This arrangement was made as the dele- (fates went home, following the 15-hour Session daring which Cook county's legislative membership was limited to less than a majority in both senate %nd house. The down-state delegates paving handled their "steam roller" efficiently, evinced no regret over the Result. Their expression was'general that "Chicago got what was coming %> it, and if it doesn't like what we handed it, let it quit" This seems to be precisely what the Chicago men 'frill do. There are some conservatives, however, In both camps who fDiay make the attempt tib obtain a Jjjontpromlse, as the second reading #111 not be reached until late in the Week. The impression prevails that flEfter perfunctory sessions to the end M the week tke body will adjourn until the fall of 1921, after the nert Session of the legislature. * Bloomington.--Apple growers of Illinois are complaining that the suspenfion of the cider mills, following an Unfavorable ruling in relation to the Etead act, has seriously affected consumption of the fruit. At a ial meeting of the Central Illinois Agricultural society the ban was given extended discussion. While the manufacture of cider is not prohlblt- **• the Volstead act prohibits cider Irith more than 2 per cent alcohol. It claimed that It is Impossible for the elder mills to operate with such 4 restriction and most of them have flosed. Apple growers assert that fne-flfth of the crop goes into cider .lb normal times, and the loss of revenue from this source will reach a rge sum. While the yield of apples Illinois this year reached 1,500,000 ushels, the price has been unsatisactorv. The cost of packing and lpplng has vastly increased. Springfield*--More than half of the >rivate banks of Illinois have made pplication to the state auditor for itate charters to comply with the act y the Illinois legislature In 1017.

It is the Illinois Farmers' Grain Managers' club, composed of managers of farmers' co-operative grain elevators. Its objects are thus explained by its president, F. W. Stout, manager of the Askum Farmers* Elevator company: "It is the purpose of this club, located in the greatest agricultural and industrial state'in the Mississippi valley, to create a broader spirit of co-operation which will be the basis of business development and progress.

' Bodora, Kan.--In the line if tkodel law abiding localities, Sir Thomas More wrote a piece about a place he called Utopia. Although Sir Thomas failed to say so In so many words, he may 4>e quoted as asserting In effect that "Good morning, judge," was a remark one never would hear In Utopia. Utopia, however, exists only In Imagination.. Eudora, now--it's in Kansas. For the last two years at least there has been no call to have the law on a soul In Eudora. It was at that time that the last of Eudora's police judges passed out of office and the office passed out with him. Since even longer ago what once was the lockup has been simply the basement of the city hall, no more, no less. And that strong arm of the law, the city marshal, today would be a mere figurehead did he not unite In his person the additional functions of street commissioner and grave digger. Back in 1857 Eudora was colonised by people from Chicago, the Kansas. City Star says. But before long, like the colonies of ancient Grece, she cast off the yoke of the mother city and now they have not even a police court in common. The town took its name from the lithesome daughter of an Indian chieftain of the friendly Shawnee tribe. There may have been some thought that the honor should go to the chief himself, but his name was Paschal Fish, and Eudorans, ever considerate of the future, hesitated to fasten on posterity such a P. O. address as Fish, Kan. The stormy days of the Civil war Inflicted no more on Eudora than an attack of nervous prostration when Quantrell passed within three miles on his way to Lawrence. But true peace did not begin to settle on Eudora until Kansas went "dry." Dtscou raging for Lawyers. About twenty years ago there were two lawyers In town, and when they died they left no successors. It hnd become evident that Eudora was tio Held for legal talent. One old Inhabitant thus states the present legal sitnation: "There be still," he drawls, "some liars left around these parts, but no lawyers." In the folklore which already Is beginning to surround the regime of the last police judge Is this anecdote:. A culprit was haled Into court oil some trivial offense. "Guilty or not guilty?" asked the Judge--then before the prisoner could answer--"You must be guilty. If you were not guilty they wouldn't be bringing you in here." Only once has crime reared Its hydra head and looked really nasty In Kudorn. ^Thnt was when a 19-year-old bandit robbed the Eudora State bank twice In a month, shot a policeman and put a bullet In the Jaw of Fred Starr, cashier and present mayor. They still live on that excitement of 1909, back In Eudora, and they declare It'll last 'em. Since then there hasn't been a thing. unless you count the time a negro whipped out a knife and slashed a new suit of store clothes which John Paxton had just put on. Yet Ifs Lively Withal. Don't believe for a moment thai all that rectitude means Eudora Isn't modern. It's a thrivlug little city of 650 Inhabitants and they rate a £er capita wealth of $864, according to bank deposits. *** Eudora Is not a candle light village. There's electric lighting, twenty-four hours of It to the day. And you should see Main street of a Saturday night, when the movies are open. Motor cars (almost every Eudoran has one or two) are lined op several deep along the curb. Sut the most recent Innovation Is the paving Just voted In by the council. Three miles of the city's streets are to be treated to an asphalt surface and no more will the dust whirl In over Ed PUla's dry goods stock or car springs be jeopardised. But most of all, has the paving come as a boon to Herb Landon, street commissioner. Herb, It has been mentioned, also Is city marshal and grave digger. Baffled as he was in those two branches of his caVeer Herb has turned the forces of his pent up energy and enthusiasm Into the street making job. Such is the town of Eudora, which long ago passed out of the class which Is designated as "one horse." WILL USE NO MONEY a- Big Eastern Concern Plans Innovation in Business. Will Uae Checks and Trade Acceptances to Make Paymenta of All Kinds. Rochester, N. Y.--A large business bouse having headquarters in this city has undertaken to conduct Its affairs entirely without the use of money. Instead of currency. It Intends to use checks, trade acceptances and travel checks to make payments of every kind, including its pay roll. As the concern deals with more than 800,000 individual customers, the result of the experiment will be watched with interest. The company's reason for adopting this method is given as an effort to demonstrate a means of ending the epidemic of pay-roll robberies and "to show that modern business may be conducted most efficiently without the use of 'small changfe,' thus leaving the nation's money where it belongs, in the banks, to serve as the basis of credit" The announcement says even cw fares, hotel bills and r&llroad fares for the company's-force of several hundred salesmen and other sundries are to be paid by check. All petty Items, even the one-cent postage stamp, will be paid henceforth by check, and "no currency of any amount or denomination is to be carried In any form as comapny property." To meet the pay roll of Its factory, the company has offered to employees either a regular pay check or the option of receiving on pay day a deposit slip, showing that his earnings for the week have been deposited to his credit In a local bank. This plan Is expected by the house to prove popular with the thrifty class of employees and to Increase the volume of bank deposits. Executive employees who have no banking account have been advised to start one at one*. Real "Dough" la Baked, Kokonio, Ind.--Mrs. Grant WPlghtman knows what it is to bake "real dough."

