BIG BUSINESS

Burglars and petty thieves are
doing a thrifty business in both the
city and in the outlying districts
and the police have enough good
live sleuth work to keep them going

ports turned in this morning to the
desk officer at the station, the resi-
dence of Tom Symon, at Browne
street and 23rd avenue, was com
pletely ransacked yesterday while
the family was absent, between the
hours of 9 a. m. and 4 p. m. A
good Elgin watch, gold chain and
locket and about 81 in cash was
taken.
Another report has it that burg
lars broke into the home of w. F..
McMurry in Silver Hill addition
and carried away Mrs. McMurry's
watch, which she priced very high

FEW BERRY CROPS.
Many Districts Report Scarce and
Poor Quality Of Blue Berries.

Several of the districts in North
ern Wisconsin and Minnesota,
where heavy shipments of blue ber-
ries are usually made, have very
light crops this year. Although the
season has been open for some days
ii is reported that very few berries
are going TO the markets. There
has never been a year when the woods
have been more thoroughly searched
by pickers and in many places where
heavy crops have been found i'm the
past there is hardly berry this year.
Those who have followed the berry
picking industry for many years claim
that the production this year will be
far below that of former seasons. due
principally to the drought that has
been experienced In the northwest.
Not only will the production be small
but the quality of the berries will not
be up to the standard.
The lack of berries will be felt in
many sections where poor people look
forward To the opening of the season
