This has just been computed by a research laboratory. If you had to heat that much water all at once, of course you couldn't begin to lift the bucket to the stove. Yet you lift and strain and tire yourself just as much heating your 15 gallons a little at a time, in buckets, teakettles and wash boilers.

Illinois State Fair Shows Great Growth MTOBiff DAYS V\7TTH October come die dull days that presage winter. A Queen Anne Home Heater will banish die chilliness of the season's most autumnal day, and permeate the home with warm, moistened air, making it as comfortable and health* ful as a summer day outdoors. Let us show you die beautiful Queen Anne today* You. will appreciate its beauty and entire utility. Terwis If Desired %m. H. AlttioCf --HARDWARE-- West McHenry, HI. ov^UEENANNE hoiUe heater Generally acclaimed the peer cf all previous agricultural expositions, the 1925 Illinois State Fair has passed into history, having presented the most complete, extensive and educational display in the seventy-two years of its existence. Live stock exhibits ran into the thousands, choice specimens, with champions and grand champions among the different breeds, were attracted from many states. In the cattle department, grand champions from four states were included in that mammoth entry, representing 132 exhibitors; 120 exhibitors were listed in the swine department; 159 in the horse department; and 60 in the sheep and goat department. The poultry show with more than 7,000 birds on display was without question the greatest assembly of poultry on record. Educational features for 1925 showed a phenomenal growth <over previous years, and Were presented in a manner that would enable those participating, as well as the general public, to derive the greatest possible benefit from them. Nearly 500 animals were exhibited by the boys' and girls' clubs, in the baby beef, sheep and pig departments. Close to 300 pupils were enrolled in the boys' and girls' school. Exhibits of club work in the Dome Building were double those of any previous year. The Domestic Science School, the largest and most thorough school of its. kind in existence, was filled to capacity, with 116 young ladies taking advantage of the two week's course. The better Babies Conference and health examinations for adults were both afforded enlarged quarters for the Fair just closed, yet so great was the interest in these two important departments that the big staff of doctors and nurses were scarcely able to examine the thousands who applied. Virtually 2,000 babies were examined, while in the adult department examinations ran around 500 for each day. Amusement features likewise set a new high standard of excellence, opening with a series of competetive automobile races in which Barney Oldfield's track record of 49 seconds for the mile, set twelve years ago, was reduced to 48 seconds. Super attractions, covering a wide scope in the amusement field, continued to delight the thousands of spectators throughout the eight days. Horse racing on four days brought out many nationally- known turf stars', free acts, including the best numbers now on the road, were shown each day; and the night horse show was generally considered by authorities in that line as the best balanced show of the season Presenting many points of exceptional merit that signalized the Fair Just closed as, the greatest ever, and bringing out a new high attendance record, in spite of the unfavorable weather that was encountered, causes the 1925 exposition to stand as a triumph for the officials who built this great agricultural show. This list is composed of the Han. Len Small Governor; S. J. Stanard, Director of Agriculture; and W. W. Lindley, General Manager of the State Fair and Secretary to the Division of State Fair Advisory Board, whose members are as follows: J. S. Miles, Petersburg president; M. F. Baker, Kankakee Hay Brown, Springfield; A. L. Robison, Jr., Pekin; Robert R. Ward, Benton; A. W. Johnson, Lawrenceville; C. R. Miller Springfield; Leslie P. Vol* Chicago; and Frank W. Morassy, Sheffield. Because of the fact that some new members were appointed to this year's 'Board, it was not possible to begin the work of building the 1925 Fair early in the year, as is usual, and it was not until July 15th that actual work on the exposition, which was to open on September 19th, was actually begun. To W. W. Lindley, General Man ager of the State Fair, goes great credit for having followed out so per fectly the instructions of the Advisory Board, and having built a Fair of this scope and perfection in two months time. Many changes are contemplated in the grounds before the 1926 Fair is ushered in, and the General Manager, is expecting immediate orders from the Advisory Board to proceed with this work, of arranging the grounds so as to provide adequate space for the thousands of exhibits that go to make up this great State institution which grows in value and size each year.

