ILLINOIS ROAD
is IMPASSIBLE
Sonora Township Still Lives In the
Idea Of Letting Somebody Else
Do II, and Hill Is
FriqhtfuI.

Sonora township never did want the
Illinois lake shore boulevard built and
constantly opposed the thing from the
time it was a projected gift from the
Mississippi River Power company. 1t
made the correct forecast that if
l,uilt, the road would have to be given
some attention to keep it up, and that
would cost a little money
The jewel of consistency is treasul.
eJ ND there, it seems, for the Nauvoc
Hustler says:
Since the country roads have been
SO bad, many people We're COM
( elled to take the boulevard from
here to Hamilton, and even this splen-
cid driveway has been in frightful
condition at some places. The Knipe
I'LL was simply tough and almost I'M
passible. During this winter the Sono-
ii. township commissioner says he
spent about $500 on this hill, but 1t
seems it accomplished little results.
There are great ra,ts in the road and
this with the sticky mud, make the
road about impossible The Hagan &
Isundle truck was stuck there for over
c day last week and had to be lacked
I'D and the rllts filled before it could
ne extricated. Nauvoo citizens called
Pqirgner anod Supervisor Balmer OF
Sonora township and they, with q mum
Der of Nauvoo citizens, met together
a.. the hill last Thursday afternoon,
ard the question Of repairing the hill
discussed.
The county commissioner stated
mat while the road had been desig-
rated as state aid road it is still not
o state aid as yet. and no help could De
expected from the state. Supervisor
Banner said that his township had too
many roads to keep UP to pay much at
tention to the boulevard.
Mn BMrgner thought the best way to
fix the road temporarily, would be 20
fill the ruts with large rock and then
cover with a coat of fine rock. The in
tention has been to fix the road by
Nauvooits, and the commissioner, SUI
pervisor and township commissioner
said they had no objection to this.
Hence a subscription will be taken
up in Keokuk, Hamilton, and Nauvoo
for this purpose. Mayor Montgomery
will have charge Of the work, and the
Nauvoo trucks will haul the rock from
nearby quarry; several teams and a
number of men will also be put on the
work and that part Of the road will
soon be in fair condition for travel

Tossing his name In widest eddies
and tangles,
Lon-like March cometh in, hoarse,
with tempestuous breath,
through all the moaning chimneys
and thwart all the hollows and
angles
Round the shuddering house,
threatening OF winter and
death.
But in my heart / feel the life of
wood and meadow
Thrilling the pulses that own kin
dred with fibers that lift
Bud and blade to the sunward, with
in the inscrutable shadow,
Deep in the oaks chill core, under
the gathering DRIFT.
Nay, to earth's life In mine some pre-
science or dream or desire
GLOW shall I name it Alright y
comes for moment and goes
Rapture of life, ineffable, perfect
as il In the brier.
Leafless there by my door, trem-
bled a sense OF the rose.

Moses. of New Hampshire, Republican,

Immediately thereafter, and one OF the
observable results is slight facial

he a material force or factor in ma
tional affairs" The portion Of SEN
ator Moses letter which refers to a
cerebral lesion and the slight facial
paralysis has been reported generally
in Washington for the last week. The
President, 1t is said, has suffered from
time to time with violent twitching
OF his face. This twitching has been
a danger signal to DIR. Cary I. Gray
son, his personal physician, for six
years. He looks upon 1t as sign of
intense fatigue and always has halted
the Presidents activities when he de-
tected II.
The twitching appeared during the
Westernd trip and DIR. GraysOn order
ed the trip to be ended. This contin-
tied for time after the President re-
turned to Washington, but lately sub
sided TO a great extent, II is said.
Meantime, DIR. Grayson is combining
whatever he has to say to meager
bulletins that have been issued con-
corning the Presidents condition.
When Joseph L. Tumulty, secretary to
the President, is approached, he refers
inquirers To DIR. Grayson. Thus far,
so odd bulletins have been issued re-
garding the Presidents condition, but
seldom, If ever, has one exceeded two
sentences. They have been of the
briefest nature in text and character
None has made mention of the pulse,
temperature or blood pressure. as is
the usual custom. No better example
of the type Of bulletins could be given
than the one made public recently:
There is no noticeable change in

Cooperative Banquet
Farmers Entertain Berea Business Men

In his address Professor Cooper
pointed out that there were some
changes in conditions that had
very materially affected farming.
IN the first place, the raise in the
value OF land requires more capital
and demands a larger interest on
the investment. Second, change in
the labor situation calls for higher
wages. The farmer must compete
with other employers-railroads,
factories, etc. There should be no
conflict Of interests in a given COM
munity. Business men and farmers
must work out the problems to-
gether, not in opposition TO each
other. All must boost for the COM
munity. The size of Berea is not
determined by the corporation lin
its but by the size of the farming
community that comes TO IL.
Agriculture is the largest Of all
the businesses in the State Of Ken
lucky. Farmers must speed up
their business by efllciency-by APP
plication Of scientific principles.
Certain lines Of farming ought TO
be developed and improved. For
example. there are five hundred and
eighty-two cream stations in the
State that are sending cream out
OF the state, or TO cities in the edge
Of the state. The creamery bust
ness ought to be developed at home,
where the butter milk could be fed
TO the hogs. Again Kentucky used
10 be first in the production OF hemp;
now it is third or lower. She
would still be able TO hold first
place, if there might be large ma
chinery and modern methods en-
ployed in handling IT, In the matter
of marketing and distributing farm
products, the farmer must have the
help Of local business men.
Mr.. Cooper then spoke OF some
farm problems which, he asserted,
We're state problems, inasmuch as
they affect so largely the whole
would develop agriculture, speak
ing particularly of the need for
standards and grades in farm corps.
Then the matter Of farm credits
should have the attention Of legis-
lators. The Rural Credits Act
should be extended so that men may
move out Of the tenent class into
that OF land owners. Markets ought
to be stabilized so that such tluc-
tuations as are now common might
not occur Recently pork dropped
80 percent in price. Again educa-
tional facilities should be increased.
No spot in the country can afford
To do without adequate education.
Education pays. Lastly, the prob
lem of good roads was mentioned.
Adequate transportation facilities
are necessary to the success OF the
farming industry. Good railroads
must be supplemented by good
roads so that the farmer can profit
ably dispose of his products.

The Last Battle With Whiskey

The putting down of the liquor traffic following our
new prohibition laws has succeeded beyond all our expec
tations All our great cities show dmnution OF crime
pauperism and idleness. And the great manufacture
OF liquor closing out their distileres and putting
their capital into other lines OF business
But there is ahead OF a lively battle with the
sneakers and petty law-breakers. There men just
mean enough prefer make money by the secret man
ufacture OF liquor than by honest work. and 1t is to be
feared that good many OF the magistrates, whose bust
ness il to arrest these voators OF law, themselves
ready to share their profits taste their products
Il is time for all good citizens to watch our mags-
trates and back up those who do their duty and replace
those who do not
