ROADS ARE IN
DRY CONDITION
State Highways and Through East
ern Iowa Are Fine for
Travel.

All Illinois roads are dry and in
good condition except some dust on
the dirt highways, according to the
bulletin issued by the Chicago Mo-
tor club this week.
Travel on the highways has been
exceedingly heavy and considerable
oiling has been done on many of the
roads. The club reports that in
Iowa rather general rain through
out the northeastern section made
the roads somewhat soft but per-
mitted immediate dragging. Lin
coin highway is practically closed
a distance of Is miles from Clinton
to two miles west of De Witt, the
road being hard surfaced with con-
crete.
Work on the Dixie highway from
Chicago to Danville is completed,
except the 400 yard detour at Ross
vile subway. OF other Illinois
roads, the bulAtin says:
The roads of .north-central I'LL
nois were all good to excellent up
to Saturday with the exception of
some rough stretches in the region
from Mason to Adams counties, and
southwark. The showers Thursday
afternoon were heavy in spots, espe-
cially from central Peoria county
eastward; but reports indicate that
all roads are passable. There is
fresh oil between MaquoR and
Galesburg.
Mid was reported at Shirley, Car
linville and Alton. Roads are be-
ing oiled between Waggoner and
Litchfield, and between Normal and
Towanda. Detour south from Fow-
Ter on Quincy route, and three
miles north of Carlinville. The
hard road is open for traffic from
Springfield 70 four miles beyond
Auburn.
No change has been made in any
OF the routes leading in and out OF
Springfield since last week. The
best way to Decatur is by the way
of Rochester, Buckhart, Roby, Mt.
Auburn and east to Decatur. The
best route for St Louis is by the
way of Litchfield over the white,
orange and white, then to Gillespie,
Bunker Hill, WOODBURY. and Alton
over the Big Four trail and from AL
ton to st. Louis over hard road
The road between Chicago, Lin
coin, Bloomington and Pontiac is
in good condition. A great deal Of
oiling has been done on this road.
Oiling the Beardstown road has
been stared and all roads in the
county will be oiled within the next
two weeks.

HOUSE Rejects
DYEEMBARCO

Washington, July 21.-The three
year dye embargo provision, the
first contested schedule in the
Fordney tariff bill to come before
the house proper for a vote. was
rejected late today, 209 to 1913.
The amendment to put crude and
fuel oil back on the free list was
adopted a moment later without a
record vote.
Asphalt was also put on the free
list without roll call, Chairman
Fordney announcing that the pre-
vious vote on this schedule was so
overwhelming, it was unnecessary
to vote again.
On the first three contested
amendments to 60 before the house
for a vote, the ways and means
committee, which framed the bill,
was overruled in each instance.

London.-.If Lloyd George gets a
haircut, there is much gossip. If
he is i'll and goes to the country for
few days rest, there is great de-
preston.
These statements of recent facts
show how largely the little Welsh
solicitor" who is premier OF the
British kingdom bulks in the pub
lie eye.
If it's true that King George
reigns but does not rule, it's equal
ly true that the other George rules
but does not reign.
Not since the days of Gladstone
and Disraeli has England had a
prime minister upon whose Shout
ders such great responsibilities
have been placed. And no states
man in the present world has
weathered the storms for so long.
All the great war makers and the
great. peace makers have passed.
Wilson is in retirement Clemen-
ceau was defeated when he wanted
to be president. Others are gone.
Lloyd George goes on. Tremen-
dous crises like the coal strike and
the Irish question fail to make him
lose his hold.
How does he do it? How does
he carry the burden without break
ing down his health?
In a country devoted to athletics,
Lloyd George has never been known
as an athlete. His main exercise is
golfing-and he is not on record
as ever having turned in remark
able score. He is not a naturalist,
but he likes to take few friends
out on a hike over the country
roads on Sundays.
Lord Lee of Fareham recently
gave the nation a magnificent

in Chicago Court.

Chicago, July 21.-Suit for di-
vorce against Mrs. Eta He'll.
known as the burglar maid", has
been filed by Joseph S. He'll, Chi
cago broker. On July Mrs. He'll
was placed on a years probation
by the court, after having been
found guilty of 5000 robberies in
Chicago homes where she posed as
a maid. On July IL she attempted
to kidnap her two children after
Mr.. He'll had denied her access to
them.

, country estate called "Chequers, -
| to be used as a country home for
British premfers.
Lloyd Georges relations with the
royal family are probably more in
innate than any premier since the
| famous friendship between Dis
not only close to the king and
queen, but the friend and adviser
of the prince of Wales.
When the prince wants to make
a speech in the difficult Welsh
! tongue, he seeks Lloyd George as
tutor. And he often consults him
about other important speeches.
The premier's greatest friend is
Lord Reading, viceroy of India
Two others are newspaper men,
Lord Riddell, owner of the News of
the World, and Sir Henry Dalziell,
owner of the Chronicle. In his
cabinet his particular cronies are
Sir Gordon Hewart, the attorney
general, and Sir Hamar Greenwood,
chief secretary for Ireland. Sir
Philip Sassoon. one of his seCTe-
taries, an enormously wealthy
young bachelor and related to the
Rothschilds is another intimate.
Lady Nancy Astor also can be
counted as among the premier's
closest friends. Lloyd George has
great faith in the political intui-
tons of women and depend for
advice especially upon his wife and
Lady Aston. This is true now, more
than ever, with women voting in
England.
Those unfriendly to the premier
say he doesn't read; that he doesn't
know history. One of his close
friends told me he is a great read
er.
But it doesn't matter He doesn't

VALUED AT 1897

Gus Fandrey, fisherman, who oc-
cupies a boat on Mill street. is ex-
hibiting what he represents to be a
button" pearl, which he took from
a shell found in Rock river. He
said there is no local market for
them, but that a price commonly
paid is SIS a grain for first class
pearls. This one weighs 1875
grains, which makes its worth
1897, according to his figures. Fan
drey says he has had considerable
experience in hunting pearls in
other waters and selling them.

have to read history. He has been
making it. He doesn't have to read
books. He has been reading men
and events for 20 years. He has
talked with nearly every famous
person in Europe and the United
States, and has treasured the facts
they have told him in his very re-
tentiye memory.
His ability as a hymn singer il
Illustrates his remarkable memory.
Welshmen are mainly Non-Con-
formists, belonging to other Pro-
testant faiths than the Church of
England. They are great hymn
singers and as a race have sweet
voices. Lloyd. George is a true
Welshman, and he knows all the
verses and tunes of scores of
hymns. His voice is a rich bari
tone.
Lloyd George likes to eat. He
prefers French cooking to the
heavy English boiled dinners" and
patronized a French restaurant in
London for years.
Best of all, however, he likes
Welsh dishes. When his digestion
is out of whack, or when he is con-
centrating on some International
problem and has to be careful of
his diet, Mrs. Lloyd George turns
cook. The menu is almost entire
ly Welsh, and it's then that the
premier really enjoys his meals
He doesn't like wine, but he's par
tial to big, black Havana cigars.
Lloyd George doesn't care a rap
about clothes. He's the worst
dresser in the cabinet. Trousers
look as if they had never seen a
presser's. Fact is, the premier is
too busy. Too many bigger things
to look after.
