Call after 5pm 815-728-0165 10-27-10-29 Agriculture built Illinois, fed the cities, and created the capital and raw materials on which the industrial state was buiu between 1865 and the turn of the century. Whether north or south, the population of Illinois was overwhelmingly agrarian at the close of the Civil War. Only Chicago, Quincy, and Peoria had populations of more than 10,000 in 1860; and Springfield, Bloomington, Aurora, Rockford, and Gales- burg were the only five to join them in 1870. As the surge toward the cities began, how­ ever, , the rural dwellers declined proportionately, so that by 1890 less than one third of the state's workers were engaged in farming and the nujnber was down to less than One fourth by 1900. By the turn of the century more than one half of the state's population lived in towns of more than 2500. An absolute decline in farm population, however, still left the state with more than 250,000 farms in 1900, with farming by far the most popu­ lous industry in the state. The average Illinois farmer at the turn of the century lived in a saltbox house on 124 acres of land. If he were a tenant farmer he probably lived in the central or northern part of the state, as the less productive acreage in Egypt remained in the hands of owner-operators. His farm was worth $7500 on the average, and if he were especially prosperous and progressive he *might own an Illinois-invented wheat shocker, cow-milker, or sileage cutter to help in the work. Manure remained the main fertilizer, and the turn-of-the- century farmer might spend S3 per year fertilizing his land. His farm was probably planted 80 percent in corn, 20 percent in wheat to correspond to the ten million acres of corn and two million acres of wheat grown in that year, although other crops were grown as well. His gross income was $1300, supple­ mented with produce from his truck garden which made him largely self-sufficient. He pro­ bably lived on land inherited from his father, for 55 percent remained on family land. Kero- , sene Jamps lit his horoe. fir places and stoves heated it; an hard work kept it going. The exodus of workers from the farm was vital to Illinois, as the burgeoning industrial cities demanded more and more un­ skilled labor. Why did men leave the land? One impetus was "the steady transference during the period of various industries from the household to the factory" and increased mechanical efficiency which required fewer "hands" to do farm work. Emmigration also took large numbers of the farm population to greener pastures to the West. Illinois lost the greatest number (320,000) of any state between 1870-1880, and again between 1880-1890. More than half a million Kan- sans that year were from Illinois as competition from the new Western grain states affected both agricultural prices and the number of farmers willing to stay on Illinois' more expensive land. There may have been fewer farmers, but all other indices rose with 1880 generally repre­ senting the peak year for the period. The number of farms increased from 202,803 in 1870 to 255,741 in 1880 be­ fore declining to 240,681 in 1890. The percentage of land area in farms rose from 72.2 percent in 1870 to 88.3 per­ cent in 1880, down to 85.0 percent in 1890. More impor­ tant, the percentage of improved acreage rose steadily from 74.7 percent to 84.2 per­ cent. The average acreage re­ mained fairly stable, declining slightly from 127.6 acres per farm in 1870 to 126.7 acres in 1890, and the average value of land and buildings per acre increased - from $26.30 in 1870 to $31.90 in 1880 to $50.50 in 1890. Land and buildings represented the major value, followed by domestic animals, poultry and bees, implements and machinery. Even if the farm did not turn a large cash profit - or any profit at all - it could supply the farmer's basic wants. He could take pride in his crop as he saw his year of labor come to fruition under his own hands. The Jeffer- sonian ideal was a faith accepted on Illinois farms, and so many farmers stayed on the land in Illinois to face the challenges of the twentieth century. Tips For The Novice Automechanic -- by Scott Connor- Repairing Dim Headlights 1974 750 FOUR HONDA stock except paint, low miles, asking $1,300.00 385-9014 after 5:00pm 10-20-10-29 HONDA MR 50, engine bored out and rebuilt, $300 or best offer Call between 4:00pm and 6:00 pm 385-3378 10-27-10-29 Some automobiles are be­ ing driven around with one headlight noticeably dimmer than the other. While one manufacturer uses this to show the bulb is burned out and still mark the car's position to oncoming traffic, the Automotive Parts & Accessories Association says this condition is usually caused by excessive resistance in the headlight grounding circuit. It is a condition that is not difficult to correct - you can do it yourself. Find the wires coming from the back of the malfunctioning headlamp assembly. One of three is going to divide from the other two and be fastened by a screw to the sheet metal or a structural member in the area of the headlamp or the radiator. Remove this screw and sahdpaper the terminal and the metal area to which it is fastened to a metal-bright fin­ ish. CLEAN + LUBPiCAtE TAM5S + CONkACbS !w\ properly because it is stripped, replace it with a larger screw, or a bolt and nut with a star washer on it. Fasten the ground wire terminal to the sheet metal tightly to assure a good cir­ cuit-to-ground for the head­ light. If the wire itself is frayed or has several strands broken, replace it. In most cases, the fore­ going will correct the prob­ lem of a dim headlight. If, however the headlight still does not operate as intended, remove the bulb and check the wires and .socket connec­ tor inside the headlamp as­ sembly for worn insulation, looseness or corrosion. Apply electrical tape to any detected worn spots in the insulation. Sandpaper the three prongs on the back of the headlight bulb to metal brightness and do the same for the interior contacts of the socket, using an emery board trimmed down to per­ mit its entry into the socket. Application of a light coat­ ing of lubricant before re­ connecting will help retard future corrosion on these contacts. When reconnecting the bulb to the socket, examine the fit of each of the three contacts for looseness. If any is encountered, adjust by bending either the male or female parts of the contacts to assure a tight fit for each. ^BEND AS NEEDED to ASSUME GOOD CONi^ct REMINDER...With elec­ tion day just around the cor­ ner, Jeanine Towey takes to the surf at Daytona Beach, Fla. to let everyone know the patriotic thing to do is vote for the candidates of your choice November 2.

