PUT ONE OVER ON LOUIE.
"Ike' Roschon Proved That a French
man Can Sting Jew-0nce.


Louie Horrawitch is one OF the most
level-headed Jews that we have ever
met and that Is saying a great deal.
He is about as keen in business deal
as a steel trap. Louie knows his
ability, however. and in an argument
with Ike Roschon recently he made
the boast that THE Frenchman never
lived who could put Il over on a Jew
in trade"
Now, Ike" Is somewhat OF Shy

then and there to catch Louie. His
opportunity came this week. A So

a refrigerator car In which some
brine had been spilled. Tho brine

ike" trumped up story about the
sugar having been shipped to some
fellow who was afraid to take IL out

administration. When Louie came In
to the Office Ike" told his story to
another party, Louie being an in
terested listener. ike" finished up
his story by saying that he had orders
TO sell the sack for 81 so and that
he would take it home only he was
afraid the food administrator would
get after him.
Louie couldn't stand the suspense
any longer He suggested that Mr.,
Roschon sell him the sugar at s1.5o.
Mr.. Roschon demurred on the ground
that he didn't think Louie ought to
take the chance. That was great bait
for Louie; he ran with It like two

Ike.

he handed Mr.. Roschon his check for

now I'll tell You Just how I'm going
to fool that food man so that you

I'm going right up to Nathan War

into 2-pound paper sacks. When the.
food man comes he'll find nothing but

Roschon saw nothing but the clock
for the hands pointed to 2:45 and he
proposed to beat It for the bank and
get Louie's check cashed before the
latter got home with the sugar. As,
soon as Louie started off with the su-
gar on his back Ike" hot-footed up
the back way to the bank, got his
cash and then sauntered down past

passed the place he saw Louie busily

this deep cut the miners are making

The cause Of the cut in Iron coun-

fered at a price below the established
base. The Guyana range properties
are in the main independent ones

by Duluth interests. They want I,

In Line with Govt. Policy.

The record is merely in line with
the governments speeding up poll
cy in all branches Of commerce and
industry, the ore being particularly
important in its relation to the exten-
sive use of iron and steel products in
the war. The showing Is considered
all the more remarkable in that 1t was

BIGGER Than 1917
FIGURES SHOW THAT MORE ORE IS
HANDLED WITH LESS BOATS
IRON co. ORE PRICE CUT
Claims Are Made of a Cut of rs
Cents Per Ton to EquaIize With
Guyana Range Ores

The ore movement to June / shows
a remarkable increase over that OF
last year. Notwithstanding that the
opening of the season was consider
ably delayed, and the lake fleets had
been depleted by large number OF
boats taken to the Atlantic port, the
record of ore shipments compiled on
June 1 show that over two million
more tons Of ore have been sent to
lower lake docks than were sent there
to the same date in 1917.
The bulk of the ore comes from the
Mesabi range where extraordinarily
brisk progress is being made in the
handling Of ore this year.
