By the laws Of the state to effect . change in

But what tribute those depositors paid to
him! What wonderful thing it 10 to have
peoples confidence. and to be deserving Of It.
Chicago's private hanks and private banks

ways been free from scandal-that ia the rea-
son the state enacted new banking laws.
For 80 years he was trusted by thousands.
Not one Of his patrons ever lost . penny

their hard-earned savings.
II all private bankers in Illinois had been
as deserving as he is Of public trust there
would have been NO necessity Of changing the
statutes
From the avalanche Of telegraph news tell
Ing the sad story Of the crookedness Of public
men, their malfeasance in once, their betrayal
of trust, their dishonesty and double dealing,
We turn to the story Of Di Cossola and take
fresh heart Of hope for our fellow-men.
His bank patrons are not the only people
III the land who honor him. They constitute
the minority.
Why glorify him? He only did what was
right Do you feel that way about it!
Well. we plead not guilty to clarifying him,
and it is quite true, what you say, that he only
did what was right" But his patrons glorihed
him by their refusal to take their money by
their absolute trust in tis honor and honesty
And isn't it fine that = man should do the
right thing for SO many years that his patrons
wouldn't let anyone else keep their money?
Does not that constitute halo for any
business man?

University Needs.

The University of Illinois plans to ask the
legislature for $5,250000 year for the next
two years
And this. in spite Of the fact that the institu
ton has received about two and one-half mil
liens from the state during the past few years.
DR.. Kinley. president of the university ex-
plains that this increase Of 60 per cent is re-
quested because there has been an increase Of
100 per cent in the size Of the student body and
because prices for equipment etc.. have ap-
fortunately doubled.
Tia university has not been cble to provide
buildings and equipment commensurate with
thE tremendous growth in the size of the stu
DENT body and the needs OF students edu-
nationally
The space given to class rooms and labora-
tories Is manifestly inadequate. and the COL
lege Of agriculture for years has been over
crowded.
new library building is an absolute neces-
sty. The present library building has z65
chairs. President Kinley claims Justly that it
should have 1000.
Several years ago a group Of horticultural
buildings was authorized but never executed
because money available had to be diverted to
other channels.
M3ny buildings now on the campus and in
use have never been actually completed. The
college Of commerce ard the college Of engi-
neering await special provision. Again and
again building operations have been postponed
for lack Of funds.
Any student of conditions At Urbana- Cham
paign b well aware Of the needs to which
President Kinley calls attention.
With the University Of Chicago amply sup
Piled With funds. and Northwestern proceeding
to make drive which will undoubtedly result
lin . magnificent group Of buildings in the
heart Of Chisago to house certain Of its COL
Sleges, the state would do we'll to grant the re-
guest of the president Of its own university.
Money spent for education is never wasted.
ana the University Of Illinois has demonstrated
long ago that It can equip young people for
the struggle Of life equally a we'll as insti-
trtions which can boast Of far more antiquity.
II any institution in Illinois ID worth spend
Ing millions on II is the state university.
Almost every important college in the hand
kas been making drives, upon its alumni and
men OF means for funds to spend for better
equipment
The University OF Illinois, already on a par
with similar educational centers in regard to
The character, standing and ability Of its teach
ing staff (indeed. it is superior to many in this
fespect) should have the physical equipment it
% sorely needs
The Argus hopes to hear that the members
Of the assembly will grant the request Of the
University trustees for the coming biennium.

Road Improvement.

In It's annual report the state division Of
highways claims that more progress has been
made in the direction Of better roads during
the last four years than in all of the previous
history of Illinois.
Following an act passed by congress appro-
rriating over one million dollars to meet the
allotment Of Illinois under the post roads law
and authorizing the cooperation of the states
in constructing Of federal aid roads, came We
passage Of the state wide bond act, submitting
to voters the proposition of $so.0O0.ooo bond
issue.
The money was to be used in constructing
hard surfaced roads upon system of approx
mately 1900 miles designated by the legislature
The issue was approved, and since that
time Is states have copied the example Of
Illinois and voted issues OF various amounts
The 51st congress voted $4.5o0,o0o to meet
federal alotments building upon the founda-
ton laid by the 50th general assembly.
The state administration in 1919 refused to
proceed with the work until better prices could
be secured, and last year the work was confined
to those sections where gaps existed in the
feleral system.
Perhaps in no other department during the
term Of Governor Lowden was more progress
achieved than in the division of highways.
Besides the good work done in our own
state, Illinois in approving the bond issue set
an example which has been widely followed
by sister states.
Tho division is following the policy of pro-
Ceeding to let contracts for heavy grading and
tridges year or so in advance Of building the
road surface, and the wisdom of this policy is
justified by the building conditions which have
prevailed.
The people of the state have become thor
oughly converted to the principle Of road i'm
provement. and with public sentiment 50
aroused it will only be a matter Of a few years
until Illinois will have not only the main roads,
but all the roads. permanently improved

Counting Chickens.

There is an old adage to the effect that one
should never attempt to count chickens before
they are Matched.
However, according 70 Aubrey E. Davidson,
adviser Of the Brown county farm bureau, one
can actually count the eggs . chicken will lay
per year before they are laid.
Davidson has perfected device by which
1t is possible to tell whether hen is a good
layer or not, and just the number of eggs to
expect.
The good layer type Is described as meat,
fne and feminine with no indication of
beenness"
Poor layers are Tong. snaky and lacking
in fineness"
The toe nails Of the good layers are short
and worn. whereas these Of the poor layers
are very long.
In following the chart finger measurement
ID used from pelvic bones to keel Thus a g.
finger measurement means that Mrs. Hen has
capacity Of 90 eggs per finger per year; a g.
Cnger measurement, capacity Of 100 eggs per
finger per year, etc.
1t al looks very simple On paper. Whether
Il actually works out in practice We are not in
formed, but very probably It does or it would
not be sponsored by the adviser Of . county
farm bureau in Illinois.
