S ob I SAID it was gossip in Cook county political circles that Lake ecounty would lose some of the re-- munerative state jobs Governor Smail handed out prior to and just after his trial here; that the Cook county fellows don't think Lake county rates those jobs; that among the "eansy money" jobs the Cook eounty chaps want for one af them-- selves is the Commerce Commission Appointment held by Billy Smith., IF THE CHILDREN are not sat-- isfied with their Christmas pres ents. you might take them to the homes of poverty and ask if they want to swap. ® SOME EMPLOYERS come around and pat their workers on the back every day. And some employers pay good salaries. JUDGE EDWARDS is resorting to stern and convincing measures-- jail sentences and heavy fines--in the contempt of court cases before him, and is doing more to end per-- sistent and repeated law violation than has heretofore been accomp-- lished, for which he is commended by just about --everybody except the blind piggers and those men who profit by their violations.

Mr. Stratton's letter follows: "Severe sleet storm has endanger-- ed quail in Illinois. May mean ex-- Jermination, Telegraph and tele-- phone out of commission. Please urge farmers and_sportsmen to put out feed for these birds. Radio can be of great value to spoftsmen and general public, since all other means of eommunit;ation have failed. If you.will do this, it will put the Game Department and sportsmen of Illi-- nois under deep obligation to you." Sportsmen have long claimed that they were real conservationists and that they were always in the lead during emergencies such as this. Here is an opportunity to. show whether this is really true. How many of you sportsmen gre willing to go to your hunting ground and put out feed for the quail or arrauige with the farmers to do it for you?
