CRIPPLED BOY KILLS FOSTER PARENTS WHO THREATENED TO BEAT HIM Bloomington, Ill., October 17. Central Illinois' strangest homicide was that near Milford when Herbert Stewart shot and killed both of his foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Armstrong, as the sequel to alleged cruel treatment. A heavy blacksnake whip which the boy claims was frequently used to lash him is in the possession of States Attorney J. E. Johnson. A claim that the lad is mentally incompetent is disputed by alienists who have conducted an examination. Seemingly unmindful of the possible dire consequences of his act, the boy sleeps soundly and eats heartily in his cell in the County Jail. He devotes all of his time to the study of bookkeeping, in which he appears to take a keen interest. Young Stewart was born with deformed legs and was compelled to walk with the aid of crutches from early childhood. Until braces were applied to his legs he was compelled to crawl about by using his arms, dragging his legs behind him . Olive Baptist Asso linois; Trustee of the ning School, located Had Argument Over Auto. He was ingenuious in arranging pedal extensions so that he could operate his foster-father's automobile with it the use of his feet. The ear was a great attraction to the crippled lad, and upon the day of the double murder he treated several girl friends to a ride instead of going to school. When he failed to return home for dinner the foster father went to New Milford in search of him. He found the boy in a store and ordered him to go home. According to the story of the boy he was told to go to his room and await a thrashing. Determined not to submit to further treatment of this kind, he says, he seized his rifle and when his foster parents approached, the father carrying the black-nake whip, he shot and killed both. He then called up the neighbors and asked them to notify the shefft. Not much is known concerning the youth. The general atmosphere of the farm house indicated that he was not a welcome resident. He was compelled to do a man's work despite his crippled condition. Public Sympathy with Boy. Neighbors and relatives are ready to go upon the stand and testily to the frequent beatings of the crippled boy by his foster parents The sympathy of the public appears to be with the prisoner. Large quantities of books, magazines and eatables have been sent to him. Physicians who have examined the youth think that his crippled condition was due to infantile paralysis They expressed the belief that this disease, while affecting the motor nerves and muscles of the neck, was not productive of mental incompetency. As there were no eye witnesses of the shooting the boy will be permitted to tell his story at the trial. 11781 MOTTO: "HEW TO THE LINE, LET THE CHIPS FALL WHERE THEY MAY." Navel Construction Plan Will Permit Seating of 75,000 People Urbana, Ill., October 18 - New plans for the University of Illinois Memorial Stadium call for a three deck seating arrangement, an entirely distinct and unique feature in collegiate stadium construction designs. This novel plan will provide seating capacity for 75 ood people along the sides of the gridiron and will eliminate seats on the curved ends The stadium will be the center of a recreation field of 100 acres. The total cost will be $2,500,000 all of which will be donated by students and alumni, without state aid. It will extend 1000 feet north and south, 650 feet east and west, and the seats will be conaentrated between the two center stands, along a vantage of 520 feet. The two balconies over the ground floor, towering 107 feet will be supported by cantilevers from the rear, so that columns will not obstruct the view of spectators. Under each side of the stadium there is to be a hall, to be known, respectively, as East Memorial and West Memorial Hall, in which are to be placed the memorial columns and tables dedicated to the 183 Illini who fell in the war. All seats will be dedicated to fighting forces of the state and university. A gridiron, baseball diamond, quarter-mile track and 220-yard straightaway are to be enclosed within the stadium, while on the recreation field is planned 25 baseball diamonds, 100 lawn and clay tennis courts, 10 gridirons, soccer and hocky fields, basket-ball and handball courts, a polo field and perhaps an artificial ice skating ink. Practically 700,000 has already been subscribed by students. The remaining funds are to be pledged by the university's 50,000 graduates and former students. Proud Of Your Farm Name It And Patent It. Washington. Secretary Wallace of the Department of Agriculture has sent out a notice that he hopes will come to the attention of all farmers proud of their farm development. He wants them to know that they can patent the name of their farm and so establish a patented standard of quality for their produce. The United States patent office recently approved and published in the Patent Office Gazette a trademark covering "Hawkeye," the name of an Iowa farm owned Ledru Willis, breeder of pure bred hogs, cattle and sheep. He is the first stockman, and probably the first farmer, Secretary Wallace says, to obtain a United States trademark for his farm. If a farmer uses his farm name and trademark as part of his selling operations the trademark protects the owner of the farm in interstate commerce. Several states have laws which authorize the registration of farm names with the state au horities, but a trademark registered by the government protects the use of the farm name outside of the state in which the farm is located Seek To Have United States Grow Fiber Flax For Its Linen. Washington. The upside down conditions of things in Russia has produced many unlooked for results, but none more unexpected to the casual mind than its effect upon the supply of flax fiber used. Before the World War, Russia produced about 80 percent of the flax fiber used in making linens. This supply was cut off, while the demand for linens continues as strong as ever. In the United States the normal consumption of the flax fiber by the spinning mills before the war was about 10,000 tons a year, most of which was imported. To produce this amount of fiber about 60,000 acres is required To help in meeting the situation the United States Department of Agriculture, through the office of the fiber investigation is encouraging the production of flax fiber by experimenting with it in new localities, investigating new methods and machines, and developing improved strains of the fiber flax which are taller, yield more and better fiber, and some of which are resistant to disease. About 6,000 acres of fiber flax was grown in the United States in 1920 but the relatively low price for fiber has resulted in a greatly reduced acreage in 1921, esimated at 3 000 acres. FORMER LIBERIAN MINISTER LEFT HEIRS $3,00000. PROPERTY IN OKLAHOMA WILL BE TURNED OVER TO HIS WIFE AND RELATIVES Diplomat Theught To Have Been Poor at Death in 1915 Found to Be Wealthy. St. Louis, Mo., Oct. 16 — Whn James Milton Turner, the first colored man to be appointed to the United States diplomatic service, died in November, 1915, his relatives believed that his estate consisted of solely a $10,000 damage suit against a railroad company. However, subsequent inves iation has disclosed that among other assets he owned leaseholds in Oklahoma oil lands, the value of which was estimated by lawyers for the estate at more than $300,000. The lawyers representing Turner's heirs, also announced that the estimate will be submitted to the Probate Court next week for final adjudication. Turner represented this county as Minister Plentipotentiary to Liberia from 1871 to 1877. Dies From Gasoline Explosion. Turner died at Ardmore, Okla. from injuries suffered in an explosion of a tank car of gasoline. His only known heirs were his widow, Mrs. Ella Brooka Turner of 4111 Papin street and two children of his brother, Mrs. Cora Gorman and Charles W. Turner. Conductor—"Ticket, please."

