VOTE ON GOOD ROADS BONDS. IN FALL ELECTION * vA plan has been endorsed by the Highway Commissioners Good Roads association to issue $5,000,000 county good roads bonds that the improve- ment of roads in Cook county may be #arried on until other funds are available in 1921. The bond issue 'will be voted upon at the election of November 4. The question of road improvement is one in which all the 'people of Cook county are cencerned and one in which north shore people are greatly interested. President William Busse and Sec- retary F. C. Dettmering have sent out the following report of the an- nual meeting of the association: "The annual meeting of the High- way Commissioners Good Roads association was held in the county 'board rooms, Chicago, on Wednesday afternoon, September 24, at 2 «o'clock. "This association was organized for the purpose of bringing-about better «co-operation between highway com- missioners, county, city and state of- ficials who have to do with the con- struction and maintenance of hard- surfaced highways and the care of all 'bridges and the lateral roads of Cook «county. "William G. Edens, president of the Associated Roads organization, ad- dressed the meeting and told of the present situation in Cook County 'with respect to future road building plans. "The following resolutions were 'unanimously adopted im support of 'the $5,000,000 Cook County bond issue: "Whereas, under the plan adopted by Illinois to assure the immediate use of $12,000,000 federal aid money on the highways of this state, there will be no funds available urtil 1921 for the continuation of a compre- hensive plan of development on the roads of Cook county; and "Whereas, the public has observed the important commercial and social benefits resulting from previous bond nent good roads; therefore be it "Resolved, by the Highway Com- association, assembled in meeting on September 24, 1919, that we hereby endorse a plan for the issuance of $5,000,000 on at the election next November, the money from said bonds to carry 'through a construction program of approximately two years, at the end time the $60,000,000 state bond issue will be available to con- tinue the work. "It was ordered upon motion that 'township highway commissioners, village presidents and clerks, and to all of the newspapers published in Cook county. It is respectfully urged that all of these parties should bring this matter to the attention of the voters beween now and election on November 4, so that the issue may be fully understood." : IS ESSENTIAL FOR USE IN BATTERIES Putting ordinary water in a bat- ice in a refrigerator. Once or twice may do no harm, but the trouble piles up, and everything happend at "When a storage battery is built," says Mr. Carpenter, north shore rep- resentative of the Willard Storage Battery company, "it has in it all the elements necessary to insure satisfactory operation. Nothing can :get out of it except the water that 'evaporates, and nothing can get into it unless it is contained in some form in the water that you add. "If distilled water only is added week or so to make up for the -amount that evaporates contains ever so little iron in any form or other substance, this will remain in the 'battery. A little more is put in each time, and soon there is enough to interfere with proper action, and your battery wears out much more rapidly that it should. "If distilled water only is added there is no chance of foreign sub- stances working their way in, and consequently the battery plates will give better and longer service." Thrift is steady earning, wise spending, sane saving, careful in- vesting, and the .avoidance of all "waste. 3 til WS 1919 American Legion Prepares to Lend Support to $750,000 Roosevelt Memorial Campaign All over the state of Illinois the American Legion is preparing to give whole-hearted support to the Roose- velt Memorial Association's cam- paign for $750,000 with which to erect monuments, parks and endowments in honor of the great ex-President. Without exception the returned sold- iers and sailors revere the memory of the hero of San Juan hill and the one American who first saw and preached the need of national pre- paredness. When the drive starts October 20, the military men will be on hand recounting the Colonels personal bravery, his Spartan forti® tude in sending his four sons to the war and his firmness in the fact of the disaster which befell him when his son Quentin was killed in his air- plane, and his sons Theodore, Jr, and Archie were wounded in France. With the addition of the American Legion to those bodies that will as- sist in the non-partisan, non-class, none-sectarian campaign, organiza- tion nears completion in Illinois. Some county chairmen are yet to be chosen but the congressional district chairmen's reports daily show splend- id progress toward completion of the organization of their counties. In farming communities particularly the DRY SOILS AND SOILS THAT BLOW Farmers of the Pacific Northwest who practice dry farming, particu- larly those who operate in the Col- umbia and Snake River basins, will find questions of vital interest to them discussed in Farmers' Bulletin 1047, just published by the United States Department of Agriculture. The more progressive farmers of this region have developed methods of handling summer fallow that bring much higher wheat yields than those that have been generally followed hitherto. This bulletin describes in detail these improved methods as applied on both "blow" and "non- blow" soils. SIOUX FOREST AREA DECREAS- ED The President on September 2 signed a proclamation eliminating approximately 18,000 acres from the l.ong Pine Division of the Sioux Na- tional Fores along the .Montana- South Dakota State line. The action taken is on recommendation of the Secretary of Agriculture, based on a detailed land classification made by the Forest service. The lands were found not to be of value for National Forest purposes. SCHULZE'S Butter-Nut BREAD . SoA | WHEN A | BETTER BREAD | CAN BE MADE | WE WILL MAKE IT | drive will be quickly over, it is freely predicted at the association's head- quarters, for "Teddy's" popularity with all men who live in the open was proverbial, and his nearness to the staunch Americanism of the Middle western farmer was always a noteworthy thing. Outside Chicago the state's quota is $3,000,000 and it is known that the emphasis of the campaign will not be spent so much on the speed with which this is raised as on the ac- cumulation of great numbers of sign- ers, the size of the membership be- high idealism and Americanism that dictated the Colonel's life, thoughts and actions. ing of more importance than the size of the contribution, since the princip- al aim of the drive is to bring home: RY Ld A PL OL i dod Bl a ed edd NORTH SHORE RUBBER CO.
