Monterey, Mex.--Restoration of the Church properties to the Catholic clergy by the Mexican government Is to be followed by a general rehabilitation of many edifices which were badly damaged daring the long period of revolutions. In many instances magnificent churches were used as barrecks, by soldiers, Gold and sliver ornaments, rare paintings and other things of value were stolen by sacrilegious vandals and probably will never be recovered. One of the things that Impresses the visitor to Mexico most strongly" Is the number and beauty of the churches of the couutry, writes a Monterey correspondent of the New York Sun. In mining camps, villages, haciendas, at every place. In fact, where there Is human habitation,. a church ui|ty be found. Soma of the older bnlldings erected in the early days of Spanish control are tn ruins, but many remain intact and are still in use. It has been said that the unusual fascination cf Mexican churches lies in their mixed architecture, the Christian spire, the Moorish dome, the Indian facades, the Saracenic coloring and, added to this, the fact that the workmen employed by' the Spanish artists and architects were Indians, who left the impress of their own peculiar handiwork in these ancient buildings. A Remarkable Church. One of the most beautiful and remarkable of the early Mexican churches Is the one In the tittle mining village of Vaiencinna, In the mountains of Guanajuato. This, dhurch was erected in 1765 at a cost of more than $1,000,000 by the count of Valendana, who at that time was said to be the richest man in the world. On the top of the hill on which village Is built stands the big church. Surrounding it and built Into the hill are apartments which were formerly used as a convent and fortress, but which are now occupied as stores and dwellings. Near by has been erected a monument to the man who erected the edifice. The narrow pathway to the church leads to a broad flight of steps into the old churchyard, brightly colored flowers aud vtne-hurig trellises. Entrance Into the church is made through exquisitely carved doors set in richly ornamented walls. To the right is the sacristy. where are kept the magnificent baptismal font sarin oun ted by a halo and a dove, all of gold; the vestments of gold embroidered on rich cloth of satin and velvet in brilliant colors, numerous images of the saints, the virgin used intfea various calendar celebrations and an immense cmeMte These are all kept to large «H**ta which aref readily opened for the inspect lot at visitors. Certain Rare Paintings. In the chnrch proper la a mftntfl* Cent altar of Immense sice ant remarkable beauty, richly ornanveuted with elaborate fretwork and exquisite carving. The jpulpit Is entirely of Inlaid mosaics of curious pattern. Large,] gold-framed mirrors and rare paint*' ^ ings adorn the wptls. Many ol the^ paintings depict scenes from the ltito of Christ and the lives of the saints. One of the handsomest of the portraits is that of San Cayetano, patron saint of Guanajuato. Along the sides are to be found old wardrobes of chests and a set of antique drawing room furniture of roaewood and mahogany of rare and wonderful design, Imported from Spain. One of the most Interesting features of the church Is the miracle chapel, where there Is an altar of unusua'. beauty and richness. In this room are hung many small artificial arms, legs, hearts and other members of the body, with inscriptions attesting the miracles performed by the Virgin, who, it is believed by the devout folk #f the community, dwells there.

