A Hard Problem.

Two farmers came to a grocery TO
get some oil. One Of them had an
eight gallon and the other a nve gal
Ion can. Each one wanted just four
gallons OF oil. but the grocer's meas

know how 10 measure II out for the
farmers. Az four and four make
eight. II was easy enough to first
oil the efg'bt-gslion can, but how to
get just -four gallons OF that into the
five-gaiion can was a hard problem,
but at last, after the three men had
spent the long afternoon In trying

measures OF eight, i've and three

OUTLOOK FOR TRADE IN IRON
AND WHEAT.


Activity and strength are stiil con-
rpieuoas features OF the iron and
steel markets. Prices Of plg iron.
steel billets and of many forms of
finished iron and steel and old mater
ial have further advanced. Demand
for all products Is In excess of the
capacity OF the works. and In some
lines orders for deliveries extending
well into mex, year have been re-
corded. The situation shows remark
able strength. and there are no signs
OF an early siaekening OF the extra
ordinary activity now apparent In
every branch Of the Industry. Boots
and shoe factories are generally
crowded with orders. and the Ioeblng
trade at all important centers Is de-
eidedly active. Recent price adyan-
ees on boots and shoes are more
readily obtained. and the markets
for raw material continue very frm.
Wheat prices show net rise for
the week OF IN TO ~ cents hushel.
The advance rejects the effect OF tn
creased speculative activity, which
has been stimulated by the less fav-
crabie outlook FOR the growing crop.

magnitude forbids all efforts to deyour

delighted with its version of affairs over

This is one of the hest managed and
most prosperous investment aud loan

The investment plan assures the mem

day, which is 65 cents per month, for
100 months, natures one share of 500.
The loaning plan guarantees the re-

amount advanced to him. Both the
investing and borrowing members are

which promises and agrees to mature the
stock, making the monthly payments for
