An American reader is treated more in

schools, for example, was adorned with a
picture of the cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln was born; for the Southern trade
the label which identified the picture with
Lincoln was removed. and il was marked
"A typical log cabin In prohibition
communities, textbooks on physiology
must advocate temperance with more
false and exaggerated statements concern
ing the effect of alcohol than the liquor
interests ever told in behalf of their cause

deal with the Civil War give an account
of that contest which must make South

UNITED STATES CHEAPEST
Steel Expert Says That Quotations Are
Lower in This Country Than
Elsewhere.

New York.-Steel experts figure thai
the United States is now the cheapest
market in the world for steel rails. One
manufacturer reports that recently n
sale OF rails was made In England on y
basis of s29.+0 ton, as compared with
SIS a ton. the price that has prevailed In
this market for the past several years.
AS a result OF the advance In prices
abroad the selling price Of American
rails in foreign markets is gradually be-
ing raised. The difference in the prizes
here and in Europe has practically elm
mated foreign competition for the time
being.
The iron and steel business abroad IL
exceptionally strong in all lines, which
accounts for the action Of steel plate
manufacturers in removing rebates on
steel plates destined for Pacific coast
points.
The demand for steel rails in this
country shows no signs of abatement
Mail orders are coming in In larger VOL
ume for this time OF the year than ever
before. The railroads are laying more
rails than they figured on last year. and
this has resulted In substantial increases
