;M Springfield,--Citizens of Illinois are flsked to help run down deserters and ftackers and report them to local Itoards or department of justice by the lltate council of defense. In a state­ ment on how the citizens , of a com- .Biunity can serve their country in that fatter, the Council says: "If you see i|l stranger In uniform in your com- fpunity find out who he is and all about Jim. If he is on a proper erraiid he frill be able to establish the fact. If - fee cannot account for himself fully ieport him as a possible deserter. If there Is an unknown man of draft age •:pk your community find out who he is **nd where he is registered. If he has card--registration, call or exemp- on--report him to the nearest agent f the department of Justice or the «aCOunty chairman of the state council f defense. Every one should remem- r that a registrant who has been Called but who, at the time set for his induction into service fails, to report, $ails to entrain for his mobilization tmp or stops off on the way to camp, & deserter and subject to punish- ffeient by court-martial. Any police- Biau has authority to arrest a deserter And take him before a local exemption oard, which will take the necessary rtlier steps. The government pays 1 actual expenses In all cases and If ie desertion is wilful, will pay a re­ paid, including expenses of $50 for llach man.

In a bulle­ tin reviewing | the candidates the league declares k number of vital prob­ lems will come up before the assembly this year and that capable men will be needed in their consideration. "In its Investigation of the qualifications of the 567 legislative candidates in the field the Legislative Voters' league has found, as in other years, that there are a large number of candidates who are totally unfit and many who would, if elected, reflect discredit upon the gen­ eral assembly," the bulletin says. "In the list of candidates are several who now are or have been under indict­ ment, others who have figured In the police courts, and scores who have no conception of the duties of a law­ maker. Unless reputable citizens gen­ erally turn out and vote intelligently at the primary they may witness the nomination of many candidates who are wholly undesirable. In that event there will be no recourse, as Independ­ ent legislative candidates are seldom selected." Springfield.--Blanks for the reglstra- ti°n of deaths in Illinois have been altered by the state department of public health. The change is said to be a big improvement Jto-er the old system. Question No. jra has been amended to Include information on small details pertaining to the exact cause of the deaths. It will be of ad­ ditional value to the state in keeping a correct death registration and en­ abling a scientific study of the cause of all ^eaths. The change followed a governmental suggestion. In addition the state department of public health is urging the establishment of primary courses in diapostic laboratory work in all high schools of the state. The young people should be instructed in this work, the department declares, In view of the Increasing • demand for such students made so by those al­ ready engaged In the work being called into war service. It advocates training In this line especially for girls. Springfield.--Much improvement has been noted in corn, meadows and pas- At-uororng- -xxr reached this office this week our article regarding sugar slackers, which ap­ peared in last week's issue, caused 'some of our sugar buyers some em­ barrassment at the Schneider Bros, market when they asked for sugar at that place and could not be served on account of the proprietors being out of same at the time. Some of those who were unfortunate enough to call at the store and ask for sugar during the days that the store was entirely out feel that those who were in the place at the time might have gone home with the impression that they were sugar slackers and The Plain- lealer gladly takes this opportunity o# explaining the situation. The real sugar slackers, we are informed by local, dealers, are very few in Mc­ Henry and vicinity .and the public may rest assured that in a case where thure is- cause for refusal to sell a customer sugar who has already had his allotment the retailer will make it so plain that there will not be any chance for anyone in hearing distance to misconstrue his reason for refus ing to sell the customer. We believ , that most of our people are 100 pe. cent Americans and that they will anything within reason to help wUs the war, and the conservation *y sugar is one of the things that wi eventually help bring this war to >r successful conclusion. ^ A Card I wish to sincerely thank all mj^ friends in every part of the county' who so loyally supported me in my campaign for the nomination of coun­ ty judge.

