.LOMDEN CUTS
 TAXES THIRD =. IN IN. TWO I'l!I YEARS
Illinois Executive Shows That Business Methods More Than
 counteract High Prices. :
4 RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENTS
Executive Departments Consolidated -Business Men Put in Office Sound Financial Policy Ap-
 piled to State
 Affairs.

Gov. Frank O. LOWden's great rec ord as war executive of Illinois has made him one of the leading candi- dates for the Republican nomination for president. It is a story of admin istrative achievements. Every pledge to the people ms been redeemed.
 Despite high prices and unsettled conditions due to the war, Gov. Low den, by the practical application of business methods to the management of the states affairs, reduced the tax rate ln Illinois 33 per cent in two years. His friends are certain that he can do for the nation what he has done for Illinois in the matter of good government and lower taxes if he is given the opportunity.
 When Governor Lowden assumed of flee as executive of Illinois in Janu- ary, 1917, the state treasury was prac- ticalIy bankrupt There was only $55O to the credit of the general fund, when outstanding bills had been paid. One of his first official acts was to abolish many political jobs by com bining the work of 125 different de partments and bureaus into nine com pact central departments. Gov Low den also had the state adopt budget system which he thought would be a model for other commonweaIths. He placed business men and trained ex- perts in charge of each of these de- partments with gratifying results to the taxpayers.
 The cost of conducting the state government was reduced hundreds of thousands of dollars year while the quality of service to the public showed a marked improvement. The effects of a business administration in the state were manifest in a short time. The state gradually built up a cash balance and was able to discount it's bills.
 As a practical illustration of what good government means it is officially estimated that Illinois will have a cash balance of S9,S77, ,225 on hand July l, 1920, in spite of a reduction of 33 per cent in the tax rate This is what Gov. Lowden's business admins tration has done for Illinois.
 In addition to these things Gov. Lowden succeeded in accomplishing these concrete results:
 Began work on the states S6O,OOO,- I 900 good roads system. Two hundred miles of good road were built last year. One thousand miles will be completed in 1920.
 Authorized the beginning of work on the last link of the states system of waterways, which will connect the, Great Lakes with the Mississippi river.
 Obtained needed tax reforms for the people
 Reorganized the states penal and Institutions on a humane basis. fa
 Brought about constitutional con vention for Illinois, which is now in session forming new basic law for the state
 Friends of Gov. Lowden believe that actions speak louder than words, and they point to his public record as evi- dence that he Is the type of man need ed for president in this critical period | of the country's history.

SUCCESS IN SHEEP BUSINESS
Health Is of Primary importance and Internal Parasites Should Be
 Guarded Against.

<Prepared by the United States Depart
 nent of Agriculture.)
 In any system of continuous farm sheep raising the health question is of primary importance. This question is chiefly one of internal parasites, and of these the stomach worm is tbemost widely distributed and the most seri- ous Fortunately, the trouble Is en- tirely susceptible of practical control. and the methods of prevention are exactly in line with the practices that result in most economical production It is possible, though doubtful, that the permanent farm flock can be main tained in maximum health when grazed entirely on permanent grass pastures. A system of division of grass land into sufficient parts to allow frequent long periods without sheep and use of longer grass for cat- tie will assist materially. Such a plan, combined with occasional use of medicine to prevent too serious in- lection, may prove to be practical.
 The basis of success in the farm sheep business is in the frequency or changing to pastures which have not had any opportunity to become in- Tested with stomach worms by older sheep. These frequent changes are particularly necessary during the stay of the young lambs upon the farm The older sheep are less susceptible to the effects of the infection, though danger of their being injured thereby is not to be overlooked. The plan of frequent changes to fresh feed can be adapted advantageously to the most economical systems of using high priced land in the rotation of crops to produce feed and forage for other kinds of live stock.

Salt poisoning of hogs is not Of rare occurrence according to an ar ticle by H.- c. H. Kernkamp. Univer- sity Farm, St. Paul, reprinted from the Cornell Veterinarian. Pigs, says Mir. Kernkamp, should not be given salt as other farm animals are When ever salt is used for pigs it should be mixed with the feed or used as one of the ingredients of a tonic or conditioner. It should never be placed in container alone where the hogs have free access to it.

