cold weather lasts. The fuel shortage 

 also is becoming acute with some of 

 those who do not usually employ the 

 hand-to-mouth policy. Some of the 

 growers never have much coal on hand 

 and always are in trouble as soon as 

 railroads are blockaded, but this time 

 the blockade has lasted more than two 

 weeks and gives no sign of breaking. 

 Many of the large growers have not 

 received a single car of coal in from 

 two to three weeks, although numerous 

 cars are on the road. Warmer weather 

 is predicted now by the government 

 weather bureau and is urgently needed. 



Various Notes. 



J. F. Wilcox and wife, of Council 

 Bluflfs, have been in town several days, 

 in consultation with Dr. Billings with 

 regard to the health of Mrs. Wilcox, 

 which has not been good. 



The growers at Evanston are having 

 trouble because their chimneys smoke. 

 Fines have been imposed, but suspended 

 for thirty days to give the growers a 

 chance to put in smoke consuming 

 devices. 



John Poehlmann says roses have 

 cleaned up much better than carnations 

 during the cold weather, but that the 

 continued cold means a steady loss, as 

 there is stock for considerably more 

 business than has been moving. He

looks for no real scarcity at any time 

 this season. 



J. F. Kidwell & Bro., on Wentworth 

 avenue, lost two houses of spring stock 

 by frost one night last week. 



W. P. Kyle, of Kyle & Foerster, says 

 the greatest dif&culty that has come 

 as the result of the cold weather has 

 been in getting the eastern violets 

 through safely. 



John Klehm and wife, of Arlington 

 Heights, celebrated their golden wed- 

 ding anniversary January 11. There 

 was a large gathering of friends and 

 neighbors. The couple has three sons, 

 George, Charles and Henry, all engaged 

 in pushing along the work of Klehm 's 

 Nursery. 



E. H. Hunt 's travelers, A. F. Longren 

 and Clifford Pruner, took the road Jan- 

 uary 15 for the Easter campaign. 



John Steinmetz appears to have pros- 

 pered since starting in the retail field, 

 at 1643 North Halsted street, for he has 

 just placed an order for a touring car 

 for March delivery. 



Wietor Bros, say they did not receive 

 any coal at all during the first two 

 weeks of the year, five cars arriving 

 January 15. In the interval a big 

 hole was made in the stock on hand, 

 which amounted to nearly seventy-five 

 cars. 



W. H. Hilton purposes to sell his 

 Sixty-third street store, that he has 

 run for thirteen years. He has another 

 store at Fifty-third and Jefferson and 

 is going strongly into confections and 

 catering.