In his proclamation the governor urges residents of Illinois give atten­ tion to the need for care and of re­ fraining from exposure and unneces­ sary risks which may cpuse injury and death, to the cleaning up in and about premises, to have chimneys in­ spected and repaired as a precaution­ ary measure against fire, and that all places where a large number of per­ sons congregate be adequately exam­ ined and safeguarded tluit the livea.eff occupants may be protected. rmmfmm OF SKD mm DEPENDS LABGELY UPQH PACKING TO EXCLUDE AIR y . mW . \? 8AV1NG ALL OF CORN CROP BY $ILO METHOD. (Prepared by the United States Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) Oat corn for silage when the kernels have passed the milk stage and are be­ ginning to dent. At this period. the greatest amount of food material can be obtained and the best quality.of silage made. The cutter should be adjusted to cut the, corn in short lengths, with three- fourths of an inch as the maximum length. In general the finer the fod­ der Is cut the more easily and more compactly it can be packed and in consequence the better the quality of the silage. Thorough Packing Necessary. Too much stress cannot be laid upon the necessity of thoroughly . packing the fodder in the silo so as to exclude the air as much as possible. It is upon this one thing that the keeping of silage largely depends. A device ponlisting of a jointed pipe, or some variation of It, attached to the top | >f the blower pipe Is at present in lse for distributing the cut corn fod- ier in the silo. By the use of this distributor It is possible for one man o scatter the cut corn evenly and at he same time to tramp it. Without he use of this device It is necessary o have at least one extra man in-the *ilo to fork the material over so that t Is evenly packed. Besides the sav- ng of one man's labor, the distributor SILAGE FOR DAIRY ANIMALS does away with the nuisance of having the loose material flying around, thus annoying the man In the silo, and alsoi lessens the danger of being struck by some foreign object that may have passed through the blower. Add Water at Cutting Tlmo. Oftentimes the corn fodder Is so dry when it Is cut that It is necessary to add water to make up for the de­ ficiency in moisture and provide for the proper packing of the silo. This water Is most easily added to the blower when the corn is being cut, and it is also more thoroughly mixed with the cut material in this way. For the top layer of the silo It Is good practice to use heavy green stalks from which the ears have been re­ moved. This forms a heavy layer that packs well and at the same time con­ tains a smaller amount of food mate­ rial so that the minimum loss is sus­ tained if It spoils. Various methods and materials have been used for cov­ ering the top of the silage to prevent its spoiling. None has given complete satisfaction, but the one mentioned above has given as good results as any, especially, when the top layer was thoroughly wet down and packed firmly by tramping. The best prac­ tice is to commence feeding as soon as the silo Is filled, in which case there will be no loss of silage through decay. GUARD STOCK FROM POISONS Almost Ideal Substitute for Natural 8ummer Stock Feeds, Especifdly :i|.:i» Winter. h ' * (prepared "by the United EtflitM Depart­ ment of Agriculture.) The demands of the live stock fot the coming winter need to be antlcl- pitieu in many parts of the country. The silo. provides safe storage for for­ age that cannot be as effectively stored in hny other way. In addition, the material stored In the silo is a more acceptable feed, especially for dairy animals, than the same feed prepared in any other way. Silage Is an almost Ideal substitute for the natural sum­ mer stock feeds, and Is especially val­ uable In the fall and winter because of Its succulence and consequent health- fulness. Advantages of Chickens. Chickens are great destroyers of In­ sects, Including many injurious forms, In yard, pasture and orchard. They utilize, also, many grasses and weeds, and seeds, from the same, that would otherwise be of no use.