Farm ^ Walla Walla, Wash.--Henry Vincent, the big Eureka Flat wheat grower, who harvested 12,000 acres last year, has Increased tils holdings until this spring he has a wheat farm of 32,000 acres. This Is believed to be the largest farm in the Northwest. The entire acreage is practically devoted to wheat All the seeding has been done and where the fall planting was finished before the rainy season In November the fields are green. During the seeding of this great tract of laud 39 drills and 42 harrows, kept up with five steam ploughs, each with-a capacity of 60 acres per day. Employs Large Fores. To properly inanage bis great agricultural project Viucent maintains a "Put Heart Into the Gvil Service" large force of men and women. There are also 600 mules and horses, and during the harvesting season he hires enough outside to make a total of from 450 ft 500 spans. Last seasoa 250 men Vtnd women and 90 boys worked for two months on this great farm, harvesting and marketing thtf grain. This year's harvest should the crop be a normal one, will be bandied by five combined harvester threshers, ten headers and four separators. A new departure will be the use for the first time of a steam propelled combine with a 80-foot cut and a combine propelled with gasoline tractor which has an 18-foot cut. These two machines have a combined capacity of cutting and threshing 75 to 00 acres of riDened wheat per day. The great difficulty with heavy tractors in the wheat section is with the rolling nature of the land. Wheat Is planted on steep hills where horses and mules can be driven but where the heavy machinery slides and tips. To care for his wheat last year Vin« cent used 250,000 new Jute bags fof which he paid >17 cents each. Thlr year he has ordered a new supply of cotton ones from Georgia. Another large wheat farm near here Is that of Ben Grote, who has seeded to wheat 10,000 acres. John Webb hM a 9,000-acre field of wheat and thert is another of 7,000 acres near Toledo, In what is known as the Big Bend country there are numerous wheat farmers who plant from 1,500 to 2,000 acres each year to grain. An unfortunate feature of the growing of wheat in this way is that the land is being rapidly depleted of Its fertility. There Is need of a system of diversified planting to save the land from utter barrenness. For nearly fifteen years many of these big farms have been growing wheat every year. Some wise farmers let their farms Ue fallow every other year, thinking tbey get an increased enough to pay for the Idle season.

Pictures Go by Wire INoWflfen toventof Can Reproduce Photos or Writing. IciaUna/ Picture or Measafe Can Bs Transmitted Accurately Over Practically Unlimited Distance. Christiania, Norway.--IJerwood Pe- Iterson, a chief engineer tn the govern* luient telegraph service, has Invented a lwire and cable system by which it Is (possible to transfer a picture or a mes- [sage in original handwriting over prar- [tically unlimited distance. The device |was recently publicly tested here between two 600-mile points and wis re* |ported successful. Contrary to the present telegraph Isystem, Mr. Peterson used an alternating electric current, allowing u strictly synchronous work of the sending and lie receiving apparatus, a higher speed and an enormous saving of operating costs. The system, It Is claimed, also makes It possible to transmit double the suraber of words compared with any other telegranhlc system now used, and it operates automatically from the momeat the telegram, picture or drawing is received by the operator until It is received at the place of delivery. No Yiew wires or cables are necessary. The manuscript to be transferred is placed on a metallic cylinder--somewhat resembling un original wax phonograph cylinder--covered with a photographic film and exposed to a strong arc light The manuscript Is copied on the cylinder film, developed aud cromograpb- Ically etched Into the metal. The cylinder is then placed on the sending apparatus, to which is transmitted an electric current going to the receiving apparatus. When the cylinder rotates a needle moves on It, touching every point on the cytinder. Whenever It touches the copied letters of the manuscript It causes a short circuit. which is transmitted to the receiving apparatus with Its photographic paper on which the copy 19 reproduced.

Budapest--As a result of the overhauling of Its finances, the Hungarian government has made the crown worth two ane one-half Austrian crowns. This increase in the value of the Hungarian crown has had a peculiar sequel, according to Kolman Hegedus. minister of finance. "It Is now profitsble," he.said, "for some scoundrels In Switzerland to counterfeit our stamp and Imprint it on the unstamped bills of the Austm- Hungarian bank."

