WILL RAISE RATES
ON IRON EXPORTS
Railroads Announce New
Schedule for
June l.
Commerce Commission Viii
Analyze Proposed
Move.

The export business Of the United
States in iron and steel products is
threatened with grave disaster because
OF the determination of the railroads.
just announced, to discontinue giving
especially favorable rates to the sea-
board on goods intended for export
With $4,000 600 Of annual exports to
its credit, the group OF iron and steel
manufacturers is far in the lead OF all
the exports OF manufactures from this
country. This has been made possible
In a large degree, because the railroads
IN recent years have made especially
favorable rates on goods destined for
export And this is to be stopped.
Example Showing Favoritism.
An example will indicate how great
has been the favor shown to export
goods. Taking Pittsburg, the chief iron
point, the domestic rate TO New York
has been 141a cents per 100 pounds. while
the export rate has been 91A cents on
general iron and steel articles.
Beginning June /, the export rates will
be made the same as those on domestic
business This will be a severe blow
10 the export business of the country in
these lines. Ii is difficult 10 tell how
severely it will be felt. but it is declared
Ildl Iie great growth or this export
trade has been experienced in the
years since discriminating rates were
made in favor Of the export business.
In Germany. It is pointed out. the
government, controlling the railroads
and canals on the empire. makes export
rates very low. because the Germans
are especially cultivating the export
business Germany is, indeed, the ag-
gressive competitor of the growing
American iron and steel trade. and the
spectacle OF American export rates being
advanced at this time gives great con
Germ TO exporters and manufacturers.
Complaints Not Yet Filed.
The new rates viii take effect June 1.
No complaints against them have been
filed thus far, and none is expected until
after they have been in effect long
enough to permit their effect to be
understood.
Just why the railroads should make
this move at the present time Is a
matter Of conjecture
The Interstate Commerce Commission
is not negleCtinE to note these condi-
tions, and IL is promised that they will
have attention and analysis In the next
annual report of that body. Meantime
however. the iron and steel export trade
is expected to be seriously menaced by
the advance that will become effective

With great freedom he swung into conversation by familiar abbrevia. tions, the names that decorate the society columns. At length a woman gazing pensively out at sea from the depths of shaker rocker. turned toward the young man and. bending over the arm, said:

Science and Sinqinq.

The majority of professors of sing. ing also profess a profound knowledge of the anatomy and physiology of the vocal organs, and impress their pu- pills and clients with an extensive vo- cabulary of technical terms, but we venture to say that few have ever made careful study of the organ they undertake to train. such as would be of real service to them in their in structions. A periodical examination of the pupils by a laryngologist would also undoubtedly be of great assist ance in order to determine whether the vocal organs were being develop ed naturally and without undue strain.

Where the Immiorants Go.

With regard to the distribution of newly arrived immigrants, the figures of the bureau of immigration show that of the 100000 immigrants who passed through Ellis island in 1906 about 30 per cent. were destined for New York state, and most of these for the metropolitan district: 20 per cent. for Pennsylvania. per cent each for Illinois and Massachusetts. and 5R per cent. each for New Jersey and Ohio. This would seem to indi- cate a considerable congestion. But it must be taken into consideration that the immigration statistics do not take into account the great number who stay in New York only long enough to discover where they may go, or to earn enough for their passage to agri- cultural districts. New York is the clearing house, and already there are large movements at work to draw from 1t the newly arrived labor so badly needed in the mills of the south. on the railroads of the southwest, in the wheat fields of the great plains-wher- ever there is capital and undeveloped resources.-National Magazine

Ohio Woman Regains Health by Work.
+ ing as a Blacksmith.

Mrs. William Sheffield, of Deshler,
o., claims the distinction of being
the only practical woman black
smith and woodworker in the state
of Ohio.
Any day in the week passersby
can hear the ring of the anvil as
the lady at the village smithy smites
it with might and main. She works
alongside her husband, who is one
of the best smiths in the country
round, having worked at his trade
for years, and she is said to be as
good as he.
Mrs. Sheffield was married to Mr..
Sheffield in 1896, and being sick
and lonely much Of the time, she
visited her husband in the shop,
which adjOined their home. She
helped him at little things to pass
the time away, and her health was
so much better that she kept at it
and quickly picked up the trade.
She seemed to be a natural me-
chanic, and as well as smithing
took up woodworking, turning out
wagons and whatever else came to
the shop for repair with as much
skill as ''BilI" Sheffield, known far
and wide for his skill
Beng lover of horses, she took
up the branch of hOrseshoeing, and
is now an expert at that. She can
swing a sledgehammer as well as
any man and works daily with Mr..
Sheffield at the forge.
When she began work in the
shop she was a slight woman but
now with vigorous exercise she
weighs 175 pounds. Besides work
ing in the shop long hours, she finds
time to do her homework.
She is 38 years of age. Mrs.
Sheffield believes that 90 per cent
of the ills Of woman are due to the
lack of healthy exercise. She re-
commends blacksmithing to those
who are weak and suffering from
III health.

Good Banks.

Good banks are valuable assets
for the small town. During these
days of prosperity people Of almost
every community have a surplus
amount OF money to deposit in the
bank, or to invest N a way that
will bring 3 fair margin of interest
Lately system has grown up of
doing a banking business by mail
Alleged savings banks and invest
ment companies in large cities adj;
vertise widely offering six to seven
per cent interest on deposits. Many
who have little knowledge of finan-
cial affairs make deposits in these
banks.
The Lincoln Bank at Oak Park,
ILL.,. was one of these institutions
that made great offers to the people
of agricultural districts in order to
secure deposits. More than $1,000,
600 was deposited by farmers and
others in this concern. Within a
year it was declared unsound by u.
S. authorities, the promoters of it
placed under arrest and charged
with fraud. The poor deluded de-
positors are not likely to receive
five per cent of their deposits. Re-
member that when you send your
money from your local community
it ceases to be factor in developing
home resources or in adding to the
wealth of the place.
