Chester, Champaign. HUGE Fifty Thousand Bunlielw of Corn Hond- ed Toward Maroa. Maroa News-Times: At the Shellabarger plant a week ago Thursday. i less than ten hours, 23S loads of corn were received. This means that for the ten hours one load was dumped every two minutes and a half.

The amount received in bushels was about 13.000. The worst jam was a week ago Friday forenoon, when for severiu hours an average of seventy-five teams were jammed in the street, reaching- for a block on each side of the Illinois Central tracks. By noon almost 200 loads had been weighed and dumped, and in the meantime all the bins that coul-1 bo reached by one of the three large elevators became filled, so that only two remained to handle the grain. The prospect of even a greater jam in the afternoon made conditions so serious that J. Compton found it necessary to send word by telephone and wise to all the places where shellers were at work that no more grain could be received that day.

This put a checiv to very heavy deliveries and while large amounts of grain have been om- ins in since, no such jam has resulted. Many of the oldest residents say that they never saw such a jam in Maroa. From the number of shellers that were in operation in this i i i it is likely that 50.000 bushels would have been delivered here that day had the plant been abie to receive it. Scraps of News.

CHANGES HABITS OF CITY The i order increasing the i day of government employes a hour, -which was authorized by the cabinet, will revolutionize hab- ts and customs in Washington, says a dispatch from that city. In that cits a men arid women are employed in a i government departments. Every line of business in Wash- i has been regulated to fit the convenience of these producers of lo- al wealth. it is now resarded as certain that because of the new order stores will uive to bo kept open longer.

Lecture hours In the various educational ins i i which attended largely clerks, i have to be changed. The for a which are very popular in Washington, will have to be modified. Baseball games, which i the chief outdoor diversion of 'Washington, will have to be scheduled for 5 o'clock hereafter instead of 4:30. Readjustment of the schedules of all suburban trains has been made necessary. The Pennsylvania railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio railroad have lready announced their intention to hans-e a train schedules for the accommodation of government clerks i i out of town.

The most important and revolutionary effect of the order, however, acc to hundreds of government em- ployes, will be the breaking up of the a i i a 5 o'clock dinner habit, i has become an institution in Washington. An Inventor's Quincy, Jan. A. Manker, president of the bank at Pearl, down In Pike county, has invented a propeller for steam boats that, if it accomplishes all that it Is believed it will, there will be a revolution in the steam boat business. For some time experiments have been carefully carried on by Mr.

Manker and others, at Pearl, on the Illinois river. to determine the utility of this new and wonderful plan of water transportation, which, to speak in a general way, consists In means of giving- the common screw propeller an efficiency of several times that heretofore attained, also consists in means of reducing displacement and resistance of water to a minimum. In tho several trials had a speed was developed of over eight times that allowed by the same sized boat traveling under ordinary conditions. Though this is a startling statement, it is said to be true. Mr.

Manker has perfected his patents and organized a company to build and eo.uic boats. It is now proposed to build a boat for exhibition at the World's Fair next year. The boat will attract i i attention at that time to give it a world-wide reputation. Rock Inland lo Enter Pt. bouis, Jan.
