W: (Political Advertising) Mainly to Point Out t WHY State Senator^ Rodney Be Swift Deserves to have you go to the polls April 10th and vote for his nomination for another term as State Senator of the 8th District--Lake, McHenry and Boone ^ QUALIFICATIONS Born in Maine and moved to Iowa as boy where working for a dealer in farm implements and teaching school he saved the money to pay his way through the Iowa State College, Ames, and graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree and then through the Law Department of the Iowa State University, Iowa City. He spent 25 years in the implement manufacturing business, holding positions as assistant to the general manager, patent attorney, head of the experimental department and general attorney, and traveled over the world where grain and grass are grown. The Government of France awarded him a gold medal for his services to agriculture. Owning one-third of the Keystone Company, which was sold to the International Harvester Company, he bought land in this and other states and established the Rodney farms at Libertyville,'where he imported, bred and dealt in cattle, horses and hogs. He was president of the Milk Producers' Association when it won the strike for better prices, the only time when an organization of farmew demanded and got ittj.pfwe for its commodities." • He has been president of his local school board and was the first president of the Libertyville Township High School Board. He was director for years of the Farmers ' State Institute, has been on the Committee oh Education in the state senate for 12 years and is now and has been for years one of the advisory council of the Illinois State University. The sale of 300 acres of his Libertyville farm to the Catholic Archbishop for the seminary at Mundelein and the desire to get his children nearer to the school along the North Shore caused him to locate at Highland Park, where he now reside* DUTIES The statutes of Illinois consist of 2,600 pages of double column, brevier type, consisting of more than 25,000 laws, rules and methods of procedure. To modify, amend and devise new and better laws and procedure is only possible to those of experience and aptitude. . Senator Swift has been a member of the senate for 12 years and is again a candidate and is an invaluable servant of the state. Paring the 12 years Senator Swift has served, more than 9,000 bills have been introduced. He has been one of the most industrious members in aiding in defeating more than 7,500 of these bills and has helped pass less than 5 per cent of them. There are already too many laws. It takes little ability to vote "yes" and "no" but to intelligently discuss measures requires knowledge, experience and good sense. SERVICE He has been present in his seat every day during his 12 years that the senate has been in session, except two days when sickness in his family kept him away. No man in the legislature knows better than he the business condition of the state and no one has had the temerity in fighting many of the objectionable measures demanding money. " Of Mm the Legislative Voters League said: "He has made a highly creditable record; was one of the most steadfast members of the Senate in opposing the objectionable schemes of Gov. Small; he has made a close study of appropriation bills and presented amendments to such bills in committee and on the floor which saved the peo pie a great deal of money." In the most turbulent committee meeting <£ the Senate in years he forced into the 100 million dollar cement road bill nearly 100 miles of additional roads for Lake, Mc Henry and Boone counties. Even with this additional mileage the North end of the state got less than 75 per oent of the roads to which its traffic and auto license fees entitled it. He has fought tlie fight of the dairymen «"d has won both indemnity money and modified regulations for them and he has plans to do more. He has by his vote and in committee helped to limit the epidemic of wagering that was rapidly spreading over the state to five enclosures where hope racing may take place, which tracks must pay a license fee of $1,500 to $2,500 a day to the Department of Agriculture of the state. No track can open without giving bond to observe the law and cannot continue its meeting but 33 days in any one year. No wagering is allowed except by pari mutuel machines which cannot retain but 6Y2 per cent. Betting had been running into the millions of dollars anc the courts and district attorneys were powerless. Now this new law, backed by strong men who came to Spring field and guaranteed its enforcement, will be a place to start from to still further control wagering. His activities have been in many lines and other arti cles will follow. MWOWOOD Mrs. James Rainy spent Wednesday with her aunt at Richmond. Floyd Foss was a Chicago visitor Thursday.

A's partner and his caddie begin to jump up and down no more than six feet from the cup, and while they are doing so the ball drops into the cup. A claims he has holed out in three. One of his opponents claims that he is entitled to nothing better than a four, and that he really should be disqualified on t\e hole because of the action of his partner and his caddie. Unless it can be shown that the action of A's partner or his caddie caused the ball to drop, which would appear very unlikely, A must be credited with a three on the hole. However, the other side was afforded protection under the rules had the players hut known it.

The express riders and station keepers won undying fame for getting the message through, regardless of hardship or danger. In fact and in spirit, the Bell System is the lineal descendant of the pony express. Operators volunteer to remain at their switchboards in the face of fire, flood or other great danger. Linemen go out to repair the lines in time of accident or storm--even at the risk of their lives. There are no instructions requiring Bell System employees to endanger their lives.
