MOVE is ON FOOT
TO TRADE AT HOME
Illinois Towns Join to Keep Resi-
dents From Patronizing
Chicago.

Geneva, Ills, Dec. st has re,
mained for Geneva, the country home
of many Chicago business men, to set
up the newest argument in favor of
villagers buying Christmas gifts from
home merchants rather than from the
big Chicago stores. 1t is suggested
that Chicago purchases may stop the
building of school houses. The school
building on one side of the town has
become inadequate for the accommO-
dation of the school population, and
the merchants may be called on to vote
to raise funds for new building.
1t is claimed that the tradesmen,
seeing the town people go to Chjcag go
and come back loaded with Christmas
goods. while their own stocks remain
on their hands unnoticed, have no in
terest in voting to tax themselves for
town improvements, but are more in
clined to move out of the community.
1t is pointed out that the country mer-
chants have patronized Chicago to the
extent of buying the largest stock of
holiday goods ever seen in the town.

RAILROADS BLAME THE
DEALERS FOR COAL SHORTAGE

Railroad men vigorously disclaim
all responsibility on the part of the
roads bringing coal to the city for the
present shortage that exists here.
They insist that the fault has been
with the dealers, who have had since
last July to prepare for the emergen-
cy that cold weather was sure to
bring. Those who have places in
which to store coal have generally
neglected to lay any by, the railroad
men say.
1t is also contended in support of
the demurrage rule that this locality
has no right any more than any other
to hold cars loaded with coal on the
tracks till such time as there is a de-
mand for if. There is said to be such
Il scarcity of coal ears. even with the
demurrage rule in force, that il is inn
possible to handle all the coal that is
being mined as fast as it is brought
to the surface.
The truth of the matter appears to
be that neither the railroads nor the
dealers are wholly to blame for the
emergency. 1t appears to be directly
the result of the shortage of the coal
supply during the summer that led to
an advance in the price. The dealers
have naturally hesitated to store any
quantity of coal at the prices that
have prevailed, for there has been an
impression that the resumption of
mining operations would in time
cause drop in the rates. This fail
ed to be realized before the cold wea-
ther came. Fortunately the prospect
OF more moderate temperature and
the steps that have been taken to
remedy the shortage have caused an
easing of the situation somewhat and
probably means will now be found to
store any available surplus against
another experience like that of yes
terday.

BILLY MAYO AND TIM

Cal Harris, who has again taken up
the matter of promoting fistic carni-
walls in the tri-cities as manager of
the Triangle Athletic club which he
has organized, announces that he has
secured for the main bout in the en-
tertainment he will put on at Turner

Tim Hurley. of Susquehanna. Pa. The
men will fight 10 rounds for a decis-
ion. They will weigh about 1T5
pounds and both have been up against
the best there is. Hurley fought Jack
Root draw and Mayo has given Fitz-
simmons hard battle. Another
match that will attract great interest
will be one between Kid Rod and
Alaska Kid who fought here last win
ter. For curtain raiser Mr.. Harris
expects to secure some good local
talent.
