Since the removal of all govern men restrictions on the buying and felling of hogs the price has shot up with great rapidity. An increase of $1.25 a hundredweight since last Monday was registered Wednesday morning. Nineteen thousand hogs were re ceived at tht South Side market Tuesday, showing tuit a slight de crease in receipts. ' The Chicago market, which in normal times re ceives twice the amount of hogs received on the Omaha market, got but 18,000 porkers Tuesday. A break in the market and a con sequent falling off in the price of hogs in the near future is antici pated by some commission men, among them being Gene Melady. According to Mr. Melady a decrease in the price of hogs has always come at about this time of the year. This 'is caused by the farm er's desire to rid himself of all unnecessary live stock before be ginning his spring work.

Rowlands was sent to the floor in the ninth for the count of six but managed to stay through by clinching, though appearing groggy. Gibbons proved the superior throughourthe 10 rounds, being able to hit Rowlands almost at will. His infighting was effective but brought hisses from the audience.

The winner's twin sis ter, Ruth, was second and Miss Ruby Butler of Dayton, O.. third. . 1 f 3 fir hub D QDQl t x ' THE best proof of the popularity of Paige Cars is the shortage of Paige Cars. We mean that literally a shortage of New Paiges and Used Paiges. We have never had enough Paige Sixes either the New Series fivepassenger Lin wood or the New Series seven' passenger Essex to satisfy the world-wide demand. That shortage today is more acute than ever. The explanation for that lies fairly and squarely in Paige Worth. Paige Owners find that Paige Quality pays in Economy and long Service precisely as Paige Beauty Eays in Satisfaction. Low up-keep, absence of repair', ills, continuous running, are theibundation upon which Paige Supremacy has been built. The Linwood "Slx-39" 5-Passenger f.o.b.

CHALMERS 7ILL NOT CUT PRICES FOR TWO MONTHS With Shortage of 300,000 Autos to Be Produced This Year There Is No Chance for Reduction. "Regardless of what other manu facturers may be forced to do, and no matter what the trend of the automobile world this spring, the price of our cars will not be re duced one penny before June 1, 1919, if, indeed at all." said J. C. Stribs of the Western Motor Car company, local Chalmers dealer. "The automobile business is the third greatest industry in America, but unquestionably the first great est, temperamentally, in the world. America motor-car builders have created an art, as distinctive as any school, and like the artists them- V $1535 $2060 The new building will exemplify attractive beauty in every detail. Construction will begin this week. The increasing business of the -Western Motor Car company, to gether with the added popularity of the Chalmers and Peerless cars throughout the middle west, has necessitated a change of quarters. Salesroom attractively decorated with mural paintings and tiled floor, selves, are extremely temperamenta . We are easily affected by unfound ed rumors and predictions,, invaria bly doing the very opposite in regard to a motor car from that which we would consider sound business in any other matter. "For instance, in the past we have been cautioned by self-styled ex perts that the motor industry was reaching the point of saturation, and later, with the great war cloud over head, came the cry of the alarmist that the industry was about to crumble. Unfortunately, froth of these groundless beliefs gained an car before they eventually disappear ed as foolishly as their authors. "It takes but little reflection to understand why there can be no thought of a universal cut in prices for some time to come. The first reason is because it is .estimated there will be a shortage 'of 300.000 cars in the 1919 output; as quantity production is the only thing in the world that can make any merchan dise sell for less, it is easy to see why the automobile prices for the immediate future must stay up. ' Other Reasons. "The other reason embraces many obvious considerations, lake the matter of living expense; it is true that with the coming of peace food stuffs are more easily acquired, but for the immediate future, until the markets and transportation are re adjusted, there can be no relief from the conditions that existed during the war period. "Hostilities have been at an end for over three months, and yet there remains still in Europe , an Ameri can army as large as the population of Detroit. Things cannot be put in their places as easily and swiftly as they were removed. Soldiers can not be rushed from Chateau-Thierry and demobilized in San Francisco overnight; foodstuifs, although more abundant, cannot be harvested and distributed ahead of schedule; nor can automobile factories dispose of government obligations in 30 days' time." Toledo Bowlers Make New Marks in Tournament Toledo, O., March 12. The Hotel Waldorf, leader in the five-men event of the American Bowling con gress, was not disturbed by the first squad of bowlers tonight. 4 Old Dutch No. 3 of Toledo went into second place with 2,798, registering games of 940., 910 and 948.

Night Bombardment by Bolshevik Forces Proves Ineffective Archangel, March 12. The bol shevik forces adopted new tactics last night, carrying out a night bombardment of the allied positions on the railway front The enemy shelled these positions from 11 o'clock until one in the morning without doing any damage. The allied Vaga column yester day withdrew north from Vistavka t', a new position, bringing out most of their war material and destroy ing the remainder, and completely leveling the ruins of the village, which the bolsheviki artillery partly wrecked.

