I>uquoin.--Thi- visit of the Great takes N" val band and drill squad to Duquoim was the occasion for unex­ pected excitement as the result of a .controversy between Julius Nolan of Chicago, in charge of the party, and 'C. O. Reagin, proprietor of the St. Nicholas hotel. Without a word of preliminary warning, Nolan, address­ ing nearly 2,000 people in the Majes­ tic theater, startled his audience by the statement that the sailors had been discriminated against at the hotel. He stated that the jackies had been forced to await their dinner until aft­ er civilian guests had been served aud had been subjected to other embar­ rassments. Chicago.--"Universal military train­ ing and a definite financial policy would hasten the end of the war as nothing else can. The hope of the central empires today is that we may become war-weary while they are still flighting on foreign soil. Nothing would so shatter that hope as our adoption of these two policies--aud . their adoption now." The foregoing was the declaration of Gov. Frank. O. Lowden, in an address here, after he had welcomed delegates here, after he the country--men and women active in the large affairs of the nation--to the congress of national service.

Chicago.---The food administration Jfas declared war on profiteering in canned goods and potatoes. Harry A. Wheeler, Illinois food administrator, announced that hereafter all canneries must make contracts to deliver their canned poods at a tentative price in­ stead of a fixed and unchangeable price, as was formerly the custom. Marshall,--Judge William B. Scho- field, son of former Chief Justice Seho- fleld of the Indiana supreme court, and six years presiding judge ot the Fifth Illinois judicial district, died at his home here, following a long ill­ ness.

Wheeicr, tllfftois food administrator, declared that a flour famine In this state had reached an acute stage with no prospect of Im­ mediate relief. "I could name 50 towns in Illinois that have po flour," he said. "The wheat is in the hands of the farmers and as long as congress jug­ gles with proposed Increases in the* price of wheat so long will the farm­ ers continue to hold their wheat." Mr. Wheeler also said that complaints have been received from many bakers that they are facing a shutdown and are only running on a day-to-day supply of flour. Mr. Wheeler announced his in­ tention to seize for distribution all flour held in warehouses In excess of the 30-days' supply allowed under the food law. Several hundred barrels of flour were found in warehouses. Bloomington.--The Illinois State Farmers* institute closed after adopt­ ing resolutions indorsing the proposi­ tion to issue $60,000,000 bonds for the construction of good roads, declaring the attitude of the federal food admin­ istration tends to shake the confidence of the farmers in its good faith, and criticizing the commission fixing the price of milk in the great dairy dis­ tricts of Illinois. The resolutions fur­ ther declared meatless days have so reduced the demand for prime beef that feeders have been forced to take heavy losses, and that some district exemption boards are placing the ma­ jority of single farmers of draft age in class 1, thus making more acute the shortage of farm labor. Gary,--Production of steel and other war munitions in t!\e Gary district faces curtailment as the result of the walkout of 325 switchmen, trainmen* and conductors employed by the Elgin, Joliet and Eastern railway of the Steel corporation, who are protesting against the reinstatement of switch­ men who refused to have a hand in the September wage walkout. Federal Intervention Is expected. The men walked out as employees, and not as members of the brotherhoods. Road trains continue to run, as do some of the switch engines In the plants. Switchmen who were reinstated are members of the brotherhood. Chicago.--Possibility that an epi­ demic siich as that existing In Peoria may be in Its ihclpiency in Chicago, caused Health Commissioner Robert­ son to send physicians and inspectors to the vicinity of West Seventy-first street and Stewart avenue to investi­ gate. Mrs. Mary Doncyson reported both she and her son were suffering with what seemed to be a form of poi­ soning. She said members of six or seven families in the neighborhood showed the same symptoms. The health commissioner ordered his In­ spectors to bring in samples of the water and groceries of the neighbor- hood for chemical analysis. Chicago.--The central registration bill, which was to* have saved Chicago hundreds of thousands of dollars an­ nually in the operation of Its election machinery, was declared Invalid In a decision handed down by the state su­ preme court at Spripgfleld. The de­ cision returns Chicago to Its old prao tlce of having registrations In pre­ cincts In the wards at intervals pre­ ceding primaries and elections, and wipes out the central registration bu­ reau in the election commissioners' of­ fice. In this bureau It was possible to register any day of the year. ,, Camp Grant, Rockford.--Every man In Camp Grant, officers and enlisted soldiers, will be numbered by March 1, following a recent order of the war department, which, because of the sinking of the Tuscania and inability to Identify quickly bodies of the vic­ tims, instituted a system which will give every soldier in the American forces a different number. A card In­ dex at Washington will supply a key to the tags which will be worn by men in the service. Morrison.--Charles Flatten, superin­ tendent of the Summit Stove works; Is dead and Jonn Kahler Is seriously ill as the result of drinking "bug juice," ordered for whisky by Kahler. When Kahler wanted a consignment of liquor sent to him from Fulton he didn't like to use the word "whisky" In telephoning to a friend in Fulton, so he asked for bug juice. The friend took the order literally and sent a bot­ tle of nicotine, used by florists In kill­ ing bugs. Springfield.--Mrs. John H. Hanley of Monmouth will probably be elected state regent of the Daughters of the American Revolution at the annual conference held In this city March 255, 26 and 27.

