Notice to Farmers.

There has been lots of talk about
barrels and probably no more than
there should have been to get good
barrels and the right size barrels. In
my add sometime ago | told you, ]

Below 1 will show you what others
say about it. 1 got Mr.. Burton to
give me list of the people who OBJ
jected to my barrel and l have ship
ped them some of them and am glad
to say that everyone of them have
been highly pleased with it. l will
quote you one letter out of the large

DON'T CROWD THE LIMIT.

1t IS understood that there is to be
a per cent raise in the price of labor
OF all kinds this spring and it is a
matter of speculation on the part of
those who contemplate building as to
when this continual advance in the
@2ost of labor will stop
THE TIMES IS glad to see the work
ing man get his share of this worlds
goods and so long as he can forge
ahead without danger of reaction, we
are willing to sing more power to
him" However, there is 8 time when
for the working mans own good
halt should be called and it IS up to
the working man to decide whether
that time has been reached.
The business world is so delicately
balanced that 1t does not require much
to upset everything and cause panic
that will be disastrous oall. For this
reason the men who have been watch
ing things closely fear that If the rise
in wages continues at too rapid pace,
the employers of labor will not be able
to adjust themselves to the changed
conditions and trouble Will result.
Carpenters are now receiving fifty
cents an hour. Bricklayers are getting
from so to 70 cents an hour and day
laborers are demanding 35 to 40 cents
per hour. On top Of this there is TO be
a per cent increase and every one is
asking where the thing is going TO
stop.
Applying the situation locally, it IS
likely that a material advance in
wages will have a great deal to do with
putting the brakes on the progress
that is being made in this region.
The demand for houses in Hammond
is so great that it is believed that
5000 people could be added to the popu-
lation Of the city if there We're houses
for them. If the demand cannot be
supplied the city viii lose that much
and will be dwarfed instead OF assisted
in It's growth.
There is a limit to the cost of build
ing above which most people viii not
go and that limit is very nearly reached
as is evidenced by the fact that a great
many people are now waiting until
after labor and materials are cheaper.
1t is a question that should be care
fully considered by laboring men every
where. We are having the seven years
Of plenty and then

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, April 9.-The stock mar
ket opened feverish and irregular with
the initial sales somewhat higher than
the previous close. American SHELTERS
was the chief feature of a rather
mixed market. The same manipula-
tive tactics prevailed as those of yes
terday. Shorts We're punished I'M
mercifully. The constant rumor of
placing this stock upon a ten per cent
basis is having the desired effect of
driving in every trader who has had
the nerve to sell it short. AS usual
after the announcement of 10 per
cent basis for the stock is official, it
will have been discounted in the price
of the shares and insiders Will take adj
vantage of it to unload their long ac-
cumulations.
The strength in Shelters had a bene-
fetal influence throughout the list.
Early prices for Union Pacific, st. Paul,
Copper, Southern Pacific. Reading and
Louisville & Nashville showed gains
ranging from one to two points. On
the advance. however, bulls were met
with a liberal distribution of selling
orders which checked the advance and
brought about a reaction.
Final prices for the day showed
very little gain in any quarter with the
exception of Shelters.
In the lower priced shares Erie COM
mon and Southern Railway common
were conspicuously weak for some I'M
known reason.
1t was surmised that the selling
animated from brogerage houses close
to one Of the larger banking institu-
tions.
The market upon the whole closed
weak and erratic. professionals doing
the larger portion of the business
transacted.

WITH THE EDITORS
THE PURE FOOD PRINCIPLE

The president has made a decision
In the whisky cases under the pure
food law that is important in principle
and certainly correct The country may
have a languid interest in the specific
application. but as guide for the ad-
ministration Of the pure food law it
will give it hearty approval. The
principle IS that the pure food law was
made in the interest of the consumer
and not the manufacturer. The at
torney- general supports the president
in the decision which is guided by this
principle. The case was that of blended
versus real whisky. When the pure
food law was enacted the makers Of
blended whisky and those Of real whis-
ky, aged to get its quality, fought for
advantage in the wording of the law.
This. like many, laws. was compro-
mise and allowed the blended inter-
ests as nearly what they wanted as
congress dared. Since then the secre-
tary Of agriculture and Professor
Wiley have differed, the secretary ia
voring the blenders. Now the president
decides that the blend, which is OBJ
tanned by using cologne spirits or puri-
fed alcohol from which most of the
ding to this burnt sugar for coloring
and a little real whisky for flavor and
some bead oil, must bear a label telling
what it is and can not have a whisky"
label.
To the righteousness of the conclu-
sion there will be no dissent except
among those that have been making
money out of blend" With the prin-
cipIe there will be universal popular
agreement. This principle that the
law was made for the consumer and
not for the manufacturer strikes at the
root of most of the abuse of law in
this country. It might almost be called
a custom with us to have a law for
the general protection misused in its
administration so as to be applied for
the advantage of the very ones against
whom ostensibly the law was to pro-
tect the people. 1t was so here and
the presidents action is a popular vic
tory. It's inspiration should inform the
whole fabric of enforcement of this
law. Every label should be ordered
with this idea alone in view: The pro-
lection of the people.-Indianapo
News.

