 should not be limited to less than 60 days with a proviso that 1t could be extended to 90 days by joint resolu- tion. upon the approval of the gover- nor his disapproval to be overcome only by a two thirds vote. A dis- editorial writer recently said that the distrust of the legisla- 'ture was largely due to the haste and confusion of it undertaking to do the legislative business of a large state within the narrow limits of bU days. No legislature, he declared. can do its work intelligently and effi- ciently within the 50 days allotted to iN in . period of four years. Hasty, ill., adyisSd< and ill-digested legisla- ton has been tho necessary result of the present system, unnecessarily limiting the deliberations of the lesisiative body to 50 days.
 Change In Menbership
 .If we would avoid feverish and unseenfly haste and furnish full op- portunity for consideration and de- bate, for reports of committees and hearings and remove the evils which now are the chief sources of public apprehe ension the Quadriennial system must be abandoned. And In the re- organization of the legislature we must make a radical decrease in membership. The house of represen- tatiyes should not be composed of over 30 or 40 members. two or three from each congressional district and 10 from tho state at large. The senate should contain 15 or 20 members, and this m em bership of 45 or 50 members of the entire legislature would be sufficiently large to represent every portion of the state.
 "The present sAlAzy of the lesisla- tor is utterly inadequate; 1t would be better for the state to invite frfee service than to confine the coinpensa. tion of the number to the miserab ble pittance now allowed A member of the houss should be paid not less than $1,S0o year, and U senator not less than t2.ooo, with mileage geing and returning for both.
 With q legislature so constituted; the people would no longer be depen- dent upon the caprice or the interest of the governor in order to exercise their power of ieeisiation. We would discover that the public spirited mon of every continuity would eagerly seek legislative service. and our state legislature would become what tho framers of our institutions de-. signed 1t 10 be "a sensitive and ef- ficisnt instrument for the creation and realization of opinion" which is, after All the real purpoSt Of oss- atftnfi0nal eovAenmAwf"

Mrs. Roy D. Lane, Waukegan, danger
ously ILL., Mrs. Lane bought the coat
last spring and after wearing it two
weeks became very sick. Her head
ached, her throat was discolored and
an eruption appeared on her face,
throat and chest. The doctor pro-
nounced it erysipelas and put the
woman to bed. She recovered in a
couple Of weeks but upon going out
with the fur coat on, took i'll again.
1t was found that inferior dyes in the

fortunate outcome of all of them.
Saturday evening heavy truck and

macadam opposite the Henry Clarson
home, with the result that the Bean
car suffered crushed wheel and was

afternoon. c. A. Neefe, from Viola
vicinity, driving perhaps faster than
is by law permissible, lodged child
at the corner near the Eskin store
! only to hit the passing car of George
Waggoner. Neefe paid the fine for
fast driving and settled for new
fender for the Waggoner car. He
missed the child, which was most
commendable. Later in the evening
during the heavy rain and when the
| lights were off because of the storm,
Hugh Rice, driving his Overland, and
! Leo Anderson, with a horse and
buggy, came together at the junction
of the Brush Greek road and Congress
street, both endeavoring to turn the
corner at the same time. The results
was badly damaged car for Rice and
horse with a broken leg, which
necessitated it's being killed later.

JUNE METEOROLOGICAL NOTES.

The average temperature for June,
rs degrees, is the highest June aver
age for this station. The years of
1890 and 1911 had averages of "a for
June. There have been other years
when temperatures were higher for
short periods in June, but none with
such continuous high temperatures.
There were five days during the first
six, when temperatures were normal
or below, thereafter they were contin-
uously above normal, reaching a max
mum of SO on the 10Th. Monthly
temperatures have now been above
normal for seven consecutive months.
Rainfall was an inch below normal
and was very light during the first %
days. More than half the total amount
fell on the 26th and 9th Precipita-
ton has been below normal for the
past seven months except April which
was well above normal
Sunshine and humidity were prac-
tically normal. There were nine
thunderstorms, but none of unusual
severity. Wind movement was less
than usual, and the greatest velocity
was only II miles per hour.
Moderate river stages were main
tanned throughout the month, begin
ming with a maximum of 81 feet on
the first and falling to 6.3 feet on the
Both.
Sufficient rain fell during the month
for the needs of corn, and the hot
weather caused very rapid growth, so
that at the close of the month corn
was in unusually excellent condition,
and unusually far advanced. Other
crops suffered from the heat and the
lack of moisture. Oats and spring
wheat developed rapidly and were
heading and ripening at the end of
the month, but heads were short and
not very we'll filled. Haying was car
ried on under favorable conditions
and clover and alfalfa yielded fairly
well, but timothy was short and thin
Pastures were short throughout the
month and needed more rain Early
crop potatoes, berries and truck crops
in general developed rapidly but suf-
fered from the heat and drought