The world s largest annual masquerade party will take place this Halloween as more than 30 million school children become trick-or-treaters for an evening. As the children assume their make-believe roles of witches and goblins, real dangers of accident and fire lurk in the night, warns the Insurance Information institute. Halloween is the one time of the year that so many children will be roaming their neigh­ borhoods at dusk and after dark. Motorists who must drive on All Hallow's Eve are urged to use extra caution on the road-and when backing out of driveways. The Institute cautions that motorists should be especially alert for children darting out from behind parked cars. As the nation's little ghosts and pranksters make their annual appearance this Wisdom is the art of proportion. .1 PET COLUMN GIVEAWAY Free: Male collie spaniel mix, all shots and tag, good watch dog and pet.

The Institute of­ fers these suggestions: -Escort small children Make sure older trick-or- treaters carry a flashlight. - Widen the eyeholes of your children's masks to increase visibility. Better still, use facial make-up instead of masks. -Choose Halloween costumes that are made of bright or light colored fabric that will be easily visible to drivers. Put reflective tape on dark apparel and trick-or-treat bags. In addition, costumes should be made of fire-resistant materials whenever possible. -Keep lighted jack o'lanterns and decorative candles out of the reach of children and away from flammable materials such as draperies, upholstered furniture and paper decorations. As always, keep matches and smoking materials where children** cannot get at them ?

And this, says the Illinois State Bar association, can be cleared up easily. Simply put, the ISBA says, an executor is the financial manager and decision-maker of the estate of the decendent. One area of confusion lies in the difference between an administrator and an executor under a will.Their roles are virtually identical, the sole difference being the fact that an executor is named by the person making the will, while an administrator is named by the court when a person dies without having written a will, or without naming an executor, or the named executor cannot act. Ordinarily an executor receives a fee for serving, although this can be waived. In some situations it may be beneficial to waive the fees when the executor ;is. m. beneficiary of the estate because the executor's fees are considered ordinary income and subject to federal income tax, while inheritance is not subject to federal income tax.

Bonding is necessary in many cases, but generally not when the sole beneficiary is named as executor. In that case, says the ISBA, it's merely an additional expense. The ISBA also recommends that contingent executors be named in the event that the first named executor should die or be unable to act before the estate is settled. This would provide an orderly transition without having to go into court to ask that an administrator be named. Of course, a person named as executor is not obligated to serve in that capacity, so it is a good idea to be sure to have the permission of the proposed executor before adding his name to the will. Banks also serve as executors in some cases, although banks may not be desirable when there is a small estate. Thus, knowing what the executor of a will is--and some of the finer points in naming a person to serve in that capacity-can smooth the transition period in settling an estate and it can save money in the long run. FT SENIOR £ MJCITIZEN'S ^ CORNER Why 65? The idea of a regular retire­ ment age goes back at least to the 16th Century -- when the working population was con­ sidered to consist of only of those persons under the age of 50 A census of a Venetian trading port at the close of the 16th Century 1 found only one out of 40 people J survived past the age of 50 Today, however, people over 65 ' account for more than one-tenth the population of the United States. It was not until 1889 that Germany adopted the first com­ pulsory old-age benefits Chan­ cellor Bismarck first established' the magic age of 65 for retire­ ment at that time Later devel­ opments in Great Britian fol­ lowed the same pattern. The United States in 1935 adopted the Social Security Act which pro­ vided benefit payments on or af­ ter January 1, 1942, for the in­ sured -- if qualified -- on at­ taining the age of 65 or over. Over the intervening years in this country, most pension plans established 65 as the normal retirement age to match that set by the Social Security Act.
