Statistics which were made public recently by the United States Department of Commerce show that Rockford has grown from 65,651 in 1920 to 80,900. Estimates of all Illinois cities within a population of 30,000 or more are shown in the statistics. The increase since 1920 is based in most cases upon the assumption that the increase in the seven-year span has been at the same ratio as the increase between 1919-1920. The estimate for Chicago exclusive of outlying towns is 3,102,800, an increase of 401,095. Quincy showed the smallest gain since 1920, with a total increase of 369.

Federal appropriation of lover a period of four years beginning in 1828 The fact that fewer hogs will be marketed in Chicago during the winter of 1928-1929 ought to give the farmers a good tip regarding the numoer of pigs they should get ready to raise next year, says P. E. Johnson of the farm organization and management department, college of agriculture, University of Illinois. This indication comes from the. corn-hog ratio, which has been about 10 per cent below normal since June, Mr. Johnson explained. Studies made by the department show that a decrease o* as much as 10 per cent below the average in the corn-hog ratio means that the number of hogs to be marketed the following year will average 8.8 per cent I§SS than in the previous y e a * . *• > r . k l ' i ' for tbe Iff construction of the channel was urged committee ©ftbe AutonoMe license tagi lit 1928 made their appearance in the capital only a few days ago--white letters on a field of maroon.

"Americans," says a critical visitor from abroad, "have a penchant for giving themselves high-sounding business titles." There used to be a local street sweeper who called himself a man-about-town.--Terre Haute Trlb (©by Dodd, IfMtd a Company.) Richard III RICHARD III--hero and scoundrel; genius and degenerate, grekt king and greater criminal -- stands out through all time us the "heavy villain" of medieval England's history drama: And that same drama was one of the bloodiest and most turbulent ever enacted. During the four centuries since the Norman Duke William had conquered England many changes had come to the Island kingdom. Most Important of these was the substitution of English for French as a court and national language. The Normans had tried to make England a Frenchspeaking nation.- The stubborn Saxons had refused to give up their cruder native tongue. Little by little, thanks to this resistance, the earlier English, modified by certain French words and lingual forms, became accepted tongue the country. This was pr*>ctjtt same as the English w* speak todaj. The Slack prince's son, Richard tU was deposed by his cousin, Henry of Lancaster (son of the Black prince's younger brother), who took the throne as Henry IY. Tbe usurper's son, Henry Y, conquered nearly all of France and died while still a young man. His Infant son, Henry VI, was called king of France as well as of England. But while he was still a youth Joan of Arc roused France to cast off the British yoke. Then, having no longer a foreign foe on whom to vent their aggressive, warlike tempers, the English turned against each other In a series of civil wars. The cause of these conflicts was as follows: Henry VI was weak and semi-imbecile. The powerful duke of York claimed descent from a brother of the Black prince older than the brother from whom Henry was descended. He therefore declared himself rightful heir to the throne, and went to war to make good his title. His followers- adopted the white rose as their badge, while the Lancastrians (Henry's adherents) wore red roses. The contest thus became known as "The Wars of the Roses." It began in 1455 and endured off and on for thirty years. The duke of York was killed at the Battle of Wakefield, 1460, but his three sons, Edward, George and Richard, kept uf> the strife. Success fell first to one faction and then to the other; and intervals of peace recurred ; but in the main the nation had little breathing space. At length, at the battles of Barnet and of Tewkesbury, 1465 (where on both occasions Richard led the Yorkist's vanguard to victory), Edward wholly routed the Lancastrians and was undisputed king of England, With the tjtle of Edward IV. His brother Oeorge, who had once turned traitor but had come back to the Yorkist cause, was duke of Clarence, and Richard, the youngest brother, was duke of Gloucester. To make Edward's throne more secure, Henry VI and the latter's son, Edward, prince of Wales, were murdered. The crime Is generally laid at Richard's door, as Is the subsequent murder of George, duke of Clarence. Edward IV died In 1483, leaving his two little sons under Richard's guardianship and.appointing Richard "Lord Protector of the Kingdom" during the elder son's minority. Richard thus found himself with only two lives between him and thecrown of England. He laid his plans with a demoniac ingenuity and set out at once to fulfill them. His first step was to execute on various pretexts such noblemen as were adherents of Edward's two boys. Then, by lobbying, threats and false claims, he caused an irregular election to be held and had parliament proclaim him king. The two kittle princes, Edward's sons, were put out of t lie way, presumably by Richard's hired assassins, and the "Lord Protector," having waded to the throne through his k!nfolk's blood, began his reign as King Richard III. To the surprise of all, he governed the country Justly and wisely. But the beaten Lancastrians were growing restive. Their party's only remaining claimant to the crown was Henry Tudor, earl of Richmond. Oddly enough, he also had a strong trace of the ancient IJritlsh blood, thus uniting in hiiuself the Norman and English strains. He had been banished, but in 1485 he returned to England and drew to him a powerful faction. Richard, at the head of a large "krmy, marched in person against him. The two forces met at Bosworth on August 22, 1485. After a hotly contested battle, in which the king performed prodigies of valor, Richmond wotf a decisive victory. Richard was slain on the field. Richmond came to the throne as Henry VII, and strengthened his cause by marrying Princess Elizabeth of York, thus uniting the rival houses of York and Lancaster. Richard m Is described by Shakespeare and other Sixteenth century writers as a dwarf hunchback. This idea is absurd. No man so handicapped could have performed the personal feats of strength and valor that were ascribed to him. His character presents one of the strangest paradoxes of history. He was conscienceless, devoid of scruple or honor, ferocious, cruel and bloodthirsty even for those iron times. Yet he was a wise and just king, a general second to none, a hero in battle, and of paf^ velous mental attainments. , Dairymen's Protest Meeting A call, for a massmeeting of dairymen is made for January 11 at the Hotel Sherman, Chicago, at 10:30, for the purpose of protesting against the price of $2.50 per (iOO pounds as posted by the dealers for the three months of January, February and March.
