WATERWAY A

GOV. L0WDEN
illinois Executive Carries Project
to Success After Others
Fail.
LINKS LAKES TO MISSISSIPPI
lmprovemsnt Of Vast importance to
Mississippi Valley and Northwest
All Bars 10 Actual Con-
struction Removed.

One Of the outstanding achievements
tratiOn In Illinois was the putting
through OF the Illinois waterways prof.
sct which will cost $2OOOO,OOO and
provide Water connection between the
Great Lakes and the Mississippi river.
The project has been under discus
sion for more than 20 years. and
several state administrations have
struggled In vain with this important
problem. II remained for Governor
LOwden to carry the great improve
ment through to success.
The last bar to the project was re-
moved January Is with the issuance
Of permit by the secretary Of war
authorizing the state to proceed at
once with the Improvement. The be-
ginning OF actual construction work
and completion Of the water link at
last becomes q visible goal Tremen-
dOus benefits will be realized by all
classes Of business interests in the
Mississippi valley as the result Of
the opening Of the water route.
"The waterway will be of immense
value to farmers of the great produc-
ing region Of the entire Mississippi
valley aud the Northwest" Governor
Lowden said. 1.-THE Illinois project
will be In accord with the improve
ment Of the Mississippi, Ohio and Mis-
souri, rivers by the federal govern
ment for navigation. Locks will be 600
feet long. 10 feet wide, accommodate
Ing fleets OF barges carrying $500 to
5000 tons Of freight, the equivalent
of six to eight average train loads.
Before the war and the increase
Of rail freight rates a ton Of freight
was carried a thousand miles by wa
ter as cheaply as fifty miles by rail.
This Is fair indication Of the benefit
to be afforded the public by the work
now enhanced by the government re-
Quirement Of interchange Of freight by
railroad at suitable water terminal
points throughout the country"
The waterway will follow the
drainage canal from Chicago to Lock
port from which the connection will

FOR INDEPENDENCE.

During Colonial days, in the
beautiful hills Of New Jersey,
there stood an old homestead.
The house was built Of logs and
rough lumber with large fire.
place at each end. There were
windows along all four sides Of
the building.
Peach and cherry orchards
stretched away toward the
west, while on the east there
were fields Of corn and wheat.
On the north there was a
grove Of beautiful spruces and
balsams. whose branches swept
the very ground. When the
wind played in the branches of
these beautiful trees it made
the sweetest music to be heard
At the south there was the
river. That river was the most
wonderful river in the world
so thought the inmates of the
house on its bank.
Here. a family of FIVE lived
simply and comfortably. There
was Mr.. and Mrs. Stanton. and
their children: George. who
was twenty; Leo. aged sixteen;
and little girl whose name was
Martha.
When England taxed the CO.
lonies everyone thought it un-
just and cruel.
From the first the Stantons
had been true to their country
and to their rights.
1t was in the late fall of the
year l777. The crops had all
been taken in. The apples were
stored and everything was ready
for winter.
Mr.. Stanton. George, and Leo
were going as volunteers to fight
for liberty.
Two days before the time to
go a long fall rain began and
there was more than one person
who thought:
The chill rain is falling. the
nipped worm is crawling,
The rivers are swelling. the thun-
der is knelling
For the year"
When at last the day came for
the father and sons to leave
home it was still raining.
After many fare-wells and
tears they were ready to go.
Mrs. Stanton said. Maybe
will not see you for a great
while. maybe never in this
world" here there was a catch
in her voice, but l know 70,
shall fight bravely."
Eyes. we will, mother" SAFE

But the father said nothing

As they passed down tn
porch steps and went slowl
down the path. Leo slipped hi

they walked ahead George wall

since the STATIONS went to war.
1t is autumn and the peaches
and cherries are ripe. The trees
bend over and the branches hang
low with fruit. The wheat
field is a great golden sea Of
wealth, health. and beauty.
The wind plays in the spruces
and balsams just the same as be-
fore the father and sons went
away.
Who is that lady sitting on the
porch with her hands folded in
her lap? That woman with the
lines Of suffering and care in
her face? She looks worn and
worried but there is flash in
her eye and something in the
poise Of her head that tells that
she is thinking Of something of
which she is very proud. And
has she not something of which
to be proud? Has not her coun-
try beaten the foe and won IL
berty and independence? 1t has!
That causes the proud flash in
her eye.
Now her glance turns to the
dark spruce grove where her
husband and her two sons dis
appeared three long years ago.
Her eyes swim with tears and
she clasps her hands on her
breast. She knows they are
safe but she does not know when
they will return to her.
A little girl Of about eleven
years comes flying up the path
as if she had "Mercury's magic
sandals. She cries. "Oh. moth
err! mother! there are three sol.
&ers coming up our road!"
Well does Mrs. Stanton--for
lit is she know who it is and
the tears stream down her
cheeks and a smile comes to her
lips as she says softly. Thank
God that He has spared my
dear ones!"
She rises to her feet ss three
men emerge from the spruce
grove. She sees her husband.
Who is that tall youth walking
beside him? Can that be her
little boy. Leo? A low cry es.
capes her lips as she realizes
that II is.
| Mrs. Stanton walks down the
steps and waves her hand t
them. George compares the
picture he sees now with the
one he saw as he was leavin,
home three long years ago. Blu
Mr.. Stanton. and Leo know moth
ing Of these thoughts.
The golden sunshine filters
thru the leafy trees and tn,
ground is flecked with sun
J shine and shadows.

! we know is that the SUNSHINE
