INTEREST REMARKABLE
Enterprise Bed Company's
New Invention Proves O.
Ten Time Winner.

The interest in the new tent bed
which is being manufactured by George
c. Locklin at the plant of the Enter
prise Bed company is remarkable. For
several days after the article descriptive
of the new tent appeared in the LAKE
COUNTY TIMES and one of the Chicago
papers, Mr.. Locklin's mail was filled
with inquiries regarding the new in
vention.
For quite a while the inquiries num-
bered 20 to 25 a day and in one mail
Mr.. Locklin had Is letters regarding
the new tent bed. The machinery which
will soon be ready and just as soon as
Mr.. Locklin has quantity of them on
hand he will begin an aggressive cam
paign for their sale.
One of the new uses which have been
found for the new tent is for tourists in
automobiles. One man who saw the
picture of the tent in the newspaper and
read that the tent could be folded up
so that it could be carried under the
arm wrote that this was just what he
was looking for.
AS soon as the new invention is put
on the market he wants to buy one
for use during a long tour across the
country. The bed will be incased in a
neat canvas sack and strapped on the
side of the machine.

MORE STORMS
ARE PROMISED
There is no Cessation to the
Gloomy Forecasts Pro
vided by Mr.. Hicks.
PREDICTS COLD HEAVY Rkls
Earthquakes and Volcanic Erup-
tons t. Be Part of Hicksian
Prophecy.

June is to be the month of frequent
storm periods, according to the predic-
ton Of Rev. ri R. Hicks the St Louis
weather prophet. The periods, accord
ing to Rev Mr.. Hicks, will occur from
the 4th to the 9Th, the 18th to the 14th,
the 18th to the 18th, the 22d to the oath
and the 9th of the month to July 2.
The reactionary storms of the last
May period will disappear in the east
about June l." says the Hicks prophecy,
leaving behind them two or three days
Of fair, cooler weather. BY the 4th and
9Th the barometer will be falling In the
west, with rising temperature and
growing storm clouds. During the 9Th
to 9Th these conditions will move east
ward, growing in extent and force"
Accompanying the reactionary storm
period of the 18th to the 14th says the
prophecy, earthquakes and volcanic
eruptions will occur in numerous parts
OF the earth. The June solstice, 1t is
predicted, will bring heavy local rains.
but atmospheric conditions will not
allow a general distribution of normal
rains over the country. More seismic
commissions and volcanic eruptions are
prophesied for the storm period at the
end of the month, reaching a general
crisis within three rays of June %.

London, June 2.-The problem of
Asiatic labor, which has been a source
Of great trouble recently in Canada,
Australia, South Africa and other parts
of the empire, has now been brought
closer home. At the present time there
is serious trouble in the East End of
London owing to the engagement Of
Chinese crews for British ships, and
within the last week or two desperate
riots have been prevented with the ut
most difficulty.
The difficulty has arisen over the ac-
ton of several shipping firms in en-
gaging Chinese crews, to the exclu-
sion of British and other European
sailors. some hundreds of whom have
not had a ship for months past

union has taken the matter UP and is

Cinnamon are dealt with. In the house
of commons, Mr. Havelock Wilson, one
of the labor members and himself an
officer in the seamens union. asked the
government for particulars in regard to
the recent distur bances. Mr.. Churchill
in reply said that the recent unusual in
crease in the number of Chinese sea-
men shipped in the United Kingdom
ports was receiving prompt and search
ing attention, and must be regarded as
a matter of serious concern. Any case

The object of shipowners in shipping
Chinese crews, the leaders of the un-

whose accidents are not likely to lead
to compensation claims. To this it is
added that the Chinese on an average

son of Mike Nutinf, of the firm of Harr
& Nutini of the Edelweiss buffet
Nutini, who is a native of Italy, has
been a resident of this city since it
was in its infancy. During this time
he has made several visits to his ma
tive country. but these have always
been of short duration. as he is always
eager to get back to America.
He has been the proprietor of sew
eral fruit stands, but little over a
year ago, turning these over to his
brother. Reece Nutini. he entered what
he thought more profitable business,
that of saloonkeeping.
All went well, his hopes never being
blighted, until the recent prohibition
wave struck the country. Since then
Mike has been more or less worried
over the outcome. and gets very en-
thusiastic when speaking of the fight
the saloonkeepers are being forced to
put up.
He was discussing the situation with
several men the other day when he
suddenly burst into poetry by saying:

unexpected genius and although he
