BOYS ON LONG

FROM H. Walter Franklin and John Spell will break the walking record from New York to Chicago today, unless they are hit by a railway train or captured by the Chicago- bandits before they make their destination. The walkers, one of whom. Franklin, is sixteen years old while Spell Is twenty-one arrived In Indiana Harbor last evening at 7 o'clock, and headed straight for the police station where they reported to Sergeant Billy Hughes, receiving from him credentials attesting to their presence In Indiana Harbor. The boys started on their long hike In the morning of January 6 with the Intention of reaching Chicago twentyeight days after the time of starting. The conditions of their wager permit them until this evening in which to complete the trip. At seven o'clock this morning, when they started out on the ast lap of their journey, they express ed confidence in their ability to cut off industry Is running at full capacity. with the mills sold out for months ahead and profits improving. Of the United States Steel Corpora tion listed bonds the highest yield is offered by the lllnols Steel debenture 4is, due in 1940. These bonds, selling at 89, net 5.45 per cent on the invest- ' ment if held to maturity. They are a first lien on the Illinois Steel Company's plant and are unconditionally guaranteed by the tnited States Steel Corporatlon. No mortgage may be placed on the Illinois Steel plants without equally securing the debentures. OPTIMISM APPARENT IN " AIL LMESOF TRADE Jobbers Report Good De mand; Steel Mills Are Behind in Orders. . There is not let-up in the excellent volume of trade being done by Chicago merchants, business the past week snowing a rair increase in joDDing lines over the same period last year, and all expressed an optimistic view over a continuation of the same.

Coal trade showed little lmorove - ment, prices favoring buyers, but mines'; are curtailing production to some extent, which tends to create a steadier tone. Collections were slightly above normal. TIM LANDS SOME U. S. STEEL STOCK Contmua from Pftce l. in the Gary steel mills. Being a Dart owner of the mills I am going over to see Bill Gleason about a. few jobs for some of the boys."

There is a lot of knocking about the steel trust, but is long as I've been here I've noticed' that their men have been treated wel. Jaeksil'p Spureine Courty. "Maybe, Ijll be in contepipt of court. Wrote a lelter to the chief justice of the supreme! court telling him that we wish he would hurry that Burns' ditch decision along. But he can't take offense ati t. It was a nice and friendly letter. 1 enclosed one of my business cards In the letter." Finishing his meal the Ridge road statesman left the "Y" building for Hammond, saying as hee went: "I like that town. I loaned Tony ' Tapper's Building and Loan over there $15,000 at 6 per cent. I'm going over there to show my steel stock to Murray Turner, Johnny Ftizgerald, Pete Meyn and the boys." . LAWYERS BACK OF NEW BILL fConttnued from Pare 1.1 cration by the legislature.

This is an increase of almost fifteen per cent. The increase is not to stop with the laborers, but la to be applied to eve ry department of the big plant. The exact amount of the raise In the othr deii'irtinpnts has not vet been det-ldtrd. The policy of the Inland mill has made It a popular Intsitutlon with workmen. In the frst place the mill has always been generous in the matter of salary, and it has established a leputation for generosity with its men. In the second place, it tkes care of its men a great deal better than most plants, during slack times. Its policy la to keep its men together, and the large number of its departments makes it posible for it to do so, wnere mills whose operations are not along such a variety of lines, arc less able to do this. The Inland mill is expecting tc put In extensive improvements in the immediate future. Just what the nature of these improvements is hot known, but they alone will furnish employment for a large number of men for an extended period. The work they have under contemplation is construction work. I i : i MERRILL VILLE. The farmers' Institute held last Thursday jjand Friday was well attended, many ent.
