SUCCESSFUL SALE
FOR CHURCH FUNDS
•j
1 Many people were Able yesterday
’ afternoon and last night to purchase
1 Christmas presents from the Stile at
the Presbyterian Church, lower rooms.
in the afternoon the sale resembled
a "football rush” so fast and furious
was the demand for articles forChrist
jtnas gifts. The fancy table took in
over $72, which is considered excel
lent .owing to the short preparation
of less thftn two weeks.
Ice credm, cake and candy, found
ready sale, and the sandwiches and
coffe went like the proverbial "hot
cakes.” The receipts netted last
night over $lO4 and the promoters of
the sale, including Mrs. Langiield,
chairman; Mrs. Kutsch. Mrs. Sterl
ing, Mrs. Heintz. Mrs. Gardiner, Mrs.
Rawlings and Mrs. Rogers, are to be
congratulated on the success of the

BLOWS WANTED
SI 5 CLOCK; COUNCIL !
VOTED THEM ALARM
Timely TaL- Told Of Tic’ er That
Furnished Comedy At
Recent Meeting
SO THEY FURNISH OWN
This is the tale of a clock.
“Say," a citizen remarked to one'
of tiie city’s 1 lmciuPs a couple of
days ago, "I see the City Council made
provision fir a new clock for the!
police station Monday mill!; have yo i ,
got it yet. N-a-w. ain’t get no clock;
don't, want no clock, replied the
’ Copper."
Then today, t hief of Police Ol cry
was called over ihe phono at the
police station, and here is a par: of
i the conversation that ensued. Good
morning. Chief* how are you this
morning?" His culler was a repre- i
sentative of the Capital. "Oh, fine,”
was the reply.
"Weil, what's going on in tlie news
lino today, anything?" the caller
I asked. “Nothing,” came the answer.
"Didn’t ‘slips-up or down’ on the icy
pavement. “No indeed," he said; "was
too careful."
‘ Oh. by the way,” said the inquirer,
"how about your new clock? ! mean
the one the City Council voted for
von. A-r-r-r . we have a clock,” the
Chief of the peace guardians replied
and the city didn't buy it either; the
old one wore iiself out and finally
turned up it.'- toe ■ laughter. “Vos.
10. . ren't you going to go; a new one
oat of the b an; appropriated ly the
idy? couiinrej the rows gather or. Oh
.-hacks, tiie Chief added, what's a dol
lar-and-seveniy-iive-ceni clock, <my / -
vvav. “We’ve got all tiie cloak wo
want now, the chief resumed; Patrol
man Fine 1 rottgiu n • one down here.;
and it's mi alarm dock, somethin
like flic old one. and ii will do.” And
aft r Hiis much had Icon said, ilu
chief, in closing the conversation add
r "No. there's 'mulling doing’ so fur
in JLe ne*vs tine today, but will le'
you know.” , [
The al ov< narra.ivi '..as prompt e*
1 y the action of the Mayor and City
Council, when, in course of the rim-,
t tie of monthly proceedings of the,
city's executive body. Mayor Levq of
fered an order, ly request, appropriat
ing sls for the purchase of a clock
for the use of the police station, since
the old one "aln - : what she used to
be.” j
As soon as the reading of the order
had been completed by acting city
clerk George F. Cuaid, the members'
of the Council looked at one another,
smiling, inquiringly. It seemed as
though the Council had ’cooped"
something up at the expense of the
“sleuths." In the midst of it all.
Mayor Levy made it plain when he
stated laughingly that the order was
presented by him by request, and the
matter was for consideration of his
colleagues.
Alderman Parkinson, was quickly
on his feet—“ Mr. Mayor, what does
the police station want with a clock
as expensive, as sls, anyway; I move
that the appropriation be reduced to
$10.” And there followed a comedy ‘
of discussion among the several City
Fathers along the line of retrench
ment of expenses, and this was re
garded as an extravagant item under
the circumstances. Several substitute
motions were made to tiie original
order, that by Alderman Smith fur
nishing the keynote to the $1.75 ap
propriation that finally went through.
Mr. Smith argued that a “Big Ben”
alarm clock would cer{ainly answer
the needs of the police station. Al
derman John A. Russell, however,
topped this off when he moved, as a
substitute for all motions, that
the amount of the proposed appro
priation be reduced to $1.75. “Mr.
Mayor,” he said, **we can buy a Lord
Baltimore alarm clock for that
amount; this clock is as good as any
on the market and it has an alarm!

The distribution of the 1,250,000
pounds <f Michigan beet sugar which is
being dealt out from the various rail
road warehouses jn Baltimore will re
sult in sugar being on the retail mar
ket in a fairly plentiful supply at 1.
cents a pound by tomorrow morning
The retailers* supply, according to
Walter J itienomann, executive set ro
tary to Fair Price Commissioner Wil
liam H. Killian, will last, little longer
thin three or four days, and during
that time grocers are running a t han.a
of being prosecuted if they chargt
more than the 13 cents fixed by tin
commissioner.
“Sugar is being laid down.'' said Mr
Bieneman yesterday afternoon, “at
$11.35 per 100 pounds to the whole
saler. That gives them a profit of *ls
cents per 100 pounds by selling it to
the retailers i 12 cents a jKnind and a
retailer a profit of 1 cent a pound t>\
selling it at 13 cents to the public. I
suggest that grocers put signs to that
effect in their stores and would advise
them not to attempt to sell it any
higher.”
The allotments for the sugars arc
prepared by the Sugar Equaliz uI ii
Board in New York There is no
presentative of that hoard in this vi
ciuity. The Fair Price Commi- ion
informed of sugar movements, but it
has nothing to do with sugar distrilm
