OCEAN TOsOCEAN
ROUTE MAY PASS
THRO CHAMPAIGN

Important steps have been taken to
re-route the Ocean to Ocean highway
through Champaign and Urbana. ac.
cording to information given out at
the office of the Chamber of Com.
merce.
The present routing is east from
Decatur TO Tuscola, Newman, Chris
man, Dana, Ind, Montezuma, Ind,
and points east, almost a direct line.
The proposal is 10 re-ronte the high
way so that il will pass through
Charlottesville, Danville, Urbana and
Champaign and thence to Decatur.
Many advantages are pointed out In
this change. One of the most i'm
portant is that tourists passing
through Danville and Champaign will
have one of the best roads in the west
to travel over, while the line from
Decatur TO Indianapolis has only been
constructed in part, and Is not likely
to be completed for some time.
Another advantage to tourists Is
found in the privilege they will have
under the new routing to pass through
Charlottesville, Ind, the historic home
of General Lew Wallace; Danville, a
city OF oOIoVO popHiatioH anu tns
home of Joseph Cannon, and Urbana
and Champaign, the home Of the Uni
versity of Illinois.
Ii will cost the citizens Of Urbana
45 memberships at So per year and
Champaign citizens So memberships
at the same figure. The memberships
are pledged for five year period. In
addition to the $5 tuition which is paid
annually there is an initial member
ship fee Of 81 required.
The fund is largely used in adver-
tising the attractions of cities along
the route and general upkeep in the
matter of guide posts and other items
that are not provided for by taxation.
1t is understood that none of this fund
is to be expended for repairs of the
route.
The question of accepting the pro
posal to re-route the Highway was
considered Tuesday night by the good
roads committee of the Chamber OF
Commerce in consultation with l.. II.
Mann, superintendent of the Ocean 70
Ocean highway association.

FARMERS STUDY
MODERN METHODS
IN FARM ACCOUNTS

Under the direction Of the Farm
Bureau professors Of the University
have recently been instructing farmers
in better systems of keeping accounts.
Schools are being held at the Farm
Bureau office and are being attended
by farmers from all parts Of the
county.
The Farm Bureau has recommend
ed 10 its members a certain form by
which farm accounts are simphfied
and accurately kept with very little
trouble. The form is worked out
on the basis of the best and most i'm
proved systems available.
Farmers who have adopted the
improved methods have demonstrated
TO their own satisfaction that careful
and accurate keeping Of accounts Is
bfa 5f the farmers best assets.
The application of their nlan Of
studying accounts will be a decided
advantage to laboring men and wage
earners of all classes. 1t is thought
By many leaders of labor that more
time should be devoted 10 the pursuit
and application of sound business
methods by laboring men in general.

SCHOOL BOARD
IN QUANDARY
SIN { Z FIR T.

What to do with the ancient strue.
ture known as the Central school
building, and how to care for the hun
dreds of children whose school advan-
tages have been seriously affected by
the recent fire which partly destroyed
the Central building, are questions
that are now disturbing the Cham
paign school board.
The suggestion to proceed at once
with the construction of new build
ing is entirely too visionary, members
of the board think. The chief reason
for their conclusion is lack of funds.
Only a fund of $4,000 is available to
start such an enterprise. This amount
was recently voted through a bond
issue, but is less than a tenth of the
amount required to construct a school
building such as is needed.
Apparently the old building will
have to undergo temporary repairs
until the necessary funds are obtained.
1t has been a part of the school
building program to erect a suitable
building for the students of Central
school, but generally the sentiment Is
expressed that another site will be
more practicable. The ancient build
ing now occupies one of the most valu-
able building sites in the city, and
this may be turned into cash and a
cheaper building lot purchased else
where. By such maneuvers the school
authorities hope to solve at least a
part of their financial problem in
eventually securing new building.
The loss occasioned by the fire has
been variously estimated at S25,000 to
$4,000, which is understood to be
covered by insurance.
The children will be cared for in
other school buildings until perman-
ent quarters are secured.

BUSINESS MEN
MEET TO PLAN
SEASONS EVENTS

Members of the trade extension
committee of the Chamber of Com
merce met Tuesday morning to dis
cuss plans leading to the adoption OF
program of events during the year
1924.
Merchants have realized the neees-
sity of bringing the rural and city
population together in a social way
and are planning features of enter
tainment that are calculated to bring
large crowds to the city.
Only preliminary steps were taken
at Tuesdays meeting. Later COM
mittees will be appointed to carry out
each separate event in the program.

