The council is to Cbnsist of 15 biembers, appointed for two-year terms by the state executive, who shall also name (lie chairman. •••<.. They shall be appointed with special reference to their knowledge of labor, industries, public utilities, the development of natural resources, sanitation, public health, medicine and surgery, finance, transportation and rehabilitation and re-employment of returned men. The bill makes it the duty of the council to: ' « Co-operate with any agency of the state government, the cities or villages, in establishing any public work likely to furnish employment; assist returning soldiers to fliul employment and relief; receive gifts of donations of either money or property; co-operate with any agency, either public or private, to obtain sustenance and proper clothing, care and housing for the men; carry out with the sta^e any plans formulated by the government as are mutually agreed upon; recommend to the governor and general assembly' the enactment of such la\%s as are. In its judgment, necessary. In addition, the bill gives the council power to form advisory, committees outside of its members here, experts, clerks and stenographers, and to fix their compensation, subpoena witnesses, and compel the production of account books and papers relevant to any investigation or matter which may be under consideration. Members shall serve without compensation and the actual expenses of members are made a legitimate charge against any appropriation made for the council. Any persons refusing to answer a subpoena or failing to appear as a witness is punishable as in contempt of court. The council Is to exist for two years, after the act becomes operative. Punishment of not more than ten years in prison or a fine not td exceed $6,000 for any person found guilty of criminal syndicalism, which Is designated as a felony, is proposed in a bill Introduced In the Illinois house of representatives by Frank Ryan of Chicago. Criminal syndicalism is defined In the bill as "the doctrine of sabotage, violence or unlawful methods of terrorism as a means of accomplishing Industrial or political reform." Attacking what he called the "dilatory tactics" of the state administration fn constmction projects. Minorit}' Leader Igoe in a resolution introduced in the house asked that a house committee be appointed "to determine if an unlawful combination Exists among dealers in cement and building materials," or if some other reason exists which causes unexpected delay in the construction of public improvements In the state of Illinois. Debate on. the state construction program was started when Senator Dunlap's Joint resolution, passed by the upper branch, asking that the federal government reduce freight rates on road-building materials, came up for house action. Representative Shurtleff spoke for the resolution and Representative Igoe against it. The house suspended the rules and adopted the Dunlap resolution. s Encouragemejijt fttt Farm Tenants. Senator Pervter of Sheffield Is I14VIngflrafted a measure he expects to.introduce in the geneftil assembly to encourage Jttproternents on tenant farms, ia accordance with the idea advocated by Gov. F rank O. Lowden in his recent biennial message. Statistics show thtft a vast majority of fflrm leases to tenants are from year to year, and. that 60 per cent of all the farms in Blinds are occupied by tenants. These tenants refuse to grow clovers and other legumes, or otherwise fertilize the soil, on the theory that they io not know at what moment they must leave. Senator Pervier's bill will give the tenant the right to plant clover, alfalfa or other legumes, or apply fertilizer without the consent of the owner or his agent. It provides thfct if the tei. ant sews these legumes and leaves for any cause before he has received the benefit, the owner is compelled to reimburse him. It also authorizes him to apply ground limestone and phosphates without consent of owner or agent, and If he leaves for any cause before receiving beneft, the owner must reimburse him. There is a provision In, the hill which forbids insertion of a clause In the lease requiring the tenant to buy seed at his own expense, and neither the tenant nor the owner or his agent are allowed to enter into any contract that will annul the provisions of this act. "Some owners forbid tenants sowing any clover or other legumes becnu*«o they want corn and oats--an income-- all the time." said Senator Pervier. "This followed to its inevitable can el usion will cause the soil of Illimus to run out* . T - A IfflO OF WEALTH Canada Has Possibilities. Mcasurefcfteported Favoribly.' The senate Judiciary committee also reported out favorably the following bills: McNay's changing the name of county poor houses and alms houses to county farms; Canftday's, increasing the tax for mothers' pensions to three-tenths of a mill: Dailey's, allow' ing stockholders of housing corpora tions to live in adjacent counties in stead of one as at present. The house civil service committee reported with recommendation they pass Castle's three bills amending the cities, parks and state civil service acts, giving soldiers and sailors preference in appointments. Representative Hick's bill allowing the tax rate In school districts for educational purposes to be increased to 3 per cent on a- referendum vote was reported on favor ably by the house educational committee. Both houses adjourned until Tuesday. . 