mercantile houses, usually crowded
by bargain hunters at this time of
the year, are suffering great losses.
"0ne section alone in my depart
ment store has falling off of $4,000
daily in receipts" said the head of
the concern.
The same condition is true of near.
ly all lines of business. The theatres
are heavy losers. Even the street
railways are badly affected, the lack
of advertised attractions and general
depression causing many persons to
remain, at home.
The situation is astounding to the
public. They cannot understand how
conditions can arise which permit a
big city to be deprived Of its news
mediums. Optimists believe that the
dailies will get going again by Monday
or Wednesday, but the management
of the papers say they will not start
until plentiful supply of newsprint
paper is assured.

WITH OUR ANIMALS
"The Jelly Bean"

We publish the following article by
special request from Mr.. Ned Brad
ley, Of Rayvil,e:
The Jelly Bean is a peculiar crea-
ture, inhabitating nearly all climes of
North America where there are soda
fountains. 1t can be recognized at
a distance by its pinchback coat, its
soft hat Tapped over and pinned across
the top, its cloth-topped shoes and
its wrist watch. Some of the matured
beans sport small crops of veliur on
their upper lips, and still others carry
canes.
The Jelly Bean is strictly a twen-
tieth century animal, its origin dating
from the advent of prohibition and
other reforms. 1t is a monument to
temperance and in years to come the
"drys" can point with pride at it and
claim all the credit.
Wherever there is drug store
there you usually will find bevy of
Ielly Beans. They subsist on choco-
late milks, ice cream sodas and other
strong beverages, with an occasiona.

lenged the Mayor to mako an investisa-

II am glad the Mayor has found out
at last why he dismissed me AS Com
missioner OF Markets said Or. Day. He
now says it was because the army fcod
sale surplus was so large. but he knew
that six weeks before he dismissed me
and he approved of my action in dis
missing people he since has put back. be-
cause I objected to that surplus being
piled up with excess profit margins on
the government food.
'If he thinks | was responsible why
doesn't he have his Commissioner of Ac-
counts investigate me and show me up?
The reason is that he does not want Com
missioner J1irshfield to investigate any
one. Hirshfield had one try at that with
me and he did not get away with it, The