Chicago.--The special federal com­ mission appointed some time ago by Food Administrator Wheeler, submit­ ted a supplemental report in which a majority of the members stand pat ^n the fixing of an average price of about $2.45 per 100 pounds to the farmer for milk during the five-months' period ending June 30. Pana.--There were more than fifty of the leading dentists of central Illi­ nois present when the thirteenth an­ nual convention of the Central Illinois Dental society was held here. Peoria.--Twenty-five hundred per­ sons were ill here of a mysterious ail­ ment of the digestive tract, believed by some to be due to contamination of the water supply, according to an offi­ cial estimate by Dr. George Parker, city health commissioner. A state analyst was summoned from Spring1- field to analyze the water supply: The lives of Infants and aged persons wera endangered.

C.--The planting of •n increased acreage to spring wheat and the production of an Increased sup­ ply 'Of other food products and of live stock, especially hogs, is recommend­ ed in a supplementary food .production program issued by the United States department of agriculture. This program re-emphasizes and am­ plifies the food-production program for 1918 issued by the department In August, 1917, and other suggestions made in the fall and the first of this year regarding Increased pork produc­ tion and increased production of food­ stuffs in the South. Taken In connec­ tion with the recommendations previ­ ously made, it suggests in full the pro- posals which the department thinks it desirable to offer with a view to se­ cure enough meat and dairy prod­ ucts, cereals, sugar and other staple and perishable foods, wool and cotton for the nation, its armies, and the al­ lies. It gives suggestions for the ap­ proaching spring operations, based upon the latest available information as to the condition of the fall-planted crops of winter wheat and rye and as to the number of meat and dairy ani­ mals reported for 1917. They repre­ sent the best thought of the special­ ists of the department who have had the benefit of advice from agricultu­ ral leaders throughout the country. Our Best Efforts Required. "Notwithstanding an increased pro­ duction of staple crops In the United States In 1917, there Is need for more food," the program states. "Taking Into account our own needs, the needs of the nations associated with us in this war, and the needs of friendly neutral nations, our best efforts will be required to provide enough food In 1918. Whether the war continues or not, the demands on this country, be­ cause of the Increasing population and the needs of Europe will be great. An especially strong demand will be made on this country for meats and live stock. In 1917, notwithstanding the many difficulties encountered, the fanners planted the largest acreages In the history of the nation, harvested record crops of most things except wheat, and succeeded In greatly In­ creasing the number of live stock." •"The situation is such that chief em­ phasis should be given to the produc­ tion of the great staple food products, with special stress on wheat and hogs, the leading war foods." The South Is urged to provide food for Its own people and feed for Its live stock and then to plant as much cotton as can well be cultivated and harvest­ ed. To raisers of hogs and beef ani­ mals the world need for meats and fats is made clear. Farmers are urged to join with the men on the ranges In providing sheep whose wool Is needed to equip soldiers. The program discusses the farm la­ bor problem, points out the lines of ef­ fort for relief, and outlines the activi­ ties of the federal and state agencies to furnish assistance. Spring Wheat. In dealing with the question of spring wheat, the program states: The acreage of spring wheat should be increased in order to make certain that we shall have an adequate supply of wheat for our own uses and to meet the needs of the allies. "While the area of winter wheat sown in 1917 was the largest on record, the condition of the crop, as reported on December 1, was the lowest ever recorded, Indicating a probable produc­ tion of only 540,000,000 bushels. Whether the actual production will be greater or less than the estimate will depend upon conditions prevailing be­ tween now and the time of harvest. If there were planted to spring wheat in the United States this year an acreage equal to the sum of the record planting in each spring wheat state within the last ten years, there would be sown ap­ proximately 23,300,000 acres. If there should be planted an acreage equal to the sum of the record planting for each state within the last five years there would be sown approximately 21,000,- 000 acres. The record planting for any year was 20,381.000, in 1911. The acre­ age for 1917 was 18,511,000. "The department of agriculture has carefully studied all these records and other data in connection with the pres­ ent war conditions and needs, and be­ lieves that it will be possible this year to -secure an acreage In excess of the record acreage which was planted In 1911. It is believed that Increased Reached His Capacity. The first floor of the home was reached at the rear by climbing a flight of stairs. One evening the family came from town with a good many parcels, which the father, mother and son, Eu­ gene, proceeded to carry into the house, Eugene going up the steps first.

