Willl of St. Jacob, former chairman of tbe County Board; A. 0. Gowen, mayor of Colllnsville; and W. E.

Howden of Edwardsville, County Superintendent of Highways. The' necessity for much work in behalf of the bond issue is based largely upon the circumstances that those who do not vote at all on the subject are helping to defeat It just as assuredly as those who may cast an adverse vote. It is therefore necessary to secure a sufficient number of favoring votes. The committee named expects to do a great deal of educational work dur ing the four weeks remaining be tween now and the general election at which this proposition wll! be voted upon. It will.be noted that the commit tee is made up of prominent repnb llcans and prominent democrats, the idea being that politics does not enter into the highway necessities CANNING SEASON SAW MUCH CORN PUT AWAY Hoopeston, Oct.

Within an hour after the game yesterday Giant backers poured their money Into the market, and the odds of 9 to 5, at which the market had opened, quickly switched to 2 to 1. Washington, however, is favored to win today's contest, and $11,000 to was placed with W.
