MOSHER, Editor and Manager Governor Small has received the resignation of John Rlghelmer, chairman of the Illinois Athletic commission, and his successor probably will be named in a short time. Faal Prehm, Champaign, the only remaining member of the boxing commission originally named by Governor Small, will be acting chairman. Samuel Luzzo, Chicago, is the other member. Rijrheimer became chairman of the commission following the resignation of O. W. Huncke, who found the work too strenuous. The commission was created by an act of the general as-' sembly four years ago, which became a law without the signature of Governor Small. ,-vi-T £. • I, . i * &£\. t-ai f - &!*?'?• ' ' I s -- • ft WJrf</ » "*K- • W-- ' E«k ••7'."- v,The tomb of Abraham Lincoln is not in a desolate state of repair. To the contrary, it is in good repair and *^11 kept," was the reply given by Mayor J, Emil Smith of Springfield in reply to a query from Helen Reese Kellog. Highland Park, Mich., assistant adjutant general of the National Daughters of the Grand Army of the Republic, regarding the condition of the tomb of the immortal emancipator. Inquiries have been coming to 1111- •nols state officials and officers of the Capital city from many parts of the , country as to the condition of the tomb; these reports grew out of a statement, which appeared in an Iowa newsaper recently, that the tomb is badly In need of repair. Despite the fact that the writer of the article published a retraction,.word has spread among patriotic organizations that Lincoln's tomb is being neglected. Mayor Smith's letter continues In part: "Illinois is proud of the fact that she gave Lincoln to the country and the state makes ample provision for * the care of the tomb and the home In which he lived in Springfield. "This city deplores the fact that a story appeared some months ago in a newspaper to the effect that the tomb was not in good condition. There is no basis whatever for the story and the newspaper item was retracted by the newspaper that published it" \ * ---- filinois Is now on the verge of a golden era of progress as far as the Industrial situation Is concerned, Gov Lgn Small said at the Western So Hetv of Engineers' convention h) Cbj *oa^o fScentty. Governor Small s ad dress was made during a ceremonj of presentation of the new topograph leal map of the Chicago region, which was made co-operatively by the Unli ed States geological survey. The map. described by its designers as the last word in government surveying and mapping, represents in minute detail an area of approximately 1,100 square miles. It is printed in 20 sectitms and will be ready for general distribution In 1028. "Illinois soon will have and prob- 1 ably keep the center .of population and manufacturing in the United States," Governor Small said, "because of its £ne roads, transportation facilities *ad wealth of mineral products." With hydrophobia apparently spreading in the state and the alarm caused by fear of the disease creating even more damage than the infection itsel. Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings, state health director, hap issued a statement advising people not to kill dogs that are supposed to be mad unless it is absolutely necessary. Killing the animal destroys the most important source of definite Information about the certainty of rabies and shrouds the whole situation with doubt which not Infrequently results In unnecessary uneasiness and expense. "Capture the suspected animal and tie him securely for observation," Doctor Rawlings said. "If the animal is rabid, he will die within' ten days. If be has bitten any person, plenty of time to begin the Pasteur treatment remains aft er the ten day observation period The onset of hydrophobia begins in from one to six months after a susceptible person or animal has been bitten by the rabid animal." Extensive plans are under way for the annual convention of the Illinois 8tate Dairymen's association, af Marion^ January 17-19, according to Sffllman J. Stanard, vice president-of the organization. As director pf agrl- ClilH^e. gtanard |jas proyided cooperation on tn£ part oitne dairy husbandry division of his department in connection with the dairy cattle exposition held in connection with the assembly. High school agricultural classes plan to compete in judging dairy cattle that will be on exhibition at Marion during the convention. Local organizations are co-operating fully, the vice president reports. .' Rg-i" •f:", * president Harry Fisbwlck of the IIllnois Mine Workers' associatioa was one of the principal speakers at a "Bay Illinois Coal" rally held hi Herrin, Williamson county, recently. "There is a concerted movement downstate to boost purchase of coal mined in Illinois." Mr. Fishwick tok! the newspapers before making the trip. "In return the miners and others connected With the industry are advocating the policy of purchasing goods manufactured within the state.' According to Walter Nesbit, secretary of the state organization, there are more than 10,000 Illinois miners out of work. Supplies of coal from the nonunion fields of Kentucky, marketed in this state, have had much to do with keeping hundreds of Illinois miners idle. - , . C o u n t i e s w i l l h&ve to take care of "tfcelr own feeble-minded until crowded conditions at the two state institutions for the feeble-minded at Lincoln und Dixon are relieved, Attorney General Oscar E. Carlstrom bas ruled. A recent opinion handed down to Joe A. Pearce, state's attorney at Carmi, Is in part: "In reply I will say that If the prisoner Is insane and not feebleminded, then in view of the present