Is where I make another fool of myself again. I have been in the Big Fat Dinner business in Rensselaer one year the 25th day of January this year, and after invoicing and figuring over last year’s business I find that after all the economy and close attention to business of myself and wife we have come out on top to the tune of $25.00 and 75 or 16 cents. Therefore, we have concluded that that is too much money for two old people to make in one year, Now then we will give next Sunday, January 30th, one of those famous turkey dinners for the wee small sum of 25c. This will be done for the sole purpose \o bust the meat trust. D em we will show these monopolists a thing or two. Come and eat turkey with us and keep us from making too much money. Hoping to hear from you Sunday, we remain, your most expectionate Fat Dinner Man and Wife, Geo. and L. B. Fate.

John Robinson returned this afternoon from Hammond, where he has been working for several weeks. He reports the Standard Steel Car strike as rather threatening. He went over to the works a day or two ago and when he had advanced a short distance one “Hunky” advised him that he had better not go any farther if he wanted to avoid trouble and he took the fellow at his word. The wives of some of the strikers have been taking a lively interest in the matter, throwing pepper, etc., and 'several shots have been fired. One woman was killed 9 few days ago.