CRAFTS ENDORSE
BILL TO HELP
POSTAL EMPLOYEES

AT recent meeting of the Twin
City Federation of Labor the question
of House Bill No. Il23 came up for
careful consideration with the result
that the plan TO increase the wages
of postal employees. as provided In the
bill, was heartily endorsed by a
unanimous vote of the Federation.
Copies of resolutions passed at the
meeting will be sent 10 senators and
congressman with the urgent request
that the bill be passed.
The bill strikes at a condition In
the pay roll of postal employees that
has become acute, owing TO the rise
in prices OF food and all other commo-
dities. 1t is pointed out by every
friend of the postal employees that
wages in this department of American
labor have not increased in proportion
to the increased expense Of living.
In the resolution IL Is pointed out
that the postal employees are not ask.
ing for an actual increase In pay, but
are merely urging that their wages
be lifted TO mark where the pur.
chasing power will be equal 10 that of
the dollar when the last wage in
crease was granted them This, the
Twin City Federation of Labor thinks
is no more than fair.
If the wages of postal employees
were to be scaled down TO eight hours
day it would be found that their
wage scale does not now equal that
paid TO common labor. Postal EN-
ployes claim they never have had an
increase in proportion To the rise in
prices and that at present they are
far behind as compared TO their
standing when the last increase was
granted.
The text of the resolutions follows:
Whereas, The potsal employees Of
the United States are seeking a read
iustment Of their salaries which are
now just a little above the scale paid
TO common laborer and,
Whereas, In House Bill No. 4l23
they are asking not for an increase IN
salary but virtually they are asking
to have the purchasing power Of their
salaries restored by giving them more
dollars to offset he depreciation Of
the dollar.
Therefore, Be it resolved by this
Twin City Federation Of Labor in
regular session assembled, Wednes-
day, January %, 1924, that we urge
the careful consideration of this bill
upon our Congressman and Senators
and ask their hearty support Of II
because Of its fair and reasonable
provisions, and
"Be 1t Further Resolved, That
copies Of these resolutions be sent "a
our congressman and senators and
published in the local press"

Ere We pass through the portals Of

A few decades ago the workers Of

A TRYING DAY
FOR THE GREAT
AND NEAR GREAT

This is a trying time for leaders
in every branch of our social and ma
tional life. Recently an Oklahoma
governor was dismissed with little
ceremony for improper administration
of his office. Another western gov.
ernor on the far side of the Mississip-
pi came in for severe criticism and
barely escaped political disaster. Gov
ernor Small of this state has been
confronted by enemies from every
quarter and was compelled to stand
trial for alleged offenses which his
enemies declared he had committed
against the state. Governor Warren
L. McCray has had no end of financial
troubles and has even made the head
lines of eastern papers while the Chi
cago dailies have contributed stream
er headlines in a review of his finan-
cial difficulties.
And now comes the administration
at Washington and the Teapot Dome
scandal that may result in disaster to
the Republican party and certainly 10
a few of the party leaders.
The Teapot Dome scandal has even
revived an unpleasant memory OF
Warren G. Harding. In an attempt
to connect him with the transfer OF
certain government oil fields TO PM
vate interests, it has even been IN
ferred that perhaps President Harding
knew of the transaction, but certain
Iy President Coolidge did not know
of it, all of which is an attempt TO
clear the present executive of all con-
nection with the transaction.
Mabel Normand and Edna Pur-
VANCE, popular actresses, who have
provided probably as much wholesome
comedy entertainment for the Amerl-
can public as any other two stars have
ever contributed, have had their in
nings in newspaper headlines.
The esteemed Rev. DIR. Case, pastor
of an Oak Park church has been
treated to a week Of headlines for
alleged relations with woman par
ishioner and is now struggling with
the courts to prove himself innocent
of the charge.
And last comes William H. Ander-
son. national superintendent OF the
Anti Saloon League, who has been
convicted for not keeping his accounts
straight and in accordance with the
red tape of American business. An
derson. unless he gets a new trial and
the courts decision is reversed may
get from two and half 10 five years
for his carelessness. u
With all this only the border hne
Is touched. Everywhere American
leaders are either charged with cor
ruption or are serving sentences fof
misconduct of public office. Pastors
are being dismissed-not many, puI
more than enough. Verify 1t IS a Try
ing day for leaders.

Last night DIR. Merriam and the

Of the annual reception and exhibit

and passed on to view some Of the
outstanding achievements OF research
in 1924.
To wander from room to room and
hall to hall was like trampine

from the ancient Maya cities of Yu-

Tribute also was paid to the memory
OF Charles L. Hutchinson, a member
of the board of trustees, who died Of
pneumonia last October.
Turning then to the current work
of the institution, Dr. Merriam re-
viewed briefly the year book, in which
is outlined the significant work under
way in the different institutional lab
oratories. While the year book for
1924, he said, is naturally made up
in large part of statements relating
to technical progress in researches,
the brtefest review of accomplish

uals reveals awealth of outstanding
problems and record of extraordi-
nary achievement in their investiga-
