COLBY, Illinois Chamber mf Commerce Champaign business men press me to herald to the world at large that Champaign is the main merchandising place for the student body and the faculty of the University of Illinois and all that has grown up about it. They want it known that Champaign is the larger twin of the two cities sometimes known as Champaign-Ur-- bana. To give a picture of the situation in these twin towns it is necessary to turn the hands of the clock backward about seventy-five years. When the Illinois Central built from Chicago to Cairo in the early 'fifties it missed Urbana, county seat of Champaign county, by about two miles. The railroad station was first called West Urbana. Between the two towns was two miles of open farmland. Seeking a more distinctive nomenclature the people of West Urbana changed the village's name to Champaign. About this time a small educational institute grew up between the two villages. Agitation was started for a state university in 1864. Many towns wanted it. . Politicians were active. Jacksonville, the greatest institutional town in Illinois, put forward strong claims. So did Bloomington. But it was awarded to the Champaign-Urbanft combination in 1867 for a reason. The price paid to the state to get the university was $100,000 in Champaign county bonds, payable in ten years at 10 per cent interest; a gift in fee simple of the Urbana and the ACME CHICKS are produced from | Champaign' Institute /buildings and INSPECTED AMERICAN CERT-O-1 grounds of ten acres, 160 acres of CULD flocks.

The university opened a year later with seventy-seven students This story is about Champaign, not Urbana. But the twain cannot be separated. Champaign admits that Urbana holds the laboratory in which brains are built up to super-functioning. But Champaign claims to be the home of the university's athletics as well as being its chief merchandising place. Champaign is the home of the great Memorial Statium, built at a cost of $2,000,000 and seating 60,000 people. Each of the 187 columns is engrave'd with the name of some one-time student who gave his life in the World War! Champaign is the home of the great university Armory with its drill hall 200x400 feet. Here 2,955 men are this spring studying military under a staff of sixty U. S. army officers and instructors. Six branches of service taught--infantry, cavalry, artillery engineering, air and hospital corps. Two million d611ars worth of. army paraphernalia, property of the federal government, is now in Chanipaign for use jn this work. . Champaign is also the home of the new men's gymnasium connected by a tunnel with the armory. The gym floor is 122x189 feet and has permanent seating (rapacity for 3,500 people. Temporary bleachers can be put up raising this to 7,000. Champaign, I am also informed, is the home of almost all of the seventyseven fraternities that have grown up about the university. In other words. Champaign is identified chiefly with the men's activities of the school. The population of Champaign in 1915 was 16,487. In 1920 it had grown «to 18,621 and in 1925 to 22,- 183. It is probably about 24,000 today. Urbana has about 15,000. These figures are exclusive of the student body of 12.761. That means conservatively 50,000 persons resident in the two communities during the school year. Seven banks in Champaign have total combined deposits of $10,- 300,000. Business men tell me it is estimated that the students spend not less than $8,000,000 a year in Champaign and that agricultural products from the immediately surrounding farm territory run to $24,000,000. Champaign was the third largest corn producing county in the state in 1925, being exceeded only by MjcLean and LaSalle counties. While the Illinois. Central shops in Champaign employ 475 people and there a few other scattering industrial plants the city, is comparatively speaking, without large industries. Manufacturies are wanted but due to the overshadowing importance of the state university little has been done to build Champaign into a manufacturing city. So closely knit are the affairs of Urbana and Champaign that they have a joint street car system, joint water system and joint sewage disposal system. The telephone system is also as unit. Urbana, Champaign and the university, which is midway between the business sections of the two towns, each have their own fire department-- but in case of any large fike by standing arrangement they all act as a unit. Because of its large proportion of young manhood and womanhood, due to the university, Champaign has more than its normal share of good furnishings stores, restauarants and motion picture theatres. Youth will dress well and have its pleasures. For that reason business in Champaign is unusually progressive. Some even claim that the finest business houses outside of Chicago are in Champaign. Thai, is a large claim fgr merchandising in Illinois cities is • on a high plane and its cities are prosperous. But youth in all its wholesomeness and vigor has made its mark here.

This should convince Pat that he has some friends who would like to boost him up to the pinnacle of fame. It is claimed that votes he. received were entirely unsolicited. Farmers who go out of town to buy steel tanks make a great mistake. Mat Engeln is making one of the finest tanks on the market which he guarantees for years. The wind last Friday made business very quiet in Mcrfenry, the flying dust making it very disagreeable for pedestjains. The hose carts were brought .^ut and the business streets flooded which helped matters somewhat. In some places the river bed was almost dry, the wind fairly holding the water back. Rock bass and sun fish have been greedy the past week and the tempting worm dangling to a hook has ended the career of many nice fish. Jos. Engeln caught nearly enough to fill a market basket yesterday. At the bay black bass and pickerel have been striking in a way to gladden the heart of an enthusiastic disciple of Walton. A Plaindealer representive visited the Ringwood nuresry last week and was courteously piloted through the grounds by the genial proprietor; J. V. Buckland. Few people outside of this township are aware of the magnitude of business transacted at this place every spring and summer. All first-class meat has advanced in price on an average of about two cents per pound. Don't blame the local butchers, for they are powerless and feel the effects as much as the consumer. Their sales have fallen off considerably during the past two weeks. Many people are satisfied with eggs and fish while others who have enjoyed porter house and sirolin are now getting along with cheaper cuts. T April, 1877 The name of the Elgin Citizen has been changed to the Elgin Free Press. We doubt much the policy of thil move of the new proprietor. O Bishop has just put a new safe ifi his warehouse that weighs over three thousand pounds. It is one of the best manufacture, and is finished off in fine style. The Band took advantage of the warm weather and gave our citizens some fine music on the streets on Monday evening. As we have before said their is no Band in the northwest that have been organized as short a time as they have, that can compete with them as they are now fully equal to many bands that have been organized for years.

Since there are many dips and other preparations that will control such parasites when applied externally, much uncertainty and delay may be avoided and best results obtained at least cost by4 using only) tested and proved methods. Use external remedies for external parasites, and internal remedies under proper prescription for internal parasites, most of which are worms. •mm r:- We've Which Things Were Checip Here's a message for everyone--married or single, young or old, man or woman.

It is occasionally due to disease of the digestive tract, or to lack of exercise. If worms are responsible fair the trouble give the hog one drop of\henopodium for each 2 pounds of live^sweight. Mix the chenopodium with Wfiunces of castor oil for each hog. fbe dose of chenopodium for adult hogs is from 2 to 4 cubic cenwhole as compared with the college timeters. For young pigs the dose He should be decreased according to age, size, and condition. Always have a veterinarian administer the treatment, as otherwise accidents or poor results will probably be the outcome. When digestive troubles are causing thumps, withold food for a day, then give the infected animal 3 to 6 ounces of Epsom salts. body of twenty-five years ago. replied: "There is less average boisterousness, less rowdyism. There is less average drinking, less gambling. I believe average moral standards are higher." -- So it would appear that, despite our fears, the student body of our great university perhaps is growing better and better every day in every way even as Champaign is progressing.
