PRICE OF COFFEE
STEADILY RISES
Increase Now About Seven Cents
Big Merchants With Heavy Supplies
Haven't Made Advance Yet.

Have you noticed any difference in
your coffee lately? II you haven't,
then possibly. you have noticed a
difference in the price you have had
to pay for your favorite brand, for
coffee is up, away up, and is still
soaring
The ascension started about six
months ago II was very gradual at
first, half-cent or a cent pound.
Now IL has mounted upward until
the advance, in some instances, has
reached cents pound.
The big, downtown retailers have
not been affected by the advance yet.
They saw IL coming and fortified
themselves against IT, I'm most in
stances, by laying in a large supply.
Later Bros. for instance, have about
a years supply on hand. Peter Smith
Sons and nearly all the other large
grocery concerns are also well fortl-
fed II is the small grocer and the
small tradesman or tradeswoman,
who makes living by selling coffee
from house to house, that are hardest
hit
The downtown grocer can continue
selling his coffee at the same old
prices and give the same quality as
formerly, with no curtailing OF the
profits. Not so with the less for
tunate small dealer, who Is compelled
TO depend on the jobbers for his sup
ply. He must boost the price TO his
customers or sell them a cheaper
grade of coffee at the price formerly
charged for the better brands, TO
come out ahead on the proposition.
The house-to-house merchants are
losing many customers as result OF
the advance in rates. Many OF
these distributors formerly made a
specially of 25-cent coffee, but to
realize the same percentage of proft
they must charge 80 and 32 cents for
IL or give their customers a much
cheaper grade. The result Is that
many people are buying their coffee
downtown.
Contrary to general belief. the tar
iff is not responsible for the increase,
for coffee is on the free list. Trust
manipulation is undoubtedly the un-
DERIVING cause, but the trust tries TO
clear its skirts by saying that the In
crease is due to a shortage or the
crop. Another reason given Is that
the government OF Brazil, where
much of the coffee comes from, has
taken control of the coffee supply or
that country, and is shipping 1t out
at prices fixed to suit itself How long
the advance will continue Is a mat
ter of conjecture, but the presump-
ton Is that the trust will continue TO
boost the price until the government
gets busy, in response to the pro-
tests of the consumers.

This study shows Us young king
whose environments in youth had
been unfavorable, in that his rather
was far from being a good man, ana
his early years were under the innu-
ence OF a grandmother who was an
idol worshipper. In the midst OF this
unfavorable setting Asa quickly de-
veloped a loyalty to God and sound
ness Of judgment beneficial to HIS
kingdom.
We have all had experience with
characters OF this kind. We have &C.
casionally seen children Of evil par
entage who seemed to see the evil OF
the parental course. and to be nau-
seated Herewith, and by this led into
right paths. II has at times appeared
as though Divine Providence occa-
sionally interposed In prenatal innu-
ences which made the child very dif-
ferent in bent OF mind from either Oh
its parents.
Asa did much to abolish idolatry in
his kingdom, and TO sway the minds
OF the people to reverence and obe'
dience OF Almighty God. In conse-
quence, he had peace for ten years.
during which time he encouraged his
people and spurred himself on to ac-
tivity In the training Of an army, and
in the completing OF fortified cities on
the extremity OF his kingdom, for pro-
lection against attacks of enemies.
Following the ten years OF peace
came Zerah, an Ethiopian prince, and
an army OF million and three hun
dred chariots of war. to attack the
kingdom OF Judah After the custom
OF the times they foraged on the coun-
try through which they passed, APP
propriating devastating, etc.
Renewed Conservation to God.
This was the very occasion for
which Asa had made preparation dur
ing his ten years Of peace. He went
forth with his army TO beat the In
vader. Nevertheless, his faith looked
up TO God for the victory. realizing
that with him was the power TO give
or to withhold victory In the battle
which followed, Asa and his army
were successful

with them. and that the continuance
of Divine blessing would depend upon

requirements of His law.
The Divine warning helped the king
and his people TO appreciate the situa-
ton and TO take firmer stand than
ever for righteousness. A second and
more thorough reformation was thus
inaugurated-no idolatry was thence
forth permitted in the kingdom under
penalty OF death. and the Lords bless

Estimates for Harbor Work
for Next Year Contains
Large Appropriation.
Appropriation for the Local Harbor
Came as Surprise to Many Who Had
Been Interested in Local Shipping
May Change Outer Breakwater.

