conclus
ions with him. This declaration nat.
urally was an invitation, and all
promptly professed to know nothing Oh
the manly art and asked If he would
give them a little instruction.
Flattered, the youth stated his viii.
ingness to oblige, and the following
day was set for the lesson. The pupils
promptly hunted up Benny Leonard
the lightweight champion, who was
and is the boxing instructor at Upton,
and arranged for him to meet the re-
eruit. The latter was informed that
he was to give the first lesson to a
very fresh youngster. and he agreed
TO put the unknown in his place. When
Leonard was brought before him he
wanted to back out. stating that he
couldn't think of boxing with a man
SO much smaller than himself.
Leonard, however, insisted that tho
lesson go on, and each put on his
gloves. During the "lesson" Benny
never struck a blow, but contented
himself with feinting, ducking, lodging
and blocking until the volunteer teach.
or was SO exhausted with his own eff
forts that he could scarcely stand. He
stopped finally, congratulated the
champion on his showing, said that he
did very well for an amateur" and
then made his way to the barracks TO
bed. When, later, he was informed of
the identity OF his antagonist, he said
several things more or less compliment
tary to those who lad put up the job

Edward f. Dunno. former governor

Lowden and other state leaders in urg-
Ing the people to vote IN favor of the
good roads bond issue at the election

number of addresses in behalf Of the
propositiel and calls particular atten-

the state should vote for 1t.
Good roads benefit all the people"
says Dir. Dunno. "They affect the PEG

fectly, and | take it for granted That
almost the unanimous vote of the rural
communities will favor the bond is

THE workingman in the city, how
ever, may feel that he doesn't get out
on the country roads very often, and
that he needn't take time TO vote on
the little ballot. That is a mistaken
idea. In the production of the mate
