The Iron Market


 The pig iron market has not yet be- gun to take on an air of briskness, which is hoped for little later. First half delivery iron Is quoted at $11 and secon half at $11 to $11.50. Rogers. Brown & Co.'S Cincinnati report says:
 "Dullness is still a prominent fea- ture of the pig iron situation. The most promising item for record is the re- striction in production during Decem- Der. The tonnage for that month was the smallest since April. 1909, and Jan uary will, it is expected, show further curtailment. Locally there are several good inquiries of some size, which have not been closed. Sales are light, but there is tendency on the part of con sumers to ask for all the metal coming to them on existing contracts. This Is more true of some consuming lines than others. There is no change in price and the whole situation is but a con- tinuance of what has gone before.
 Demand for coke continues light and the market is easy. There is some furnace business being done, but the foundry end. especially in the matter of tonnage of any size, is hard to locate.
 We'll Known Managers Racy Letter

 CT note what you say about the art ist's singing southern melodies. Yes, you are right about that. I think the people would rather hear the real great things, and We will take your advice and have Miss Garden sing only the standard music. Still, I recall fact two years ago at the Atlanta music festival when the artists sang only the great things, and the great audience did not understand thems I had a certain pet soprano on one evening, and I told her to sing the stuff that the audience did understand, and the papers the next day said that this soprano (although she only received about one-tenth as much as the others) was the star of the season.

The world always needs pioneers,
and missionary pioneers IN the larg-
est sense of the word. For when
there are no more foreign lands and
peoples to whom light needs to be
carried, there are realms of thought
and movements for the advancement
of peoples right about us, in which
pioneers are needed. So it is there
fore most fitting that among the win
dows in the cathedral at Liverpool to
notable women is one to Anna Hin
derer and all missionary pioneers.
Anna Hinderer, whose maiden
name was Anna Martin, was born in
1927 at Hempnall, in Norfolk. Even
as child her desires ran to the
things of religion. Missionary. work
in particular appealed to her. and
her ambition was to be a missionary
She met David Hinderer, a member
of a band of German evangelists. He
had been ordained by the Bishop OF
Canterbury for missionary work in
connection with the Church of Eng
land. Their mutual interest in this
field of labor brought about friend
ship which soon ripened into love
They were married in October, 1852
and In six months were on their way
to the west coast of Africa.
Anna Hinderer had not mistaken
her vocation. Few do, when to do a
certain work is the consuming desire
of their life. She had the magnetism
the personality, whatever it is called
that wins hearts. She soon became
known as Iva (mother) by the peo-
pie among whom she worked. and
this name chung to her all through
her missionary career.
Her work was the hardest kind OF

Now, where are you going SO

I'm going to be great Queen, sir, !"
she said,
I'm the Land of the Silver Spoon!
I'm tired of spelling, Of chickens, Of

So I'm going forever to do as please

"And where are you going, my fine

And where are YOU going so fast?'

An Admiral Pirate I'm going to be,
With vessel of purple and gold!"
Then passed the folk busily early and
late,
Till daylight grew red in the west,
And the queer bent man by the old
toll-gate
Sat him down on stump to rest.
When up the long highway there
suddenly sped
Two wanderers, fastening near;
And one-he was hanging sorrow
full head;
And che she was sobbing with
fear.
"Eow, whittier art coming, my dear

Now, whittier art coming?" quoth

Ridina an Old Hobby,

3 In recent nunb Der of the Otlook the
apostle of the newest nationaIisn bobs
UP to utter q few earnest words on a
subject that il always near to his
throbbing heart, the subject of--well,
to express it dslicately, the subject of
population. Babies. Other peoples
babies. The nations babies The
babies of the present generation, and
more particularly the babies of coming
ages. The babies that haven't been
heard from yet. These constitute the
subject that is furrowing that brow
and bowling those shoulders upon
which the burden of a. nations welfare
rests.
In the old Puritan days there used
to be an Institution called the ducking
stool It was used to suppress the ac-
tivities Of nervous, Eighty old women
who had acquired the reputation of
common scolds. Nowadays, when
statesmen out of a job vent their vol
utility after the fashion of a COM
mon scold, no one thinks Of ducking
them. 1t is quite as effective, and far
more amusing, just to let them talk
themselves to death
For tits fact that indiscriminate
scolding will kill the popularity Of the
strongest man. 1t Killed Bryan's hold
upon the people. 1t has killed the
colonefs. Men will honor a martyr and
sometimes even follow a crook, but
when man makes himself ridiculous
they laugh and turn away.-Bingham-

THE Loss Whitfield DOWN.

