CONSPIRACY CHARGE

Waukegan, I'll, Dec. 1.-THE states
argument in opposition to the motion
to quash the Small-Curtis indictments

not answer the defense's attack. c. G..

SUPERVISORS CLOSE
DECEMBER MEETING
REPORTS ARE 7 READ
BUSY SESSION TERMINATED
THIS MoRNING-oFFIcERS AND
COMMITTEES COVER WORK
ACCOMPLISHED DURING PAST
THREE MONTHS.

Supvisors of La Sale county termi-
mated their December session of the
board, when they met this morning
at 10 O'Clock and adjourned until the
second Tuesday in March, 1922. Pro
badly one of the most important sub
jects taken up by the board at this
mornings meeting was that of the C.
S. Cullen case. The matter of further
prosecution in that case was dropped
by the board.
County attOney Elmer e. ROBBERS in
his report to the board asked them
whether or not he should perfect an
appeal to the appellate court. de-
claration was sent more than ten
years ago to the circuit court regard
ing the case. Since the September
session the case was turned down by
that court, stating that there was no
cause for action. The case never
has really been tried. Mr.. Cullen at
the time he was prosecutor Of the coun-
ty is alleged to have collected fines,
forfeitures and bonds which. were new
er turned over to the county. Upon
motion of Supervisor Haskins the
board decided to refrain from taking
an appeal to the appellate court
Supervisor Charley then introduced
= petition submitted by the Illinois
chapter of the Daughters of the Amer
iCan Revolution, asking whether or
not they could place a bronze tablet
Of Abraham Lincoln, memoralzing
the fact that he tried several cases in
the old court house which was situ-
ated where the present building is
located The petition was referred to
tho committee on buildings and
grounds.
Supervisor Mcdonald, in behalf of
County superintendent of Highways
then asked each member of the board
to send recommendations to the super
intendent of highways Office of men
who might be selected as patrolmen
to take care of state roads in the
state aid roads in the county. Last
July through a law passed at Spring
field, the state took over possession
of all the state aid roads. But until
they are able to take care of them
and keep them up it is the duty of the
county and not the townships to look
after the roads. The patrolmen If
selected will be instructed to take
care of portions of state aid roads,
not to exceed eight or ten miles of
the highways.
Resolutions of sympathy to Super
visors William Horarity of Streator,
and to NJ. f. Hawley of Vermillion,
who at the present time are confined
to their homes with illness, were then
adopted by a standing vote of the
board The board then adjourned un-

Cambridge, Md.
Gentlemen:
In last Saturdays issue OF the Daily
Banner, a letter was published con-
corning the high prices charged by
the merchants of Cambridge as
compared with the prices of the
larger cities, particularly those OF
Philadelphia, which were quoted.
The Chamber of Commerce is anXi-
Gus and exists only because of the
service it renders to the general pub
lie. In this particular instance,
however, it would hardly be fair to
investigate this condition upon sucn
vague information as the CORES
pondent gave. For example in the
larger cities the chain stores are in
a position to purchase produce in
larger quantities and are therefore
in position to sell at lower rate
because of the lower cost.
May 1 suggest that your CORES
pondent furnish the Chamber de
tails as to whether this was not a
special sale, the name of the Com
pany advertising, etc, personally,
and we will be very glad to look into
the matter.
We feel, however, that a thorough
understanding on the part OF ouI
merchants and patrons will result II
mutual benefit In closing may /
again reiterate that the Chamber is
organized primarily for service to
the entire citizenship of Cambridge
and we solicit their sincere coop
Grafton.
Very truly yours.

Potato Wart Disease
Varieties Are Immune

Tests made by the United States
Department of Agriculture Gin Co
operation with the Pennsylvania
State Department of Agriculture and
the Pennsylvania State Experiment
Station) in 1919 and 1920 to determine
the behavior of American varieties of
potatoes in the presence of the w3rt
disease, a serious European trouble
recently found in this country, have
shown that twenty-SiX named va
rieties of American origin are
immune to the disease. These are
Irish Cobbler, Flour-ball, First Early,
Early Eureka, Early Petoskey, and
New Early Standard, of the Cobbler
group; Ehnola, Extra Early Sunlight,
White Albino. and Early Harvest, OF
the Early Michigan group; Spaulding
Rose, Northern King. and White
Rose. of the Rose group; Burbank Of
the Burbank group; Green Mountain,
Green Mountain Junior, Mckinley
New Oregon, McGregor. Norcross.
and Gold Coin, of the Green Noun
tain group; Round Pink Eye and Mo
Cormick of the Peachblow group;
anu heepef, SuCC6SS, anu olSuo,
which are unclassified.
In addition, II new, unnamed seed
ling varities developed by the de-
partment were also found to be lm-
mune, as well as "a English and 8
Scotch varieties. Seven of the Eng
lish varieties. namely, Edzell Blue,
st. Malo Kidney. Rector, Majestic,
Iris
Queen. gave good yields, but only
one, Edzell Blue, gave a yield that
compares favorahly with that of the
best American commercial sorts.
Potato wart has been a serious dis
ease i'll northern Europe for many
years, and in 1912 the United States
placed an embargo on potatoes COM
ing from countries where it was
known to exist. Shipments received
prior to that date are considered re-
sponible for its introduction into this
country. It was discovered in 1918
in gardens at Highland. Pa. in the
heart of the anthracite mining dis
trict, and subsequent surveys have
shown that its occurrence is restrict
ed to a limited number of mining viii
lagos in Pennsylvania, West Virginia,
and Maryland, inhabited largely by
foreigners. from which it's spread has
been restricted by prompt and rigid
State guarantees.
Wart is looked upon as one Of the
most serious potato diseases. In
badly infected gardens in Pennsyl-
vania practically the entire crop was
found to be destroyed by the disease.
However. the discovery that a num-
Der of the best commercial American
varieties of both carly and late pota-
toes are immune to wart offers an
important means of control. These
varieties are so generally grown that.
it will not be easy for the disease
to gain foothold in our important po-
tato-growing districts even if it
should escape from the areas to
which it is now confined.