1. • % ' Glorious Opportunities for the Stock Raiser, the Wheat Grower, and the * Mixed Farmed--Its Field* tft I' Feed the World. Before there were any cattle in Alberta, or it was known that it was possible to feed them oatside all the year round, the Indian hunters could always And the buffalo during the winter months pasturing in the foothills. In the summer the herds Wandered on the plains and fed on the prairie grasses. The plains have since become grain fields, but the foothill district extending north from the International boundary tor a thousand miles will always be a natural feeding trround for live stock. In the southern part of Alberta the altitude is greater than in the more northerly districts, but while the herds in the south have winder tracts of treeless pasturage, in the north from Red Deer on Into the Peace river country there are more trees, a richer vegetation ai»d more natural shelter. ; Those who have been advocating stock raisihg and mixed farming for tiie past, few years point to the number of hogs marketed as an evidence of the increased production of the Western Provinces. They may also take credit for the increase in cattle and sheep, which is very great, but perhaps not so marked as what has been accomplished in hog raising. For the first six months alone last year about half a million hogs were shipped from Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta. A very conservative estimate value of these animals to the farmer would be $25.00 a head. The Canadian West is fast forging; to the front of the wheat-producing countries of the world, and "No. 1 hard" Is without doifbt the best wheat in the market today. When It is considered that the three hundred and forty-three million four hundred and seventy-three thousand bushel crop of 1915 was from only eleven million acres of her hundreds of millions of acres. It gives an idea of what her future will be. It Is felt, however, that o^, accotmt of the great money there will undoubtedly be In growing wheat during the next few years there is a posslhii State Highway Engineers Meet. State highway engineers held a three-day school of instruction Here on road problems affecting county superintendents of highways. Legal, administrative and technical questions were dealt with.

Wlllard day. Urges Agricultural" Commission. The formation of aji agricultural commission of representative citizens for the purpose of-forwarding--soundnational policies In agriculture, was recommended by Dean Eugene Davenport of the college, of agriculture, Jniversity of Illinois, In an address delivered before the meeting of the Association of American Agricultural Colleges and Experiment Stations, held' in Baltimore, Md., recently. Dean Davenport Is president of the association and his recommendation was indorsed by the convention. State Fair August 15-23. . Charles Adkins, dircctof^ttie «t*te department of agriculture, has announced the 1919 Illinois state fair will be held August 15-23, Inclusive, and that the largest premium list ever offered was being prepared. The sum to be spent on awards, he declares, will amount to $115,000. whereas in pastyears the total has not exceeded $100.- 000. On January 1, last, the administration of the state fair passed from the old board of agriculture to the new department of agriculture .created by the administrative code. Bill to Protest Peace-time protection for pocketbooks which have opened so freely to charity and relief appeals during the war is the aim of a resolution of the state council of defense asking thf state legislature to enact laws which will put all public solicitation for fiinds for nid and relief purposes un der state supervision. During the period of the war--and until peace Is proclaimed--all war aid and relief projects In Illinois except those ofliially recognized by the United States government have been required by law to secure a license from the stnte council of defense before collecting funds from the public. , Plan Efficient Election Methods for increasing efficiency in conducting elections and the various conflicts in provisions of election laws were discussed at the annual meeting of the Illinois Election Commissioners association In the rooms of the Sprin Held Commercial association. J. II Ituckel, secretary of the Springfield election oommission, was chosen secre tary of the state association. Peoria Oalesburg. Freeport and Bloomlngton were other cities represented. George M. Clark of Ualesburg was selected president, while J. B. Walfenharger of Peoria was elected vice president. Approves Waterway Plan. Gen. Black, chief of the army corps of engineers at Washington. D. ,C. gave informal approval to Governor Lowden's new Illinois waterway plan after conferences with Frank I. Ben nett, director of public works; William L. Sackett, superintendent