" Some of the industries reported as not existing in Illinois are: Firearms, excelsior, bone black (including carbon black and lamp black), grindstones (pulpstones, whetstones, hones, etc.), cast iron pipe, jute and linen goods, peanut roasting and rice cleaning. The Illinois Chamber of Commerce survey finds that there are ten industries in Illinois, not recognized as existing in the survey made by the federal government in 1923, that are now present in greater or lesser degree. These are asbestos textiles, collars (men's) candles, graphite (ground and refined), pens (gold), pens (steel and brass), sand (emery and other abrasives), salt, sulphuric acid and sugar refining. This would mean, then, that instead of 310 out of the 333 recognized manufacturing industries existing in Illinois there are in fact 323 of them in existence. The survey was undertaken not only to show the size and value of the existjjig industries but to determine, if possible, the possibilities of development more than to boast of achievements. The complete report will be avail' able to all who may be interested in studying it. My hired man he told me, "Say if you suppose while you're away, that 111 do two men's work or more and eat cold beans from out the store, you'd better guess again." Then that blamed man walked out and left me flat! I told Sary Jane that, by gum, I guessed we'd have to stay to hum, Miami ain't no place for us without someone at home to fusjs. around and keep the livestock fed, the cows all milked, and ev'ry head of swine filled up with good hot swill; I thought we'd best say home until we got a man we could trust, then us for Florida or bust! Sary Jane said my neighbor tried an ad in that there classified department where the want-ads be. "If he can get one why can't we ?" Sary Jane says; and so I wrote the editor a little note and says, "Just get me, if you can a good old-fashioned hired man; the kind that don't chase round all night, but works and keeps the stock fed up right." I put that letter in the mail, I hope that want-ad will avail to get some man that is a peach; so we can go down to Palm Beach!. DENTISTS T>RS. McCHESNEY & BROWN (Incorporated) "Dr. L W.
