Following the plan of America and Germany in the exchange of in- tellectual ideas according to a defin- ite system, educators are considering the establishment of cooperation between the universities of this country and those of South America. A close acquaintance between the people of North and South America is desirable for many reasons. Per haps the best way to secure valuable results is through cultivation along regular educational lines. The time seems suspicious. It has been shown frequently that German influence now dominates the intellectual cir cles of several important South American states. At the same time it appears that American teachers are wanted there. By cooperation with the educated classes 1t is be- lieved that the German influence can at least be restricted and that of the United States elevated in the same field. The scheme for intellectual cooperation includes the exchange of university publications and a sci entific bureau for the exchange of data and for simultaneous invnstiga- tion on topics of interest to the sci- entists of all countries. The univer- sity systems of the different coun- tries will also be compared. Not the least useful feature of the co-opera- tive work will be the exchange of material pertaining to the develop ment of political institutions. IL must be plain to the most Ob.use what reinforcement our general in- fiuence in South America would re- ceiye from the successful execution of the plan proposed. Community Of commercial interests and a re- semblance in the form of govern ment will do much. But these are influences that work from withou; and have to pierce the crust to get within. Sowing ideas in the schools is 10 generate an influence that works from within outward and easl- ly leavens the lump.

The question of few years ago. Where is all the iron going?" has given way to one far less comfort ing, Where will the demand come from?" There is great uncertainty, says the Iron Trade Review, among the buyers of steel bars as to the stability of present prices both as to the raw material and to the manufactured product. Manufac- turers say that when they open their doors for production it must be to a demand for lowered prices, and that will mean loss if the cost of production cannot be lowered. Un less the price of steel goes lower the cost of production cannot be reduc- ed if labor will not submit to a re- duction of wages. The effect of the reduction on steel is thus discussed by the Review: Although the re- cent price reductions in iron and StCCI picuutts nave lCicdoCu toESiu- erable tonnage which had been sus- pended in anticipation of such a development, it is clear that the re- suits so far apparent have not full filled the expectations of the most sanguine. If the immediate pur- pose that dictated the price changes was to stimulate a full confidence among buyers as to the future, 1t would appear from present evidences that the effort has not yet been pro- ductive of the desired results. The trade generally is still obligating it. self to take only that tonnage for which it has actual need. so far as orders for its products go, and quick shipment instructions continue very familiar expressions to the mills. ' Response to the cut came principal ly from implement manufacturers, who buy steel bars and who usually buy at this season of the year. Other factories working in steel may feel indications of returning trade which are not on the surface at present and begin to contract more actively for their raw material.

giving a greater yield of crops it can at least be made to yield valu- able timber by planting several rows of trees instead of single row. The kind of trees to be planted depends largely upon the climate and the soil. Spruce and poplar have a wide range and are rapid growers. These trees are much sought after by wood pulp manufacturers. Pop lars as small as three inches in dia- meter are used in the manufacture of paper. White pine and chestnut also grow rapidly, and the timber of these trees is much sought after, and young timber finds ready sale if the owner cannot wait for it to grow to great size.

The August American Boy.

Unalloyed enjoyment of the waters refreshing coolness is shown on the face of the boy looking out from the front cover of the August American Boy, and the contents of the magazine just fits in with the vacation season. The fine serials of Houston, Tomlin- son and Optic, with Weir's story of his experiences Under the Great White Canvas continue with increasing in- terest. Of the many splendid short stories in this issue. there are: In the Hands of the Enemy. telling of the manly courage of a boy during the trying times of the civil war; The Traitor of Camp Bennett. a fine story of boys camping out and how a tral- tor was dslt with: A boy and Bear tells humorously of boy who was anxious to meet a bear and what he did when Mr Bruin confronted him: In Quest of Sea-0tter Is a vivid ac- count of the dangers encountered by two boys in a boat while trying to kill a sea-Otter: History Written In Bark will appeal to the boys who love to carve their names on the bark of trees: Ny Friends Stiff Shoulder is a stirring story of hunting tigers in India; The Runabout Trio at the Chicago convention gives most in- teresting account of what three boys saw and heard while attending the National Republican Convention at Chicago. Then there are How to FIoat. Trapping Hints for Boys. Opening of the Oyster Season.

MELBORNE NEWS.

With much regret we chronicle the
death of little Robert LAME, son OF
Mr.. r. B. Ray, which sad event oc-
Cured at the home of Mrs. Jessie
Youngers, near Melborne, on the
morning of the 7th inst. Little Rob
ert was nine months and % days old.
/ having been born on the 18th day of
/ April, 1907. The little fellow had
1 been sick for several weeks past, and
his death was not unexpected. Mr..
| Ray has the heartfelt sympathy of a
/ large circle of friends in this, his sad
hour of bereavement. AS will be re-
mem bered, his wife was laid to rest
last April when his baby was only
seven days old. After the death of
his wife, who was a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs w. L. McReynolds of Mel
borne, his sister, Mrs. Jessie Young
er. took the little fellow to raise and
was mother to it until it died. All
was done for the little fellows relief
that human aid could accomplish,
but to no avail. He quietly crossed
the cold river of death and no doubt
has been reunited with its mother on
the other ana better shore, where
there is no sickness, rain, heartaches,
or death. The interment took place
at Ebenezer cemetery on the 9TH inst.
at 4 p. M, in the presence Of a large
circle Of sorrowing friends and rela-
tives who had gathered to pay their
7z-+ -,4 ,-o-vro+r 70 Tho 5aooosa5 fo
all of whom the writer extends con
dolence. May they ever follow in
the footsteps of the meek and lowly
Jesus and finally be reunited with
their missing loved ones in that land
of pure delight where the day eX-
cludes the night. Many neighbors
and friends were very kind to Mrs.
Younger and Mr.. Ray during the ill
ness of his darling babe, for which
they are very grateful and request
the writer to express their deep graft
tude.
Mr.. Jeptha Seay, a highly respected
citizen and very efficient letter car
rier on route l from Melborne, was
in Vernon on business last Thursday.
Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. c. Rector of Mel
borne were Columbus visitors last
week
Mrs. J. NJ. Lavender is on the sick
list at her home in Sunnyside, and
we hope for her a speedy recovery.
We learn with much regret that
our friend. DR.. B. E. Turner of Sun
nyside is still quite sick and hope
that be may soon be restored to his
