Accenting their loud haw-haw at benighted essayists who speak in bushleague terms of everything the other side of the Cook county Forest Preserve, downstate editors are calling attention also to such facts as these: The largest fluorspar deposits in the world are in Hardin county. Alexander and Union counties yield more than half the nation's supply of tripoli, another valuable mineral used in manufacturing. Down state Illinois produces onethird the nation's glass sand. Downstate fields keep Illinois in third place in coal production. LaSalle has the largest zinc rolling mill in the world. One-fifth of the country's broom corn supply is grown in Illinois and most of it passes through Mattoon and Paris. Any one of 21.5 communities in Central Illinois can take care of a factory of any si~e with electric power all ready to tap. All are connected with the longest hydro-electric transmission line . in the world, running across the state from the Keokuk dam oil... the Mississippi river. "If anyone thinks the state outside is coming to the Illinois Products Exposition with it s tonneau full of pumpkin s, he is in grievous error," said George Woodruff, president of the National Bank of the Repuhlic Chicago, and chairman of the Exposi: tion's board of governors, yesterday. "In assemhling evidences of Illinois wealth, the state would haYc no trouble in filling the entire 20.000.000 feet of space in the American Furniture Mart, instead of confining itself to the American Exposition Palace on the first floor, vast as it is." I WITH THE POETS --------------..1 Beyond our village moves the city Like a surging flood, Piling up its debris, Overflowing and destroying. · Like a caged beast is the city, Roaring out its anguish. The city reaches for the village Heaping high the awful masses Of worm-holed piles, Changing sunlight into shadows, Quivering tombs 'mid the summers heat, Causing life to languish. Is it beneficial to man's progress To choke him within apartments? And the children, do they Come and thrive in the walled-in places?