Kenosha is to have an appropriation
Of $4,000 next year for the improve
ment of the local harbor if the esti-
mates of the engineer in charge of
! the work in this district are allowed
when congress passes the river and
harbor bill at its next session as the
annual estimates were filed with the
war department on Thursday and the
item for Kenosha is pleasant surprise
| to the people interested in the Keno
sha harbor. In fact Kenosha is given
one of the four largest appropriations
made for Wisconsin. At the last SEES
sion of congress $4,000 was appropri-
aJed for continuance Of work planned
for the Kenosha hafbor and little OR
none of this has been spent so that
the Kenosha fund has large balance
and with this balance it is thought
that it will be possible to make such
changes in the outer breakwater and
the piers as are deemed necessary to
get away from the influences of the
northeast storms For many years
engineers in charge of the work of
keeping the harbors sin this district
have planned this work for the Keno
sha harbor, but the shipping interests
of the harbor were SO small that it has
been impossible to have any great APP
preparation made at any one time.
With a number Of small appropria-
tions fund has been provided that it
is thought will be sufficient to carry
out the work as planned by. Major
Browmwell. The government officials
are still considering Kenosha more as
9 harbor of refuge than commercial
aid to Kenosha alone and for this rea-
son it is possible that the Kenosha
harbor may get many appropriations.
No work has been done in the har-
Dor outside of a little dredging in
several years and it is expected that
next year the harbor will be the scene
Of many activities Men III the city
who have taken an interest in the har-
Dor feel certain that some time it will
be vt greatest value to the industrial
and commercial life of the city and
for this reason they have steadily kept
in touch with the government engi-
neers with view of having it kept
up to a high standard.
The estimates for Wisconsin are:
Lake Superior and Mississippi river
canal, $15o,o00; Port Wing harbor,
$4,000; Ashland harbor, $4,000;
Green Bay harbor, $4,000; Kewaunee
harbor, $4,000; Two Rivers harbor,
So 500; Sheboygan harbor, $4,000;
Port Washington harbor, $4,000; Ke-
nosha harbor, $4,000. The Wisconsin
total is $249,000.

Northwestern Railway Co.
to Put on New Train for
Kenosha Opera Lovers.
SERVICE MAY Be PERMANENT
Train Will Leave Chicago at 1850 P.
M. and Make but Four Stops Be-
tween Two Catastrophe Urged to
Patronize Train.

After waiting many years Kenosha
theater- goers who are accustomed to
attend the various theaters in Chicago
are to have a theater train, as it is
announced today that the Northwest
ern Railway Company is completing
plans to put on a new train running
between Chicago and Kenosha, which
will leave Chicago at 1880 p. m. and
reach Kenosha just before l O'Clock.
The train will be one of the highest
grade tSains on the road between the
two cities and it is probable that it
will make but four stops between Chi
cago and Kenosha. As yet it is not
definitely decided that the train will
be permanent addition to the service
Of the company between Chicago and
lKenosha, but it will be on trial dur
ing the grand opera season in Chicago
and if it draws a good patronage from
the people of Kenosha it will be con-
tinued as permanent train. The ex-
act date that the train will go into
service has not been announced, but
it will probably be the first of next
week. Frank n. Truax, formerly agent
for the Chicago and Northwestern and
now traffic manager for the Simmons
Manufacturing company, has been very
active in securing the new train, and
he stated this morning that he had
been given fhe assurance of the man
ayers of the company that the train
would be put on and that it would be
a first class train in every respect.
The company plans to have the train
make stops at Highland Park, Lake
Forest, Waukegan and Kenosha. This
city will be the terminal Of the train,
but later on if there is demand for
it the train may run north as. far as
Racine The hour that has been set
for the leaving Of the train is sufi-
GENTLY late to allow Kenosha people
to attend any play produced in Chi
cago and leave a sufficient margin to
allow little after the theatre supper
The men who have worked hard to Sc
cure this concession from the company
are hopeful that with the installation
Of the train the people of the city will
arrange to give it the largest possible
patronage SO that the business will
warrant the company maintaining it
as a permanent part of the. schedule.
Of course the train will make possible
longer visits in Chicago as it will leave
over an hour later than the last train
from Chicago to Kenosha at the pres
ent time.
