WE'LL GET 1T WHERE TIKI
The people had better be get
ting their necks in order, because
a large axe is being sharpened for
said necks.
The sharpening process is go
ing on at French Lick Springs,
Ind, where number of the big
highbinders of the City Fuel and
Knickerbocker Trust companies
are gathered together.
The frame-up is that the Coal
Trust is. going to take over the
Ice Trust.
The beauty and simplicity of
this idea is beyond words. When
Summer is here and the people
don't need coal, the combination
will be able to gouge them for ice.
When Winter is with us and the
people don't need ice, the com
bination will dole out little coal
in exchange for the change of the
people.
Of course, the idea isn't ex-
actly new. Fred w. Upham,
head of the Coal Trust, has been
a director of the Ice Trust for
some time.
But by this new deal, all the
fine points are to be worked out,
and the getting of the peoples
money arranged in a more syste-
matte, busineSslike fashion.
Some boob suggested that be-
cause of the decreased cost of de
livery with such a combination,
the prices of coal and ice probably
world he. lowered

CHICKEN GOT THE AXE
An effort will be made to find
out if this gink has lived in Chi
cago long before he is sent to the
BOBBY hatch.
Undoubtedly the cost of deliv-
cry will be decreased. The coal
department of the new trust and
the ice department will be able to
use each others wagons, and
keep down the wages of their
teamsters with much more ease
than in the past. But that won't
cut prices.
The Coal Trust has 100000
preferred, 100000 common and
100000 sinking fund preferred
stock. The Ice Trust has $780,
600 preferred, 100000 COM
mon stock and two bond issues,
So, 100000 authorized but only
SIS, 100000 outstanding.
Presumably the next thing to-
be pulled off will be the combina-
ton of the Coal-Ice Trust with
Sam Insul, who owns allthe cleo
trio light and gas plants in Illi-
nois and the neighboring states.
After doing that, the combina-
ton of trusts could open an Of
fee in the loop, and put up signs
telling the people to deposit their
pay envelopes there every week,
and save the company the ex-
pense of collectors.

For our ignorance of Russian we

For it's own part the home govern

and for the temporary support of the
unemployed it expended more than
100000 annually before the end Of
the war. Afterward additional bur

the expatriated: five hundred acres Of
land to each family, building mate
rails, tools and even food. In this way

some nineteen million dollars were