[Name not visible in the image] SIX NUBSES POISONED BY BOX OF CANDY Government Starts Search for Sender of Deadly Confection. Chicago, Ill., Oct. 19 —Search for the sender of a box of poisoned candy, responsible for the critical illness of six nurses in the West End Hospital, was conducted to day by postoffice inspectors. The box came through the mail and was addressed to Miss Helen Rosenfeld, a 17-year-old student nurse. It contained home-made fudge, analysis of which contained by Dr. H. D. Valin, lab ratory expert of the institution, was said to show that the supposedly deadly poison was present in all the candy. "From a patient who was an ardent admirer. This cardy was faithfully made." The girl invited six other nurses to share the candy with her and within a few minutes all became ill. Following a preliminary investigation, it was said that two brothers had been found who had each paid attention to Miss Rosanfield. The authorities said that each cimed he was engaged to the girl. Patien's who have come under the care of the girl nurse in the last few weeks will be questioed, the post office authorities said. R. Breakstone, who supervised the nurses, said that Miss Rosnfeld, was an Austrian refugee, and advanced the theory that the attempt to kill her with poison is part of an international plot to kill others who left Europe as she did. —Globe Democrat. MILLIKEN, JR., MUST PAY AUTO VICTIM $10,000 Son of Millionaire Says Three People Were Riding in Front Seat. A verdict of $19,000 damages against John T. Milliken, Jr., 4915 Lindell boulevard, was given Samuel M. Lederer 68 years old, 5394 Pershings avenue, yesterday, by a jury in Circuit Judge Davis Court for injuries suffered in an automobile accident. Lederer was struck by Milliken' autoble at Belt and Pershing avenues on May 23 1920. He testified in court that he suffered concussion of the brain and an injury to the left leg, which will necessitate the permanent use of a cane. He sued for $50,000 damages. The defendant is the son of the late John T. Milliken, millionaire chemical manufacturer. He admitted on the witness stand that there were three people riding on the front seat of the automobile when the accident occured, but declared that did not prevent him from driving carefully. He testified that he was driving about miles an hour and as he approached Belt avenue he slowed down, but the car skidded on the wet pavement and struck Lederer. Miss Vera de Jong and Raymond I. Applegate of Chicago, who were with him, he said, were riding on the front seat because it had been raining and the rear seat was wet. —Globe Democrat. JOPPA. ILL.

There is only one way to cure cartarrh deafness, and that is by a constitutional remedy. Catarrhral Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tubes When this tube inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result. Unless the inflammation can be reduced and this tube to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever. Many cases of deafness are caused by catarrh, which is an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces. Hall's Catarrh Medicine acts thru the blood on the mucous surfaces of the system.