Shanghai.--Millions of dollars have been subscribed here to the general fund raised In various centers in China to provide relief for the Inhabitants of a great belt spread ov*r seven provinces In northern China where crops have failed and whole populations were starving to death. It was estimated that the famine, While relief organizations were being formed in Peking and other centers and the Chinese government had set in motion ponderous and slow moving machinery, about 40 leading Chinese organized the Seven Provinces Famine Relief association, and within n week had received contributions amounting to a little leas than 82,- 000,000. . Foreign aid In the campaign for funds was enlisted at a mass meeting that was attended by representatives of the American and British chamber of commerce, the American Association of China and a number of other foreign organizations.

One fteaaon Why Cigarette te SMNltNh Boon In Old Man's Mouth-- As to Women Smokers. Tobacco Is a weed grown In a warn climate and consigned to a warmer climate by persons who have hot learned to chew or smoke it. A taste for tobacco is acquired by males during the adolescent, or foolish, period of life, Robert Quillen writes in the Saturday Evening Post. The small boy desires to smoke for the same reason that he desires whiskers and long pants. These things are to him the outward and visible evidence of manhood, and manhood Is desirable because It makes an end of restraint. He would be a man, therefore be learns the vices of a man. It is a hard commentary on the nature of mortals that boys covet the vice* rather than the virtues of their elders and think of maturity in terms of license. Every mother knows that noise in evidence of virtue. Quiet children are engaged In mischief. When the boys of a neighborhood are playing together out of doors and neither shout nor laugh attests their innocence one may assume that mischief is afoot. If little Willie comes to the house an hour later very white about the lips and a little uncertain in his gait and confesses a yearning to talk about heaven one may assume that the mischief had to do with a first rendetvotas with Lady Nicotine. The chewing of tobacco is more prevalent In rural districts than in cities. One who chews feels more at ease Is wide-open spaces, where it to not difficult to dispose of the by-prodvct. Students of human misery know little of their subject until they have observed a confirmed chewer loaded to capacity and held by convention where no friendly receptacle Invites one to lighten cargo. As a rule tobacco chewers enjoy good health, but one does not know whether their physical well-being Is occasioned by the tobacco V>r by the necessity of remaining out of doors. Smoking is more nearly universal than chewing. Cigarettes are smoked by boys, by young men and by women. One seldom sees a cigarette in the mouth of an old man. It may be that an old man knows better; or It may be that one who smokes cigarettes doesn't linger here long enough to become old. A boy may smoke cigarettes without becoming either a bandit or an Idiot, but he can't smoke cigarettes and make the track team, nor can he smoke cigarettes and head his class In mathematics. The harm done by cigarettes is frequently overstated. All proselyting la prone to exaggeration. Until recent years women addicted to cigarettes were divided Into two classes--those who had fallen so low that the opinion of the majority did not Interest them and those who had climbed so high that the opinion of the majority did not Interest them. Today smoking among women Is not confined to a class or condition. Those who wish to smoke do so without apparent loss of caste. Doubtless It I* their right. Yet an old-fashioned man finds cause to be thankful that the habit Is not general among women who bear children. When I observe a smartly tailored woman drawing solace from a cigarette In the lobby of a great hotel I am not conscious of aversion. But I do not believe that I could rise to equal tolerance If I should observe a sweet-faced woman In gingham darning holes in children's •tocklngs and pausing occasionally for a deep pull at a cigarette. A pipe is pleasant company for the One who furnishes the draft, but It affords little pleasure to the innocent bystander. As pity prompts us to espouse the cause of one who has been cast out by society, so does our love for a pipe grow as others frown upon It and sniff tbelr displeasure. The erring son holds the greater part of the mother's love; the lost sheep Is the most desirable In the flock; the worth of a pipe may be measured by the degree of Its disrepute. The pipe smoker may mislay his treasure, but lie does not despair of finding it If hi* eyes cannot discover it he need hut close them and follow his nose. One who has learned to love a pipe can select his own from a dozen of similar forms and age though he be blindfolded.
