AUTOCRAT|C CRAB
N STATE OF ILLINOIS
ILLINOIS LEGISLATURE MAY
PUT STOP TO "FEUDALISM"
OF FOREIGN LORD
BY ]. 7. Wilson, Special Writer fol
the Williston Graphic

the Williston Graphic
Morris, Illinois, May 12-You have
heard about "feudal estates,' and
lord who ruled over the people
Well
Grundy and Livingston counties in
Illinois are American, counties, but
they have lord who rules over them
Rules them form his castle across the
Atlantic. And rules them with rod
of iron.
He is Lord William Scully.
He rules because he owns most of
these two counties. He owns whole
townships of valuable land. He's the
biggest farm owner in this country
He rents his lands.
Just now his tenants in Grundy
county are up in arms. They are pro-
testing against an increase in rent.
Lord Scully has told them they
must pay $40 an acre instead of Sc
each year.
And he has the whip hand over them
The state legislature may help
them. A bill is being prepared to
do that. Governor Lowden has in
dicated that he will sign it if it pass
eS.
And here are 20 free-born Ameri-
can farmers, as honest and hard
working men as you ever saw any
place. They are married and have
families. Nearly every farmer has at
least one son in the service of the
United States. Most of the boys are
"over there" and in camps here. They
have been patriotic to the core.
But these 20 American farm fami-
lies are subjects" of Lord Scully.
And this is how it came about.
Lord Scully Bought Land at So Acre
Seventy years ago Lord Scully
came to the United States. He had
acquired much wealth as land own
er in England and Ireland.
With 100000 Lord Scully bought
100000 acres of fine Illinois land,
That was So an acre. Remember the
cost!
Lord Scully didn't not do anything
to the land. Never built a barn
Never put up fence. Never planted
tree or cut one down. Just bought
the land and sailed back to. his Euro
pean castle. But he rented the land.
At first he got but a few cents an
acre as rent. He agreed with his

DO You Want Your Kidneys Expert

Kidney troubles are getting more
common every day. Government
health bureau figures say deaths
from this cause are 70 per cen more

Anybody who suffers constant

USE OF PARAvANES
SAVES MANY LIVES
British Invention Which Picked
Up Mines Ahead of the
~ Vessels.

Hundreds of American b~luejackets
undoubtedly were saved from death
because the American warships, while
proceeding through the mine-strewn
seas, were equipped with ~paravanes,
through courtesy of the British admi-
rally.
Fitted with paravanes, the warships
fished out any mines ahead of the
vessels. Novices often mistook the ap-
paratus for %torpedoes. The thing made
a humming sound when adjusted to a
speeding ship, owing to friction.
The paravane consists Of a water
plane shaped like a torpedo. having
q pair of large fiat fins projecting on
either side of its body. The tail is
fitted with rudders to keep the thing
at any set depth. 1t Is towed over-
side by q wire rope which runs from
the ships bows outward. The wire
rope Is intended to pick up the moor
ing ropes of mines and slide them
along till they reach the nose of the
paravanes, where a sharp saw is fixed
inside a V-shaped slot. The saw cuts
through the mooring rope and allows
the mine to float free, where 1t can be
either avoided or destroyed.
Due to the cable and fin arrange.
ment the twin p~aravanes kept diagon'
ally ahead of the vessel. Naval men
say the invention did more than any
other single device to defeat Ger
many's policy of attrition.