MEET AFTER YEARS
Of SEPARATION
Brother Long Believed Dead
Comes to Visit Sister
in Burnham.

There was great rejoicing in Burn
ham Saturday when Mrs. Sarah Patton
and her brother, Mr.. Dobbin, met after
a lapse of thirty eight years.
Mrs. Patton and Mr.. Dobbins are ma
tives of Ireland, where they last saw
each other just before Mr.. Dobbins
come to this country to make his home
in Canada. Mrs. Patton came to this
country Immediately after her marriage
to Mr.. Patton about 81 years ago. She
located in Valparaiso, Ind. shortly
after her arrival on this side of the At
lantic. Later she moved to Burnham.
No word had been received by either
brother or sister of the other for
good many years, until after the death
when Mrs. Patton wrote the sad news
to her brother, addressing her letter to
the last place she had known him to be,
not knowing whether he was dead or
alive. Mr.. Dobbins had left this place,
but the letter was forwarded to him
and the brother and sister took up
their correspondence where it had been
dropped long years before.
This was the beginning of better
things, and great was the JOY of all
concerned when Mr.. Dobbins came to
Burnham last Saturday to visit the
sister he had not seen for so long a
time.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, April 9.-WHEAT-Rather
a tame market after the activity dis
played yesterday Prices were reac-
tionary in tone although the trade was
so dull that the market did not move
either way very far. Traders as a
rule are in a waiting mood. The gov
eminent crop report, which Is to be
issued tomorrow, will show TO what
extent the green bugs and other in
sects have damaged the crop in the
southwest. This document is predicted
by some close observers to be more
or less bullish and will have a
strengthening effect upon prices to-
morrow. 1t may. however, show the
condition up to the 1st of April: a
great deal Of damage has been report
ed since that time. In the event of
the figures showing only up to and
including the 1st of April it will have
little or no effect. Foreign markets
were disappointingly lower. this caused
quite a little profit taking by the
longs The market closed steady with
a half cent decline for the day.
CORN-DuH, featureless market The
news was bullish enough, but it lacked
any influential buying orders to have
any effect. Prices Of corn in the sample
market were quoted one-quarter 70
one-half higher. An excellent demand
was reported for kiln dried corn, both
for domestic and export consumption

LITTLE HOPE FOR DRY SUNDAY

Several Chicago ministers from their
pulpits Sunday put it up" to Mayor
Busse to close the saloons on Sunday
and do other things along the same
line which the retiring mayor failed
to do at their request. Unless the
signs before and after election are de-
ceiving the ministers stand a poorer
show at the hands of Mayor Busse
than they had under his predecessor.
Mayor Dunno always aimed to do
right" and was nothing If not ac-
commodating. 1t was his accommodate
ing spirit that made him the most
trouble and the most enemies The
election of Mr.. Busse. although it is
expected to give the city a more prac-
teal and business like city govern
ment. must be accepted as a set back
to Sunday closing. Busse was elected
with personal liberty plank in his
platform and a personal liberty" ring
on his utterances
Personal liberty in Chicago compre-
hends the open Sunday. To a large
proportion of the voters it appeals in
no other sense. Another indication
that the ministers will preach to deaf
ears from this text is that the wards
in which saloons most abound were
materially responsible for the election
OF Mr.. Busse. Alderman Michael Ken
ma Of the first ward, who rolled up his
usual majority, is credited with turn
ing over 5000 votes to Busse and the
saloon element In the eighteenth and
twenty wards did almost as well
by him. Kenna was the saloonkeeper
singled out OF thousands by the min
isterfal associations
In the face of this it is not likely
that Chicago will be deprived of it's
Sunday grog as long as has the price.

stocks seemed to be we'll taken and at
the lower range of levels it was ex-

naturally stimulated buying somewhat.
