W. Freun«| : WEST M'HENRY, ILL Candidate for Reelection as REPRESENTATIVE Eighth District To the Vdxrsof the Eighth Senatorial District Feeling that Boone county is in all fairness titled to have one of the State Representatives, while Lake and McHenry counties will divide the other three places, two Representatives and the Senatorship, I have announced my candidacy for renomination. It has been my earnest endeavor to honestly faithfully represent the interests of the people of the Eighth district. I joined in the filibuster against the bill doubling the assessment of property and fought the Chicago politicians in their scheme to seize control of the state through the reapportionment bill, which would give Chicago permanent domination of the downstate and place the corrupt gangsters in the satMln fly' all time. I voted against legalised gambling as foisted up«| the state through the race track measure. The farming interests know that 1 have lined up in favor of every bill to aid agriculture. On account of the «m»l] gias of Boone county, as compared to the populous Lake county, and the much larger vote of McHenry county, Jt is impossible for Boone county to keep a representative at Springfiield without aid from both Lake McHenry counties. I am asking voters of Lake arid McHenry counties to give me consideration by marfc*,^ ing their ballots, to cast one vote for my renominatioa. N. L. Jackson A TAMING THE GREAT MONSTER i »e-o«o«o»oo <• by D. J. Watah.) NNA HALL and her daogfctsr Vanny looked at each other, bit their lips and then smiled weakly. They had already died tears enough to redden their eye- Uda. Tears, Indeed, had been their first expression after reading the lawyer's letter. Bnt they were swift to recover. Life had trained them to do that, at least. "Well," the mother said, as she replaced the letter in Its envelope, "we know the worst, snyhow. And per haps, dear, It serves us right for « pecting--" "But, mother," broke In Vanny, "you know Uncle Zenas always said he'd do something for us. He promised it and one has a right to expect a promise to be kept. We weren't counting chickens before they were hatched or anything like that, though, of course, a little money would come In bandy, especially now that you are not well. And as long as he was giving, It does seem to me he might have left us something besides that old automobile of his." She choked, swallowed hard, and smiled again bravely. "It's--It's funny. What are we going to do with an automobile? We neither of us ever handled a bit of machinery larger than an egg-beater In our lives, and I have no time for It, anyway. It takes every ounce of strength I have to keep up my office work at the mill. I suppose we might sell It," she added, hopefully "As if we could find a buyer In a small place like this for a $6,000 car, even though It was second-hand!" Mrs. Hall sighed. Well, I guess It Is funny, as you say. dear, but we must make the best of It" "That's all we can do," Vanny returned slowly. * Certainly Uncle Zenas had done an unaccountable tning In leaving such a legacy to people whom the bequest Of a few hundreds, even, would have greatly relieved In the way of finance. Uncle Zenas had loved a Joke and had continued to perpetrate them until the moment his falling hand signed his Inst will and testament. A public Institution got his money and his widowed niece the huge touring car which, driven by a colored chauffeur, had been wont to take him on dally airings. The car arrived by way of the worst road In all that locality--a road which was a foot deep with mud after a heavy rain; lt| was coated, plastered, splashed with |oil and the two women beheld It with woeful hearts. It was a monster and an impotent monster at that, for It seemed to breathe Its last Just as It reached the shelter of the apple tree that shaded the Hall house. The man who had brought it departed without an attempt to bring It to life. Vanny stood looking at tt with ber small, dark, sweet face puckered into an expression of suffering. She was sick at heart, but she would not let her mother know. "Poor old beast r she said. "It--lfs almost as Mg as the bouse," gasped Mrs. Hall. "Where are we going to put It, Vannyt We haven't >! ay barn.** "I dont know," Vanny replied. "Well think of that later, first of nil Tm going to use my Saturday .fternoon at home to clean ft." "You don't know how." "Well, I've seen them at the garage doing things to oars with a sponge and hose. Fm going to try and see w bat kind of a complexion the creai are has, anyway. Just wait till I get my garden suit on." Vanny In her garden suit looked like a nice boy of sixteen, but she had not n boy's strength and vigor. By the time she had squirted a half-ton of water on the car and polished It dry sne was exhausted. But the car was transformed. It was worn, of course, but like a piece of battered mahogany. It commanded respect. "It can't live under the apple tree forever," Vanny said. *Tve get to find a home for It. I tblak Pil go In and take a scrub myself, mother. Then If yon 11 find me a good sapper Til try to look after the dear «M monster further.** "Why, do yoa like tt, Vaanyr asked Mrs. HaH with a nete ef aarprtse la her voice. Vanny langehd. "I believe I could easily, bnt Fd bave to have moito than a speaking acquaintance with It I'd--I'd have to learn to manage tt, yea know, mother !** "That great thing! With year slender shoulders and small hands! Oh. vanny, you frighten me." "Mother, dear, I shall do nothing unwise. But women do drive big cars. Don't you remember seeing them la the city? And--and I always did have a fondness for Una and the f ton." 8he laughed tremendously id rsn upstairs. When she came down ready for supper she looked fresh and cool and rested. After supper she went out and looked st the car. She stroked the glossy varnish admiringly. Suddenly she spoke to her mother, who had followed her out of the house and wss watching her anxiously: "I'm going down to the garage la talk to Mr. Pike." She was gone barely ten minutes and came hurrying back looking very much distressed. "Mr. Pike la all alooe and caa't leave the place.

