Two years ago DeProit Gefeated John Converse by a voie of 273 to 173. Accordingly Gartison and DeProft are lined--up against each other this year for village --president and sey-- eral issues are involved in the preés-- ent campaign. -- Water Works an issue President DeProft is urging the adoption of the $14,000 bond issue which will provide Fox Lake's first municipal water plant. At present the village gets its water from the wells and the supply has never been satisfactory. -- Accordingly President DeProft launched a campaign for the establishment of a reals water system and estimates have assured him that $14,000 will construct it.

College of Agriculture, which made the survey. 4 The most striking and encouraging thing about the picture, according to P. E. Johnston, who compilled the fig-- ures, is the fact that each of the best third of the farms in the group of 108 paid $1,300 more, on the aver-- ago, than the poorest third. Another point's that few of the 108 farmers had kept accounts. Studies show that record keepers earn about 2 per cent more, on the average, than a cross section group of farmers such as rep-- resented in the Bond county survey. Records taken on the= 108 farma .

To.make conversation, Kath-- erine asked (in the same manner her mother might have used) : "Billy, are you married?" ""No," the little boy. replied; "but 1 knew a man onte who diéd."0 K The 108 farmers got an average of $196 each for their year's labor, after allowing 5 per cent for the use of capital invested and paying u* their operating expenses, the s y re vealed. Looking at their incomes in another way, they realized only 1.86 per cent on the use of an average of $11,195 invested-- in their individual businesses, after they had paid. all operating® expenses and set . aside $7142 to pay for their own labor and that of~ uhet'xmbon of the family who helped the farm work. FARMERS GOT $196 FOR YEAR OF WORK Farm Work Pays Small Per-- cent on Investment U. of I. Experts Deciare. MUST show some of the reasons for the wide difference. in the earnings of the best and poorgét farms, Johnston pointed out. Not only were crop yilelds bigger on farms in the best paying group, but also the operators of these farms grew three times as many acres of wheat a farm as the operators of the least profitable farms at a time when wheat was a paying crop, Then too, livestock re-- ceipts were more than twice as high on the most profitable farms, largely because more livestock was fed and the receipts were greater for every $100 worth of livestock kept. Also, the farms in the most profitable group grew five acres of sweet clover and alfaifa a farm, while the farms in the least profitable group grow less than an acre of, these crops.. This may ex-- plain the bigger crop yields and live-- stock receipts from the farms in the most profitable group, Johnston said: 15 From Coast to Cogst A SURVEY SHOWS and face by Dr. Henry J.

A smart Englishwoman usually spends $2,500 a year on her face and hair alone, according to this expert evidence, and there are some women who spend at least twice that amount. In an election that was almost with-- out a contest Police Magistrate Edwin Burgess was re--elected to office in Lake Forest Tuesday over Thomas Atteridge, former city treasurer, by a ¥ote of 662 to 447. Those returned to office ipcluded Hay'or Farwell Winston, and Alder-- men CGeorge Richardson, William, A. Pappe, A. B. Dick, Jr., Lawrence D. Smith and Lawrence Vauchs. It is estimated that $25,000,000 are spent on face powder alone, $20,000,-- 000 on rouge and lipstick, $9,000,000 on beauty creams and $20,000,000 on various methods of rejfuvenation.

It developed following the conference in Waukegan on Tuesday that Mr. Obee insisted on stepping aside in order to give way to Mr. Holdridge and permit the contest for the chairmanship to sift down to the two men--Holdridge of Wau-- kegan and Suprervisor B.

IN ADV ANCE Winnebago county .today, through its judicial convention, instructed its delegates to be for the three sit-- ting judges, A. E. Fisher, Edward Shurtieff and Claire C. Edwards. :::{c Fisher was opposed on the balloft by Attorney Arthur E. Maynard bg: on the second ballot it was made. unanimous for Judge Fisher. . Lake county votes Friday. It is expected that Chief of Police Frank Tiffany and his raiders will be called before the court to testify as to their raid. The rumor has it that liquor was found in the little cottage, not under an injunction, and that the police elso invaded the basement «of the brick-- bungalow ~where Wojton makes his home. It was reported after the raid that Chief Tiffany or-- dered Wojton to "open up" and that Wojton, by tnuring a coat hook on the wall of the basement, removed a gection of the wall and opened into e long narrow vault wiere the liquor was stored. WOJTON FACES A PRISON TERM OA FEDFRAL CHARSE John E. Woijton, dethroned king o' the North Chicago bootleggere, todz: faces a term of 1, 2 or possibly thrc« years in the Federal prison at For Leavenworth, Kas. and the forfeitur of his $1,500 injunction boind as FeJ eral dry agents, headed by R. E. Thomac of Waukegzan, left this morn ing in a truck loaded with Wojton' booze and the Federal Court in Chi cago as their destination. With the removal to Chicago of th« store of liquor, Wojton will be calles before Federal Judge James H. Wilk erson and face two federal charges One will be the violation of the Fed eral injunction which restrained hiz from keeping liquor in his new bun galow. On this charge he is liable to a forfeiture of his $1,500 bow! and in addition may be given a sentence of a year and a day in Federal prison. The most serious aspect of the cagse, how-- ever, is the second -- offense chargse which, in U. S. courts, constitutes a felony and makes him liable to a two year sentence in prison. It was just about a year ego that KFederal agents swooped_ down jon Wojton's. bungalow, carried off a lot of liquor, clapbed 'an injunction on his place and assessed a hearvy fine egainst him. It was after that he op-- ened the little cottage next door.. When the raid was first made, the report way given out that liquor was found only in the cottage next door and if Wojton can prove that, he will be cleared of the charge of violating a Federal injurction. As <chief aids for making Illinois "smafe for corn," the investigators will seck mnew strains and varieties of corn which --are adapted to corn borer conditions, --cultural practices that will aid in the growing of this adapted corn and methods of hand-- ling and--cleaning up corn land for the meximum control of borers. As one of the first steps in this program existing machines for borer control will be tested under actual field con-- ditions. Thomas attended tnhe trial of VWoj ton in North Chicago on Monday fol lowing the raid by the North Chicag: police on the two Wojton residencs buildings on Victoria etreet, Norti Chicago. At the trial, befere Justic: of the Pearce Harold J. Tallett, Woi ton did not testify, but the liquor wa:s presented in evidenca and Wojtos found guilty on the two counts of pos sessing liquor in the $20,000 bungalow which is under a Federal padlock and the little cotteage next door. He was fined $200 on each count. U OF ILLINOIS PLANNING FIGHTS DN CORN BORER Urbane, 111., April 1%.--"King Corn" will be able to holid his lilinois throne against the attacking army of Euro-- pea» corn borers and ctill pay a profit into the pockets of the state's farm-- ers, if plans which the U. of 1. college of _ agriculture~ investigators are launching to guard his sovereign rights do not go astray. State and federal forces have just cleaned up the first and only known infestation of the borer and more severe infes-- tations now seem inevitable. Investi-- gators in the farm mechanics and agronomy departments of the college therefore propose to work out ways and means whereby corn can be grown at .},"mm on llinols farms, in spite of future infestations. MAY FORFEIT $1,500 BO Immediately after the trial Thomas acting for the Federal government took possession of the liquor and named City Treasurer C. Homer Red ding as custodian of the liquor which at first estimates was placed <et s value of $5,000 but which later was said. to be worth about $2,000 at pro bibition prices. _ DEVELOP Hope to Save King Corn For Hlincois and Make Money .