The property being out of the

SUbME reed WIRE
TO REACH DOCKS
New Device Being Used In
Harbors On Eastern Coast
to Guide Ships When the
Weather Is Thick.


New York, Aug. 10.-The prin-
ciple of follow the green line"
used successfully by the manage
ment of New York's subway sys-
tenn in handling crowds at longest
ed transfer points has been adapt
ed in a measure to insure safety to
ships at sea around crowded har-
bors. Instead of a visible green
line however, a device has been
perfected whereby vessels seeking
their way into harbor in thick
weather can follow with safety a
submerged and energized wire.
In the outer reaches of New
York harbor where deep water
meets shoals there begins marine
passage way known as Ambrose
channel. This channel leads up
through the narrows into the inner
harpor and to the docks and in this
channel the guiding cable has been
laid. Ships properly equipped to
take advantage of its guiding
powers can follow it through any
kind of weather with the same de-
gree of assurance as can the pas
senger who seeks to make his way
from Grand Central terminal to
Times Square.
Cable Sixteen Miles Long.
The device consists of cable
sixteen miles long laid in the CEN
ter of the channel. 1t is energized
with an alternating current from
the shore. Ships to take advantage
of it must be equipped with audi
phones or listening devices attach
ed to the hull. Approaching the
channel the sound waves emitted
by the cable can be heard for some
distance, and the increasing or de-
creasing strength of the sound en-
ables the ship to be steered until 1t
is right over the source. 1t is then
a simple matter to follow its course
through the dredged channel de-
spite storm or fog which would
make the marking buoys invisible
or would tend to confuse the
warning notes of automatic bell
and whistle markers.
This cable is but an additional
protection for shipping entering
American ports. 1t supplements
the radio compass installed and
operated by the naval communica-
tons service now in successful use
all along the Atlantic coast. BY
the compass ships can ascertain
their exact position in any kind of
weather. Another protection re-
Gently tried out by the navy depart
ment is a machine for determining

LODGING HOUSES
NOT PATR0N|ZED
Since the Country Went Dry
There Is a Demand For
Private Rooms With Baths
and All ConvenienceS.

ny MORNING JouShAL SPECIAL LEASED HiREl
Chicago, Aug. 10-Demand for
private rooms, with sunshine and
hot and cold running water, has
supplanted that for dime flop
among wayfaring working men
since the country went dry, accord
ing TO the observations of the sal :
walton Army.
Lieut.. Col. Emil Marcussen, head
of the industrial department of
the army for the states west of the
Mississippi, said today.
THE day of the dormitory, or,
more accurately. the flop house"
has passed. The kind of men who
used to come to us seeking free
beds or glad to get them for dime,
now ask for private rooms. Since
prohibition became effective ] have
closed several of our working mems
hotels, including one in Chicago
and another in Kansas City.
There is a real need for good,
modern hotels for men at reasona-
BILE prices, and those which we have
are run on such lines. Our Work.
ing Mems Palace in Chicago has
ST. beds. Three years ago, we
would have found ten or twelve
men in the place with bank ae-
counts. Last month, there were
312 men in that hotel who carried
bank books.
"In those days, in cleaning out
the dormitories where the tram
sients slept we would find many
empty bottles on the floor. Now II
is very seldom that a bottle shows
up. The story is the same in every
city, from Chicago to the Pacific
coast.
las for the industrial homes,
they used to contain many young
men who ceased to be producers,
and who had to be made over,
sometimes by long and painstak-
ing process, into good citizens and
wage earners. To-day there is hard
ly an able bodied man in any IN
dustrial home in the United States.
"The men who are there are
nearly all permanently disabled TO
some degree. or they are convaies-
cents from hospitals who are una
BILE to do an ordinary days work.
These men are not only able to
take care of themselves, but. even
to save a little from their earnings.
There Is room in every indus
trial home. The Chicago home is
not half full. That is why the SAL
walton Army is able this year,
through its home service program
to extend an offer of the facilities
of these homes in every small com.
munity in the west"

The express decision applies to
all express employees with the eX-
ception of $500 shopmen who
were given a Is cents an hour m
crease in the railway award last

so well paid as men in other lines
of railroad work.
