RAILROADS 11 GIVE LOW RATES C. P. 4. ST. L. PROMISES REDUC­ TION FOrt FAIR VIS­ ITORS. OTHER LINES MAY CONCEDE' John Bolus, Traffic Committionor of the Springfield Commercial As­ sociation, Receives An­ swer to Request. Springfield.--Special rates on rallr roads will be given to fair visitors by the C., P. & St. L. railway, according to information received by John Bo­ lus, traffic commissioner of the Springfield Commercial association. Other roads have either refused to give rates or have asked for more time to consider. - The B. & O. S. W. has refused to give the rate and the C. & A. says that they desire more time to consider the proposition. The latter road in­ timated that they were not in favor of giving the rate and that the fair seemed to be as well attended when the rate was not given as when it was in vogue to give the rate each year. Other roads have not been heard from. Additional effort will be brought to bear to get the rate, and Mr. Bolus expects to bring the majority of the roads entering Springfield in with a good rate before the fair starts. What Inspection Did. The medical inspection of factories in Illinois is shown to have resulted in the reporting of 247 cases of indus­ trial diseases from 31 manufacturing establishments during the first eight months of its operation, according to the report of the American Associa­ tion tor Labor Legislation. One plant is cited which had 73 cases of lead poisoning last August, due to dry sandpapering of the lead paint. With the use of a simple res­ pirator for the protection of these workers, as recommended by the de­ partment, the hazard of this oocupa- tion has been so far reduced that there has not been a single case of lead poisoning in that particular es­ tablishment in the last four months. Dr. Leonard W. Hatch, statistician of the New York department of labor, who has charge of the registration of industrial diseases in New York state, emphasizes the need for educating physicians as to the intent and scope of registration laws and testifies to the gratifying results obtained from the first few months' operation of the act. Packers Are Not Held to Blame. SUite Farmers' Institute members do not believe that packers, either in­ dividually or collectively, are respon­ sible for high prices of meats. Shortr aeg of live stock is, in their opinion, the real reason. In the institute weekly bulletin* is­ sued from the office of Secretary H. A. McKeene, reasons for believing the packers not responsible for high prices are given. The institute says: "We hope the recent rise in the price of meat will cause the general public to investigate the situation, learn the real cause of the high cost, and instead of indulging, with thought, less calamity howlers, in useless abuse of the so-called 'packing trust,' join forces with individuals and organiza­ tions who are working along intelli- I L L I N O I S IMPROVEMENT OF WHEAT AND OATS RESULTING FRO!

Illinois' new million and a half dol­ lar charitable Institution, the location of which has been in contemplation for a year, will be situated near Al­ ton, In Madison county. This was decided by the state board of ad­ ministration after balloting on the proposition, which occupied practically the whole day. The selection of the site takes away from the board a problem which has been regarded as delicate. Seventy- eight cities and communities in the state had sent in bids for the institu­ tion, and all of these the board mem­ bers have visited. Some of them have been visited more than once. In selecting the site the board bal­ loted in openness Ion. Eight ballots. In which balloting was done by coun­ ty, were required. On the eighth bal­ lot Dr. Frank P. Norbury, Secretary B. R. Borroughs and President Law­ rence Y. Sherman voted fo^ Madison county, and Thomas O'Connor voted for Winnebago county and Fiscal Su­ pervisor Frank D. Whipp voted for Sangamon county. For the purchase of the new site, which probably will embrace the Rogers site, a mile and a half north­ east of Alton, the last general assem­ bly appropriated $500,000. The site contains 1.276 acres. The purchase first will be made. Plans have been drawn by State Architect Zimmerman for the new state institution and now are practically complete. Doyle to Quit as Secretary. Secretary of State Doyle has decided to tender his resignation as secretary of the Republican state central com­ mittee. He says his duties as secre­ tary of state require all of his time. He issued a call for a meeting of the state central committee to be held in Springfield at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, August 17, at which time a successor to him as committee secre­ tary will be chosen. When the committee meets a stand­ ing committee and campaign commit­ tee will also be named. Incidentally the vacancies caused by the with­ drawal of several Republican electors will be filled.

