AGAIN THE DRESS SUIT"

A Kansas man who has recently been appointed to a government position in Washington writes to friend in Chanute as follows:
 The boys all tell me that I shall have to buy a dress suit:' that the same is absolutely ong roggle in order to obtain the ongtray to any import ant function here in Washington. That should l appear at a presidential or other reception clad in my present style, my appearance would create as much consternation a if I had stalked in with nothing on but nightie. So far, however, l have successfully stood out, and a dress suit is not Included in the list of my possessions. You have been in and around Topeka considerably in recent years, and l assume that you have seen a dress suit, but I never did until l came to Washington last No- vember. To my mind the thing makes the ordinary fellow look like cross between pouter pigeon and <E bull frog. It may be that I shall have to hire one some time in order to pass the pearly gates of some of the pow CTS that be, but l know when I put the toggery on I shall feel like seven teen different kinds of a fool, with Shiloh and Lincoln townships to hear from"

REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Rress.

Judge not, lest ye be convicted.
 The rainbows of life are of women 8 tears.
 Husbands are the masters at home in everything but fact.
 It's almost more than most men can do not to claim the credit for fine weather.
 What makes n mother proud of her son is her conviction that some day there will be something to make her.
 Red hair is good for 50 generations.
 The best get-rich-qucl1 scheme is to marry it.
 There's nothing more expensive than having children and that's why every body does.
 The first woman man makes love to he's worried for fear she won't believe him: the next ones he's scaredsto death for fear they will. The average man is so self-satlsned about his understanding public affairs that he will decide a thing is unconstitu- tional when he has never read q line of lhe constitution.

Coming to the Front

Henry Martin, an Alabama boy" is fast coming to the front in the railroad world. He has just been promoted from the position of division superintendent on the International and Great Northern of Texas, to be superintendent in charge of transportation on the entire line and as such first lieutenant to Judge Free man. the receiver; MT. Martin is a brother of pr. Charles Martin of Wood stock, Ala, and of Robert Martin, the well-known train dispatcher, now sta- toned at Hattiesburg, Miss.
 A few years ago Henry Martin was connected with the Mobile and Ohio and resigned his position with that company to go with the International and Great Northern. The Houston Post says of him:
 'In MT. Martin Judge Freeman is of the opinion that he has one of the best railroad men in the southwest
 This is but another case of a railroad official rising on his merits In the earlier days of railroading many of the men in high position rose as the result of per sonal pull or influence. Not so now. Only competency and faithful service count.

Monopoly on the Pacific Coast

At present the Pacific Mail Steamship company, owned by the Southern Pacific railroad. has a monopoly of passengers and freight between the Pacific coast of this country and the isthmus of Panama, ard the government is doing nothing to break up this monopoly. It has even con- ceded to the Pacific Mail 70 per cent of the joint rate.
 If the Pacific Mail is to remain master of the situation it will be difficult to see how the benefits of the Panama canal will be extended to any one beyond an oc- casional tramp steamer. Secretary Dick inson is not handy at all in breaking up railroad monopoly and whenever this ad- ministration has encountered capitalistic influences it has succumbed to them, just as it has to Cannon and Aldrich in gen. sral
 Those who desire breaking up of the present monopoly on the Pacific side will do well to break up in the first place the party that discovered trusts and has been busy promoting them and getting cam paign subscriptions from them ever since. seeretary Dickinsons testimony before the Senate committee on interocesnic canals holds out small promise of any change in the existing monopoistic con- trol of transportation on the Pacific coast by the Hartman lines.

schwab's Prediction.

Charles M. Schwab. president of the Bethlehem Steel corporation, made a public statement recently in which he ventured the opinion that by the year 1920, the United States should be In position to produce close to 10000 00o tons of steel annually.
 About ten years ago." MT. Schwab said, T predicted that within the fol- lowing ten years the steel capacity of the country would show an increase of approximately 10000OO0 tons. At that time, if l remember correctly, the United States was producing about 15,000, 900 tons of steel year As the iron production of the country is now considerably more than 30,000, 900 tons a year it is evident that steel production Is considerably in excess of 25000.000 tons. In other words, the increase in steel capacity during the last ten years has been considerably more than 10.000,o00 tons.
 The amount of new steel construc- tion under way at the present time is unusually large, but considering peri ods of depression as well as periods of prosperity, the average increase in capacity for the next ten years should be at least 1,000,0 900 tons a year. III lne year lSzU, the OIlteQ states should be in a position to produce close to 40,000.000 tons of steel. The consumption of steel is growing at an enormous rate and the new steel construction under way simply means that producers are endeavoring to keep pace with the demand.
 .'There has been slight falling off in steel orders since the first of the year, but for the last week or so there has been steady improvement Jan uary and February cannot be taken as a barometer of future steel condi- tions, for the reason that there is generally a shrinkage in new business during that period.
 There is every reason to believe that March will witness the resump- tion of steel buying on a large scale. In the east business interests seem confident that the prosperity we are now enjoying will continue without in- terruption for some time to come"

Enect of Preceding on oranges

The difference in quality of frozen oranges and the unfrozen product has been explained by II. E. Shropshire, the local orange broker, whose long experi- ence in the business has made an expert out of him.
 In this connection Mr. Shropshire said When the Florida oranges freeze the cells containing the juice are ruptured. As long as the frozen orange remains on the tree it does not rot. but the ruptured cell enables the tree to absorb the juice, which il does, commencing at the stem and going to the bottom of the fruit. The frozen fruit is always lighter. The more the frozen fruit is affected by the cold the lighter it gets.
 Recently the local markets have been flooded with frozen fruit, most of which is being disposed of through the ped dlers' wagons. These oranges have been light and pthy and the effect has been to discourage the use of the Floridas At present the shipments from Florida are of unfrozen fruit, which is sweeter and better than 1t has been during the season. IL IS Tar superior to the California fruit and is selling at a much lower price.
 Tn Chicago, where the freights from Florida and California are about equal, there is to be found decided preference for the Florida fruit. The same condi- tion is to be found in Cincinnati. Louis- vile and other similarly located points.
 Grapefruit is also coming in fine shape at this time. The quality now being re- ceived is by far the best that has been received here this season.
 california suffered as much from the freeze with it's orange crop as did Flori- da, and much frozen stock has been re- ceived from there. good many of the California oranges now on the market were touched by the freeze and are there fore not as good as they should be-
