C.--New York coal prices covering the gtate of Illinois, were announced by Fuel Admlnlstra tor Garfield. The state has been re­ classified Into six coal districts. Fuel administration officials said it was im­ possible for them to give a compari- ! son of new prices and those fixed by the president last year, because there has been a general regrouping of coun­ ties and coal districts. In general, how­ ever, they said the change Is slight. Illinois is divided into six districts, the prices varying somewhat in each. Under run of mine the price ranges from $2 to $2.35, The price for pre­ pared sizes varies from $2.20 to $2.90, and slack or screenings range from $1.70 to $2.40, The prices given do not Include the additional 45 cents a ton which may be charged by opera­ tors complying with the Washington wage agreement: f Springfield.--A survey of Illinois food situation has <flselogfe3 the sup­ plies as a whole are overabundant. It was made by the state food adminis­ trator and shows no one is actually hnngry. There is a marked variation In supplies. Some of the commodities are plentiful, while others are scarce. The object of the survey was to regu­ late the distribution of foodstuffs, Harry A. Wheeler, state food adminis­ trator, says, so that the people will buy more of those articles not so much In demand and less of those that are. A* surplus of 100,000,000 bushels of po­ tatoes over last year's supply was fqirad, while a marked scarcity of white flour was noted. The sugar situ­ ation shows some signs of improve­ ment, the survey brings out, and dis­ closes the fact thflt there are no cold storage eggs in Chicago. Beans are plentiful; cornmeal is scarce; of rice there Is no shortage; rolled oats are short, and there are large stocks of cheese in storage houses. . Springfield.--The following orders were issued by the state public , utili­ ties commission: Suspension until Jtine 90, pending investigation into reasonableness, proposed rate increase for gas service in Peru and La Salle of the Citizens' Lighting company of Ottawa; suspended until July 20, pend­ ing investigation, proposed Increase in electric service rates of the Central Illinois Utilities company in Ford, Iro­ quois, Livingston and McLean coun­ ties; issued an order, effective 40 days after service order, establishing new rates for gas, electric, water and heat­ ing in Mount Vernon and vicinity of Citizen Gas, Electric and Heating cOmpauy. Champaign.--Hog cholera in Illinois must be stamped out. It is interfering with the meat production grf the coun­ try and consequently must go. These were the expressions heard here at a meeting of the stftte department of agriculture held at the University of Illinois. Charles If. Atkins, secretary of the department, was present as were A. T. Peters, state veterinarian^ and W. W. Wright, superintendent of ani­ mal industry. The university school of agriculture participated in the confer­ ence. A number of plans for an inten­ sive war on hog cholera were suggest­ ed and it is thought one of than will be adopted. Camp Grant, Rockford.--MaJ. (Jen. Thomas H. Barry bade farewell to Camp Grant. He went to Chicago to take command of the central division in accordance with a war department order. The commander was among a number of major and brigadier gen­ erals who, on account of physical de­ fects, were pronounced unfit for ser­ vice in France. General Barry suc­ ceeds Maj. Gen. William H. Carter, who has been assigned to a post in North Carolina. Springfield.--What we need is food, not flowers. Remember this In plant­ ing your garden this summer. Such is the advice being sent out to people of Illinois by Harry A. Wheeler, state food administrator.

' . 1\\* r-' Washington, D. C.--In a new fuel zoning system operative April 1, lilt nols will be cut off entirely for another year from supplies of Eastern bitumi­ nous coal and will be required to rely exclusively on the mines of Illinois, Indian and western Kentucky for fuel supply. This applies to so-called smokeless bituminous and not to an­ thracite. At the same time Illinois coal operators will be required to op­ erate in a field definitely outlined, which includes the state of Illinois and parts of Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, South Dakota, Iowa, Mis­ souri, Arkansas, Louisiana, Tennes­ see and Kentucky. Trade connections built up in other states by Illinois coal operators will be wiped out. The zon­ ing system will govern the distribution of coal during the campaign to be in­ augurated April 1 in an effort to in­ duce all coal consumers to lay in their next winter supply before September 30. Early buying of coal Is urged as an imperative necessity by both the fuel administrator and the director genera! of railroads. Chicago.--Prices to be paid milk ly, producers in the Chicago district for March, April, May and June were ̂ es­ tablished by an amicable agreement reached at a conference in the food ad­ ministration office here. These are the prices per 100 pounds of milk contain* ing 3:5 per cent of butter fat: March, $2.90; April, $2.65; May, $2.05; June, $1.80. The average for the four months is $2.35, approximately the same the average of the prices for the same period recommended by the milk commission. The figures, how­ ever, were reached by slightly differ* ent methods than those used by the commission. The new prices elimi­ nate the March allowance of 21 cents that the producers asked in order to recoup themselves for losses In De­ cember and February. They waived that when they were given a price of $2.65 for April, which Is an advance above the price proposed by the com­ mission. The new prices allow for the increase in feed cost. Christopher.