MAKING THEM PARTNERS

Make your daughter your
partner. the Country Gentle
man advises the farmer. 1t is
demonstrated in the article that
daughters make good partners,
that they rise to responsibility,
develop under confidence and
tend to stay on the farm In which
they have a personal and finan-
cial share.
About thesame time, the Mary
land Farmer prints a poem in
which a stranger asks the farm
boy, now a town dweller. Why he
bolted. There is a lot of the
poem. but a few lines will give
the gist of the boys reply:
! left my dad. his farm, his plow,
Because my calf became his COW;
l. left my dad twas wrong, Of
course
Because my colt became his horse;
! left my dad to SOW and reap
Because my lamb became his sheep;
! dropped my hoe and stuck my fork
Because my pig became his pork;
The garden truck that made grow
Was his to sell and mine to hoe.
So the boy went to town, not
because he liked smoke and dirt
and noise. but because he wanted
something that was his own.
There Is a lot of hard truth in
II all, and 1t applies to other
places beside farms.
Cooperation makes for content
ment. An interest in the busi-
ness for which one has toiled
makes all the toll worth while.
Nobody who has attained to
years of discretion, and who has
any ambition, is going to remain
contented very long where an
other reaps all the fruit of his
labor. Arizona Star.

SEWER SYSTEM NEEDED

What Stafford needs more than
anything else, is a sewer sys-
TEN and it needs it right now.
Conditions of drainage with pres
ent system of cess pools are
rapidly reaching the point where
disease will become rampant thru
the spread of fever germs that
will take a toll that will be APP
palling, unless something is done
and done soon to prevent such a
calamity.
It is q positive fact, that owing
to irrigation and the seepage of
canals that the waters are rising
close to the surface in many
places in the down town district,
and new cess pools have had to
be dug on many places in the
district above the railroad tracks
on much higher ground.
In the down town business Sec
ton Of the town, there are many
places now on which no more
cess pools can be dug. and II =
chance 10 taken and one is dug,
It must 70 deeper than water
level to insure any chance what.
ever of holding the overflow from
kitchen sinks. bathrooms and
closets, and then with the con-
slant rising underground flow Of
water it is only a matter of a
short time when it is overfowing,
becomes a breeding place for
mosquitoes and sends out a
stencil that smells worse than an
unwashed Bolsheviki.
The rising waters, carrying the
drainage from privies, closets
and sinks make it absolutely i'm
possible now to drive a well for
water for drinking or household
purposes. 1t would be positively
dangerous.
The remedy. the only remedy,
is a sewer system that will take
care of all the matter that. now
goes into cess pools, and until
this is accomplished every cess
pool in town is a standing menace
to health.
The taxpayers of the town
should hold public meeting in
conjunction with the common
council and discuss plans for an
up-to-date sewer system, and
there should be no delay in hold
ing this meeting.
Ithas been stated that no other
town ID the State presents such
an easy problem to solve as a
sewer system. The cost would
be less here than in many other
places and the way to get it-a
bond issue would be easy to ac-
complish. M
BY all means let's have a meet
ing of taxpayers and discuss the
proposition for a sewer system
for Stafford.

HIGH FOOTBALL
WARRIORS HOLD
FIRST PRACTICE

A good-sized squad of hopeful
gridirCn warriors responded to the
first call for candidates for the
Aledo high school eleven yester-
day afternoon. Much new material
was on hand for the initial work
out as well as several experienced
veterans, who will form a nucleus,
around which it is expected a
strong, smooth-running machine
can be formed.
Superintendent of Schools Ray
C. Pellet assures the high school
men that he will have man in a
short time to coach them. Joseph
Chada of Chicago. former Uni
versity of Chicago star, had ac-
cepted the position, but wired Mr..
Pellet at the last minute that he
would not be able to come. The
men worked out yesterday under
the direction of several high
grads, former stars of the green
and white. The practice was only
light yesterday, the men passing
and kicking the pigskin.

