U. s. Weather Station

A cooperative weather station
will be established in this city soon
with W. H. Farrell as official in
charge. The government supplies,
necessary instruments for the
station consisting of maximum
and minimum thermometers, rain
gauge and necessary supports, and
shelter for the observation of the
temperation and precipitation.
Mr.. Farrell will report to the Min
neapolis Office.
This will be quite a boon to the
citizens here especially during the
winter when the thermometers

From Puddler to President,

Largely because he is quiet
home-loving man, who first
thought is of his family, James A.
Farrell is slated for the presidency
of the billion dollar United States
Steel corporation at a salary of
| $4,000 a year. For 80 years, or
since he started work as a puddler
in New Haven wire mill at $4 65
per week when 16 years old, Mr..
Farrell has been entirely unknown
to the general public. He has,
however, been eating steel. sleeping
steel, and living steel, using, as he
has expressed it, both his head
and his hands" to force his way
upward in his chose field. After
nine years in the New Haven mill
Mr.. Farrell determined that there
was a higher field, in Pittsburg.
For several years thereafter he
worked in the white hot heat of the
blast furnaces and rolling mills,
bare to the waist and fighting the
titanic struggle of the men who
make steel. He became a puddler
making $40 per day, and men that
know him say that the big raw
boned Irishman became the best
puddler in all the Pittsburg district.
From workman he became superin-
tendent of the Pittsburg Wire COM
pany and the manager. He has
been advancing ever since. declares
an eastern writer.
Mr.. Farrell is remarkable man
in that he started under adverse
conditions and with practically nc
education and yet through mere
force of will has become man con-
versant with the steel business in
all its intricate phases from the
mining of the ore, its transporta-
tion to the mills, the production oi
finished steel products and its sale

ing-some for one reason and some
for another. The usual objections
are either some high moral ground
or the fact that the objector has
large feet and has never learned
the art. Anyhow being of an in
quisitive turn of mind, we decided
to attend a dance rec emily in order
to veiw it with an unbiased and
highly critical eye As directed
by a more experienced friend we
hired a cab to transport our lady
three blocks from the parental
roof. We use the word hired"
advisedly. When we opened
negotiations with the man who
owned it he appeared to think that
we wanted to buy his vehicle. 1t
seemed at best an extravaganza, as
our lady was vigorous female and
could easily have strolled the three
blocks. At the door of the dance
hall we were quietly relieved of a
dollar. In the cloak room more
silver was demanded before the
austere individual in command
would condescend to dust out his
rack with out best overcoat. The
music began. Grabbing our lady
by the right hand and encircling
her waist with our good right arm
we began to gallop down the room.
Our lady appeared to be favored
with vanilla perfume. Vanilla
always makes us sneeze, which
same we did straightway. It's
just as we'll that we happened to be
dancing at the moment in a
sparcely settled part of the room
otherwise more folks would have
fallen. Having thus succeeded in
upsetting out lady we retired to
the smoking room for repairs,
leaving her with other friends with
greater ease of manner. Our next
dance was with an attractive fairy
of the clinging vine vintage. The
girl evidently was tired. Anyhow
we danced and she rode. Our
right arm hasn't been normal
since. Very little menial activity
is needed at a dance. The most
graceful dancer we ever saw was a
man of tadpole mentality The
next dance was circle two
