Bishop Hill Observes
18th Anniversary OF
CoIony's Foundation
(By staff Correspondent


Bishop Hill. Ill, Sept 24.-De-
scendants, friends and relatives of
the founders of the colony of B:sh-
op Hill-hundreds and hundreds of
at the village park
here yesterday for the celebrat ton
of the 18th anniversary of the
founding of the community, the sig
nificance of which possibly has but
one parallel in history-the arrival
of the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock
and the establishment of the col
ony of religious freedom there
which marked the birth OF
nation.
1t was just rs years ago yester-
day that a company of about tour
hundred weary and travel stained
travellers, men. women and chill
dren, arrived on the site IN Henry
county, upon which Bishop Hill
now stands. They had undergone
all of the hardships of the coun-
try's early pioneers, coupled with
those of refugees fleeing from
Sweden to escape the compulsion
of religious worship wrought by
the combination of church and
state, the little band of people
reached Nv York by boat, jour
neyed up the Hudson river to Al
bany, thence to Buffalo by the
Erie canal and to Chicago by the
way of the Great Lakes. From Chi
cago most of them made the rest
of the trip afoot, while a few walk
ed the entire distance from Buffalo,
n Y. The night before they
reached their destination, they
camped near Weathersf1eld, Ill.
The picturesque appearance pre-
scented by them, dressed in the ma
tive garb. bright of color and OF
unusual design, made a lasting i'm
preston of a little boy who saw
them the next morning as they
started out on the last lap of their
journey. The little boy, then I
years old, was J. H. Page, who was
present at yesterdays celebration
and who is 50 years old today. the
Oldest living native of Weathers
field.
Following a session of the Bish-
op Hill Old Settlers Reunion as
soc!ation in the morning a chicken
dinner was served at noon at which
500 we're served, followed by a pro-
gram in the afternoon consisting
Of music and speeches, the prin-
cipal address being made by Hon
Carl o. de Dardel, royal Swedish
consul. Of Chicago. 1t was prob
ably nothing more than a remark
able coincidence that Consul de
Dardei. as the official representa-
tive Of the Swedish king. should
he the principal speaker at the
celebration in honor of the 18th
anniversary Of the founding of
Bishop Hill, by that brave band of
hardy pioneers who sacrificed ev-
orything, even TO risking their
lives to escape the religious yoke
Of Swedish royalty. which made
the Lutheran faith compulsory.

Mary Olson helped celebrate the
18th anniversary of the founding
of the colony of Bishop Hill yes
terday. Dec. q she will celebrate
the 18th anniversary of her birth,
which is of unusual interest be-
cause of the fact that she was the
first child born after the colony
was founded. She not only wealth
cred all of the hardships of the
early part of her life. but was on
hand yesterday to make the coffee,
just as she has done for the last
% years, for the entire assemblage
present at the celebration. She
was the daughter of Jonas and

Nifty garb, Ell? But aside from
it's apparent niftiness and less ap-

and finer significance. 1t is known
as the Dalkulla costume, and is the
genuine article. having been
brought from Sweden seven years
ago by Mrs. Mary Olson. The girls
wearing this native Swedish raj
ment are the Misses Evelyn Swan
son and Margaret Jacobson, who
yesterday industriously sold little
booklets containing the history and
pictures of the founding of Bishop
Hill. The dress worn by the Misses
Swanson and Jacobson is the same
as that worn by the women who

ony in Henry county, rs years ago.

Stolen Auto Recovered.

The reports that several auto
mobiles have been stolen during
the fair week were slightly exag-

OF fact. Last Thursday afternoon
car belonging to August Schuer-

south of Cambridge, was taken. 1t
was parked outside of the grounds.
When Mr.. Schuerburg came to get
his car TO go home he found it miss

Later the car was found on the hard
road north of Cambridge. Ii had

DOMESTIC DRAWBACKS.

Those who wondering why prosperity does
not return peering their spectaces. They
fix their eyes on the far-off horizon and keep
mumbling about the loss OF our foreign commerce
Foreign commerce is good America has made
lot of money out of it. But this country has pros
pered on less foreign commerce than we have now
The inside works of the commercial machine
need adjusting. Our domestic commerce should
cause us more worry. The country never has been
prosperous when its farming population down
at the heel. And under present conditions It is
futile to expect farmers to feel hilarious
The armistice signatures not dry Of their
ink before lot of folk set up a cry for deflation
and readjustment. Three whole years later we
have got as far as readjusting and debating the
greatest Of our industries, agriculture. We have
Debated the farmers income down to about the
1913 level and have left his expenses pretty
nearly at the topnotch of times He can hardly
give away his hides. but he pays much for his
shoes as ever. He begs the buyers to take his fat
steers, but IL he wants steak at the meat market
he is charged the full un-Hooverized price Of tbs
darkest days of conflict Pork chops are worth
their weight in gold. but there is slack market
for corn-fed hogs Irvine binders cost twice as
much in the former days OF dollar wheat, but
the dollar shakes hands with the bushel Of the
farmers grain terms OF equality.
The farmer must be a reluctant buyer of all but
the barest necessities under such conditions And
when the farmers not buy there will be no
prosperity In this country Those who would REM
edy the evils from which the country is suffering
should closely the economic conditions which
are thus expressing the nations greatest industry
and reducing the legitimate incomes of nearly halt
the country's population.

