expected to finance the present har

'able market, and that Is what the
coffee men must have if they aro
to keep going.
f Prices In most of the big foreign
markets, the coffee men tell you,
are below tbe actual cost of produc
tion and markets are gluted at even
these prices.
However, the Paullitas aren't los
ing a lot of sleep. ' They have pulled
out 'of worse scrapes than this, they
remark with a smile, and things will
break their way sure Inside of the
next six months.
The whole coffee situation Is
much the same as the sugar crisis in
Cuba. During the war evervbodv
wanted coffee and price was no ob
ject. Faiendas doubled the num
ber of their trees, prices soared and
everybody had money to burn. Like
tho Cubans, some of tho Brazilian
Fazendelros burned It and these are
the people who are suffering most
now.

Fire Whistle
Ashland and residents have a
strong desire to sleep, that Is, nt
the appointed hours deemed sac
red for that purpose. Further
more, they are very much awake
during the day and do not care
to be constantly railed upon to
decide whether the fir.) station
whlstel is serious or merely
"blowing." That Is the sub
stance and purport of a petition
recently signed by 2o Ashland resi
dents and read before the city
council recently with the conclud
ing plea that tho alleged nuisance
be abolished.
Investigation brought forth the
following fact The electric
current which gives the "glow" to
the tire whistle is supplied by
the Western I'alou Telegraph
company. The company supplies
the current by means of two dy
namos, used alternately because
Of the excessive' heat attained by
the exclusive use of one. In some
