It was a highway because it led to the low portage connect-- ings with the St. Joseph river and was also a main trail to the Detroit country and the eastern .Great Lakes. | So it came about that the French Canadians, always friendly with the Indians, trading withsthem, marry-- ing among them. © t "Legends and Tales on the Kankakee," is ceived. it you see straight lines up thoL'gnni walls of bricks. _ Each line mierks the begining of an addition.

I When women discovered that their legs were a thing of beauty aId be-- gan displaying them to the world, a pleasing and recent evolution, a new industry was born in Kankakee. A monument to ladies legs. --"Wise men who saw opportunity in ladies' legs invented and patented a metal "shaver' which gives the exact, ex-- :::ite and required form to. silk Fhey are said to control the world's visiblesupply of these? shap-- ers. leasing them, and you and 1, and Re--Discovering Illinois in commercial bothoutlnputofthom. and on the part of the bank's customer.

From ladies' legs we will turn to base ball. . Kankakee has long been known, far and wide, as the home of the State Hospital for the Insane. Baseball and insanit=, it seems, have something in common. This because the average number of patients, dur-- ing the anon--baseball season, is 3800.. When the baseball season op-- ens, 1 was told, patients begi. to come in. Wher baseball is at its height there will be, probably, 4,200 in the hosoital. 1 had .heard of uveople "going «crazy adout baseball, but this is the firse tangible proof cf it that it.s come to me Getting back to Kankakee's indus-- tries. It seems that the industries that tkave come here mostly bave grown-- swiftly. It secms to be a place for industries. Why? The matter of the Kankakee Belt Route is pointed out. It runs in an are frfom South tend, Ind., through Momence, Kankakee, Dwight Streat-- or and Dupue to Zearing, II!. The Kanakakee Belt Route takes freight around Chicago, toching all rail-- roads, saving Cays and delays. Beeause it connects all roads out of Chicago east and all roads out of Chicagso west, without the thru-- Chicago haul, it is doing a vast business.

Or in colonial style coper roofed for $85. Jos-- eph H. Dodson, president, American Audobon Association, has chosen the shore of the beautiful Knakakee riv-- er for his home. He calls it Bird Lodge. -- Mr. Dodson is first friend of all the birds of the earth. _ And he has found a way to make his friendship for birds pay profits. He is the sauthor of "Your Bird Friends and How to Win Them." It begins with a simple phrase--*"I love Kankakee is &1 miles south of Chicago by rail; 67 miles by «on-- crete road. Fast t--ains make Chi-- cago, downtown, easily in an hour and a half. Kankakcee in the sum-- mer appears to be a vast park. The Kankakee river is a swift stream, filled with buss. There is plenty of out of doors here and that brings birds." _ He has ircorporated 4sim-- self and Joseph H. Dodson, Inc, has a world wide business in all maner of things that, have to do with birds. He sells, by mail, binaculars, color-- ed pictures of birds, literature, feed-- ing stations. _ I missed him for he is now in Miami where the birds are. us Governor Len Small lives in hank-- akee. _ He spends every 'glek end there, coming from Springfield. He nm'one of th> three banks and one'of the two da'ily newspapers. Combined deposits of all three banks is $12,000,000. _ Governor Smaill is one of Kankakees' doughty business men. And. in the passing, Kankakee will point out that Melville E. Stone, grand old man of the Associated Press, in his youth used to 'teach school down in the country just out of Kankakee. Kankakee believes itself strateg-- ically located for growth, prosper-- y and industrial development. It ;dnta out that industries here are oing well It Fas a new incus-- try coming in. _ That's the Taylor Wells Clothing Co., of Chicago. It is concentrating its plants, now in Chicago, Lemont and Joliet, in Kan-- kakee.