industries He seldom thinks of the need of or
ganizing the farming industry, nor Of the extent to
which this has been accomplished The city dweller
whose acquaintance with agriculture is established
largely through farm products on his dining-roolo
table has little knowledge of the extent to which
our department of agriculture serves the farming
interests of the nation.
An important feature of the departments work
is the gathering of crop reports from all parts Of
the country. Aside from innumerable trained Of
ficials scattered all over the country, there are
900 crop reporters located in all parts of the
United States, whose activities supervised and
checked up by field agents and trained statistcians
The monthly reports gathered in this fashion
cover acreage, condition, yield, total production
stocks on farms. progress farm work, wages sup
ply or deficiency of farm labor fertilizers and seeds
Reports are made for about 50 crops, which repre-
sent about 95 per cent of the total agricultural
ductlon in the United States
There is a touch of the romantic In the dssem
ination of this news from Washington. Obviously
1t must be given out to all parts OF the country at
the same time. Advance information would serve
the interests of speculation. On the evening before
crop report day all telephones to the department are
disconnected. The next morning all doors are
locked and guards see to it that no one enters or
leaves the building while the corresponding board
is in session. Then at exactly 215 in the afternoon
the telegraph wires into virtually every city and
town in the United States singing with the mes
sage of crop conditions.
The tremendous Importance Of this work is little
recognized by the average individual. 1t is little
known, too, how much patience and ingenuity were
required to bring 1t to it's present state of perfection
For most of us is sufficient to know that at the
last meeting of the general assembly of the Inter
national Institute of Agriculture at Rome to which
came delegates from all the world, 1t was freely
conceded that we had developed the most complete
and accurate system of agricultural statistics ever
devised.

EDITORIAL OF THE DAY
REDUCING SUICIDE TO ABsURDITY.
(From the Minneapolis Tribune.)


The dignity Of suicide as an exit from life IS
forever destroyed. Tragic romance used to fling
certain aureole OF grandeur about the splendid lover
who, discovering that she loved him not hurled
himself off a cliff threw himself on his sword, or
lightly quaffed cup of poison. But what opera
could give a thrilling aria to tenor who, acting
the part of congressman, was about to take his
life because his pork-barre bill had not been
passed?
Congressman Elston of California took his
life, If reports to be believed because he could
base established in his district. This is either
taking human life rather lightly a congressional
bill rather seriously. In earlier days suicide used
to have certain impressiveness as a gesture,
protest, or an expression of resentment. In those
days. however usually reserved for the heroic
emotions and for issues that appeared to de-
gree appropriate But now even suicide can dignity
congressional bill, raise 1t to the tragic plane
Suicide Is losing CASTE If this sort of thing
on q man will commit suicide because of over-ful
street passes him by, because waiter is slow
with his order or because the boy forgets to de-
liver him his morning paper. The romantic glamour
surrounding suicide will disappear forever and the
nobler souls will have to discover some new gesture
for expressing their dissatisfaction with life
The congressman who took this method of in
dicating his pique has perhaps performed an un-
conscious service. He has reduced suicide to the
absurdity that it properly is. He, than most
suicides has made clear its intrinsic ILLNESS. The
suicide gesture has been overdone BEFORE but this
know the habit of suicide will become ridiculous
and when that happens 1t will lose all its attrac-
tons. Congressman Elston has harmed the cause
of suicide good deal more than he has helped the
of his bill. The world may at least be CRATE
full to him for that.

NEW IDEAL IN ATHLETICS.

decade or two ago the idea would have met
athletics should be the development not OF few
intercollegiate athletes but rather the physical de-
velopment OF all students. intercollegiate football
becomes easily spectacular contest actively en-
gagged in by not more than 80 players to the enjoy
ment OF thousands of onookers. that it is difficult
to think of football and athletics as serving any
but this purpose.
We always inclined to look on university
and college athletics only from the point Of view
these contests no doubt play justly vital part In
university life
Nor need they be crowded out entirely because
of the fact that finding 1t expedient widen
the scope of college athletics. The 95 per cent Of
the students who have hitherto had but little en-
phass given to their physical development may
come in for their due share without necessarily
furnishing the intercollegiate athletes with less
training than they need.
The point is that the demand Of the 95 per cen
is growing We realizing that mental vigor
is dependent physical vitality and that good
health is prime requisite not only in the life Of
the student, but also in the life of all men and
women. The growth of physical education depart
ments In our public schools, the development Of
Fairgrounds and recreation centers in our cities
all these evidence of the spread of the idea
that the individual get exercise by letting
someone else do it for him.

A LOCAL FIRM EXPANDS.

Albuquerque should be interested in the expan-
sion Of any industry located within it. Citizens
here are therefore doubtless gratfied learn that
the New Mexico Construction company has secured
the contracts for two big paving projects, one be-
ing the stretch between the west end of the BareIas
bridge and Pajarito and the other covering a con-
crete road from Anthony to Berino in Dona Ana
county.
More business for the local firm means larger
headquarters here, which In turn means greater
payroll. The gradual development of a paving
program for important roads the state may
mean the building of important industry in
