DEMAND BIG FOR COKE;
PRICES ARE SOARING

Contracts for furnace coke signed
at this season draw attention to the
fact that the price of coke, booming
for some time past, now is more than
double that quoted a year ago, and
that this increase is one of the main
factors in forcing upward the price
of pig-iron, with an indirect effect on
the steel market.
Pig iron has been increasing grad
ually with the coke.
Unusual demand, coupled with
certain labor shortage. are the rea-
sons assigned by iron and steel men
for the boost in coke prices. Coke
producers at present have more or
ders than they can fill, and pig iron
makers want more coke than they
can get.

GOOD RESOLUTIONS GONE WRONG.


Christmas time is comm round,
Coming with leap and bound,
Haven't got much time to save
For those presents our folks crave.
Member what said last year,
When the season of good cheer
Had reduced my good old purse
To a frazelette or worse?
Said would begin in June.
Thought it wouldn't be too soon
To begin to save my dough
For my gifts; this year you know
Somehow / forgot my pledge.
Now we are upon the edge
or another gladstone time
When the merry Christmas chime
Makes us count our cash for fair.
Soon hear sleighbells in the air,
Somehow / don't like that sound
Christmas time is comm round.
Christmas time is comm round,
Snow will soon be on the ground.
Let's see, what was / to do?
Wasn't going to smoke or chew,
Go to shows or spend a cent
For any sort of foolishment,
Had it all planned what 1 would
Save up thus by bein' good,
Knew what all my folks would get
From this Santa Claus. you bet.
Knew what I'd give Cousin Bin
And Brother Bob and Sister LII,
Uncle Hank and Ma and Dad.
Sounded splendid, for had
Ffggered on the finest things.
That the gladsome season brings,
But, somehow, the old long green's
Never got within my jeans,
Feelin' grouchy, I'll be bound

FROM THE HICKEYvILLE CLARION.
Pop" Wilson bought new set OF
cultivator teeth three weeks ago last
Wednesday. The Clarion hopes he
won't swaller these like he did his
own set at the grange picnic last
August while trying to get away with
a quarter section of Grandma Jor-
dams mince pie.
There was to be a magic lantern
show at the opry house last hight,
but the Ladies' Aid got next and put
the lid on. There is such thing as
carrying reform too far. When a
thing like the checker game in the
rear of a drug store is allowed to go
on without interference, 1t seems like
straining at camel and swallowing
gnat to stop magic lantern show.
No more wood will be received on
subscription. Along with Hubbard
squash and prize pumpkins 1t is on
the tabooed list. What the Clarion
needs now is a little Of the stuff that
talks. The amount we have now
can't even whisper as loud as a bull
frog with the tonsillitis in ten below
zero climate. Christmas is drawing
nigh and we have got to have enough
Of the tainted stuff to buy a pair Of
cotton batting whiskers and rent
string of sleighbells. If only a few
would call in and settle it would help
some. Come on, boys. Let us show
what Hickeyville can do.

ellis was in our midst Wednesday last.

Dinner Stories

CEVERAL years ago a Northern
~ Missouri farmer came to Kansas
City to spend a few days, and
registered for a room at one of the
larger hotels. When he learned the
price he was to pay for the room he
was stunned He considered it an ex-
tremely high rate, but, since he had
already registered. he decided not to
be gutter, and kept the room.
The first night. just as the farmer
had fallen asleep, the bellboy rushed
into his room, turned on the light
and exclaimed:
Get up! Better hurry. The hotel
is on f1re!"
The man raised himself on one ell
bow, scratched his head and blinked
at the boy. Finally he said:
We'll, If l get up at this time o.
night you needn't think I'm goin' to
pay you for this here bed"
During the recent financial panic.
according to a contemporary, a Ger
man farmer went to bank for some
money. He was told that the bank
was not paying out money, but was
using cashiers checks. He could not
understand this, and insisted on
money.
The officers took him in hand, one
after another. with little effect. AT
last the president tried his hand, and
after long and minute explanation,
some inkling of the situation seemed
to be dawning on the farmers mind.
Much encouraged, the president said:
You understand now how it is, don't
you. Mr.. Schmidt"
81 t'ink / do" admitted Mr..
Schmidt. "It's like dis, aindt 1t? Ven
my baby wakes up at night and wants
some milk, git him milk ticket"
There was once a prosecuting at
torney in the South who was so uni
formly successful with his cases that
he not only became the terror of
evil-doers, but an object of admira-
ton to every one, and especially to
the negroes of the city in which he
lived.
When he left public office he was
at once sought out by those charged
with crime. Much to his chaerin
the first two cases that he defended
resulted in the convictions of his
clients.
An old negro who had watched his
prosecutions In admiring wonder,
and looked on with equal wonder
now that he conducted the defense,
accosted him just after his second
defeat.
"Marse Earle" he said in awed
tones, you sho is a wonder! Nc
matter whose side you're on they
goes to the pen jes' the same.''

HUSBAND CAUSES
SOUL MATES ARREST

Frank Dolinitz of Milwaukee arrived
in Indiana Harbor night before last in
pursuit of his wife, Anna, and a man
named Gleso Malckavftch, who eloped
from the cream city a short while ago.
He found the pair enjoying all the COM
forts OF home at 3712 Cedar street in
the basement fat.
The lady greeted her husband cor
daily and asked him to remain over
night. She thought this no more than
right after he had come all the way
from Milwaukee to see her. She ex-
planned, however, that there was no
guest chamber he would have to sleer
on the floor and invited him to take
of his coat and roll 1T up for use as a
pillow.
Frank thought he was entitled tc
more than that, so he got real mad and
hiked for the police station, swearing
out a warrant for the arrest of the
couple on a statutory charge Officer
Frank Rajchinetz arrested the pair ant
they were given hearing before
Judge George Reiland yesterday. The
lady declared that Frank was a nice
man and she had no objections to him
but that really Gieso was still nicer

she wanted.

CITY MARKET
DEMANDED BY
EAST S|OERS

East siders are attempting to assert
their individuality and demand the site
for the proposed city market be chosen
from available lots on Calumet avenue
between Sibley street and the river.
Assembled last evening for the purpose
of considering street and sewer ques-
tions. the East Side Improvement asso-
citation made the city market the OBJ
ject of a thorough discussion
Knowing the Importance of an insti-
tuition that is to cater to the farmers
of the county. the east side citizens
were very serious in considering the
matter. Sectional prejudice on the east
side did not figure in the decision that
Calumet avenue was the proper Locality.
This demand may conflict with an
appropriation commended by Mayor
Smalley in his annual message to the
city council recently. The executive
stated that the property in the rear of
the city hall. which is owned by the
city, would be the advisable place for
a market.
oliver Anderson, George Thon and
Wayne Bond were appointed as COM
mitteemen to act for the association in
the matter and to recommend OBJ
tainable site in the district for consid-
GRAFTON. They will report at the meet
ing next week.
The city market, having proved sue
cessful in other Indiana cities, is want
ed by people in Hammond. In Joliet
recently a long and bitter municipal
war resulted from the presentation OF
the proposition. In Hammond no oppo-
sftion has been made although the mat
ter is receiving city-wide attention
Other improvement associations of the
city will consider the market question
at their meetings.
