Rate of Production.

1T is hardly to be expected that
the rate of iron production which has
prevailed during the last 40 years
will continue for the next 10, but If
it did so continue it would, as shown
in recent paper by Professor Porter
of the University of Cincinnati, carry
pig-iron production in 1920 to $4,000
900 tons. 1t is, however, entirely
within reason to estimate that iron
production will double by 1920, and
give us at that time between 50,000,-
900 and 60.000,000 tons which would
mean practical doubling of the en-
tire iron, coke and steel industries of
the country. AS other industrial ac-
tivities in the long run keep pace with
iron and Steel this would mean that
the general traffic of the country In
10 years will double, unless so hamp-
cred by railroad facilities as to make
this impossible. The problem of the
day, therefore, is to make a POSSIBLE
ity the finding of the $10,000,00O, 900
needed for railroad expansion during
the next 10 years"

SOCIETY WOMEN'S HAIR
A Simple Treatment That Will Max;
1t Truly Fascinating. Hays &
Field Guarantee It.

Nowadays every up-todate woman
has radiant hair.
What a foolish creature woman
would be If she lost the opportunity
to add to her attractions.
Yet in America today there are
hundreds of thousands of women with
harsh, faded characterless hair who
do not make any attempt to improve
it.
In Paris most women have beautiful
hair, and in America all women who
use Partisan Sage have lustrous and
luxuriant hair.
And any women readers Of the
News can have attractive and lustrous
hair in a few days time by using
this great hair rejuvenator, Partisan
Sage.
Hays & Field sells large bottle
for so cents and they guarantee 1t
to Danish dandruff, stop falling hair
and itching scalp in two weeks or

Partisan Sage is an ideal hair tonic.

Marvellous EXPANSION.

"ln connection with this marvellous
expansion in iron and steel, it is evil
dent that the great steel operators
are endeavoring to safeguard the fu-
ture by the purchase or control by
lease of the sources of ore supplies.
The announcement that the Bethlc-
hom Steel Corporation has secured
one of the large ore properties of
Northern New York follows very
quickly after the report that it has
arranged for heavy vestments in
Texas, where, according to reports
made by the Santa Fe Railroad to
the State Railroad Commission, con-
tracts have been made for opening UP
ore properties with a view to furnish
ing the Bethlehem people 100000
tons of Texas ore a year.
similar efforts are being made IN
many directions as to coxing coal
properties, as well as ore properties,
showing that the far-seeing men of
today are recognizing the tremende
Gus future through the ownership of
the raw materials for iron and steel
making.

Estimatated That Billion Dollars

ed to Prevent Congestion.

NEW YORK. October 15.-The Wall
Street Summary says
Richard II. Edmonds, editor of the
Manufacturers Record of Baltimore,
while in New York ye7terday, in an
interview with reporter of the New
York News Bureau, said:
Though general business through
out the country has not yet joined
fully in the remarkable activity pre-
vailing in iron and steel, railroads
are already becoming congested with
traffic and many complaints of care
ity of cars are heard in Alabama and
West Virginia and other iron and
coal centers.
I'VE are now producing iron at the
rate of nearly 30,000000 tons a year.
or over 100000 tons above the rec
ord output of 1907. If other indus
tries were as active as iron and steel
(and they must inevitably become
sol, railroads would be as much over
whelmed with business as they were
when the railroad system of the coun-
try practically collapsed in the sum-
mer and fall of 1907. Moreover, the
really marvellous activity in iron and
steel is as yet without the benefit of
heavy railroad purchase of material.
When railroad buying attains the
heavy tolls which their necessities
will force in the near future, the dan
ger to the country will be a scramble
for iron and steel products, with the
of runaway market.

JACKSON, October 15.-Because
Mrs. Robert H. Johnson is sick ami
unable to atteno court, the case
against her husband, prominent
Clinton merchant, has been continued
until the next term of circuit court
here.
Johnson is charged with aiding in
the concealment last fall of William
Sorsby, following the killing by Sors-
by of Postoffice Inspector Chas. Fitz-
gerald by shooting him on the steps
of the depot at Clinton as the in.
spector was boarding a train bound
for Jackson, where he lived, after the
discovery by Fitzgerald of certain
shortages in Sorsby's accounts as as
sistant postmaster at Clinton.
Sorsby was finally captured after
three months in the attic of John
ston's house, and Mrs. Johnston's test
imony in defense of her husband is
regarded as, important because it is
said she will testify that she alone
is responsible for the concealment,
and that her husband knew nothing
about it. The grand jury, however,
failed to indict her, as well as two
other men similarly charged. John

Speculative Danger.

There is possibly as much dam
ger in a speculative iron market as in
a wild stock speculation. If prices
go too high consumption is checked,
but while consumption is absorbing
such vast amount of iron as at pres
ent, the iron trade must of necessity
be crowded at high pressure. What
will happen when all business revives
it is hard to say, but it is quite GER
tain that the outlook indicates a very
great expansion in every leading in
dustry to keep in touch with the re-
markable expansion of iron and steel
The railroads seem to be at last wax
ing up to the situation, but they have
been so slow in doing this that traffic
Is already growing far more rapidly
