Edgerton to Have Directory.

The Frost Directory Company of
Rockford, ILL.,, has started the work of
compiling the data in preparation for
the publication of complete residen-
tial, business, classified and rural direc-
tory of Edgerton and vicinity. This
company consulted with various MEM
bers of the Kiwanis club of this city
and have not only received their APP
prevail but their support and endorse
ment on the plan as submitted. The
publishers agree to compile and publish
the directory containing the names of
every person in Edgerton, giving their
occupation, phone number and street
address. They will also publish the
names of every farmer on all the rural
routes served from the Edgerton post
Office together with rural route served
out of the Cambridge post office.
A feature of this directory, which has
been suggested by one of our leading
business men, will be the arranging of
all the families in groups which will
give a complete census of every living
person in the city of Edgerton.
Upon completion of the directory
the Kiwanis club, which has been given
4ul CIdISS VI Tic uiStElUuttOL, Will III
turn deliver fifteen hundred copies,
free of charge, one to every home in
the city and the rural routes.
Mr.. F. j. Holt, president of the XII
wants club, has already arranged a
corps of helpers for the publishers,
among whom are the Kisses Nyria Gle
and Pauline Dickinson, who will take
charge of the city census, assisted by
the Misses Kathryn Johnson, Dorothy
Knoll, Lauretta Dickinson and Grace
Barrett. These ladies will secure the
name, occupation, phone numbers and
addresses for the directory.
This idea is receiving the support of
many of our business men, because of
the great need of Director for our
city. The cost of this directory will be
paid for through the sale of advertis-
ing, not only the display advertising
but the classified as we'll. The CLASH
ication section is being so arranged
that the firms names will be listed
under the headings of the articles of
fered for sale, and will represent q
large diversified classification of BUSH
ness for our city.
1t is hoped that every representative
business, professional and manufacture
ing interest of Edgerton will avail
themselves of this opportunity to con-
tribute their publicity advertisements
in this directory which will be an asset
and business stimulant at all times for
the merchants and an ever ready trad
ing reference for the public.

COURT RESTRAINS
GRAIN FUTURES ACT

CHICAGO. Oct. 3O.-A stay order
restraining enforcement of the Cap
per-TIncher grain futures act was
granted by Federal Judge Carpenter
here today. following the Chicago
Board of Trades petition for an in
junction.
The act was passed to become effec-
tive November /. and Judge CaTpen-
ter's stay is effective until NoveIn-
ber IS. when he will hear The petit
tion for temporary injunction. which
is based on alleged unconstitution-
ality of the law.
The complaint charges that the act
seeks to restrain purely State trade
as interstate commerce; that it in
tcrferes with the right of individual
States to govern their grain ex-
changes and that it may cause "a
serious disturbance of the grain mar
kets of the country"
