Mitchell Gives His Views.
One of the most important factors
holding back ''the turn is cancella-

John j.. Mitchell. chairman of the
board, Illinois Trust & Savings, Mer-

A leading merchant suggested that

The General Feeling.
There is a general feeling that the

sterilization of prices and revived
buying on the part Of the public. The
question OF unemployment, of course,
enters into the buying problem. I'm
employment in this section, however
has not reached the proportions OF

respect than November and January
is expected to be as bad if not worse
than Deccinper--noDody seems dowr

WOULD AWARD POLICE
KILLING CRIMINALS
Sounds Cold Blooded, But
It's Needed" Says Chi
cago Alderman.

Chicago, Dec. 81 Omitted News).-
In the last few weeks three Chicago
policemen have been shot and killed
by bandits.
In each case the policeman was re-
luctant to use his gun.
Now comes Alderman Joseph O..
Kostner with a plan, which he will
recommend to the city council We'd
nesday, to change the situation.
Any policeman who kills a criminal
would be promoted and given raise
in salary under the plan.
Sounds cold blooded, doesn't it?"
said Alderman Kostner Sunday. But
it's what is needed. Old policemen,
especially, hesitate about shooting.
They've got to be educated up to the
prompt use of the gun.
1.-THE robbers aren't slow with their
guns. Why should the police give
quarter?"
The alderman says Chief Of Police
Fitzmorris approves the plan

HARD AT WORK IN BELGIUM
Coal Mining and Other Industries Are
Being Rapidly Put IN q
Normal Basis.

The Belgian coal mines are now turn
Ing out about 80 per cent Of the nor
NAL production. They supply nearly
all the coal needed for the Belgian
industries. while some $4,000 tons Of
coal a month are exported to France.
Then the great glass industry of the
Country, which before the war gave
work to many thousands, is rapidly
regalning Its former prosperity. and
only quite recently the French minis
try Of reconstruction gave an order
to a single Belgian firm for 100000
square meters of window panes, to be
utilized In the devastated regions. The
of all this is that whereas. at
the time OF the signing Of the armIs-
tice. the French franc was worth ITO
or eve LIS francs in Belgium. It is
worth 95 centimes. Belgium,
moreover. is very far from combining
her efforts TO France. Great Britain Is

Belgian goods. while the United States
recently placed an order in Belgium
Tor more than 300, 600, 900 francs worth
Of glassware.

KEEP ROADS IN GOOD REPAIR

Every farmer should feel his de-

he should take an interest in the
nearest one to his farm or the road

chard and garden products.

have an agreement so each farmer
will drag the road in front Of his