--Three men, charged wfth disloyalty, were tarred and feath­ ered here, made to kiss the flag, and then driven from the town site. Mean­ while a delegation of citizens seized W. R. Jones, an attorney of Benton, who had defended one of the three disloyal men. He was compelled to swear allegiance to the government and kiss the flag. He was then told to leave the city. The committee called at the home of Rev. John Kovalsky, pastor of the Catholic church at Chris­ topher, who has been accused of mak­ ing disloyal remarks. He, too, was taken to the public square, stripped to the waist, and a coat of tar and feathers applied. He did .not leave the city. ' Springfield.--From fifty to one hun­ dred working boys who are not In the schools are volunteering dally in the campaign of the nation to raise an army of 1,000,000 for increasing farm production this summer. This an­ nouncement comes from the headquar­ ters of the United States bftys' work- ing reserve in Illinois which must as­ semble a quota of 41,000 boys between the ages of sixteen and twenty-one this week. Herbert C. Hoover, fed­ eral food administrator, sent a mes­ sage to the boys of Illinois urging them to match themselves against the boys of Germany, every one of whom Is working, and many of whom are in the trenches under fire. Chicago.--Manufacturers with plants capable of being used for war work met In the state council of defense building and formed an organization which Is to map out a definite plan of action. An executive committee was appointed, wMcb Is to map out a defi­ nite plan of action. An executive com* mittee was appointed, which will work along the following lines: To put the state's manufacturing resources and facilities of every kind In better shape to serve the war needs of the government, and to help the manufac­ turers of the state, by co-operation, se­ cure a larger share of the government's war orders than they have been get­ ting. Chicago.--In a decision of sweeping Importance for Chicago and other com­ munities of the state, the Illinois su­ preme court upheld the constitution­ ality of the act creating the state pub­ lic utilities commission and decreed further that that body may require the surface lines in Chicago to attach trail­ ers to street cars. The decision denies Chicago's stoutly urged plea for home rule, holding that the utilities commis­ sion is a body with power superior to that exercised by the city council, and may be indicative of the attitude of the court if the commission holds that the city council has no right to regu­ late gas rates. ' U. S. Naval Training Station, Great Lakes.--The Great Lakes "mosquito fleet" is making ready for the season's work with the opening of navigation, April 1. The fleet numbers more than one hundred gasoline driven cruisers, requisitioned by the government from private owners, ranging in size from 60 to 125 feet and armed with ma­ chine guns. The craft have been win­ tering at the Soo, Duluth, Detroit, Erie and Chicago, where they are now being overhauled and refitted. Springfield.--The charitable and penal Institutions of Illinois made pub­ lic an appeal for employees. Mora than ten per cent of the male em­ ployees have gone to the front, while the usual source of supply have been drawn upon by the government for war purposes. In the medical forces vacancies have been filled from the general practitioners in private prac­ tice and the situation in this regard is easier. The most desperate crisis ex­ ists in getting men to serve as guards in the prisons and as attendants in the state hospitals. Women attend­ ants are not so scarce.

BOG IS CAUSE OF LONG LITIGATION Pup BttCtticacjc ing His Name in Court Records* RUNS ALONG 8 YEARS Canina Has Long Since Passed Awiy, tout His History Is Written Perma­ nently and Expensively In Court Annals* T Chicago.--Eight years ago a name­ less dog bit Willie Herzog. The dog has long since gone to the place where biting dogs go, but his history as well as that of Willie Is written permanent- voluminously and expensively in the Cook county court records. The final entry was made recently by Judge Tuthill at a special holiday session in the Circuit court To begin at the beginning immedi­ ately after Willie had been attacked by the dog Charles Albrecht v?as charged with being the owner of the animal and was sued for damages in the municipal court. Despite his de­ nial of ownership Mr. Albrecht, after a trial of three days, was assessed $75 damages and costs of $23.50. Mr. Albrecht paid the bill near the date of the first anniversary of the dog bite. Makes Perjury Charge. Mr. Albrecht began to check np the 100 pages of testimony in the case and declared that Mrs. Mary Herzog, moth­ er of Willie, had committed perjury because she had sworn that Willie was at home for a period after the accident and Mr. Albrecht's inquiry indicated he was in school all the time. Mr. Alhrecht visited the state's at­ torney. After some consideration a high salaried assistant decided there was ground for a perjury prosecution and sent the case to the municipal court A highly paid jndge, an assistant prosecutor and a clerk turned their at­ tention to the matter and after due time a warrant was issued for Mrs. Herzog. She was arrested, a hearing was had and Mrs. Herzog was dis­ charged. Round Three Begins. Mrs. Herzog then started round three by beginning suit against Mr. Albrecht, charging malicious prosecu­ tion. There were more judges seen, more papers served and more motions heard. There were delays and con­ tinuances until one day recently when the case went to trial. A jury was sworn and numerous witnesses heard. After four days, the taking of evi­ dence was completed.
