CARPENTERS
FOLLOW EXAMPLE
OF PRINTERS

The creation of an old-age pension
fund and the establishment of home
for aged an dinfirm members has been
authorized by a referendum vote of
the membership of the locals char
tered by the United Brotherhood of
Carpenters ana Joiners of America,
according to a report by William A.
Cole, member of the general executive
board of the Brotherhood of Carpen-
ters.
The referendum vote was over
whelmingly in favor of both propo-
sitions, both measures receiving much
more than the required two-thirds ma
jority vote.
The vote on the old-age pension
proposition was 56,479 in favor and
23,544 against, while the proposition
to establish home for aged and in
firm members received 55,7O7 votes
in, favor and 23,727 votes against,
A committee representing the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters
and Joiners of America will visit
Florida this month to inspect several
proposed sites for the home.
The old-age pension fund will be
created through special per capita
tax of ten cents per month.--liiinois

Judge james, Champaign police

a neighhofing woman whe charged
that the mother had attempted ta as
sault her With deadly Weapon.
Testimony indicated that the mother
had caught her husband in cem-
promising mtuation in company with
the complainant and had attacked the
woman IN order 10 preserve the integs
rity of her home. The magistrate
ruled in favor Of the defendant, aud
refused 10 hold her for grand jury

In this hearing the participants

"BUY A BUSHEI"
SLOGAN STARTED
TO HELP FARMER

A plan, similar 10 that inaugunaled
IN the mar period Ia save the Gotten
market from disastrous slump, has
been started In the interest Of the
farmers to prevent the price Of wheat
from falling below the dollar mark.
Buy bushel' OF thonsand bush.
els, and thus keep the market moving,
Ia a plan that has been suggested as
remedy to keep the price of wheat
up, granting that general demand
will procure this desired feault.
The trouble with the price Of wheat
appears 10 be that the demand has
fallen of. With all the gold OF the
world consolidated In the United
States, foreign governments are ems
harfassed In making large purchases
of wheat and other farm products.
IL is hoped BY creating local demand
that the lack of foreign market viii
be offset.
Already, though the slogan was
only recently announced, II Is report
ed 10 have caused a slight uptufn In
the market. This however, has not
been felt as yet In the farming areas.
The closing markets OF last week
quoted wheat at So cents on the local
market The Chicago market hoyered
around the dollar mark. Flour gen
orally shows reduction, while the
price OF bread has not diminished per
eeptably since the slump In wheat.
This is due, bakers affirm, TO the fact
that large quantities OF high priced
-four are on hands TO be worked aI
before bakeries can take advantage
Of the lower prices now quoted.
Reports from ioeal bakeries inhi-
cate that the price of bread Ii con.
siderably lower than nj this fime last
year.. two pound and half loayes
selling for 20 cents, while at this
time last year the price was quoted
at 80 cents.
Within this period there has been
no reduction In wages, and up until
the last few weeks, no reduction In
-four prices that would warrant a Ave
cent reduction In the price Of three
pounds of bread.
The obvious conclusion Is that the
bakers are inclined TO do the fair
thing by the public.

SPEED VICTIMS

Fatalities through violation of the
speed laws in Chicago reached total
Of 357 last week as against 348 for
the same period last year.
Councilmen of Chicago attending
the inquest over the body of the last
victim declared that they would make
reeommendations concerning new
drivers and places where they might
learn to drive in a manner to insure
the safety Of citizens.
Judge Charles +. Bartlett, of De-

declared recently that jail sentences
Is the only means of corrective pun
ishment for violators of the speed
laws.
Since he assumed office i'm October,
WI, the judge has handled over S5,-
VVV cases in which violations of the
automobile laws figured. In that
period he has sentenced 1900 to jail
Tor various terms. Many were fined
ana many others placed on probation.
Another effective plan which the
Judge has used is~in exhibiting the

pool. The proposal has been consid.
cred In Chamber of Commerce com.
mlttees and by other organizations
interested In public anusements. but
apparently nothing has been done.
In West Side park there is a band
stand, a scattering few park benches,
an Indian statute and fountain com.
bined and practically nothing else but
green sward and trees that nature
produced without aid from the citv of
Champaign.
In Champaign the business men, in
spifed by few progressive men of
their number, opened League park,
spending several thousand dollars in
erecting a substantial grandstand and
rows of bleaehefs and otherwise
equipping the field into a neat. at
tractive ball park. This affords
amusement for thousands of baseball
fans, but owing to the fact that games
do not begin until very late in the
afternoon thousands more seldom find
opportunity to attend.
East Side park has a small square
basin constructed, obviously for the
purpose of affording a little scenery
and to give the five-year-old boys and
girls chance to splash in pool of
dirty water.
Both East Side and West End parks
need additional attractions, better
facilities for play, more park benches,
and many other additions that will
afford diversion for adults as we'll as
children.
One of the most attractive parks
i'm Central Illinois could be made of
Crystal Lake park if it were support
ed by the county and enlarged and
improved. 1t would be a costly enter
prise to turn Crystal Lake into a
swimming pool but that could be done
in magnificent way If the proper
push were behind a movement with
that purpose in view.
The natural facilities for charging
and beautifying this park are so many
that to neglect them is reflection
upon the Park Board, the city admin
istration and the citizens of Urbana
and the county. In some manner
Champaign and the surrounding
country should be enlisted In building
up this attractive spot, and making
it In every respect credit to the city
and county.
