The newest increase in gasoline Is
going to hit several millions OF the

their rates OF about i6 cents per mile
compare favorably with the charges in

however, they are talking Of 20 or %

Miss Teannette Havelka, daughter of
J. o. Havelka, the gentleman who pur-
chased Captain George +. Mcgee prop
erty on Milton Terrace, has bought the
good will and fixtures whatever they
may be-of the holly industry as formerly
represented by Ernest Conwell. Miss
Havelka is from New York, and is now
residing on her fathers lately purchased
property.
Anent, the holly business there ap-
pears to be more of it this season than
was anticipated some time ago. The bust
ness appears to be on the increase judg-
ing from the already made wreaths that
are being brought to town and sold to
dealers. 1t is believed that to a certain
extent the holly business is monopolizing
other businesses connected with the work
of the farm.
1t is reported that the corn of some
small farmers is yet in the field, they
having abandoned it for the time to en-
gage in gathering holly and selling it or
in making it into wreaths, The result is
labor cannot be obtained for needed work
because all persons who have holly on
their land, or can get it are engaged at
that work because it pays better for the
present than any other work.
of course, most of these people are
farmers. And il does appear that the
gods have especially favored the farmers
of late Everything they have had for
sale has brought almost fabulous prices,
and the mechanic and laborer have had
to strain every nerve to purchase their
commodities. The farmers are coming
