The construction of the roads is to begin after the close of the-war. The action taken at the November election, therefore, will be a preparedness measure.

When the people authorize this action the state $60,000,000 in bonds. These bonds, principal and interest will be paid with funds collected from-automobile 'licenses. The law authorizing this collection already is in force and the fund is accumulating. 'No money for the construction of these roads will be raised by direct taxation. Automobile and motor truck owners.are to pay the 1 indebtedness represented by the bonds is to be paid off within twenty-five years.

To the interest and retire the bonds will require $3 280,000 a year.

Aken. advantage of the Illinois plan is that construction will he under supervision of the state department of public works, acting in -harmony with the United States government. The work will be uniform and. as near as may be, is to be completed at one time. It will take into account Jhe general needs of the entire state and will be so constructed as best to utilize the permanent roads now in existence.

Those which meet the standard re quirements will be incorporated in the system and counties which have built such roads will be compensated With tiie completion of the state's pro gram, Illinois will have a great net work of good roads.

She make several references to patients in th hospital and one of interesi to ath letes of Illinois and Soulthiern Illi noisians especially is that pertainin to Ralph Chapman.

The article, how ever, places Mr. Chapman with, th U. of C. and we believe the U. of should have the credit.

The article reads as follows: "The little piano twinkled out th gayest fox trot and two grotesque! bandaged men arranged their arm 63 tensions gravely against each other' shoulder and started a infant of 16 who had been brought i the previous afternoon with a coi tusion of the foot looked it ove care- 'ully, trying to decide if he couldn't make just a step or two, so irresistible was the music.

Only that day he had had a blood transfusion, Charles Kimbell, also of Chicago, volunteering for the operation.

SAVE THAT SEED CORN NOW Jackson County Farm, Bureau. How often have we heard it said that we do not need to hang up seed corn in Southern Illinois, that at cribbing time is soon enough. But why wait till cribbing time when you will be busier than now? Besides it is not at all certain that the corn you get at cribbing time is the equal of that you might now have drying. Tests will invariably show that it is hot as vigorous even though both germinate.

There is another side of question we should not lose, sight of. The corn plant is readily varied by selection. Some stalks are tall, others short. Some have the ears borne on long shanks, some short. Some ears are borne low, others high and some ears hang downward while others do not.

It has been, demonstrated beyond a doubt that by selection- we may, starting from the same seed, develop any of the above characteristics to a striking degree. It pays to have ears that hang downward, that are borne on strong stalks at medium height. If you select your seed from the crib, it PLEASANT HILL. Oct. 20.

The distinction of antedating all Jther schoolhouses in raising the flag belongs to a. little log' sclioolhouse on Catamount hill, Colrain, in May, 1812. The second war with Great Britain was threatening at that time, and the people of the community raised the flag in an outburst of patriotism and loyalty to the United. States The man who felled the tree to make the flagpole and three members of the committee in charge of the hoisting of the flag were a short time later marching away to the war.

After careful investigation of the claim of this school being the first to raise the Stars and Stripes, there was set up, in May; 1903, on the place where the old log schoplhouse had stood, a neat stone tablet on which was carved; The First United States Flag raised over a public school was floated in May, 1832, from a log schoolhouse which stood on this place.
