FARMERS UNION
ENDORSES McNARY-
HAUGEN BILL

The Farmers Union in a letter to
The Review urges that support be
given the McNary- -Haugen bill now
under consideration in Congress.
The bill is aimed to relieve the eX-
isting deplorable conditions among
the grain farmers of the United
States, and is being opposed by the
Metropolitan Press who are appar-
emily backed by influential politicians.
The letter urges that pressure be
brought TO bear upon congressman
and senators of this state urging
passage of the measure. 1t further
emphasizes the point that the farmer
deserves the recognition of every
senator and congressman in view oil
the serious situation that has con-
fronted him during the past four
years.
Whether the bill will do all that the
farmer expects may be question, but
it is obviously a step in the right
direction, in the opinion of many who
have studied the bill and are apparen-
ly in hearty accord with the plan pro-
posed.

CARNIVAL PROVES
DRAWING CARD
FROM START

Prof. Stodghilrs band appeared on
the streets of Champaign and Urbana
last Monday as a booster for the car
nival now showing in this city. |.
will continue to play every day TINS
week. The band is conceded to be one
of the best that has appeared here
in recent years. Every man of the
band is a musician, and a member oil
the A. +. NJ, and critics are unable
to find a flaw in the playing.
1t is also conceded that the Rels
shows are putting on a clean attrae-
ton, worthy of the name of the troup.
With the direction of j. S. Adams
the plans were promoted under the
auspices of the Building Trades
Council. Mr.. Adams as chairman OF
the Carnival committee has worked
intensively to promote the attraction,
and has sustained his reputation as
a booster for whatever he superin-
tends.
The carnival will appear here
throughout the week. So far the in-
dications are that it will prove imam
cial success. Every attraction APP
pearing is of high class character,
and worthy of the endorsement of
everyone who favors a clean show.

SHERIFF GRAY
VISITS ALLEGED
RUM SELLERS

Sheriff John Gray early this week
visited several places in the vicinity
of First street in Champaign. Sue
cess failed to attend his efforts at one
place; but he gathered four vlolators
over the weekend.
Members of the Champaign police
force have been coming in squads
to ferret out suspected bootlegging
joints, but no arrests were reported
early this week.
Illicit liquor continues to flow into
both Urbana and Champaign, but
since the sheriff's force have shown
a decided disposition to raid every
suspected joint the distributors have
resorted to the hip pocket route in
dispensing the liquid. Only small
quantities are found on premises that
are raided; and frequently nothing at
all though the presence Of booze is
evident.

CHAMPAIGN TO
VOTE JU n Il 2
ON FAIRGROUNDS

BY recent order Of the city council
the supervised play election WIS con.
solidated with the Judicial election on
June 2. o.,
The council acted H. accordance with
the will of pett0Ec rs who requested
that supervised play be placed on the
ballot. 1t was understood tn&l one
or two Of the council did not fao)r TIE
plan as proposed, but called the elec-
tion because no alternative was
granted them in view Of the petibon.
A few objectofs haze been found
Yho believe that a tgX Of one mill on
the dollar Of taNab property viii
rot be sufficiently large TO accom-
plihs the aim Of tne petitioner. But
il Is explained by those fostering
the plan that the amount will be ade.
quate as a beginning. -.
Other objectors profess 10 be will
ing to spend 100000 for parks; but
are unwilling 10 try out the present
plan as an initial movement for bet
ter play conditions.
On the whole the Twin City Fedora
ton Of Labor favofs the plan, for the
reason that their children viii be
specially benefited. Many laboring
men. who have children, are unable
to provide them with up-to-date play
facilities, and believe that these
should be purchased by taxation.
They are also favorable to free text
books for children in the public
schools. The two ideas are closely
related and should be adopted. But
only the supervised play plan is now
up to the voters.

''There is no more constructive
piece of legislation pending before
the present congress and there Is none
which is more seriously needed, fer
the industrial welfare Of our eoun-
try. Those who have sought to make
it appear that there is no representa-
ton for the public provided under the
terms Of the bill, either have not
studied the measure or are purposeis

There is in this measure an as