ASK YOUR DRUGGIST MUST HAVE ADAPTIVE TASTE Veteran Traveler Declares Globe Trotter Can Not Be Over Nice in Choice of Food. One of the first things a young man who wants to see the world should learn is how to eat. Otis Warren Barrett says so, and if anyone knows he does. He has been wandering into queer parts of the world for the government for years past and he is never sick, says the Kansas City Star. "Train the palate," says Mr. Barrett. "I can live on palm oil chop in Libria or raw fish in Japan and never have a qualm. I may not prefer monkeys boiled in grease and eaten with the bare hand, but I can eat monkeys with the best of monkey eaters. The man who is particular about his chop had best stay at home." Mr. Barrett has made a success of wandering. He is one of the greatest of our agricultural experts. His latest exploit is to teach the natives of the palm countries how to make white sugar out of palm sap—which they never knew before—by which process four hundred and fifty thousand tons of the finest sugar imaginable has been added to the sugar total of the world. In all his years of wandering in swamp and jungle he has never been seriously ill, and he attributes this in part to the fact that he can live at the local table without repining. "Cassava paste isn't very good," said Mr. Barrett, reminiscently. "It doesn't taste like anything, and it is so sticky that if a man were to attempt to chew it his faws might be clamped together or perhaps his teeth might be pulled out. One just makes a little ball of it, rolls it in gravy as a "lubricant and lets it slip down." 14 NEGRO Y. M. C. A'S. FORMED IN 8 YEARS. Chicago Man Gives $25,000 to Each New Orgnization.' Chicago, Ill. Oct. 10 — Fourteen negro Y. M. C. A's have been built in as many cities during the past eight years, and efforts are being made to erect several more, L. Wilbur Messer general secretary of the Chicago Y. M. C. A., reports. Total cost has been $1,980,000. These building were put up with the help of Julius Rosenwald, $ \frac{3}{2} $ of this city. Under a standing offer of $ 25,000 toward each new one he has contributed a total of $ 350,000, and his offer has still a year and a half to run Paid-up membership in the negro associations numbers 22,000, and they reach many more, Messer said. That in Chicago, the first and largest had about 2500 men and boy members last year. It was a Rosenwald's suggestion and with his help that the plan was tried here and his gifts to other cities continues to be made thru the Chicago Y. M. C. A. George A. Arthur is in charge of the Chicago negro department. Negro management is the rule through all fourteen of these departments. Arthur had made a success in business before he resolved to pioneer in this field, and Messer reports he has conducted his department 'with success and credit, and that there is no more loyal Y. M. C. A. in Chicago.' The budget of Arrthu's department this year is $86,000 and the negroes will pay about 87 per cent of it. Adjustment of the rural negro of the South to the industrial North is a more difficult problem than that of the immigrant, according to Arthur. He adds that the colored Y. M. C. A.'s have been the chief factor in their communities in promoting this readjustment because they were the only institutions that had the necessary equipment, method's and leadership already at hand. Gangs of young negro toughs have been broken up, Arthur reports, by petting their members interested in swimming and other sports. He works largely on industrial lines, having eleven baseball teams organized this year in nearby packing houses and industrial plants. He also has formed efficiency clubs within the plants. Other negro Y. M. C. A.'s are located in New York, Brooklyn, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Columbus, St. Louis, Indianapolis, Nashville, Cincinnati, Kansas City, Baltimore, Washington and Atlanta. "Automobile" Street Car. Mechanical arrangement similar in many respects to that of an automobile is the distinguishing feature of a new form of gasoline-driven interurban car described in Popular Mechanics Magazine. Though the body, seating 35 passengers, is like that of a standard modern street car, there is a long hood extending in front, in which the 50-horsepower engine is mounted. An auto-type gear shift is provided, and a shaft transmits the power to the rear wheels. Air brakes, electric lights, and a hot water heating plant are other details of the equipment. The car makes a round trip of 40 miles in a little more than two and one-half hours, consuming about five and one-half gallons of gasoline, or one gallon to seven miles. Too Late.