The estimated fire loss at Bangor
Me, ON Sunday has been whitfield
down to three millions. with an init
nation that the loss may finally be
found not to exceed million and a
half. This smallest estimate is big
loss for q little city like Bangor.
Bangor is now placed among the big
fire cities of New England. Portland
was the first under modern conditions,
forty live years ago the, coming sum-
mer. Boston followed six years later.
st. John, n. B.. had her baptism in
1877. when a revenue cutter laden with
supplies sailed from Boston to her re-
lief. In 1892. St Johns, y. F.. was
levelled to a large extent by a similar
disaster and recently the city of Chel-
sea was the one to be Frustrated.
While big fire is to be avoided
it is not the blight it appears to be.
for every city in New England that
has been fire swept is a better and
more inviting city today than it would
have been without the disaster
Bangor will not recover its losses
as quickly as Chelsea did, but it will
recover through the same New Eng
land pluck and enterprise and the new
city will be modernized.

Problem of peaenracx

Lecturing in London on The Prob
lem of Degeneracy. DR. Bernard Hol-
lander called attention to the Illogical
ity of attributing insanity in great
part to drink, while it is fact that
insanity is increasing. though drinking
is not The lecturer went on. however,
to express the opinion that if men
drink less now that formerly, women
drink more, especially among thu upper
classes.
He was disposed to attribute this to
hotel life and the increasing vogue of
restaurant parties. What this English
lecturer says is true in this country al
well as in Great Britain. with the SUBJ
stitution of the newly rich for the
upper classes. The tendency to live
in flats increases resort to restaura nts
and the habit of attendance on amuse-
ments beyond the home. The strain OF
modern social life is another factor
causing women to resort to drink as d
stimulant for the purpose of oVercom-
ing fatigue.
The problem of degeneracy is as
complicated as modern civilization, and
it is rarely that a single casual OBJ
server has looked at its origins from
every point of view. There is a decline
of faith which destroys spiritual ideals
and standards and puts extravagant
values on creature comforts and sem
sual delights. This accounts for the
tendency toward degeneracy in more
cases than any other single cause

RIpIcuLINe THE SUPREME COURT

The people have become impatient
waiting for the decision of the SUI
preme court in the trust cases. The
way to a decision was completed when
q change of justices called for a re-
hearing of the case, and it was argued
over some months ago and a decision
was expected before adjournment, but
it was not given out, much to the dis
appointment of all concerned.
1t is reported from Boston that wa
gers are made as to whether the SUI
preme court hasn't got all it's garden
ing done yet. or whether the brand of
tobacco that is sent to Justice Har-
Ian from Kentucky is not the sort to
put him in a deciding mood, as to
whether Justice Hughes whiskers are
properly trimmed and as to whether
Chief Justice White has been able to
frame up decision ON this case that
viii come within g thousand miles of
consistency when viewed with his in
come tax and corporation tax rulings.
A Boston paper says: Everyone
suspects that the court is not able to
make up it's mind. Whether the sus-
pense which investors are compelled
to endure is not worse than any de-
cision could be is a question. 1t GER
tainly looks very much like collapse
of popular government when our high
est court will apparently dilly- daily
aong so many months over a decision.
Although it is very weighty and mo-
mentous in importance it should, on
that very account, be rendered as
promptly as possible The delay of
the court is injurious to our prosperity
in almost every respect. The court
is not doing it's duty, or there is
something vitality wrong in our SYSTEM
Of government"
