There is a Commissioner representing every section of the county who looks after the interests and welfare of the people in his immediate section. In the same office may be seen four clerks busily engaged in various kinds of work. The various delegations seem to have no effect upon their labors. At the extreme end of the left wing of the Court House is located the office of the County Surveyor. Peeping through the glass door one can see three men engaged in platting and map-drawing. Their attention is not even drawn from their work by the gaze of the curious. A pace off the corridor we enter the Record room, where there is a corps of men engaged in recording deeds, mortgages and various other legal papers. Then again we see attorneys sitting at long tables investigating the records and looking up data to be used at some future time. From here we enter the Clerk's office. Everything is hustle and bustle—the Clerk at his desk in the extreme upper section of the room, while his deputies are waiting on the attorneys and others who patronize the office on legal business. "Walking around the corridor our eyes behold a great assemblage of people, and we see over the door in bold gilt letters, "State's Attorney's Office." On entering our eyes behold some of the most dejected looking creatures that inhabit the county.

S. FOOD AUTHORITIES DUKE OF RUTLAND "40 and 8" Outfit Built by Legioi*Post i i Members of the American legion post of Jacksonville, 111., have completed the construction of a repnca of a French box car and locomotive, which they will take to all state and national encampments. These box cars were ised largely during the World war and had a capacity for 40 men or 8 horses. The figures "40 and,8," painted upon »ach, gave the returned service men an idea in the formation of an auxiliary to the legion known as the "Forty and Right." The British public is being invited to buy stock in the duke of Rutland, father of Lady Diana Duff-Cooper, for the duke has now turned himself into a stock company. The reason for this maneuver is that it is cheaper to pay taxes on a big fortune when it is held by a stock company than by an individual. The company is being floated with a capital of £500,000. The duke controls the company.