Doubts Not Wanted I will listen to anyone's convictions,, but pray keep your doubts to yoarsstf. ~-<Joetbe. er, he confessed lie knew nothing about this kind of a machine. I think he was afraid to try to handle it So( there you are! No help from that direction. But I can't let the monster stand under the apple tree all night. Those awful Kemp kids will be swarming all over It" ' •- "Well, what are you going to dot" asked Mrs. Hall in despair. Vanny drew a deep breath. > "I'm going over to Wilson"! ta phone to P^pi Scott" "Vanny!" . "Yes, I am. I know the Scotts have hardly been aware of our existence for the last six years since that lucky venture which sent the Scott name and fame higher than a rocket. I'm not beholden to them, but. mother. Paul is home now and he does know cars of this kind. I've got to do something with this one and he's the only person who can help me. So I'm going to pocket my pride and ask him. Here goes." Prom this second expedition she returned radiant "Paul's coming right down. He was Just as nice as he could be. He called me Vanny Just as he used to." Ten minutes later a car paused at the curb and Paul Scott glowing and athletic, came swiftly '".cross the grass to where Vanny waited, putting a few finishing touches to the monster as she did so. "Why, this is some car, believe me!" the young man cried. He walked around it. Then be opened the hood and did some unintelligible but successful thing with it The monster choked, sputtered, then began to purr like a contented cat "Step In. both of yon," Pan! *afd, "and we'll try its paces. Then I'll tell you, Vanny, you must let me teach you to run It You can keep It in our garage meanwhile. I'm home now for two weeks and I'm sure in that time you will learn to handle the machine. As soon as you do, you and your mother will get no end of fun ont of It." Out on the smooth state road the monster behaved like a gentleman-- behaved so well that Vanny took her courage between her even wblte teeth, and let Paul teach her how to handle the wheel. It was the first of many delightful lessons. By the end of the two weeks of Paul's stay Vanny had acquired the mastery of the big car and was really enjoying herself. Besides her new accomplishment, she had gained in self reliance and color, for the fresh air and change was just what she needed after long hours of desk work. Moreover, she and Paul had become the best of friends. He had promise*) to find a buyer for the monster In the city and one day he wrote her tha* he was sending a man down. "Cars are cars, remember, Vanny." he wrote. "You ought to get three thousand dollars at least for the monster." Three thoussnd dollar* t Vannle was nearly wild with delight Thre>- thousand dollars! And three thousand doUars waswhat she got But even with th. check In her haBds, her heart was heavy as she saw the old car driven away. The days seemed very empty after that She had loved the monster more than she knew. She missed it Sbe missed all It had meant to her, Paul and-- Then one day Paul came. "I bad to come and see how yoa were getting along without the monster-- and me," he said, smiling. "You see, Vanny, I find I want yoa very much more In the city than I thought I had learned to do here In the country. Y ou're the most wonderful girl I ever knew. You did more than tame the monster, Vanny. You made me love you with all my heart and want yon for my wife." BIG INCREASE IN SALES OP CHESTERFIELD CIGARETTHS From seven billion smoked in 1922 to twenty-eight billion smoked in 1927 sales doubled and redoubled all within five years. These are the startling figures announced by the Liggett & Myers Tobacco Company for their ever-popular Chesterfield cigarette. This amazing growth, representing a gain of 300 percent, signalises not only the universal preference for the cigarette as the smokers' choice, but the acceptance of this one particular brand as the popular favorite. It is conservatively estimated that Chesterfield has acquired at least a million new users in a little over a year--certainly convincing proof that finer quality and better taste is substantially recognized by the cigarette smoking public. This genuine testimonial for good tobaccos and good blending is based largely on Chesterfield's particularly pleasing flavor and taste. As it' is stated in the advertisements, Chester, fields are "mild and yet they satisfy"; in other words, the flavor has been so skillfully balanced as to eliminate any suggestion of harshness or bite, and yet leave enough richness and body to "let a smoker know he's smoking." Nor is Chesterfield's rapid growth limited to the boundaries of the United States. Sales reports have revealed that this brand is worldwide in its acceptance, as shown by the fact that in practically all the principal cities of the world it is fbund to be among the leading sellers. In fact. Chesterfield's world-wide recognition has given rise to another new advertising slogan which truthfully asserts that "the sun never sets on Chesterfield's popularity," with Hie added distinction that "Such popularity must be deserved" because of a taste and quality which won smokers the world over and will continue to win them because it is what they want. In" current advertising, Liggett A Myers is making strong use of their oft-repeated "platform," in which they declare over their signature that it is their honest belief "that the tobaccos used in Chesterfield cigarettes are of the finer quality and hence of better taste than in any other cigarette at the price." •; • 'wzfr •>: ;j 'tU:- m The Dfearn of Every Married Couple " i A rented house is never as completely a horns as one you own yourself.

A few demands from parents are advisable in that they make for unselfishness and thouehtfulness In the child. One may, unless one Is careful, be selfish In tile practice of unselfishness. Parents must not live Just for their children. It's s calamity for the lit* tie folk to be In the limelight of even their parents' interest all the tlmei They must have their own chance to see the parents as Important people who are to be loved and planned tor, quite In the same way that the par* ents love and plan for them.