BILLS READY FOB HOPPER V • Measure® indicate •trenuous Opposition Will Be Offered by Corporations, Followed by Court Battles. Springfield,--It's to be the public aervlce commission of Illinois instead of the public utilities commission after July 1, If the legislature passes Governor Small's bills, which are to be Introduced In both houses this week. In addition to changing the name of the commission, the governor, Chairman Smith, Fred Lund in and other leaders of the administration have agreed on the following provisions in the measures: The new public service commission will have no power to abrogate contracts between municipalities and public service corporations. Every city in the state that wants It can have home rule over Its public utilities if av majority, of its voters so express themselves. A suggestion that .the commission be Increased in membership, one section of which is to handle only Chicago matters, was rejected. Both the administrative code and the cities and villages act will be amended to comply with these provisions. The program was decided Upon in a conference held In Chicago a few days ago. attended by Mr. I.undin, Chairman Smith and other leaders, and approved by the governor. Another week's delay In the introduction of the bills was necessary. It was explained, because of the great care required in drafting them. This also served to delay action on Representative Alplner's motion to discharge the boose committee on pub- He utilities from consideration of his hill to repeal the public utilities law outright. It is fully expected here that the traction companies will oflTer stubborn opposition to the measures and that after they are passed, as It now seems more than likely they will be, they will come In for battles In the courts. t The public utilities commission at a recent meeting took up the application of a subsidiary company serving light and power to the town of Spring Valley. This company asked for authority to Increase Its rates, basing the application on the claim that the parent company has boosted rates 80 per cent. Chairman Smith In a statement of the case indicated clearly that the commission will not grant the application, but that. Instead, It will lower the rates of the parent company before the week-end adjournment. The house passed the Kessinger Jury waiver bill, whlcli forbids landlords to force tenants to sign away their, right In leases to a Jury trial should the contracting parties come to litigation. This is the first 4L the Kessinger rent bills to pass the house, and efforts to have It approved by the attorney general's office and signed by Governor Small before May 1 are being made by exponents of the measure. Representatives of the Ohicaeo real estate board made a back-to-the-wall fight against all of the hill, but went down to overwhelming defeat. A number of attempts by opponents of the rent bills to amend the hills were thwarted in the Judiciary committee. One of the amendments proposed was aimed to pit tenant against tenant, and, as in the senate, It was voted down. Representative O'Orady of Chicago took a poke at landlords objecting to children in apartment buildings when he Introduced a bill providing for a penalty of one year's Imprisonment or a fine of $500 for any landlord who refuses to rent to families with youngs stera. The state prohibition bill advocated by the Antl-Saloon league went to third reading in the house after wet amendments had been defeated by a 50 to 47 vote. Senator f*lark obtained adoption of his resolution that requires an immediate legislative investigation of the Torrens system in Cook county. Senator Clark heads the committee, which consists of himself, Senators Roos, Austin, Hughes and Herllhy. Horse racing in Illinois under the supervision of a superintendent of racing is asked in a new racing hill offered in the senate by Senator Denvlr as a substitute for a bill he Introduced esirty In the session. The bill permits the use of parl-mutuel machines and requires a 10 per cent tax on receipts. 8ays Waterway Cost Prohibitive. Estimates of $35,000,000 on tlie cost of the Illinois waterway project are too large to consider pushing the work under present conditions. Governor Small declared In a recent Interview. Until nilnols can have Its "lakes to gulf" link at nearer the $20,- 000,000 available the work will be delayed. "I have been urged to push the waterway, but the very ones who are clamoring for its completion admit that the work cannot be done now for less than $35,000,000," Governor Small said. May Prosecute Km Dealers. Violators of the state egg law will be arrested and vigorously prosecuted and a close check will be kept on egg merchants by state food Inspectors In a "better egg" campaign, it was announced by the division of foods and dairies of the state department of agriculture, in a bulletin. A warning is given to egg dealers and buyers that the law requiring the candling of eggs must be complied with.

