I AST season we left SAnta Anita with plenty of cherries in our pockets. We were driving all the way back to the East coast in a new streamlined Sputzola, figuring we ought to see something besides a racetrack for once in our life. "Why don't we drop down and across the border," Mudder McMork suggests, "and see If we can find ourselves a couple of long shots which can win us, some more dough?" "Now listen," says Beezer Bertie, "we has all of us taken the solemn oath that w$ will lay off the races until we^ats to New York so *e will be. sure to arrive a.t home plus, our pants. And now already you want to break up a gentlemen's agreement, which shows you have/no more backbone than a jellyfish." "I resent that erode!** Chirps Mudder. But that is as far; as it g<*»s becatise Bertie weighs 21Q in the lirtth tab while Mudder-can't tip the' rii-nles at 125 except after a very heavv meal. • . ; •' . We are bowling along enjoying the California sunshine when like r mir ad# we run right smack Into »s preu.v a half-mile racing oval as a horse ever dteamed about "How Is It," says Harry the I'in heart with much surprise, "Itaf we have never heard of this here trgck ••efore?" "Search me," I says.. "Bee tt<feKk« like Mudder here wished It'on us." Of coarse there Is no use In trying to stop sly dluy pals from piling our of the bus and Investigating ihis mysterious matter. Everything at this track looks beautiful; there are many lovely bangtails and almost enough pretty babies to suit Mudder McMork. There Is also a line of bookies in front of the clubhouse and they are collecting cash very fast because the main event Is about ready to go. "This must be a big futurity or something," Mudder says. "Why I ain't 'seen so much money since the Hst time I robbed a bank." Just then a frail gives Mudder a poke. "Hello, dearie," she says; "Want a good tip?" "Why not?" wys" Mudder. "Then lay 'your pennies on Piccolo which Is due to win this race positively." "Listen,^ dope," Beezer Bertie Interrupts, "there Is something nertzy about this here place. I do not like the looks of It at all. You had better keep your cherries in yoar pockets rather than throw them away on a crazy hunch." But tl^ere is no holding Mudder now. "What Is the odds on this here Piccolo?" he yells at. a slip snatcher. "The odds Is 100 to 1. on that beautiful bangtail," the bookie replies. Then Mudder goes absolutely out of his mind, which Is not so difficult for him to do. "Man," he states, "this Is the tip I beea waiting for all my life. It cannot go wrong because it was slipped to me by a pretty with very red hair-." "AH right," I says, knowing we cannot stop him, "go ahead and bet yourself two or maybe three dollars on that nag nobody ever Jieard of an\) let's start back to .V«w*YAk.'.' However, Mudder has one idea about betting whic>» is that If a hide Is worth one dollar of a man's money then he is worth every dollar. "So," Mudder says, "I bets It all px I bets nothing:" Which if course means that he bets it alL We are looking very sad when Mudder goes and cracks down ten thoti: sand smackers. Byt then I sees something that makes me burst out laughing. I kicks llarry and Bertie and they almost pass out, too. And when Mudder comes back we gang around him so that he won't know nothing at alt, which is his natural state of mind, anyway. Then we rushes Mudder to <the rail to watch the ponies go around. "Gentlemen," McMonk says, trembling from the money fever, "4 am very sorry that I will have to leave you forever after this race because with the million cash which I win I am going to buy me a ladies' college at which I shall give free educations to all beautiful blonds." Mudder faints from Joy when Piccolo wins the race and we have to carry him to the ^paying window where the oashler hands him a basket full of greenbacks. Then everybody laughs themselves sick and Mudder finally wakes up that this is only „a movie studio setup as lie looks in the basket and sees it Is filled with stage luuuey. PERSONALS 3!

Good Example of State School Movement Idea First Proposed and " Developed by Native ISons. • v . " PUBLIC SERVICE COMPANY EXTENDING FARM SERVICE A review of recent rural electrical development in Illinois shows that the Public Service Company of Northern Illinois has been energetically extending its electric system to hundreds of additional farms. Last year over 1,100 farm rural customers were supplied for the first time with electricity by Public Service, Company,' and this progress is being extended at the rate of approximately 100 additional customers each month. Youthful, as educational Institu The policy on Which this program tions go, yet vigorous and suhstan ' 0f development is based'is that of tlal, the. University of Illinois today I extending electric service to any Is one of the outstanding examples | farm or group of farmers who will of what a state university should be. ^ use for a period of. eighty months an The establishment of this Instrtu amount of -electricity each month tlon in 1867, along with the Land «lual in cost to l/80th of the invest- Grant schools In other states, came ment made by the Company to serve about as the result of a proposal orig- i them, with the understanding that FELT SPORTS HAT Inally made by Jonathan B. Turner In 1852. He proposed the setting aside of public lands to support Industrial universities in each state, and particularly a system of universities or agricultural and mechanical colleges. This sound idea developed Into the each monthly bill shall not be less than $3<5Q. The electricity, is furnished at the same rates to rural and farih customers as to those in cities and villages served by thfe company. ° This arrangement enables the largest group of higher educational farmer to obtain electricity without histltutlons In the world with a common origin. Jonathan B. Turner was a product of Illinois. Other Illinois men aided In tha fight for the development of this Idea. 'By 1S62.the proposal was made the basis of an Act ttnown as the Land Grant Aot, signed by aa Illinois president. Abraham Lincoln. Dr. H. S. Prltchett, former. President of the Carnegie Foundation • for the Advancement of Teaching, ono« •aid: "The rise of these great universities is the most epoch • maklag feature of oar American civilization, and they are to become more and more the leaders and makers of our civilisation. They are of the best. When a state university has gained solid ground. It means that the people of a whole state have turned their faces toward the light." Tha University of^Illinois -has reached solid ground. When the University of Illinois opened In 1868 there was an original registration of fifty •tu<renta and tha faculty numbared thre« persons. During' tha present year mora than 11,000 students are enrolled. The Instructional stfcff, on a full-time basis, Is equivalent to approximately S00 persons; clerical and administrative • tall, laborers and others, bring the total to almost 1,700 persons. Faculty Outstanding. Many of the University's faculty ara! world renowned for their teachings and for their contributions to mankind. At their service have been a great physical plant and equipment which have made their scientific work possible. The people of tha state, through their representatives in the State Legislature, any investment, on his part for the extension to his premises, providing he uses the required amount of electricity. This plan has been received Very favorably by the farmers as ia? indicated by the fact tha( til# cornpan is connecting more ttvan 100 additional farm customers each month. Thus, farmers who have not heretofore, for one reason or another, Burlington, been able to have electricity work for them on their farms are now finding this possible. Today Public Service Company has made service available to over 14,000 farms and rural homes which is about a 50 per cent covtr- •«re- Maria Guy buttons together the two sections oifi her new felt sports hat.