Bach row la the product of an Individual plane By PROFESSOR L. H. <5MITH, Chief in Plant Breeding, Illinois Agri­ cultural Experiment Station, and Professor In the University of Illi­ nois. In considering the possibilities of Improving crop production In this county, comparisons often have been made in recent years of the wheat yields of our country as compared with those of European countries. For example, the average production of wheat in the United States is 14 bush­ els to the acre; that of Germany is 29 bushels. It Is to be recognized, of course, that a large share of this in­ creased production must be assigned to the attention given to the fertility oi the soil. It appears, however, particularly In the last few years, that aside from the care which has been given to the matter of improved soil conditions, an­ other force of tremendous influence has been operating to produce that effect, and this Is the close attention that is being paid to the matter of seed improvement. Great stress Is laid upon the importance of testing different strains and varieties of the various farm crops with the object of finding those best adapted to the many different localities. In addition to this work much attention is given to crop improvement through system­ atic breeding. A report has quite re­ cently appeared in which the state­ ment is made that there are in Ger­ many 46 breeders of rye, 84 breeders of wheat, 65 breeders of barley, 53 breeders of oats, and so on. This to the next generation. The breeding plot serves to sift out the valuable strains. In this breeding plot each head Is planted In a row and its pro­ geny compared under the most uni­ form conditions attainable. The most productive strains are selected for further propagation, and after a suffi­ cient number of years of testing and multiplying, those strains which exhib­ it inherent worth may be put out as new and improved varieties. A bulletin of the Nebraska station has Just appeared reporting the work of Improvement of wheat along this line. Three new strains of Turkey Red were distributed among several fanners, and as an average result there was an Improvement amounting to four bushels to the acre as com­ pared with the yields of these far­ mers' own varieties. Last, year, ac­ cording to the report of the Illinois state board of agriculture, the aver­ age profit per acre of wheat In Illinois amounted to $3.89. Therefore, if we were to apply this improvement ob­ tained by the Nebraska station to ev­ ery acre of Illinois wheat, we would have doubled the profit of production. Dope for Killing Lice.

The other day they met, and, after a few casual remarks concerning the weather, the subject of women and unfortunate husbands --perhaps naturally--discussed. To Henne, however, suddenly came thoughts of years ago, when he was a happy bachelor, and (unconsciously of what Fate had In store for him) " as "walking out" a girl who was. l iter on, destined to bring him sor- ow and misery. Pecke, seeing a "far-away" look in his companion's eyes, inquired the meaning. Henne retorted dramat- •-ally, "I was Just then thinking, old fallow, of those happy days long ago-- i when I used to hold that girl's hand in mine for hours--when--" | But the equally unfortunate Pecke j suddenly cut his companion short by exclaiming: "Why, that's nothing! > Cheer up! Do you kpow, only yes- | terday I held my wife's hand for three solid houi-s." "What?" said the startled Henne. "Yes, it's & fact," resumed Pecke, sorrowfully; "and I declare if I'd let loose she'd have killed me."--London Tit-Bits. - , || RED, ROUGH HANDS SOFT AND WHITE MADE For red, rough, chapped and bleed* lng hands, dry, fissured, itching, burn- "alms, and painful finger-ends, with shapeless nails, a one-night Cutl* cura treatment works wonders.

Of this number, 235 were in the city of Chicago and 446 outside that city, according to the July report which was issued by Act­ ing Fire Marshal F. R. Morgaridge. The value of the buildings damaged or destroyed In the fires outside Chi­ cago was $1,197,093; damage, $382,- 393; value of contents, $756,721; dam­ age to contents, $256,053; insurance on buildings, $717,05;;; insurance on contents, $40S,032. Similar statistics for the city of Chicago are: Value of buildings, $2,426,910; damage to the buildings, $92,020; value of contents, $948,155; damage to contents, $*5,- 906; insurance on buildings, $1,630,- j r een a>s. 900; Insurance on contents, $628,350 Of the total number of fires, sus­ pected of incendiarism is given as the cause of eighteen cases in Chicago and in sixteen downstate.

Where is the progressive far­ mer these days who would think of going to the bin or to the elevator and scooping up a lot of shelled corn for planting his field? Instead of this scoop-shovel method he demands that his seed corn be delivered to him In the ear, because he has come to real­ ise the Importance of taking Into ac­ count the individuality of the ear. But this same farmer who Insists on handling his seed corn ear by ear Is willing to go to the bin and use his ecoop-shovel in selecting his seed wheat. Now, as a matter of fact, there is just the same reason why wheat and oats should be selected and sold in the head as there is for 6eed corn to be sold in the ear. And there is Just as much importance in testing the heads of wheat and oats separate­ ly for their productivity as there Is In testing ears qf corn in separate breed­ ing rows. The same principles of heredity operate In wheat and oats as In corn, and characteristics of indi­ viduals are transmitted to their pro­ geny just as surely in one plant as in the other. Each wheat plant possesses its own Individuality and Its characters are transmitted to Its progeny in accord­ ance with the definite laws of hered­ ity Occasionally--perhaps one in many million plants--there occurs a very outstanding individual, the same as once in a while there arises a Shakespeare or an Edison in the hu­ man race. It is the business ot the plant breeder to seek out these excep* tlonal individuals to test the transmit slon of their remarkable properties, and if found Inheritable, to propagate such strains. If we were to trace the history of many of our most valuable strains of most useful tree for street and lawn planting. The maples are almost as popular as the elms. The hard ma­ ples are the ones to select, either the sugar maple or the Norway maple. The ashes are excellent trees for gen­ eral use, the white or blue ash b$lng most suitable. The oaks are especial­ ly attractive, but have not been gen­ erally planted because they are slow growers. The pin oak and scarlet oak are rather rapid growers, and are very desirable for street trees.
