Emmrersoft, Statd Treasurer Edward J. Barrett, and State Auditor Oscar Nelson, who comprise the tax levy board, will meet in December to fix the 1931 tax rate. Last year there was an increase of 25 per cent-in the number of Illinois farmers who obtained electric Service from power lines for the first time. Although farmers are showing continued and increased interest, only about Qne out of ten farmers in the State now has electric service. Men outnumber the women in Illinois approximately 116,000.

The Supposed letter of Abraham Lincoln which was found some time ago at Rome, Italy, has been declared a forgery by Henry Nelson Gay, secretary of the Italo-American society. Mr. Gay is an authority on the life of Lincoln, having written a life of the great man in Italian. During the week of November 15-21, a sharp increase was noted in the pre-1 valence of smallpox and chickenpox throughout the state. There were 306 new cases of scarlet fever and 285 of wfiooping cough during the same period. Organization of a state-wide program or unemployment relief with emergency employment committee and bureaus in more than 600 communities in Illinois has b^en launched by the American Legion. Instead of limiting'its' assistance to war veterans, the Legion, working with the federal and state department of labor, will endeavor, wherever possible, to act as the employment contact point for all resident job seekers, regardless of age color or sex. Ivan Elliott, state commander, has appointed a special commission to direct this important undertaking. The members are Frederick J. Ashley,, LaGrange; E. KSmith, Chicago; Arvid E. Anderson, , Emil Schlipf, Peoria; An- Conductor, EgoD | drew j, perejv«l( Decatur; Edward A. Wilier, Centralia. There are fewer cases of appendicitis among inmates in state hospitals for the mentally afflicted than are encountered in the general medical practice among normal people. Dr. JJW. McKelvey, state surgeon in the department of public welfare, attributes the comparative immunity of mental patients to attacks of appendicitis and duodenal and gastric ulcers to the regularity of institution meals -and to the care given the selection of the inmates diet. Attorney General Oscar E. Carlatrom has ruled that a farmhand who delivers the products of his employer to market by truck is not required to have a chauffeur's license. The opin- |on pointed out that the truck is operated solely in furtherance of the farmhand's principal occupation and not used in transporting passengers or merchandiselfor hire. Blooded cattle of twenty-six different types, including Illinois' best purebred and prime market grades, were shown at the opening of the 1931 International Livestock expojsition at Chicago. Seven of Illinois' leading Shorthorn Seattle breeders exhibited -full show herds at the exposition. Mailing of the 1932 automobile license plates was begun on December 1, in the automobile department of the office of Secretary of State William J- Stratton. The plates will not be come official until January 1. Secretary of State Stratton believes that the new system of photostating appli cations will materially aid in carrying out the law compelling autoists to secure new plates by January 1. " Four bills passed by the legislature have been signed by Governor Louis L. Emmerson. Two bills authorise townships to levy money immediately for pauper aid; one\bill provides for closed season gp hen pheasants and a number ofj^ther game birds; one bill removesSr requirement from the grain storage act so that farmers will not have to file insurance policies with the director of agriculture. According to Harrison Fahrnkopf, director of grain marketing of the Illinois Agricultural association, the farmer is coming into a new era as a salesman in merchandising his products though co-operatives. At a conference of deputy fire marshals, comprising the field and office staff of State Fire Marshal S. L. Legreid, Governor Louis L. Emmerson complimented them on their "unsurpassed record in the number of ar rests and convictions in arson cases." Plans for a publication in Spring field of statewide Democratic organ known as the Illinois Jeffersonian*' have ' been announced following a meeting of Democratic leaders in eluding: Thomas Donovan, Joliet; Minority Leader Michael Jlgoe; State Treasurer Edward J. Barrett; Jolin H. Stelle, assistant state treasurer. It is planned to issue the first number December 15. with a monthly* issue thereafter. The lefcialators at the special session of the general assembly receive mileage and $50 for postage, stationery, and incidental expenses but no salary. Appropriations totalling $101,- 000 have been made for the expenses of the session. Hie Illinois commerce commission has authorized jsix telephone companies to reduce the rates for service ^connections and exchange charges. These companies are located in Jacksonville, Pleasant Plains, Bluffs, Pontiac, Streator, and Bushnell. These reductions, with those made by member companies of the Illinois Telephono association, will mean a saving to Illinois telephone users of more than $200,000 anntially. ? * American Sapphire Fields There are two notable sapphire fields In the United States.