The Illinois constitutional convention will reassemble September 2 to resume business where It recessed last winter. It is scheduled to go through with ita original program of preparing new constitutional amendments that will be submitted to the people some time In 1922. This was determined, following a long series of conferences between most of the delegates to the adjourned convention, senators and representatives and others. Governor Small approved the arrangements. Both senate and house committees reported favorably bills reappropriatljig to the convention the unexpended balance of $180,000 of the original $250,000 allotted for esgense^ last lefislaturt, y**1 More Demand for Labor. Decided Improvement In the am* ployment situation In Illlnots through March is disclosed in a tabulation of reports from the eleven state free employment offices made public by their general advisory board. Both applicants for positions ind Jobs available increased in Mrrch over the previous month, the b >ard states. On a percentage basis, the state as a whole showed that in March there were 216.3 persons registered for every 100 Jobs available, while fh February there were 261.1, Chicago showed wen greater Improvement, for the ratio of supply and demand there for the month of February Was 818.2, while for March there were only 276.4 persons registered for every 100 Jobs available. The Industrial classification which showed the greatest improvemeiit was "metal and machinery." , Heavy Damage to Fruit. The commercial crop of peaches and pears is a total failure, according to W. S. Brock, specialist in horticulture of the University of Illinois. This announcement was made as a result of a study of the Injury done to Illinois fruits by the freezes of Siarch 28, 29 and April 10 and 11. "The commercial crop of apples for the state will not exceed 15 per cent (90 per cent or more of the commercial apple crop being produced south of a line drawn through Urbana)," continues the statement. "Plums and cherries are a total loss, while, except for the extreme southern portion, grapes are probably not seriously injured, lite early apples In the Ozark section are reported from 80 to 95 per cent killed. Late apples in the same section are a trifle better. Both early and late apples in Clay, Richland and Marion counties are nearly a total loss. The reports from the western Illinois section. comprising the Illinois and Mississippi river section, are contradictory, but would seem to Indicate that there might be as much as 20 per cent of a crop, it Is certain that In one or two places within this area there is less than 5 per cent of a crop, so (that it will require a few more days to determine the exact extent of the loas. The northern third of the state does not produce a large commercial crop of apples, but the damage to fruit generally was much greater In the western part--in Adams and adjacent counties--than in the central and eastern sections. Tree fruits generally In northern Illinois are reported safa. Predict Action on Bond Program. .After being compelled to abandon their Inspection of Wisconsin highways on account of the storm Gen. George Bell, Jr., his staff, 100 Illinois legislators, bankers, city officials, business men, Senators Buck, Hamilton and Barbour, Representatives Tice and Denvir, and a score of downstaters joined Governor Small and his party at Madison and returned home, convinced that Illinois must institute the patrol and maintenance system on at least 17,000 miles of her state highway system at once. Senator Barbour is preparing an amendment to a bill now before the legislature recommending that Illinois road patrolmen be given police powers when they are appointed, and be charged with {he regulation of all traffic over their trunk lines. "This trip has convinced us that the Illinois hard road program Is the most Important thing on the books," declared Senator Barbour. "It will get quick action." The party was impressed with the advice given them by A. R. Hirst Wisconsin highway engineer. "You can't proclaim a mud embargo on Illinois vehicles several months in each year and get away with It," said Hirst "When any state, politicians or business begins to play with, the good roads game, they are playing with fire that will ultimately consume them politically. Illinois has $00,000.- 000 In the roads bond Issue. You men are hesitating now to tell the people that the money will not build as many miles of hard road as they were first promised. Tell them now and build now. I predict that the people of Illinois will vote bond issues for thrice the present figure before tbey are through and know the money la well spent," be declared. Grading and Bridge Work Let Notices to the successful bidden for grading and for bridge work In Henry, Bureau and Knox counties In the northern part of the state and In several southern counties that they had been awarded the contracts were sent out last week by the state department of public works and buildings. There were 15 sections for grading and 17 for bridge foork awarded. The prices for grafting were 19 per cent lower than at the bidding on February IS when all bids were rejected. Motorbus Muling by Board. The public utilities commtsiMn made a ruling recently that the granting of permits for the operation of motorbuses on the new state highway system, as existing or proposed, would not confer the right of monopoly. Nor wodld such grants, the commission declared, make the companies receiving them exempt from control by municipalities. The commission reserves the right to grant permits to several lines over the same routes. Permits so described would be for the carrying of passengers, treaty and S25 lares She Would Like To Put a Bottle Of Tan- In The Hands Of Every Sick Man, Woman wid Child In This Country -- N cytr Saw Its Equal. • "I am sixty-seven yean of i|ge, but in all my experience I have never knbwn a medicine like Teniae.
