COKE s1s A TON IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, Sept. 1.-THE price OF coke in Chicago
has Jumped up this week to the unprecedented fig
ures Of $l2 and SO a ton. One consequence of the
advance IS that small foundries are threatened
with ruin. or. at least. with being forced to close
down until prices drop. Even at this advanced
price, however, all orders be supplied This
Is due TO the cause that explains In mart tba
jump in price, the famine that has existed for
time.
Dealers say that the railroads are diverting cars
which otherwise would be used for coal to the
meat, produce and grain traffic. which is exceed
ingly heavy and which pays better than hauling
fuel.

Obituary.
JAMES D. WHITTET.

After nearly fifty-six years of life, the
last third OF it heroic battle of sickness,
James D. ,Whittet fell asleep on Thurs
day evening, May s. Such had been the
severity of the disease that friends are
surprised, not that he is gone but that
he lived as long as he did. With forti-
tude rarely equaled and will that defied
weakness and disease, he had seen many
laid to rost who years ago had predicted
that he would go first. After the first
months of the winter had passed it be-
came the conviction of his friends that
he could never withstand this most Sc
we're and prolonged illness, and death at
last came as glad release.
With the passing of James D. Whittet
the community suffers a loss such as it
can i'll afford; for he was a man of integ
rity and stability, man who stood for
high ideals and true patriotism, who car
ried IN his heart the highest interests of
the community. Had he possessed robust
health, he was the kind of man who
would have been chosen to positions of
honor and responsibility by his fellow
citizens

Gently purchased are three that deserve
special mention. One is on Nominal
ing Systems by Ernest G. Meyer: In
this book he presents clearly the issue
! between direct primaries and conven-
| tons. 1t is an exhaustive work of nearly
| 500 pages printed on good paper with
clean type, and we'll indexed. The table
of contents reveals the character of the
! book which deals in Part [. with ''The

contains a history of primary legisla-
ton in the u. S." Part III. is an analy-
sis of the main arguments for and against
the direct primary, and Part ". dis
cusses the direct primary in it's relation
to reforms. For those who desire to be-
come familiar with this vital question,
| this book is most valuable.
Two books of interest to farmers are
EARN Poultry and principles of Agri-
culture" The former is written by Geo.
G. Watson, professor of agriculture In
| the Pennsylvania State college. Start
ing with the statement that the impor-
lance of the poultry industry is revealed
by the fact that it amounts yearly to
| S241 $780, which is considerable more
than the total value of the coal, iron and
mineral oil produced in the U. S. for the
same period, he goes on to discuss breeds,
buildings, feed, diseases, etc. A valuable
list of important poultry publications is
given in the appendix.
"Principles of Agriculture" is edited
by Ell. L. Bailey and deals with the soil,
, plants and crops, the animal and stock,
etc. 1t is handy volume for one who
desires to have an intelligent theoretical
as we'll as practical interest in agricul-
| ture.

Born in Quarry Mill Penteshire, Scot
land, on Sept %, 1916, he came to this
country in 1850 with his parents, James
and Margaret Whittet, who settled in
! the township of Sumner. Inheriting the
rigor of mind and determination of the
hardy race from which he sprung, he set
about his work in life with spirit that
assured success. He had a common
school education supplemented by sew
eral years instruction at Albion Acad-
envy, which lay the foundation for broad
intelligence and keen interest in the
affairs of the day On Sept. %, 1876 he
was married to Miss Sarah Louisa Clark,
daughter of Samuel and Ruth Clark of
Albion. Nine children were born to
them, six of whom have grown to man
hood and womanhood. In 1881 he moved
| to Edgerton where he has since engaged
in business in the lumber firm of j. D..
Whittet & Son.
Earlier in life Mr.. Whittet was an ad-
herent OF the Primitive M. e. church.
Since the organization of the Congrega-
tional church in this city he has been a
hWarm supporter of that church, and was
Railways found in his accustomed place
when illness did not prevent. For some
Eyears he had been member Of the Ma
sonic fraternity. He is survived by his
! wife, the six children, three sisters and
brother.
y Funeral services we're conducted at
the Congregational church at o'clock
Sunday afternoon, the pastor, Rev. F. L.
Moore, officiating. The Masonic frater-
nifty and the Chapter of the Eastern
Star attended in body. The church
was filled to overlooking with friends
who came to pay their tribute to the de-
parted. The floral decorations were
most profuse and beautiful. The ad
dress by the pastor was from the words
of John in Rev. 20:1, "And I saw new
heavens and new earth" Music was
furnished by male quartette. The
Masons then took charge of the service,
concluding at the grave, Mr.. Byron Long
conducting the ritual in most impress
sive manner. No more fitting tribute
could be paid Mr.. Whittet than the
words spoken by one man who said: "He
was a good man"
