WHY Coffee Costs More.

Within three or four years the price
of coffee has doubled, along with every
thing else. Evidence has just come to
light showing why the price of coffee
has inrceased.
The reG arkable feature OF the situ-
alton is that, for once, the increase is
not due to increased wages, which is
the stock excuse the multi-millionaire
owuers of the individual trusts hand
out every time they make up their
minds to increase their dividends at the
expense of the consumer.
Coffee has increased in price, though
production has doubled, because the
market supply has been artificially re-
stricted!

TWO or Four Kinds of Women.

Someone-probably one OF those
Frenchmen whose life job it was to
make epigrams-once said that there
are but two kinds of women: good
women and bad women. Ever since
then problem playwrights have been
putting that fiction into the mouths
of wronged husbands and building
their big scene" around it, But
don't you believe it. There are four
kinds: good women, bad women, good
bad women and bad good women And
the worst of these is the last-Amer.

Twin Assault of Bull Moos-

The vote in the city OF Hammond viii
be the largest that has ever been cast
in the history of the city. The fine fall
weather in the morning promoted ear
ly voting. which made it easier to get
out the vote in the afternoon.
The republicans were optimistic over
the prospects for electing the county
ticket. and in view of the fact that they
are doubtful of the election of Presi-
dent Taft they are in good spirits.
The tight resolves itself into a des-
perate defense of the county ticket
from the assaults of both the democrats
and the bull moosers. Both sides. with
few exceptions. have fought clean.

sore spots than in any recent election.
Congressman f. d. Crumpacker has a
hard fight on in view of the activities
Of the bull moosers and the democrats,
both of whom have attacked him, but
this morning he predicted his election
by a greatly reduced majority.
The fact that Laporte county was
taken out of the Tenth district by the
democrats at the last session OF the
legislature Is all that gives Crumpacker
a fighting chance. Peterson, with the
help of democratic organizations in
Laporte and Michigan city. carried La
porte county by coo majority at the last
election
This county has been added to the
Thirteenth district. so that it strength
ems Crumpacker by that much Then.
too, there are three counties in the dis
triet in which the bull moosers did not
put a county ticket in the field.
The republicans are confident that
they win carry most of the rest of the
county ticket In fact. the fine weather
and the large vote they considered TO
be in their favor.
The vote on the state ticket is a ques-

In Hammond there Is great activity
on the part Of the democrats. They
Communicated a large number of auto

pains to get out the vote.
The democrats have a better organf-

TWIN CITY
VOTES FAST

The voters were up betimes in Indi-
ana Harbor and East Chicago this
morning. and from most of the pre-
cincts the report was that the vote was
coming in fast No disorder was re-
ported up to noon today and the out
look seemed most hattering for the re-
publican ticket. The weather was of a
good republican brand and this fact
seemed a bit discouraging to some Of
the representatives. of other parties. If
any disbursement was needed to
complete the gloom.
Tile town outside the election are
dead IS a door nail today. Politics and
the probable outcome are the only sub
jects discussed. but there seems a dis
position to take the matter calmly all
around. There was no council meeting
last night, presumably on account Of
the interest taken in politics, most Of
the councilmen being in attendance at
the various political meetings through
out the city. or discussing the situation
with groups in the shelter Of the places
where men most do congregate. or on
the street corners.

SOUTHLAND'S HEROINE
TO PUBLISH A BOOK

Washington, Dec. 9.-Mrs. Ella New
some Trader, heroine of the Confedera-
cy, whose efforts in the civil war earn
ed for her the title of ''Dixie's Florence
Nightingale" is shortly to have pub
lished book written about her and
her work by union soldier whom she
nursed back to health after he had
been wounded in battle.
At the outbreak of the war Mrs. Ira
der, then Mrs Ella Newsome, gave
her fortune of $75, 900 to the Confedera-
cy and enlisted her five servants in the
cause. She then went in the field her
self, nursing confederates and their
wounded union prisoners. The war
left her penniless and she has since
worked in the pension office here. Her
war experience left her blind in one
eye and almost entirely deaf The
union soldier whose book she will pub
lish as soon as she saves money enough
to defray the expenses spent several
years collecting the data of her good
work among the soldiers.
