It is during this period that greatly increased water volume must pass through the system adding Ao the average year round flow from homes, industries and business houses. If the sewerage system is inadequate to accommodate this added volume, community health and sanitary conditions are menaced. Not only filled to capacity, but water frequently backs up into cellars and homes bringing with it the accumulated dirt and germs of a long winter freeze-up. Dirt and germs are deposited upon walls and floors when the water recedes, endangering health as the weather warms up. It is a striking commentary on American progress, say authorities and engineers, that in at least half of our communities sewerage systems are wholly inadequate for the average year rotind volume of waste, not counting the overflow which comes with spring. POLITICAL ADVERTISING CAPPER PRAISES McKINLEY FOR AID GIVEN FARMERS; CITES VOTE ON BIG ISSUES Senator William B. McKinley has been * consistent friend of the farmer, Senator Arthur Capper of Kansa&, publisher of Capper's Weekly and other farm papers, declares in «• letter to State Senator Henry M. Dunlap: .of If others in the senate had been as zealous, relief of farm conditions would have been provided before this, he says. '. » What He Says The letter 1b as follows: ••Replying to your Inquiry ot March 20, relative to the record of Senator William B. McKinley of your state concerning legislation relative to agriculture, I have no hesitancy In saying, and I take great pleasure In doing so, that Senator McKinley, both as a member of the Committee on Agriculture, and on the floor, always has shown a very sympathetic attitude toward the Industry and toward the farmer and his problems. His attitude has been more than sympathetic; It has been intelligent and zealous. "Had all the members of the Sen- ' ate been equally zealous and sympathetic I think we might now be pointing with pride to what has ; been accomplished, Instead of con- t tinulng to urge that Congress deal ! adequately with the situation In which the American farmer finds himself. 9 How Ho Votod. "During the whole of Senator McKlnley's six years of service he has lent his aid to finding solutions for farmers' problems. This is shown both by his utterances and his votes on agricultural measures. "In the Sixty-seventh Congress he •oted for the emergency tariff bill, placing duties on agricultural products, and in the same Congress he Toted for the agricultural credits act, these two measures, in the Judgment of many friends of agriculture, constituting the chief measures beneficial to the farming industry. "In the Sixty-eighth Congress he for a measure to promote agriculture in the Northwest by the encouragement of diversification of crops, through loans. ' • Hat These Pending Bills. "In the present congress no agricultural measures have as yet come The reason for this, reports show, is that in most instances sewerage systems were built years ago and have not been brought up to date since. It is true that extensions have been made as new districts opened up, but the older systems through the business part of town and to the river have in most cases remained as laid ten, twenty, thirty years ago. Older methods of sewerage disposal gradually are being replaced by modrn methods. No longer is mere dumping of sewage into the nearest stream considered good practice. Too many epidemics and high costs of purifying drinking water have forced communities to adopt methods of sewage disposal which eliminate these objectionable features. . Chief among these modern methods is the treatment of community and industrial sewage treatment plants which remove all dangerous wastes and acidfe and return water to the Stream in a condition pure enough to drink Only through th£$e methods can a communit^ be assured of pure drinking water In*"the years to come and to insure the minimum expense for providing potable water. Many states are now pissing laws which are intended to guide communities toward more sanitary and adequate sewage disposal methods in ths future. Illinois has passed a conservancy district law which allows any section of the state adjoining a polluted streajm to form itself into a conservancy district and compel sewage treatment in .that district. The people of the Fox River district are now forming themselves, into such a district, being the first district of the state to take advantage of this new law. Under the guidance of Rodney H. Brandon work of„ organizing the district is going rapidly forward and it is hoped to POLITICAL ADVERTISING 8ENATOR WM. B. McKINLEY to a vote, but Senator McKinley has been heard In speeches on the floor In encouragement of agricultural relief legislation, and he Is the author of three bills, all of them designed to afford relief to the agricultural situation. "One of these provides for national co-operation In the Industry. "Another seeks to stimulate foreign commerce In agricultural products by the Issuance of, debentures on agricultural exports. "A third amends the Federal Farm Loan Act, making more liberal terms relative to loans to cooperative marketing associations for capital purposes. "All these measures will receive due consideration and doubtless will be helpful in reaching whatever conclusion the Congress finally reaches. "Very respectfully, (Signed) ARTHUR CAPPER." have the work well under way by spring. Speaking of this proposed district Brandon says, "Tlfe Fox River is known all over the state if, i not over much pf the country as one of the beauty spots of the middle west. It is a section of progressive towns and rich farming country. Its citizens are desirous of maintaining the river as such a beauty spot and for years have decried the objectionable wastes which are steadily turning the river into one long cess pool. Until last year citizens could do little or nothing toward alleviation of this condition, but under the new conservancy district law are now working toward a general clean-up of the river. It is expected that other parts of the State, observing the progress being made along the Fox Valley, will shortly follow suit." DAIRY CALF CLUB FOR M'HENRY COUNTY In order to enlist the interest of the young people of our farms in the raising of good dairy stock the Farm Bureau has started a dairy calf club eligible to any boy or girl of the county who will abide by the rules. Up to date fifteen names have been sent in and enrolled in this club. It is desired to have at least that many more and from the interest being taken in this project this goal will be easily reached.

Of course such calves will command hiprher prices than just common stuff, but will develop into animals of far greater value.