of water wqys, and Charles W. Laporte.of Peoria, a member of the waterways com inlttee of the Illinois -assembly. As soon as the,fm*asure is passed in the Illinois assembly the state officials will present it to the war department with a request for a permit and hearing by the secretary of war. Home-Rule Bill Introduced. A bill to amend the public Btilities act was introduced in the Illinois house by Representative Lyon which would prohibit the state, utilities com mission from revising or altering in any manner a contract between a mu nlcipalit.v and a public utility corpora' tlon. The measure, which carries an emergency clause, went to the com mlttee on public utilities. Its effect would be to give cities home f«le. --6- • \ Would Amend Utilities act. Members of the general assembly h£ve been flooded with resolutions of. city councils -atid -!>«aKte-of-tr4i»tee&-ia their villages, urging them to vote to amend the public utilities act "to the end that municipalities may make con tracts with public utility corporations and that such contracts shall not be abrogated or set aside," and petitioning members to vote for the amendment advocated by the Home Rule Association of Illinois. The battle fof amendment promises to be one of the most bitterly contested subjects. Ousting the Undesirable* Two deportation parties af» ranged in Chicago by the federal immigration authorities to rid the country of undesirables. One of them is to proceed to the Mexican border, via New Orleans and the other goes to New York for an ocean voyage. The southern party consists of four 'Mexicans who have flrnde' themselves obnoxious to the government in Chicago, and four Chinese, together with a few undesirables* from the West. Tl»e Mexicans will be booted across the bordef and told to stay at home. ity that farmers may be tempted to drop the growing of coarser grain*, which might result in less stock being, raised. Every effort Is being made by the Agricultural Departments of the various Provinces to Impress on the farmers that forage crops and coarse feed In abundance mean production of flesh and milk, and that In the long run the great future of the Western Provinces lies in mixed farming which will found her prosperity on a more ,endurlng basis. Mixed farming has always been the rule In the Eastern Province where the formation of the lnnd invites variety of crop, but it has not been as common In the Western Provinces, though the practice has grown in recent years. Hitherto the man mining wheat from the rich soil has purchased most of his household food and necessities, his energies being devoted to getting every possible bushel of grain out of every fbot of his lnnd. and he has pnld prices for his supplies that have made a big dent in his profits. It has now dawned on him thnt he can raise vegetables and poultry, and supply his own table; that with very little effort he can raise a lot of "garden'produce and In a very Simple manner solve his own problem of the cost of living. Further, that there is an increasing market for domestic necessities such as poultry, eggs, butter, milk and cheese, which command very high prices, and that there are other road* to prosperity besides that through-the wheat field. In 1916 Canada Imported 7.989.2C9 pounds of butter, most .of It from as far awny as New Zealand, and for the first time In 00 years failed to *hip butter to England, a condition due to the home consumption, which Is estimated to be Increasing at the rate of $3,000,000 worth a year, being greatly in excess of the inerensed supply. This condition has brought about a change in farming methods {hat Is farreaching, and will result In greatly increased production all round of the necessities demanded by tha home market. Natural Resources. One of the most important considerations to the farmer is fuel. In northern Manitoba. Saskatchewan and Alberta, where portions of the country are well wooded, the settler has little difficulty in getting all the wood he requires and thousands of men find employment in the winter cutting wood, which is shipped all over the prairie portions of the provinces. There Is an abundance of coal throughout the country. It Is estimated that the coal deposits in Alberta cover over 81,000 square miles and represent an available tonnage of over ten hundred thousand million tons, while those In Saskatchewan cover an area of 13.000 miles, containing ovpr 80,000,000 tons. In Manitoba the coal reserve is not as large, but even there 160,000.000 tons Is considered a conservative estimate. At the present time these oepoKits are uiiiy worire-d to a small extent, but there Is no doubt that they will be a great feature In upbuilding the country and will exercise a powerful Influence on its commerce. It is a common thing In the coal districts for farmers to get their coal supply off their own farm. Near Edmonton, for example,.the farmers not only supply themselves, but they carry ccal to the city market and find It a considerable source of revenue in the winter time. The Edmonton coal fields under and around the city have an estimated content of sixty thousand million tons. Farmers