ALL CHICAGO HALLS CLOSED
MUST OBEY CITY ORDINANCES
BEFORE OPENING.
Iroquois Theater Had Many Defects
More Arrests Made-3ooo Stage Peo-
nile ldIe-Losses Are Over $4,000 a
Day-City Council Passes More
Stringent Ordinances.

Chicago, Jan. 5.-After tonight II
will. for some weeks at least, be prac-
ticallv impossible to hold pubic
meeting of any kind in Chicago out
side of churches. Building Commls-
sioner Williams has issued an order
closing all public halls, dance nails
and turnverein halls, and all similar
places of public assemblage, until in
spection has shown they are comply
ing with all provisions of the ordin-
ances. AS there are more than 5ooo
halls in Chicago, ranging in size from
those that will accommodate 50 per-
sons up to those with seeming capa-
city of 500, this order will effect prob
ably as many persons as the theater
closing order. Protests were numer-
Gus, but the building commissioner
was infexible. He said:
MANY of these halls are worse than
any theater in Chicago, Some of
them are put up with no restrictions
such as govern theaters, and many OF
them are firetraps of the worst kind

figures show this to be the coolest snap
this city has experienced since 1875.
The weather bureau thermometer reg
listers 52 dergees below, while in the
suburbs the mercury ranges from to
10 below.
The Delaware river below this city
is frozen over from shore to shore for
the first time in years, interfering
seriously with the movement of
shipping.

Will Take No Chances.

Two years ago general inspection
of halls was made, before the COM
mencement of Building Commissioner
Williams admir- istration. Notwith-
standing this, he declares he will take
no chances, and that every hall must
satisfy the requirements. The sole
exemption is in favor of private lodge
halls, which do not fall in the scope
of the order.
Mr.. Williams was notified of the
election of Joseph Downey, a promi-
nent contractor and trustee of the
board of education and excluding
commissioner, as chairman of the
joint committee, selected at Mayor
Harrison's request, by the various
architects and builders associations
to inspect all the downtown theaters.
Deputy Building Commissioner
Stanhope had another inspection of
the theater ruins today to prepare
for questions which will be asked
by the coroner and Jurors when the
inquest begins.

Local papers printed near New York
often contain items like the following;
John Smith. our popular truckman.
has abandoned his trucking business
for the sun1sper and taken his horses
10 tie Hudson road. John says there
Is twice the money to be made hauling
farmers wagons up the hill or over the
swamps" The facts are that hundreds
of farm wagons travel every night on
the road to New York. They are load
ed down with sweet corn tomatoes,
lima beans and similar perishable
goods Parts of the road are smooth
and hard. Other portions are SOFT Or
stony and steep The size of the load
is determined by the poor places in the
road, not by the firm, level tracks.
Two horses may be able to haul load
worth $50 over q smooth road, while
the same team would struggle to haul
$50 worth over the worst places. This
might not make so much difference
with crops like hay, grain and potatoes
for they can usually be held until the
roads are at their best. The green
produce cannot wait. It must be hauled
when it is ready or be wasted Thus,
even though the stretch of bad roads
covers only per cent Of the total dis
lance, the farmer must keep an extra
horse, leave part Of his load behind or
hire some one to help him over the
bad places. Dozens of men with teams
find great profit in doing the work
sometimes earning half dollar for a
few hundred feet Of hauling. We have
known farmers to ridicule the figures
given to show the cost of bad roads.
That is because they do not realize
what TIE good road would save in
horsefesh, time and breakage.-Rural
New Yorker.

have for a number Of years noted
that in the early fail arter the first
frosts the cabbage aphis rises into the
air in great numbers during the hot
sunlit hours of the day and disappears
in the air. They doubtless go to some
other plant or plants, on which they
deposit their eggs and on which they
feed during tie first part of the sum-
mer. have also repeatedly observed
that In making their appearance in a
new field of cabbage, turnips or of
other similar plant they come first In
small numbers and that their coming
is rather late in the season in Montana.
So far as Is known to me, nobody has
yet observed what the alternate food
plant of this aphis is.-R. A. Cooley.

Turnips are relished by sheep, and
many feeders prefer them for sheep

very fond Of any Of the varieties Of
Swedish turnips and also relish man

The tendency is somewhat toward
high pressure dairying in regions
where the milk market is unlimited
a pasturage scanty. Under certain
editions it may pay better to wear a
cow out quickly and buy another rath-
sr than to continue her through long

The plan is somewhat distasteful to
the old time dairyman, who likes to
see his cattle living in more natural
manner and remaining with him year
after year. But this is high pressure