It Is hoped that many farmers, espe­ cially in the northern part of the corn belt, will find it possible to plant five to ten acres additional in wheat. In some cases they win plant more. In a number of states in the eastern and central portions of the country where Spring wheat has not been grown in recent years, the crop is now being re­ established and it is recommended that this movement, be encouraged. . To a small extent the acreage in oats; if necessary, could be reduced in the interest of Wheat. Likewise, a very small portion of the acreage .which normally would be planted to corn in the northern part of the corn belt might be sown to spring wheat. If the acreage of spring wheat indi­ cated for some of the states cannot be planted, the barley acreage, which is known to grow better in some locali­ ties, might be increased. The use of barley for food is Increasing In this country and it is a welcome food in Europe. : -• Summary pf Other Recommendations; Following is a summary of other im­ portant recommendations regarding cereals, meat, poultry. a:nd perishables. Hogs. The number of hogs should be Increased by at least 15 per cent during the year 1918. Sugar. Effort should be made to maintain the acreage of sugar cane and sugar beets, and to Increase these areas in so far as these crops are well established or are necessary to sound agricultural practice. Production of satisfactory substi­ tutes for sugar. Including sorghum, corn and cane sirup, maple products and honey can and should be In­ creased. Dairy Products. The supply of dairy products should be maintained to meet the needs of this country and to help supply the increasing demands of the allies. Poultry. Poultry production should be increased greatly, especially in back yards and on farms where waste mate­ rial is available and the purchase of expensive grains and other material is not required. Corn. An acreage of corn approxi­ mately equal to that of 1917 should be planted, with possible slight reductions in certain sections to free areas for spring wheat. Oats, Barley, Rice, Buckwheat and Flaxseed. The area in oats should be maintained, especially In regions and on soils which are not so well adapted to other grains, but with a small reduc­ tion to provide for Increasing the wheat acreage. Barley production should be Increased In regions where It grows best, especially in the north­ ern edge of the corn belt and In sec­ tions north and west of the belt; and rice, buckwheat and flaxseed produc­ tion should be maintained and, if pos­ sible, increased. Potatoes. The normal acreage of Irish and sweet potatoes should be maintained in 1918, notwithstanding the large crops In 1917. Hay, Forage and Pastures. Wher­ ever feasible, the area devoted to hay, forage and silage crops should be in­ creased and these products should be used to a greater extent In place of grains and other concentrates. Beef Animals. The number of beef animals should be maintained and, in areas where it is clearly the best range and farm practice, should be increased. Beans, Peas and Peanuts. The pro­ duction of beans and peas should be increased in regions to which they are adapted, because of their high food value, keeping qualities, and availabil­ ity for domestic or export trade. Soy beans and peanuts should be Increased in order to supplement beans and peas as human food, as a source of much needed oil, and as animal feeds. Perishables, (a) Market gardens near large consuming centers should be increased so as to meet, as nearly as possible, the needs of the communi­ ty, and in order to obviate the neces­ sity of transporting such products from distant points. It is Important to do all that Is pos­ sible to relieve the strain upon trans­ portation facilities. (b) The planting of home gardens, especially for family needs and for preserving food for future use, again should be emphasized, (c) The commercial production of perishables generally Should be In­ creased above normal wherever It Is reasonably clear that transportation and marketing facilities will be avail­ able.

Never let yourself think that anything you have done has been.in vain. Effort and achievement are inseparable. -- Ex­ change. Measure Smoke.

Hancox jumpeii from his Ice cake and seized it. Then Ryan, who had notified the fire department and police, tied a rope to the railing of the bridge and let himself down hand over hand until he was treading water. He hauled Hancox to him and held him by the neck until the fireboat came and took him aboard. A police ambulance met the fireboat and Hancox was rushed to St. Luke's hospital for treatment, his hands hav­ ing been frozen. Otherwise he was uninjured, it was stated. He declined to talk.

Although the silver dollar Is almost daily Increasing In intrinsic value, the policy of holding it in the vaults and permitting it to be represented in cir­ culation by a paper silver certificate Is to be continued. Throughout the greater part of the United States the silver dollar is almost a curiosity. Not so in the Missouri valley, however, where one is likely at any time to be handed three or four in the breaking of a $5 bill.