JUTRS. JANE HASKELL, fifty, fat and frivolous, was perturbed. Something behind her blue and snapping eyes proclaimed to the world that she was a mad and a sad woman, as she pattered about preparing a belated breakfast 8he had In some way managed to convince herself that the whole world was against her, even Peterr-her one and only son, no longer loved her. Be had, without consulting her, become engaged to a chit of a girl that worked in the office with him. And to crown hit audacity, Peter had asked his mother to break up her home and "come and live with Myra and me." "Breakfast Is ready, Peter," she cried Into the narrow hallway. "You'll be late. It's almost nine o'clock." "Sorry, mother, but I'll have to rush, rm lata now. Don't woity, mother. •By*" \ A street car came along, clattered to a stop, and Peter climbed aboard. Mrs. Haskell, from behind the. lace curtain, watched the car that carried her son cityward until it lurched out of sight Then she sat down and wept. She was still weeping when, almost an hour later, the mall man's ring broke in upon her sorrow. There was one letter--a thick, gray envelope addfossed to Peter in noticeably nice handwriting, and the flap had opened. Then Jealousy--Jealousy, green-eyed and ruthless, whispered: "Why not read ltf For only a moment she faltered, than she drew the thick, gray paper from Its bulging envelope and read: "Boston, Massachusetts. "June 4th, 1928. Tatar Dear: 1 am sorry to add to your burdea, bdt I have been thinking over what you have confided to me concerning your mother's attitude toward making bar home with us--or rather with me, and, knowing as I do that your income is not sufficient to support two homes, I have thought It best to release JJOU from your engagement--today. I am returning your ring. "There is no one else, Peter, and there never shall be, but I--I simply could not be happy, knowing that I was depriving an aged woman of her home by taking her only support from her; neither could I be happy by Just waiting--waiting for her to die before I--before we--could begin to live, so that Is that, Peter. "It will, I am sure, be a great relief to your mother to know that I have broken with you, and I hope she will be very happy. "With all good wishes, Peter, I am •aylng good-by, but I shall always love you. -MYRA." Mrs. Haskell arose, wiped her eyes and stepped briskly to a panel mirror. She surveyed her stout and stylish figure. "An aged woman--an aged woman!" she jeered at her reflection in the mirror. Ill--H Twenty minutes later she sallied forth, her blue eyes flashed a challenge. It was almost six o'clock that evening when she returned. Later, when Peter came home he found her broiling chops. "You'll not get much supper tonight, Peter," she called to him gaily. "I have been out all day." "Good for you, mother 1" Peter was joyous. "You look as if you have had a happy time--tell us about it" "Not until you eat your supper. I--" Mrs. Haskell checked herself. "Come, Pater, sit down and make up for that breakfast that you didn't get" 1 am hungry, mother," Peter admitted aa he began to eat. After a while his mother said: "When you rushed off this morning, Peter, I sat here thinking--thinking what I would do when you--when you went to housekeeping for yourself ; and I--I decided to do something at once, so I went down to The Smart Hat Shop and applied for work. I begin tomorrow--$80 a week to start. 80 you--" "But you--you don't have tab mother. I--I'm--" "Yea, I know, Peter, but you forget that I--Pm still a young woman. Myra wag surprised--she thought . that I was decrepit I--" "Myra!" Peter gasped. "How--what --where did you see Myra? You haven't--** "I called upon Myra today--thought that I ought to, and I--I think Myra is a nice girl; we had a very pleasant talk. Sha--" "Guess 111 run over," Peter pushed his'chair back. "Myra will like you, mother, I know sha will, just as you like her." And Peter, lighting a cigar on his way out, called from the doorway. "Any mail for me, mother?" And his mother cheerfully replied: "Ho, Peter--just one letter for She."

ILLINISSSBUSK BATTLX WITH BUTLKK • 1 Captain "Red" Grange win lead the University of IWaols football against Butler in theHlinois stadium next Saturday afternoon, unless he happens to be crippled previously, perish the thought. This is what Coach Bob Zuppke says. Assurance that "Red" will play will be a boon to thousands of fans who want to see the All-American back in action. This is the last chancy to see Illinois at home before the Michigan game, October 24, as they journey to Iowa City October 17. For two years now Grangfe has played against Butler. Two years ago the Bulldogs from Indianapolis had things about even when Zuppke inserted Grange who turned the tide. Last year "Zup" did not take a chance with the alert Bulldogs from Hoosierdom and Grange played a good part of the game. There is no guarantee that the Hoosiers will prove easy. They shipped a victory over the Illini in 1922 while Bob Zuppke was down at the Yale-Iowa game obtaining firsthand information which enabled the Illini to play the champion Hawks to a standstill the next week. This year, although Coach Page has lost Woods and Griggs, he still has such veterans as Nipper, Cecil, Hensel, Hitch, Wood ling, Captain Reichel, Kilgore, Puett, Mulholland, and Paul. Butler in its opening game defeated Earlham 32 to 0 and the Illinois reports were to the effect that the Hoosiers looked pretty good. Therefore, the Illini will be surprised if they do not meet with some stubborn resistance. Against Butler Zuppke probably will use his strongest lineup, not only be cause he dosn't care to take any chances but also because it is neces sary to teach teamwork to the inex perienced linemen and the new back field. Great as is Grange it is obvious that he cannot hope to repeat hie sen sational feats of the last two years unless his teammates interfere and block. # The team that Zuppke sent against Nebraska was green and inexperienced to a large extent. By next Satur day with another weak of practice, the Illini should be a much smoother machine. Many fans are planning to attend the game, not only from Illinois but from Indiana. The Butler rooters headed by a band, will come 1000 strong. The Illini announces that there will be no reserved seats jand that nobody need worry, there will be room for everybody.