The jury which will hear the cases of 32 alleged meftibers of the Industrial Workers of the World on trial in federal court, here, charged with violation of the espionage act, was obtained tonight, fcleven jurymen are farmers and the twelfth a cattle raiser. George F. Vandeveer of Seattle, chief counsel for the defense, who examined the jurymen, filed three mations: First: Requiring government offi cials to turn over to him all the evidence they had collected because the evidence was seized without due process of law. This includes all data gathered in southern Kansas and Oklahoma oil fields. Second: The dismissal of the case because the facts do not con stitute a cause for action. Third: Prejudice because of ac counts in current papers which may have affected jurors' minds. Argument on these motions will be heard by Federal Judge Pollock tomorrow. Many of the witnesses who will be examined have been broughr from California where arrests of 100 I. W. W. were made at the time of a general raid on headquarters in cities in all sections of the United States, September 5, last. The 32 defendants were brought into court today as their cases were called, but were not asked to answer to the indictments. They will not be arraigned until after motions filed in the case, in cluding motions to quash the in dictments, filed by the defense, have been disposed of. - lowan Elected President of Bankers' Association Chicago, March 12.

New York, March 12. A complete tieup of New York City's subway, elevated and surface car lines, as well as paralysis of its harbor ship ping, is threatened by the strike of harbor workers which has been in progress more than a week, it was asserted today. Frank Hedley, general manager of the Interborough Rapid Transit and allied lines, declared that unless coal barges are moved at once a shut down of transportation on Manhat tan island will result. Freight is piling up at piers and the move men of trans-Atlantic and coastwise shipping has been demoralized. Appeals to Washington described the situation as "critical" and called for intervention by the commandeer ingNf the tug boats. The Wholesale Coal Dealers' association telegraphed Secretary of War Baker Yesterday, petitioning him to seize enough equipment to coal troops -ships tied up here. While these appeals were going forward the situation was further complicated by announcement by Matthew McConville, head of the Hoisting Engineers' union, that his organization would support the strikers if coal barges were manned by non-union labor. A statement by the Longshore men's association said that unless the' federal government intervenes it will be impossible to load a vessel in New York harbor. All efforts toward a settlement of the strike were suspended today pending return of James L. Hughes, federal mediator. The Boat Owners' association de clared it would not meej the strikers through their union leaders and the marine workers' affiliation flatly re fused the employers' suggestion for a joint conciliation committee to discuss grievances. A Delicate Hint. The morning milk delivered at the parsonage was certainly weak, and the head of the household con sidered it necessary to remonstrate. "Are you aware," he remarked to the milkman, "that we require this milk for the hitherto recognized purposes?" "I hope so, sir," replied the trades man. "That's all right, then," returned the parson gently; "I merely men tioned it in case you may have thought we wanted it for the font." The Argonaut. Back to Gentler Things. "Can you give me a little some thing to help me oot," said the tramp at the door. -"I'm in awful hard luck." x "Hard luck. A man like you ought to be at work not around begging from house to house." "Iwas at work ma-am. I took a job for the duration of the war, but now it's over I just naturally re turned to my old trade of begging for a living " An Artistic Car With a Warrior's Heart XQUISITELY modeled and built, a smart trav l eler of city street or country road, the Mollne 11 Knight is nevertheless a car to meet the hardest dependability, every motorist needs. The toodish Moline-Knight is built around an engine at home alike on battlefield and asphaltum drive. Canada specified a Moline-Knight sleeve valve motor for its War -Truck. British military engineers would have none but a Knight in The Tanks. Here in America, New York and Chicago motor b-.ises in motor distress called the Moline-Knight to the rescue. Noiseless, immune to carbon corrosion and pre-5gni-tion, it is the de luxe engine for the de luxe passenger car. Each is a classic, but we urge your especial considera tion of the Moline-Knight Special De Luxe, a seven pas senger luxury car for fastidious motorefs. i Our exhibit will convince you of the tash-i'.l beauty of this car. Let us take you for a rapid spin over the roughest road you may care to pick and prove what a Moline-Knight motor in a Moline-Knight car means in comfort and all-around motoring enjoyment.

Wife's Cake Substitute for Man's Rubber Heel Unison leaned back in his chair at the dinner table, held a cooky be tween the thumb and first finger of his right hand and eyed it closely. Mrs. Unison looked, but did not smile. Pinching the cake and moving it up and down as if to carefully ascer tain its weight, Umson continued his inspection. By this time Mrs. Unison was glowering. "Well," she said, "I suppose you are going to poke fun at my cook ing again." "Far from it," her husband an swered. "Then what in the world are you doing with that cooky?" "I was testing its resiliency " "Its what?" "And also making note of its com pactness and strength." "Isn't that making fun of it?" "My dear, you may have unwit tingly made a great discovery." "How's that?" "This thing may not be much of a success as a cake, but it might make a wonderful substitute for a rubber heel." Chicago News. llfd Nll Urushr.
