At a recent meeting held in the capital city, the court ruled that the "equity and good conscience" provision of the statute does not permit the court to allow charitable claims against the stiite, but the court can allow only such claims as are based on a statute of facts that would prove and warrant a recovery against the state if it were a private party. Lawyers state that this rule will reduce the litigation in the court by at least one-third, and will, in Its effect, save the state many thousands of dollars. * , An extensive plant propagation program, under way as a branch of service administered by the plant industry division of the Illinois department of agriculture, is evolving wilt-resistant strains of watermelons that will grow successfully In various sections of the state of, Illinois. The Conqueror--a variety of melon that will resist rust but possesses scarcely any other virtues that would recommend it--has been crossed repeatedly with the kinds the markets prefer. The advantages Of fine flavor, desirable size, shape and texture are being retained and with them the ability to resist blight are added by the influence of the. hardy Conqueror. Within n few month* the fifth bridge to be constructed across the Missis-\ sjppi river, connecting Missouri and Illinois will be completed and opened for traffic. All of the five structures have been projected within the last two years, and result from the,development of the state highway sxiTem of Illinois. Three of the bridges across the Mississippi are now open for traffic. The structures at Alton, Louisiana, Mo., and Cape Girardeau, Mo., are now being crossed by thousands of vehk-les duily. Two additional bridges, at Cairo and Mitchell, are nearin;; completion and will be open for traffic before the first of the ue& year. Previous to the construction of hard roads across Illinois, touching the Mississippi river, there was no bridge across that river between St. Louis, Mo., and Memphis, Tenn, devoted to vehicular traffic and it was necessary to depend entirely on ferries.

Lands will be reforested, stocked with game and song birds; streams and artificial lakes will be bountifully supplied with native fish. Men, women, boys and girls returning to their homes and work after visits to these state-owned playgrounds will become better workers and better citizens, and will have been developed physically and morally by their picnics and fishing and camping on these great state-owned playgrounds In every county. The entire cost of this project will be" borne by the sportsmen without one cent of direct taxes. A failure to vote on November 6 will be a vote against this great conservation aad recreation program. ^ The average date for the first killing frost in northern Illinois, as revealed by a study of the records in twenty weather observation stations, going back from 12 to 50 years, is about October 8. The earliest killing frost, officially recorded, is August 30. at Freeport. In central Illinois, the law of averages indicates that killing frosts may be expected in mid-October.

The crop and live-stock statistics, issued by the Illinois and United States Departments of Agriculture, give this information from the weather bureau records in Circular No. 374, Bow available upon application.

"Service That Will Please You" Lay's Radio Service Next Door to Adams' Store Johnsburg What a summer residence and office of the President of the United States can uo for a town and district is illustrated by the metamorphosis of Rapid City, S. D. President Coolidge's summer in and near that city last year has given the place a stimulus that apparently nothing else could have done. The attention of the entire United States was attracted to the town * which has followed a line of lmprov ments with tourists and settlers that has worked an almost magical transformation. Last summer was the first time that a president of the'United States ever established a summer residence and' headquarters west of the Allegheny mountains and the novelty probably directed the attention of the people more to Rapid City than |{ Presidents had for years been coming west for their vacations. While the town was well established before President Coolldge honored it with his summer sojourn, it has jumped by leaps and bounds in every way since that eventful summer. The population of Rapid City has increased in one year from 7,000 to 10,W0, the city has been almost entirely repaved, a million dollar hotel has been erected, the city has Just voted a bond issue to construct a large auditorium, a new hospital has been finished, hundreds of new homes have been built, a score of Industries have moved to the district, thousands of people have and still use Rapid City as a starting point for touring the scenic Black Hills, which President Coolidge "discovered," and new life abounds in every direction.
