OF all the many celebrations Of the
13zd birthday OF our flag probably there
were none more inspiring than the pro-
grammes followed in the public schools
Of the country At our own Western High
there was a combination OF the annual
spring concert and the Flag Day cere-
monies. the latter including the touching
rite Of an oath Of allegiance 70 the stars

viewing the great flag OF great nation,

the strikers in Philadelphia showed dur

a car motored by a -scab" appeared. a
woman sprang forward and planted firm

car the American flag. and while the
thoughuess crowd cheered wildly. dared
the strike-breaker TO remove II OF run
it down.
The Herald quotes The Baltimore News
as saying, If there ever was an Occa-
sion when the flag was out OF place. THAI
vas the time. Il was used as an emblem
OF disorder and Of defiance OF the law
The flag stands for equal rights for all

for the idea that every man shall have
the right 10 work and earn his bread,
and that he shall be safe from harm

which the rioters opposed IN their as
saults on property, and on men who had
taken their place"
The woman who tried 70 male the flag

quick insight into the human heart, for
she accurately guessed that the courage

did not realize IN her zeal for q cause the
dishonor she was placing upon her own

Harvesting Machinery Manager Says rs
Very Promising.

New York City.-Edwin D. Met

manager of large firm dealing in
harvesting machinery, who is attend

Manufacturers Association at the
Waldorf. talked about the return of
prosperity.
1T seems to me now" he said. to
depend ON the harvest If it is good,
and at present there are no reasons
why it should not be, look for a
very big year in 1910. But, however
well the crops turn out, the farmers
will not be getting their money till
next spring, and so it is likely to be
next year before there is return to
the conditions which prevailed in
1906 and 1907.
cat the present moment there Is,
however, one hopeful sign. Large
buyers have arrived at the conclusion
that prices have about reached bot

large orders. Thus heard of the

Bradstreet's says:


Weather conditions continue ir-
regular but change for the better
has occurred in staple crop condi-
tons and retail business is slightly
improved, though disappointing and
showing evidences of the depression
heretofore evident. Recorder BUSH
ness from jobbers and wholesalers
has been rather quiet, but there is,
if anything, a more assured opti-
mism permeating the reports as to
the outlook for the next fail and
winter trade. Best reports as to
retail trade come from the upper
part of the great central valley and
Its tributaries.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review
of Trade says:
Almost every development except
the lengthening debate on the tariff
Is favorable and the gains made in
spite of the tariff disturbance are
q fair Indication of what may be
expected when that is out of the
way. The domestic agricultural
conditions are excellent and yet the
price Of farm products continue to
advance. The area of improvement
n iron and steel is rapidly widening,
and a notable event of the week is
the restoration of wages by the

New York City.-In an article on
the improved Industrial situation the
Wall Street Journal summarizes as
follows:
CIV. E. Corey, president of the
United States Steel Corporation, says
the corporation is operating about
seventy per cent. of normal capacity
and that indications are for con-
tifued improvement in prices as we'll
as production.
"a representative of the Standard
Oil Company says the business of the
company Is normal.
"A representative of the General
Electric Company says the corpora
ton since February has been receiving
orders at the rate of between $751;
O00. 900 and $50, 100000 year and
that orders in the current fiscal year
are likely to reach $50, 900, or
equal to the boom year.
John A. Topping, chairman of
the Republic Iron and Steel Company,
says all the blast furnace capacity
of the corporation is operating and
seventy-five per cent. of the finishing
capacity.
The equipment companies report
an improvement in business, although
orders are not coming. in as rapidly

Manufacturing War Relics.

With the approach. of the centen.
airy celebrations of the famoua
Tyrolean fight for freedom new
industry has been created at Tyrol.
Every veteran s association and rifle
club in the land is preparing some
kind of festival at which historic guns
and flags and other emblems will be
displayed. Unfortunately. these rel
les have become rather scarce in the
hundred years which have elapsed
since the war, but undaunted by this
trifling circumstance the ingenious
peasantry are setting to work to
make their own relics. In this enter
prise they have developed remarkable
ingenuity. A new flag is used for

being carefully smeared over with
grease on both sides is put up in the
garnet where the grain is stored. In
a few days the mice have made some
artistic BULLET" holesa in the flag,
which is then hung out in the garden.
The sun does the rest; and a faded
and tattered flag of really venerable
appearance is the result. The village
blacksmiths have shown no less clev-.
erness in making historic cannon, and
there's no reason to fear that the
centenary celebrations will suffer
from any lack of relics from the war.

THE DATE FOR FULL RECOVERY.
tsburg Estimate the Progress of Trade
Revival.

Pittsburg, Pa.-Opinion differs as
to when the country's business activ-
ity will be such as to pronounce it
fully recovered from the after-panic
reaction. Increased producing capac-
ity, as compared with 1907, in the
steel trade especially, naturally raises
the level on which conditions must
now be judged. A few weeks ago it
was estimated that it will be the end
of 1911 before full capacity would
be engaged. Several things have
since come IN sight to affect the pre-
diction. If good crops are harvested
this year, trade authorities now pre-
dict that the first half of 1910 will
see remarkable expansion in de-
mand for iron and steel, as compared
with the present situation, and they
believe sufficient business is at hand
to keep eighty-five to ninety per cent.