overcrowded conditions of the two state institutions established for the reception of such persons, your county will have to make some provision for his care and custody until the state institutions are° in- a position to receive him." „_jrwenty-flve persons who passed a •lent of the state board of law examiners recently were given their diplomas by the State Supreme court several days ago. The class was one of the smallest In recent years. The class was presented to the court by Judge Wat9on, Mt. Vernon, chair man of the examining board. The oath was administered by Chief Justice Heard. Practically all yof the class members are from Chicago. Hard road boosters for the frwposed route from Jacksonville to Havana, and from Meredosia to Auburn, assembled at Jacksonville recently for a public hearing on the two roads. Delegations have visited the Capital city urging action and the hearing was arranged to hear discussion on the routes. Governor Small attended the meeting and delivered an address. Col. C. It. Miller, director of public works and buildings, and Frank T. Sheets, chief highway engineer, were in charge of the hearing. The meeting wa» Jteld in the high school auditorium. The Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific company, a Wisconsin corporation, which recently took over the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad, has been given a foreign charter. The capital In this state is three shares of no par value stock. In order to supplement the routine crop reporting services of the state department of agriculture and the federal bureau of agricultural economics and crop and live stock estimates, rural mail carriers of Illinois have rendered a service ln*dlstpibnting and collecting 25,000 live stock survey cards. r A bulletin, "Aim of Crop Reports," Is also being distributed to 30.000 Illinois farmers, urging them to oo operate in this work of providing market Information for the producers in order that they may enjoy more fully the advantages speculators have in accurate estimates received from private sources.

The petition which asked the gov- «rnor to pledge himself to the cause Of reapportionment by which Chicago would gain morei representatives and senators In the legislature has alBO keen presented. ^-^Construction of a 54,000-mlle nation• hard-surface post road system at 0 total cost of $5,000,000,000, was proposed recently in a bill by Represen tative Hoiaday of Illinois, a Republican, on the house roads committee. $he money would be raised by a gov- ^•wineni bond issue. Governor Small has accepted an in vitatlon to attend a hard road meeting at Carroliton, Wednesday, December 28, when the proposed route for the highway between Carlinville and Carroliton will be considered. The Invitation was extended the governor by a delegation from Carlinville and Carroliton. The callers were accompanied by Senator A. S. Cuthbertson, Bunker Hill, and Representatives Robert Whitely, Carlinville, and M. E. Bray, Litchfield Pleas for the construction of the road, which probably will be a part of the building program for next year, was mr.de by a large delegation which called on the governor some time ago. The road, known as Route No. 108, extends from Carlinville to Carroliton, thence to Kampsville. A delegation also urged early construction -on Route No. 8, between Princeton and Tlskllwa, Bureau county."

HREE words meaning more to more people than almost any other greeting or salutation or phrase. Three words fraught with significance). There are the happy people. Families where affection, cheer, Joy In one another, unselfishness toward one another, lpve and sympathetic understanding flourish. They know the full meaning of A MERRY CHRISTMAS. There are the almost-happy people. People who sometimes bicker and quarrel, make speeches only halfmeant which sound twice as harsh. Christmas comes and tliey rouse themselves. After all, there Is happiness for them. The wives with lovlBg slyness make little sacrifices and buy the husbands gifts they know wiU be acceptably The husbands rush at the last minute Into gaily decorated shops, purchasing those gifts they know will be acceptable. They have paid more attention of late. They h a v e n o t i c e d what was missi n g , w h a t w a s wanted. Arriving home a little late the very sound of their steps has a new crlspness, their voices Joviality and affec* tlon. They Jog them- Sp1vf <s up. They have A Merry Christmas. There are the poor families, buying what toys they pan for their children who have the same eyes as aU chilren. Eyes which see doll's carriages, trains of cars, dolls, mechanical toys, books. Eyes which look deeply into the windows of shops. Perhaps those more financially fortunate will lead them into shops and let them realize tome of their dreams. There are the charity children, children who receive dinners given by charitable organizations, being photographed so that those who are independent may feel undisturbed by all that they I possess. Children whose pictures reveal at times a little shame, a little shyness that they must be photographed when eating a regular meal. And yet they know the meaning of Christmas, too. This, for them, Is good luck. Perhaps It can 1M made better. A Merry Christmas. Three words--but synonymous with those three words are many others-- children, children's gay, excited, happy voices, parents with home - coming sons and daughters, gifts and generosity. Christmas trees, appeal Ingly empty stockings left by the trusting on Chrlstms Eve, cordiality, true humanity. A Merry, Christmas. '(fi. 1917, Wasters Mmptjiw UataSbt:. PERSONA!* Mr. and Mrs. D. G.
