FARMERS AND BOARD
OF TRADE ARGUE IN
ILLINOIS CAPITAL

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,. April oS.-Illi-
rois farmers DIVIDED the legislative
halls here Wednesday, in an organized
fight on the Chicago Board of Trade.
The floor of the senate and galleries
we're jammed with farmers wearing
badges representing the various coun-
~ farm bureaus nd, for the first time
since the farmers bill was introduced,
the Board of Trade was represented
by speakers on the floor. AS an
Illinois corporation the board is ec'end
able to the state laws and are now
making a fight to retain all their
future" trading. which is the crux of
the whole matter
Argued For Five Hours.
Represent atives of the Board argued
their side Of the controversy for FIVE
hours Wednesday afternoon. The farm
ers listened intently but made no
demonstration.
The contention of the Chicago board
is that the present is no time to de-
stroy the recognized system or method
of marketing, and that Ito abolish the
prevailing system, without any substi-
Itute whatever would produce disorder
that would wreck the entire system OF
supply and demand" The answer to
the delegation Of farmers by the agri-
cultural committee is still in doubt.
The Lanz bill has been before the
house for several weeks, but is still
in committee.

cleared almost as for action, precau-
ton always taken at sea.
1t was a few minutes past o'clock
when the Pennsylvania. passing the
reviewing ship. opened up the thun-
der of her presidential salute and be-
fore the 81 guns had been spent, the
next ship in line took up the firing
while the Mayflower's batteries spoke

continued in an almost unbroken roar
until the review was over.
1t was Mr.. Harding's first review of
any part of the nations sea power
since he assumed office and was the
navy's first opportunity to salute him.
From the proud flagship Pennsylvania
down to the humble beef boats" and
from admiral down to bluejacket, ships
and men were alert for the occasion.
Before the fleet entered the Virginia
cape, the Mayflower, which came down
from Washington last night with
President and Mrs. Harding and their

Saiads are more and more a part of the ordinary American dietary. Perhaps we haven't reached the de- gree of salad eating that some Euro peanS have. In an Armenian restur- ant in any of the larger cities here you might see how the people of that part of the world eat salad. They have a whole head set before them well washed and crisp. They break off two or three leaves at a time, wrap D about them a piece of their almost paper-thin bread, dip the ends of the leaves in sour milk-and fall to munching like a rabbit. The whole lettuce disappears with surprising ra- pidity. and of course the concoction Is exceedingly wholesome.
 We'll, maybe we don't go in for let tuce like that, but certainly we do eat many salads-a great deal of sal ad. Look at the menu card in any of our tea rooms or cafeterias of res taurants to prove this point. Look on the table of the average American family for further proof. Where once lettuce was served occasionally with cream or vinegar and sugar. some sort of salad is now served every day, either at lunchean or dinner, and som etimes at both meals
 Here are some good combinations:
 Ripe pears, skinned, halved, and served with cream cheese in the core cavity on lettuce with French dress ing.
