Printers universally use the expression “30” when they hand in the last bit of copy for the day’s publication. The sound of “30” is always sweet to hear after a hard day’s grind. It means the last, the tennination or the end of the efforts that must be expended in getting out an edition. So it is thusly applied to life, especially in the case of a printer who has passed to the great beyond. __ . H Congressman Peterson before leaving Washington to attend the convention which was to renominate him for congress, filed his pre-con-vention campaign expense account with the clerk o<f the House. He says lie neither spent money nor received any contributions in his effort to be renominated for re-elec-tion, and we are sure Editor Babcock realizes that he did not give out any postoffices to induce his support. . John Hack, the pioneer dredge ditcher in Lake county, who is still on the job and working on the Kankakee on ithe “Fiefleld roa ‘ ” says in all his experience he never saw the water as low on the Kandicap to theiT work. The river has some .water, but is at low water mark. It has been prophesied before now that the Kankakee farms are drying so fast that they will soon need Irrigating, which will be a great change from a few years ago, notwithstanding they may have another flood if some of ' the dykes burst this spring. The change in that territory in the past few years is as great in a way as themagie cities in the north end.—Valparaiso Messenger. - v \ t
