These fasteners consist of combs. one

In brackets attached TO the under

end OF the brackets are studs which

Hiuhsr Prices Probable.
he New York Commercial.

From the New York Commercial.
 Further advances In price are predicted in the machinery and supply trade as a result of continued increase in the prices of raw material especially pig iron and the wages for labor. There seems to be no prospect in sight that lower prices are to come soon for any of the staple products required In manufacturing. and the scarcity of labor In all important n- dustries is bound to continue for many months
 Many manufacturers are at the same time so rushed with orders that they are quite justified in raising prices on the ground of that fundamental principle of all business, the venerable law of supply and demand. There Is, however, no dis position to take advantage of the embar- rassment of buyers and the advances in price are only those which are made in- evitable by the increased cost in manu- facture.
 Under these conditions. foreign buyers of American manufactures need not be siIrprised to receive announcements of higher prices and 1t would seem in general way that the immediate present Is good time to buy in order to antici- nate the threatened advances

RECLAMATION WORK.
Value of Irrigation Shown In Western
 Lands.

From Sunset Magazine
 With the evil of city congestion ap- parent in the lower moral standards and a deterioration in physical and mental boise, 1t is gratifying that in the west such evil is working out US own remedy, all the more certain or cure as it proceeds along natural lines. There is no other area in the world that offers to rural homes the attrac- tions and possibilities of irrigated dis tricts of the west. The realization of the truth Is becoming more widely ap- preciated, and 1t Is now apparent that there is building up on our western shore an industrial and social condi- ton essentially different from that in the farming sections of the east, capa- be of expansion and results never be- fore attained.
 Irrigated farming, in controlling and directing natural forces, permits, un- der our climatic conditions, of the greatest variety of products. It in creases, not wastes, the fertility of the soil. It leads to intensive cultivation, to small farms and to well-settled com munities.
 The problems arising out of irri- BdIeu ldIIul1B dIo anu Cddliy compassed, but the possibilities call for technical skill and mental equip ment. second to no other profession. It offers a promising field for the am bilious. It secures an assured com potency for one years labor, with en- vironment appealing to the social de- sire and permitting of such attractive ness and harmony in rural life as sat ls.-es the artistic sense.
 The conditions are attracting and should attract the best brain and brawn of the east, as witness the pres ent population of the seven southern counties of California, estimated at 600,000, as compared with population of 35,000 in 1870, which date marks approximately the era of larger irriga- ton development. The same ratio of increase Is also observed throughout the other irrigated areas, accompanied, too, by returns justifying the rapid growth. The southern counties, with about two hundred and fifty thousand acres irrigated-the basis of principal production-are supporting a popula- tion of 600,000 people. They have an assessed valuation of nearly $5,000,000, and are marketing products from the irrigated area of more than $35 000 000 annually, or about $150 per acre per annum.
 What has been done in the southern counties Is being accomplished in the great valleys of the San Joaquin and the Sacramento.
 The great irrigation works In pro- cess of construction by the national government and the arrangement of details calculated to build up small farms is the greatest piece of progress i've and sound economic legislation of recent years. Its guarantee of pront to the farmer, of improved social con ditions and attractive homes, will stim- ulate the "back to the farm" move. ment and make for the preservation of the mental, moral and physical ex. cellence of the people,