HOME BETTERMENT
LECTURE SERIES
IN WINTER PLAN

The Better Home institute,
headed by Ross Crane, chief of the
extension department of the Art
Institute, Chicago, will be a winter
educational feature in Aledo this
year.
Announcement of the coming of
the institute was made this morn
ing by Miss Elsie Gildersleeve, ad-
visor of the Home Improvement
association. The probable dates
for the institute are Dec. Is, Is
and II.
A three days course of lectures
and demonstrations in interior
decorating. house planning. land
scape gardening. and a collection
of famous pictures. will be offered
by the institute. The general pub
lie will be admitted TO all sessions
at a nominal admission fee.
1t is estimated that the cost of
bringing the institute to Aledo
will amount TO about $500. but it is
expected that the expense will be
met by the attendance Mr.. Crane
has been touring the south, and
will show at Kansas City before
coming here.

RESPONSIBILITY
ON FUND DRIVE
AIedO Organization to Make Active
Campaign to Raise S4,4c0 for
Salvation Army.

= Definite decision was reached at
a membership meeting of the Aledo
club last evening to make an active
campaign to fill Mercer county's
quota of $4,000 in the Salvation
army drive, which opens Sept. %
and continues through the 29th.
The quota for the entire state is
$2,550,000

tended by representative Mercer
county men and confidence was ex-
pressed that the sum would be
raised without any difficulty. The
campaign in Mercer county will be
waged by townships with canvass
ing teams competing against each
other
Elect Officers.
An executive committee of three
men, Laon McWhorter, ]. o. Free
man and ]. NJ. Greers, all Of Aledo,
was named to lay plans for the
drive and to select a general chair
man. Mr.. McWhorter was like
wise elected treasurer and Mr..
Freeman secretary.
A committee of three, c. NJ.
Wells, c. o. Freeman and c. c.
Lutrell, representing the Aledo
club. appeared before the Mercer
county board of supervisors yester-
day asking the board to take up
the appointment OF township chair
men for the drive which is to be
undertaken for MERGERS quota of
$4,4O0 of the Illinois S2,250,000 Sal
walton army fund campaign the
latter part of this month.
No immediate action was taken
by the board, members taking the
matter under advisement. Decision
will probably be returned today.
1t was voted to grant an appro-
priation of $3.50 TO the Home I'm
provement association. Bills were
submitted and allowed. Transac-
ton of routine business consumed
the remainder of the afternoons

NO ADVANCE IN
HEATING Rates
State Public Utilities Body Sus-

pIicatiOn for Increase.

Aledo consumers will not be
forced to meet an advance in heat
ing rates this winter, at least.
According to action taken by the
public utilities commission, the ap-
plication of the Illinois Northern
Utilities company for an increase
approximately doubling the rate
now in force. was suspended with
out action until next March.
The present rate is 70 cents per
1000 pounds of condensation as
basis. This rate is effective per
customer.
Action of the state body is con
strued as virtually victory in this
Instance for the city officials Of
AIedo, who. since notice was given
by the company of effort to be
made to increase existing rates,
have bitterly opposed the Illinois
Northern before the state commits
sion. Leaders of the city forces

They were ready, he said, to pay

it was signed House and mission,
it was not sent. The colonel gave it

CORN PRICE IN
UPWARD SWING

Follows Rise of Pork and Also Ell
feet of Opinion That Selling
Has Been 0TerdOne.

Chicago, Sept. 12.-Corn prices
took an upward swing today, in
fuenced largely by an advance in
the hog market. Besides, promin-
emit traders expressed the opinion
that selling of late had been over
done and had more than discount
ed all bearish factors. Complaints
OF car shortage tended also to
stimulate buyers Opening prices,
which ranged from the same as
yesterdays finish to lAc higher,
with September at 1881 to 1854
and December at 1854 to i.2612,
were followed by moderate gains
all around.
In the later dealings, support
became exhausted and the market
underwent a sharp setback, which
carried September down more than
8 cents. December and May, in
<hich most of the trading took
place. fell to the lowest level yet
this season. The close was weak,

tember 145 and December 1924

Oats rose with corn. Offerings
were liberal. but were well alb
sorbed. After opening unchanged
TO &c higher. including December
at Tic TO 7112c, the market contin-
ued to ascend.
Provisions were strengthened by
the advance OF hogs and grain.
Most of the trading was in lard.
