The Iron Market

Matthew Addy & Co.,, Cincinnati report On the pig iron market says in part:
 Recently there has been great deal of quiet buying-in fact many, of the large consumers have been conducting regular gumshoe campaign. Orders have been placed conhdentialiy and in many cases without competition. And these orders have called for heavy tonnages- orders that have tempted sellers So, While there have not been the usual noise and fuss and feathers that attend buying movement, yet business has been placed in unusually large volume. Prices are a bit irregular because individual opinions differ regarding the future of the market But in spite of the buying that has beein going on lately it is small matter in comparison with the iron that still has to be purchased for the last half of the year. The real feature of the iron situation is the unprecedented production and the fact that consump- tion is going ahead by leaps and bounds

The Mono Rail Car

There have been some very satistac- tory demonstrations made by the mono (one raiD car' said a railroad mechanic.
 "This car promises to revolutionize transportation and freight-hauling under certain conditions. The most remarkable thing to my mind is that men can main tain a position standing on far car turning a curve at 30 miles per hour with out holding to anything. By manipulat- ing the gyroscope the fiat car can be tilted so IS to facilitate unloading heavy packages on pieces of metal.

THE PLEASURES OF FARMING.

Out to the fied at break of day the farmer skips, or, at least he may. In one big basket at his left side are thermos
 bottles long and wide. Both hot and cold band sweet and sour, he has one at least for every hour. An air cushion big on the iron seat keeps him immune from cold and heat. An umbrella. wide, both deep and long, makes of pelting sun a sarcastic song. Backward and forward, round by round he enjoys himself from sound to sound of cardinal king at mornings light to the robins chirp as he quits at night. Oh. who would not be farmer gay from almost now to the middle of May? And then. well then is the time to change and get In off from the dusty range.
