The largest crowd ever assembled on the Mercer county fair grounds enjoyed the day Friday. The ideal weather added to the pleasure of the day, and peo ple came in their autos from Gaiva and other neighboring cities and ev ery train was filled to its capacity. An excellent race program was given and the aeroplane flight was the chief feature of the afternoon. Two acci dents occurred during the races, but the aviator made a successful flight.

A display of 380 birds by Mr. Leavittj of Lewiston Is shown and H. E. j Bates of Galesburg has his choice; Buff Wyandottes, which took the first! premium at the world's fair in St.! Louis. Among the curiosities are a ' four-legged rooster and a three-leg-! ged duck. j Professor A. McPherson, a well-) known alfalfa expert, gave a talk at the fair grounds Friday on "Better Farming and Alfalfa Growing," which was of interest to many.

Judge, has said that the fair in Aledo' is the best county fair he has ever, attended, and he has visited many of i them, which is very gratifying to the i members of the Mercer County Ag-! ricultural society. This society is not i a stock company nor a corporation) and none of the members receive any! profits from the fair, but all proceeds go for the betterment of the fair the next year.

COURTEOUS ATTENTION TO ALLu 2; Set Over (Lewis Fender) 3. Time 1:52. Boxing Notes New York, Sept. 23. At a lengthy and lively session of the New York 6tate athletic commission the license of the National Sporting club, of which Tom O'Rourke is man ager, was revoked and after an ex tended hearing, Charley White, the referee, was exonerated from charges preferred against him following the recent Flynn-Morris fight in Madison Square garden. In the National Sporting club's case it was stated thal the revocation was because of a faulty lease of the building in which the club holds its bouts. The hear ing on the White charges took up the major portion of the session. White appeared in response to a summons to explain why he had not stopped the Flynn-Morris-bout after the sev enth round, when Morris, the gigan tic western heavyweight, had been well beaten. "Morris was a high strung man," said White, "and while a novice, knew a good deal more than he was given credit for. At the end of the second round, how ever, he made the amateurish mis take of blowing hi3 damaged nose In stead of inhaling and his face be came inflated. I have refereed over 7,000 fights and I had sufficient confi dence in myself to allow the bout to go to the end of the scheduled tenth round, as I knew the big fellow was IS YOUR1 APPETITE POOR? Is the tongue coated or docs your head ache? You really should try HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS t once. It does the work. not in any danger." The state box ing commissioners, both of whom were wituesses of the contest, honor ably exonerated White. The question of the validity of the lease held by the Madison Square Athletic club on the Madison Square garden, was con sidered, but no action will be taken until Monday. Commissioner Dixon said that he had received a request ' by telephone from Governor Dix's secretary to vote for revocation of the Madison Square club's license but refrained from telling how his vote would be cast.

I A Tax Exempt Stock That Pays 7 Dividends As typical of the best and most up-to-date practice in the central electrical Station industry in our larger cities, there is no investment more worthy of investigation than the stock of the Commonwealth Edison Company of Chicago. Notwithstanding its astonishingly rapid growth and its present strategic position, this Company is as yet doing only a fraction of the business that it will do in the near future. The Co-amonweaIth Edison Company is at present retailing electricity in a territory that covers 200 square miles, but that territory is only "tapped," so to speak. There is expert authority for the statement that three times the piesent volume of business should naturally come to the Company's Central Station. Yet, gigantic as is the retail business of the Commonwealth Edison Company, it forms only one-third of its total business, two-thirds of which is wholesale. It supplies electricit3' to 1250 miles of street and elevated railway track and its ser vice to smaller Central Stations extends b3 miles to the north, 55 miles to the soutt and 35 miles to the west of Chicago. A very considerable portion of the Company's wholesale business is concerned in the sale of electricity for light and power to manufacturers. In this field there is still opportunity for a vast increase of business in replacing private power plants with the more economical Central Station service. The Commonwealth Edison Company represents an investment of over $70,000,000, and is paying dividends at the rate of 7 per annum on its capital stock. The future prospects of this stock are indicated by the recent advance in the dividend rate from 0 to 7. At the present market price of about $130.00 per share, the net return to the investor is about While the stock was pay ing 6 dividends it sold at averaee prices that yielded a smaller net return. This justifies us in the belief that Commonwealth Edison stock is now a more desirabia investment than ever before. Commonwealth Edison stock is listed on the Chicago Stock Exchange. We recommend this stock as an investment of exceptionally high character, paying 7 dividends, and as leing exempt from taxation under Illinois laws.
