Milk products of the 7,100,. 000 dairy herd havn been the prime factor In an wionomlo evolution, which is rnpldly providing farmers with an all year round Income. Tho states are Wisconsin. Minnesota, Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska und the two TJakotas. The economic change Is the tendency away from one crop farming, which dairying has led, nnd Its most Interesting- manifestation the fact that in after the war deflation the value of dairy products suffered tho least of all farm goods.

In Minnesota dairying has not displaced grain, but has supplemented It until tho dairy products of Minnesota are valued at $235,000,000 a year wth butter alone totaling $99,760,000, Iowa, banner corn state of the union, has turned more and more to dairy farming. Carl N. Kennedy, assistant secretary of the, Iowa Department of Agriculture sold that Iowa oreamerles produced annually $140,000,000 pounds of butter, returning to farmers $60,000,000 and that the dairy industry in Iowa Is on the Increase. The biggest relative dairy Increase reported by any state Is that from North Dakota, State Dairy Commissioner J. A.

Busby said that since 1019 butter, fat production has In creased from 10.000,000 to 40,000,000 pounds a yprxr nnd that the money value has Jumped from $1,000,000 to $1.1,000,000. Poultry and egg production both In quantity and money show similar Increase, A. L. Haochcr, secretary of tho Nebraska creamery association reports an Increase of 20 per cent in dairy cows In Nebraska during tho last flvu years. Tho revenue from butter nlone represents about 000,000 annually nnd this year the, Indications point to nn increase of 4 to per cent, Reports from Pierre, capital of South Dakota, say the dairying Industry In that ntato Is In Its Infancy, but that the ntato department of agrlcul ture hopes soon to help augment dairy farming.

Of tho seven states, Illinois has the third largest dairy herd, Wisconsin and Minnesota exceeding It.

Judge Sits Defendant Where He Once Presided WOODSTOCK. 111., Sept. 23, County Judge C. P. Barnes, In the court room where he often has Bided, today sat as a witness In his own defense.

His unhurried manner contrasted somewhat with that of V. S. Lumley, thrice state's attorney of McHenry county. Barnes and Lumley are co-defendants charged with subordination of perjury and conspiracy to send to prison Fremont Hoy and his eon, Clarence, bankers now serving eentence at Joliet penitentiary. The defense must complete Us testimony today, Judge E.

D. Reynolds of Rookford, has ruled, Lumley testified yesterday. Answering charges that he had split a fee, Barnes said he had suggested that his clients, Samuel and Clifford Wilson, McHenry county farmers, In a suit Involving a transaction with the bankers, contribute toward the expenses of Lumley's client, Truman A. Abbott, 70 years old retired farmer, who was the chief complainant against the Hoys. Lumley, Barnes testified, dellber.

ately said he thought that morally the Wilsons ought to pay something toward the expenses of "poor old Del Abbott." Rummaging In a stack of flies, the witness produced a letter to show that conferences he had had with Fremont Hoy before the latter was tried, were approved by Hoys' counsel. WASHINGTON. D. Sept. All male citizens of Illinois between the sges af IS and 20 will he liable to conscription for military service if legislation to be advocated before Conby the War Department at Its next session Is given the approval of the lawmaklng body.

In addition, all male between the ages of 18 and 45. "Without deferment on account, of Industrial or agricultural ocetipatlftns "will be required to register for iueh service an the military may assign un der the terms of the sweeping selective draft law which hai been evolv ed by army Legislation containing these two outstanding provisions has bftcn referred to the joint board of the army and na.vy for the, purpose of reaching an agreement on minor details. It has also been submitted to army re serve In Illinois and other states with a request that It be given the widest possible publicity, to the end that attention may be focused upon It. The bill, now In virtual final shape for introduction to Congress at tho re quest of the War Department, pro vldes that after Congress has declared a "national emergency" to exist the President may proceed forthwith to draft for military service all males be tween 18 and 30, without certain nar row exemptions of public officials. "National emergency" will be de fined as any situation that.may threat en the peacp or order of the nation and the law, It is "said, will be broad enough In Its' provisions to take In domestic disorders as well as a threat of invasion by an alien enemy.

Provision Is to be made for quotas based on population to equalize the draft burden on all states, but with estimates of quotas to govern first al lotments In the Interest of speed, to be corrected to actual figures In sub sequent calls. The exclusion and deferment provls lone cover cases of those with de pendents and those found physically mentally or morally deficient, and In putting the law Into effect the presl dent would bo authorized to create al necessary agencies, formulate all rules and regulations and to employ tlv services of all federal, state or terrl torlal officers In whatever capacity might elect In its execution. Specific authority to make complete plans In this regard In peace tlms is Included and full power to delegate hlg power as might be necessary i given the chief executive. Congressional committees did work on the general project na. tional defense at the last session, bu gave their attention chiefly to th American Legion suggestion that a blanket universal conscription act, ap plying to all forms of labor and cap! taT, be enacted.

The bill which has the approval the army and navy Is less far reach Ing than the proposal of the American Legion. It does not propose tha capital shall be drafted, and the con serlptlon limits would be definitely set at 18 and 4G years, respectively. While no provision Is made for ex emptlon based upon occupation, th law gives wide latitude to the pres! dent, to be delegated to the military to create regulations provldlnr for the furloughlng of individuals and group whose maintenance In civil occupa tlons Is deemed essential to the na. tional defense.

Chicago womnn wns an Imposter. 'Mother said last night at her home In Denver, that the woman was an Imposter, and that Mary has com- munlcated with her only a day or two ago. That should be sufficient. In addition to the fact that mother has denied the Identity of the Chicago woman, Is the fact that Mary Is only 2S yenrs old, whereas the Chicago womnn Is said to he 45 or 4S years old."
