' Jftfc 0%>hen the weeTc-ettf! wj|ti fWwMTs and relatives mmm THURSDAY, MARCH The March report of Oscar Nelson, auditor of public accounts for the state of Illinois, for the banking department of his office shows 1,341 banks under his jurisdiction. Of this number 1,064 are outside of Oook county and 277 are located in Cook county, 90 of which are In the city of Chicago. The total resources of these banks are approximately $2,800,000,- 000. The resources of state banks are rapidly Increasing, showing the marvelous growth of the state of Illinois, as bank statements more dearly reflect the condition of a commonwealth than any other Index. The department *ias been exerting Its efforts in the last twelve months, particularly, toward the consolidation of smaller qnits In the banking field so that one strong Institution might replace two weaker ones. This has been accomplished to a marked degree, as in In the year 1927 there were twenty such changes. Aside from the policy of consolidation for the purpose of cutting down overhead and rendering better service to the depositors, the auditor's office has urged an Increase of capital stock, strengthening of surplus and building up of reserves so that any loss occurring might be readily disposed of without any Impairment of the rights of the creditors. Illinois, like many other states, has passed through a heavy period of depression, but this condition has been corrected to a marked degree. Trustees of Chicago's proposed World s Fair and Centennial celebration In 1933 have approved the general proportions of a preliminary sketch of ground plans for the site of the fair on the lake front. The sketch was submitted by Edward H. Bennet, recently appointed member of the fair's architectural commission, to whom that task was assigned. The plans call for a main Island of approximately 800 acres which Is expected to be completed by the middle of 1931. This artificial Island will be allowed a year to settle, leaving a year for the construction of the buildings.

Carlstrom. The land is being sought as a site for a canal which will connect the Marseilles dam and the Marseilles lock. 91m *1*00,000:m wall at town, built t© safeguard Its residents from future floods, has Just been completed. Beardstftwn is noted for something else besides floods. The city was the starting point of Lincoln's journey on a flatboat with a load of logs to New Orleans, where he saw the evils of slavery for the first time. Beardstown citizens also point with pride to the spot where Lincoln stood when he received his commission to serve in the Black Hawk war. It was in the historic old courthouse in Beardstown that Lincoln, as chief counsel for the defense, succeeded In having Jack Armstrong acquitted of a murder charge by breaking the testimony of the state's star witness. This was in 1858. The courthouse is still standing and is one of the show places of the town. New building and Work started in the state of Illinois during the last month amount to $84,277,600 and In Chicago to $63,336,900, according to a recent survey. In Illinois and Chicago the above figures were the highest February contfact totals ever recorded in both the state and the city. The state's record was 84 per cent over that of January, 1926, total, as well as 94 per cent ahead of the February. 1926, total. Chicago's total was almost double the amount reported IQ the preceding month end was more than double the amount reported In February of last year. The awarding of the contracts for the Civic opera house to be built In the city of Chicago at cost of $20,000,000 helped to swell last month's record. Completion of the new dairy building on the Illinois state fair grounds before the opening of the annual exposition next August Is practically assured. Plans and specifications are being worked out and present plans are to receive bids at an early date, Director 8. J. Stanard of the department of agriculture has announced. The proposed building will cost approximately $200,000, but the site for the structure has not been selected by the state fair advisory board. It will probably be located across the road from the coliseum. Construction of a swine pavilion also is under consideration, together with a poultry building. • Twice , Told [ _ Tales * •*- Interesting Bits of News Trim From the Columns of the ....

April 1908 Considerable excitment was manifested at the village caucus last Saturday, but it was tame in comparison with the township caucus. The meeting was called to order by John Stoffel, who issued the call. S. G. Chapell was made permanent chairman and Wm. Bacon, clerk. The community was greatly shocked Tuesday morning to learn of the death of two old and respected citizens of this township, Jerry Sherman and wife. Up to ten days ago both these aged people bid fair to spend a much longer time on this earth, although Mir. Sherman was well advanced in years and was growing quite feeble. About a week ago, however, they contracted severe colds, resulting in pneumonia, and Mr. Sherman passed away Monday night and Mrs. Sherman gave up the struggle about four hours after the spirit of her husband had departed.
