THE GREAT BARREL BUSINESS.
The United States Use About 5000, 900
Barrels Week.

Upwards of 150,000,000 barrels and
circular packages are manufactured in
the United States annually. Few peo-
| pie, except those whose business ii is
TO know, realize the extensiveness of
the cooperage industry in this country.
The heaviest demand comes from
the cement business. The flour busi-
sugar. Containers for fence staples,
bolts, nuts. nails. and packages for
roasted coffee, spices, crockery, fruits
and vegetables follow in the order
named, while glass manufacturers, bak-
ing powder companies, liquor distillers,
and candy, tobacco and cheese packers
are big users of barrels The demand
for barrels for molasses, oil, lard and
pork is also enormous, while dry paint.
glue, snuff, oatmeal, screws, castings
and general hardwood articles annual
ly increase the demand on the cooper
age supply.
While the amount of expenditure for
barrels can be quite closely estimated
for given year, il is not possible to
say how many barrels arc in actual
use. The life of a barrel is put down
at one year by the trade, but this is far
from true. A majority of barrels are
used many times. They begin as sugar
or flour barrels and are tnen sold to
the farmer for shipping his produce to
the market. 1t may be that they are
returned to him several times, carrying
potatoes to the market on the first trip
and tobacco or lettuce on the next. each
cargo being lighter in weight than the
previous one, owing to the weakened
condition OF the barrel. Finally the
barrel may serve out its lifework az n
refuse receptacle, and in the end can
be used for fuel. Thus it may be said
that barrel fills as useful career as
almost any other manufactured arti-
Gle. and its life is much longer than a
season.
The demand for barrels is steadily
, growing. because modern machinery
has made it possible to make them for
the trade cheaper than almost any otb-
CT form of durable package. That ii
is the most convenient form of package
has long been acknowledged. The tim
ber used in tight barrels has to be Sc
lected with care. as it must not only be
watertight. but barrels FOR the oil, whis-
ky and paint trades in addition must
be capable Of resisting high internal
pressure. The lumber used for This
work must be carefully selected. that
cured by slow air drying under shelter
being the most satisfactory.

Miss Murphy was awakened by the

cred that the flames had eaten their

she CROPPED her way along the corri-

Not Averse to Taking Position
With Taft in the White
House
.IAFI's ELECTION HAS MUCH
TO Do WITH HIS POSITION

else His Successor Unless He Knew
and Understood Him as He Does
Taft.


Roosevelt may be the successor of
Senator Platt in the senate is con-
sidered by many in Washington as not
at all improbable. Those who regard
this as possible declare that they have
assurances from the president himself
that he would not be entirely averse
to the acceptance OF the senatorial
office under the conditions as they will
be after March 4. So far as is known
he had made no recent expression on
the subject, but he has said within the
past year that with Taft as president
lie would not feel the same hesitancy
about entering the senate he would
feel with some one else in the white
house with whom his relations were
not as intimate as they are with Taft.
His general attitude has been adverse
to entering the senate because he has
felt that as member of that body he
would be called upon to criticise his
successor In the presidency and this
lie would feel delicacy about doing.
He has said, however, that knowing
Taft as he does know him and agree
ing with him in all essentials as he
does, he Is confident that there would
not be any occasion for antagonism.
He has not gone to the extent at any
time of indicating that he would de-
eire the Office even with Taft as presi-
dent, but merely has said that with
lin in that position, his chief reason
for not desiring the senatorial position
would disappear.

Will Try to Raise Funds to Reorgan

Chicago, Nov 6-The stockhold-
ers of A. Booth and company have un-
dertaken to raise funds for the reor-
ganization Of the company. They
have been In conference with the cred
itors' committee Of the Chicago banks
and while definite plans have not been
reached, it is the idea this time that
the shareholders should raise throuhg
stock assessments something like
$665,000. 1t is thought that $1,000 a
share on 100000 preferred stock and
$3.50 on 100000 common, would be
sufficient.
The company's indebtedness is
roundly $5,20O,OO0 and it is proposed
at the present time to meet this by an
issue of bonds and preferred and
common stock in the new company in
addition to the assessments mention
ed.