Many sheep and cattle are lost from eating poisonous plants and other ma­ terial. In many Instances a little fore­ sight on the part of the owner would have prevented losses. To cite one specific plant, most stockmen In the eastern part of -the country know that laurel Is poisonous, and yet they will pasture their animals In a woodland pasture in spite of the fact that laurel abounds. Sometimes a few, at other times many, animals are poisoned. Other poisonous plants abound In both the eastern pastures and the western grazing lands, many of which are definitely known and easily recog­ nized. A little precaution through fenc­ ing and selecting-pastures would ma­ terially reduce the deaths due to plant poisoning. Larkspur, lupine, water hemlock, darnel grass, wild cherry, loco, white snake root, wilted sorghum and oak brush (shlnnery oak) are tyie more common plants which exact a heavy toll. Inorganic poisoning of farm stock Is also far from being of rare occurrence. Common salt is definitely known to be very poisonous to hogs and chickens In comparatively small quantities. Soap powder In swill has been the cause of death of swine. Antiseptic tablets and rat poisons also have caused deaths among farm animals. Patent rat pastes, and even fireworks, have been eaten by fowls, which, died later frojp the effects of phosphorus poisoning, ANIMAL FOOD IS REQUIRED Growth-Producing Substances Found in Grains and Vegetables, but In Small Quantities.

Yet the com­ bination is not only possible but often­ times satisfying. What is called the new skirt was advanced last December in America by American designers, and It had been exploited here for house gowns six months before, so It is not new, recites a fashion correspondent. It might be calleu a purely American de­ sign, although the house that exploited it for the evening is under the strong­ est French influence. However, it was an independent action and uad noth­ ing to do with inspiration from Paris. The second American house that started the long skirt for the street acted in an independent manner. This skirt was not taken up, although it Was constantly worn by the woman Who designed It; H'e are rather slow lo catch on to a new fashion, but when we do like it we overdo it. Therefore It is likely that the long skirt will be­ come an accepted thing, in mass, be­ fore Thanksgiving. This prophecy may be a wrong. It Is no time to fore­ cast anything In any quarter of life. But the propaganda for the long skirt is sinking deeply Into the hearts of women and spreading itself far over the continent. Mind you, these skirts are not ac­ cording to the lines that we have worn. Sometimes they are straight, but often they are slightly draped upward at the back, and there. is a growing tendency to make a skirt, exceedingly narrow and sweeping the instep, and then a draped tunic, which Is a quick re­ minder of the pullback skirt of other days. So, you se6, the designers are kind to us after all. They provide a new skirt and a new silhouette, but they • do c t compel you to buy a new gown. She who has money and little leisure will purchase the new garment; she will find it possible to arrange the new, idea through the combination of an old frock draped Into a tunic and a new skirt narrowly cut at the hem. Conservative women are delighted. They abhor the short skirt, which, through our usual extravagance In overdoing things, has resolved itself into Scottish kilts. Facing the New Season. , August is a serene or stormy month, as you look at It You may determine to wear "whatever" clothes, faded and shabby, until the first frost demands a warm frock; but if you do this you lire not making the best of tilings. You Will find that all about you women are extraordinarily keen about their ap­ pearance today. Those who were sloppy have becoiae cafeful; those who were shabby have become smart; those who were unstylish have pulled themselves into the picture of the hour. Clothes have undergone the same transformation as everything else in America. Economy and conservation are the keynote of dressing, but only the very indifferent or the overbur­ dened and morbid woman is careless of her appearance. The word "morale" has become the foundation stone of this war, and women, who are keenly emotional, hold on to It as to a life rope. They must not be morbid and they must not be shabby. Optimism must shine from their faces and their clothes. This Is a part of their burden, and the mass of women have risen to It, as women can be depended upon to do in any national emergency. Capes Attract the Popular Fancy. There is small hope for a top coat these days. Its career was abruptly ended when capes became the fashion. NEW VELVET HATS FOR FALL Foreslghted women Indulged In the loose, picturesque cape two years ago and clung to the theory that It was the comfortable and suitable type of covering for a frock or a suit. The shops finally took up the theory and offered loose wraps at all prices, from $15 to $120. , There Is no diminution In the fash­ ion. The economical woman finds that a fresh new covering can hide a faded or dusty gown and give one a feeling of self-respect in public places. The new capes are suitable for coat suits as well as frocks, and their fabrics run the gamut. Satin, georgette crepe, all the heavy Chinese silks, striped and plain taffeta, broad­ cloth, velour and chiffon are chosen. Now the top coat has become a part of e costume, and It even permits a cape to be worn over it. It is rather fascinating as a redlngote.