PHONE 248 365 Day Road Service The Spring Thaw [National Crop Improvement Service.] The United States Department of Agriculture has for many years insisted that the farmers' problem is not so much to grow greater crops as it is to market those crops at a profit. A great deal of money is being spent upon co-operative effort and the standardization of goods. Market news has been collected and disseminated at great expense and yet, in spite of all, the direct marketing from the country has not proven to be the success hoped. One of the main reasons is that when the weather is bad and produce becomes scarce in the markets the price goes up, but the farmer has been powerless to supply this demand and when the roads again become passable other farmers were glutting those markets and in consequence, instead of reaping his reward of a good price, the same old condition becomes common and the best laid marketing plans explode. Illinois has a very generous fund with which to build roads. The highway engineers naturally The Spr [National Crop Improvement Service] There is one great subject upon which the commercial clubs in the towns and the farm bureaus in the country, may well unite. In the old-fashioned days it seemed that winter generally came to stay and we had only one spring thaw, but of recent years winter is very intermittent and we are likely to have a spring thaw every other week. Every time one of these thaws occurs, it puts business on the hummer. Farmers cannot get to town and merchants cannot send out goods on telephone orders. In the old days the farmers became reconciled to this condition and like the old man who, when asked to shovel the snow off his sidewalk, he replied: "Well, the Almighty put it there and He kin take it off again." The upheaval of frost is the concrete road's worst enemy. Both sides of the road rise with the frost in the fall and lower with the thaw in the have selected the main traveled roads for the first new construction, but the outlying roads to the farms will, unless something is done, remain in the same old disgusting condition every time it rains. No matter what a good road may cost, it will prove a good investment. The merchants in the smaller towns could well afford to build a reinforced concrete highway for ten miles out every road if they would figure the losses they now stand every time the farmers cannot come to town. In a great many parts of Illinois, especially in the soft gumbo regions and where there are numerous swamps and small lakes, it is necessary to do more than to build an ordinary concrete road. The foundation must be properly constructed, the drainage and grading done in a scientific manner and then it would seem a pity in surfacing that road, that a steel fabric reinforcement should be omitted, because with the growing use of trucks those roads will be pounded to pieces in a shorter time than is pleasant to contemplate. ing Thaw spring or what is worse, if it freezes one week and thaws the next, this motion will soon break any concrete road unless it is re-enforced with steel fabric. Steel re-enforcement unites with the concrete, the two practically expanding and contracting equally. Prof. Duffy Abrams, in charge of structural research work at Lewis institute, Chicago, claims that the older a concrete road is, the better it is, and he gives figures to substantiate his statement. The main reasons why a concrete road will break up under stress are because the foundation has not been properly laid; the sand and gravel were not properly cleaned, therefore cannot unite closely with the cement; the slab has been too thin and perhaps greater than all, the concrete was not properly re-enforced with steel. Professor Abrams says: "Concrete in roads does not deteriorate in strength with age."

A thief entered a house in Riverside Drive and stole five volumes of poetry. There's a crime that carries its own punishment.—New York Herald METROPOLIS WEEKLY GAZETTE, METROPOLIS, ILL Sisters, and I must say Brethren of the East Mt. Olive Baptist Family. As State Missionary of Women's auxiliary, I am thankful that God has spared our lives to start on another year. Let us as women do more this year for the cause of Christ, than we did last year. Sisters, do you not stop and think? Oh yes, women were the first to behold the forsaken grave as Christ arose out of the tomb. If Jesus when on earth loved Mary and Martha so tenderly and sought often peace and repose in their home enjoying daily their sympathy, love and companionship?

What causes the distinctive features of the season, especially the heavy atmosphere, is unknown, and the "age" of the term equally so.

Subscribe For Gazette Now Get the Get the Water off the Road [National Crop Improvement Service] Engineers generally classify road drainage under three heads: cross surface, longitudinal or side surface, and sub-drainage. Under present day practice, there is seldom a paved road that does not provide perfect cross drainage, at least from the center of the road to the edge of the paved way. Beyond that, perfection in drainage is a very difficult matter. The average concrete road has a perfectly shaped shoulder between the concrete and the drainage ditch and the road thus completed may be said to be in perfect condition. But ordinary roads are not wide enough for two loads of hay or for two rows of speeding vehicles to pass without the wheels on one side of each car running along the dirt shoulder which protects the motorist from going into the ditch. After every rain some of this shoulder dirt washes into the ditch. big truck plows up a ridge and the next air throws this dirt which soon chokes the channel provided for carrying off the surplus water.

Water off the Road So it may be said that unless a line of tile is laid with suitable catch basins which may be cleaned from time to time, this primitive ditching soon becomes worthless or worse. Ordinary maintenance will not save this trouble; the ruts may be filled, but in a half hour later the saine thing may happen again. Concrete is the popular road and the most serviceable, but concrete even when reinforced with steel will have to go down with the shoulder when the shoulder is undermined by water. Therefore the water must be disposed of at some distance from the road. After the drainage problem has been solved, the solidity of the road bed must be considered. Many a fine-looking road has gone to pieces because the base has not been properly settled. Above all, every stretch of concrete road should be reinforced with steel. If a road cracks and splits for lack of reinforcing, it becomes very costly to keep in repair. It will break out worse and worse day after day.