sell the coal at $4 a ton for domestic hse. The pioneer of Western Canada knew little of the enjoy meats of life, compared with the farmer in that country today. The continual extension of railway lines affprds facilities undreamed of a few years ago, closing up tbe gaps of communication, creating Immense business for the East in the West and the West in the East, and drawing tho farmer all the time nearer to the sones of commerce. In creating wider markets the railways are doing more than any other agency can do for Western Canada and the country as a whole. The products of tht> farms, which are now readily marketed, end the vast train of employment that follows the enlargement of the farming industry. Is crentlng new agricultural centers and causing towns and cities of Importance to grow all along Its lines. An admirable system of agricultural instruction has been developed through the efforts of the Dominion government and *he various provincial Departments of Agriculture. This forms part of the educational system of Western Canada and is doing much for all branches of agriculture. Experimental farms have been established at various points In the provinces, which have done wonders In developing improved methods of farming. The result has been a great awakening to the necessity of better methods of tillage, scientific stock raising and dairying. Farmers are beginning to realize that to get what they are entitled to out of the land, they must adopt scientific methods,.and as a result, careful seed selection, proper rotation and summer fallow Is the order of the dfay. Under the favorable conditions generally anticipated, prospects point to an nil round Increase in production that will leave a great deal of money In the hands of the western farmer this year, and prosperity for Western Canada no a whole. It will be years before Europe will make up arrears in agricultural production, caused by the enforced Idleness and wholesale destruction, and Western Canada will play a big part in filling the void. The result of the continued shortage in cattle, the future price of beef and the solution of the perplexing problem of feeding the world are vltol questions uppermost In the minds of many thinking people today. There is no doubt that tbe wide acres of Western Canada can, and will, be made to play an Important part In bringing about a proper balance in supply and demand. In the northern parts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and In Alberta are many thousands of acres of the richest pasture In the world, well watered and treated by the sunniest of climates. These rolling hills for the greater part are still unpeopled and untrodden by the hoofs of domestic animnls. One of the causes assigned for the decline In stock-raising is the reduction In the areas available for grazing on account of so many big ranches being converted* into farms. Experiments, conducted at Vermilion, Alberta, would rather go to show that the old grazing grounds were too large, and thnt the. feeding Is really better when the animal Is confined to a com- When Children are 8icfcW /Qs a» Oo^p^ Fsv^ C«T OBi to tV asuy, Have Beadadbss, StMftach or'Bowcltroabte, Tky MOTHER CRAY'S SWEET POWDERS FOR CHILDREN _"hcT ue DIMMTI "8r With, 'ftUDI Kill They are pleasant to take and a certain relief.

Gary Motor Truck Company Will Work for Better Transportation. Company Plans Wide Expansion of Its Businaaa. One of the great lessons taught the American people by the war Is the lack of adequate transportation facilities on our public highways and the need of utilizing them to the fullest extent In the delivery of material, merchandise and crops by employing motor trucks to relieve the congestion anp accelerate the movement of all necessary commodities. With almost inexhaustible supplies of coal we exper•- enced a coal famine because our transnortation facilities are limited. VVitn the greatest crops In the hlstor^°' country progress in moving thena t market has been impeded b> poor roads and poorer means °j c"riage. All this can be remedied by the more_jeneral use, of the motor truck. and truck manufacturers are making every preparation to meet the demand already here and in prospect. Among, these Is the Oary Truck Company of Gary, Indiana. This companv began operations three years ago, and has not^nly made money from the start, but has each year increased its output and net earnings, its estimated earnings for the present fiscal vear being 42 per cent on the capital "invested. Making a truck that has fulfilled the requirements of service, durability and efficiency, and with its entire output sold in advance, the Gary Motor Company is compelled to greatly enlarge its plant and equipment to undertake the business whleh has already outstripped its capacity. The location of the Gary Motor Truck Company Is in the home of the greatest steel mills in the world, giving It a distinct advantage over other manufacturers. who are often confronted by delays. The superior sales organization, which includes distributing agencies from coast to coast, enalles it to cover the market thoroughly and dfe ciently.