The popular models, ac­ cording to the official bulletin of the Betall Millinery Association of Amer­ ica, are made of velvet combined with hatters' plush or panne velvet, and satin antique combined with hatters' plush, panne velvet, ordinary velvet or beaver cloth. In ilie tailored mod­ els, It says, velvet with beaver and hatters' plush Is used extensively. In the "dressier" models the other com­ binations noted are seen. The trimmings for tailored hats for the new season include wings, quills, burnt ostrich fancies, ribbon or vel­ vet bows, buckles of cut steel or bone, and both large and small rhinestone pins. For dress hats ostrich bandings, fancies, tips,-jet or beaded ornaments, paradise, etc., are used. The leading shades for fall are black, purple, navy, brown, taupe, and sand, though Blouses in Dark Colors. Blouses as seen In the shops offer an Interesting variety from the round collarless neck, slip-over lingerie or georgette, to the dignified semi-tailor­ ed model with high collar and rib­ bon tie. Georgette Is the favorite silk fabric for better blouses, while crepe de chine is of course a staple. Perhaps the most Important thing there Is to say about blouses for uu- tumn Is that there Is likely to be a strong vogue of costume colors, with navy blue in' the lead, followed by brown, taupe, burgundy and myrtle green. These, It Is expected, will take precedence over the light shades, which will be limited In number, the principal tints being white, flesh, maize, tpricot. orchid and silver. > Unusual cape in black and white satin. It hangs loosely over the figure and is pulled upward in folds, sarong fashion, and fastens at the waistline with a loose girdle. It is lined and piped with white satin, and the un­ usual cape is also of white satin. The deep cuffs are fastened with Jet links. tra soft satin it Is slipped over a se­ verely plain chemise frock of another color and forms a polonaise. These new topcoats follow the path blazed by the Jackets that belong ta suits, in that they do not fasten in front. In fact they do not pretend to even meet in front. They are broad enough to reach across tlie chest and waist, but the fashionable trick is to push the fronts back until they are almost under the arms, In order that broad expanse of the frock may show. If one uses a Jacket, long or short, as a redlngote the need for fastening will not present itself, for the cold weather will bring in the cape of cloth or fur, with its huge collar, and ene may wear any kind of costume be­ neath It. Herein lies .its value to the economist. (Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspa­ per Syndicate.) some hats are sera with light-colored' facings. The bulletin also says that many vel­ vet models for fall are being com­ bined with novelty braids. One of these braids is made of two or three strips of felt Joined together with silk floss stitching and Is used on flanges and side crowns. It is seen chiefly in light blue, sand, and rose. Another novelty is ratine braid, which looks like heavy cloth with a rough finish. It is used mostly on tailored or semi- sport podels. - The Use of Frlnast, Fringe Is much In evidence for trim­ mings and is very effective In some in­ stances. But one must admit that the flowing capes, bordered by long, sweep­ ing fringe, which have been much on view, this season, are far from artistic. Pink latest. Pink Muslin Nighties. muslin night dresses are the Interlined Silk Costs. * Some very good looking new fall conts have not a thread of wool In their outer fabric. They are made of heavy satin and are lifted with bright colored, soft satin of equally substan­ tial quality. Between the outer and inner satin surfaces is a warm inter­ lining, sometimes of flannel. som«> Must Tie Wl*h Bows. To be smart the new fichus must tie with bows. times of cotton battllig.

George Hackeniichmidt was a pretty strong man arid many are the tales told of his wondrous feats of strength. But the Russian lion was a weakling compared to a certain man who lived on the southern coast of Ireland. It is said of this particular Irish­ man that when he went fishing for whales he always used a three-inch hawser for a line and a 000-pound an­ chor for a hook. He'd bait his hook with a couple of sheep, or maybe a calf, whirl It around his head two or three times and send It sailing out Into the ocean.
