Concerning the iron and steel mar
KITS the Iron Trade Review will say to-
day: The assurance given by the SUI
preme court decision that business will

has caused a marked Improvement N
sentiment in the iron trade. The low
point in production mas apparently
passed. Sales of pig IRON do not form
a large aggregate. An eastern steel

reported to be 10000 tons for forward
shipment at a price understood to be
about s14,50 delivered. The eastern
basic market is now quotable at s1i50

last previous sale. In New York state
buyers are sounding the market with
inquiries amounting to fully 10000
tons. and buyers of basic in Philadel-
pha market are offering to take large
tonnages at reduced prices. The south
ern market Is dull and prices are rag

The Iron Age will say today: "A

leading development of the week. At
meeting of the leading manufactur-

BETTING,
ROWDY|SM
FORBIDDEN

All betting and rowdyism at games
between clubs belonging to the North
ern Indiana Baseball Association, must
cease. Such is the ultimatum of Presi-
dent W. j. McAleer.
Mr.. McAleer has made manifest Ia
no uncertain terms his displeasure re-
garding sensational incidents at last
Sundays game between East Chicago
and whiting, which resulted in riot
and arrests. At a special meeting of
the managers and directors called for
the express purpose of discussing the
conditions which brought about what
President McAleer referrde to a the
"disgraceful practices" of Sunday, the
officials were treated to lecture
which they are not likely soon to for
get. The president of the league has
also prepared for publication a state
nnnt IN which he sets forth his opinion
OF the tactics employed at Sunday 5
game. and tells what is in store for
those who in the future will dare to
infringe on the rules of the association
regarding gambling
1t IS Mr.. McAleer's intention not
merely to put out OF the grounds such
malefactors as bet on the contests. but
to have them arrested. He himself
the law. all cases against the offenders,
and the police who patrol the grounds
will be given Instructions to arrest,
any and all persons caught making a
bet, regardless of whom the order hits
Another departure from the old ord
er of things which has grown out of
last Sundays game at Whiting, Is the
introduction of the double umpire sys-
tenn. 1t was agreed at last nights
meeting to have two umpires. at every
game, one to act as field umpire and
the other to rule strikes and balls.
This necessitated the raising OF the
assessment for the support of the
league from Eve to 10 per cent of the
gross receipts.
President McAleer made IL very
plain last night that gambling is not
to be tolerated even in its mildest form
at the games. There is a rule against
ii in the bylaws and Mr.. McAleer
showed that it was the one factor
that would break up the league. He
does not intend TO allow the associa-
ton to be driven to the wall by any
rowdy element.
The league should stand for clear
ball. or there was an end to It, Il
was organized with that end in view
and for once. If never before in its
history. Lake County was to have
clean ball. If President McAleer was
Obliged to devote all of his time Il
bringing this condition about TIL,

Crown Point last Sunday and pitched

Hudson as backstop. Duke" walker
will also be in the lineup.
Indiana Harbot. who was to have
played Crown Point at the Harbor. will
go to Crown Point instead. special
train will carry the Harborites to the

NEGOTIATIONS FOR SEED
FACTORY STILL PEND
Interesting Story of Factory

LUTHER BURBANK IS QUOTED

Although there have been no further
negotiations between the Sunfiower Co.
and the Hammond Business Mems asso-
citation for the location of a sunfiower
products plant in Hammond, there is
some interest in certain quarters as to
what this company would produce. E.
f. Johnston, secretary of the Bust
ness Mems association. was out at the
time when W. j. Moore of Chicago,
vice president of the company, called
and Therefore has no further particulars
about the company.
An interesting article about suflfiow-
res and their products was recently
published in The Weekly Messenger at
Neponset, ILL.,. by c. S. Longnecker.
of the proters Of the new company.
1t appears from this article that the
company proposes to make bread -four
from the seeds OF flower, and also to
extract the oils for table uses.
Hos Great Possibilities.
The article in part is as follows:
The products of the sunfower. the
old. ordinary sunflower, that all OF US
have seen growing in alleys and back
yards. and. in fact, anywhere that 1t has
had a chance. More labor has been used
trying to Keep them from growing than
have known to be used in trying to
produce them.
I'VE find by investigation the wild
sunfower originated on the great plain
regions from what is now known as
Nebraska to northern Mexico. But no
doubt because our land has been pro-
ducing such wonderful crops with so
little expenditure Of labor. the sunflow-
err has been neglected in this county.
However. European and Asiatic coun-
tries, principally Russia and China dis
covered Its great merit and cultivated
1t with the result that Russia raised
in 1910 722,000.0o pounds of seeds, out
OF which they extracted 144.000,000
pounds of a finer oil than the best olive
oil They consumed 81 per cent of this
oil at home, and strange as il may seem
shipped the other per cent mainly to
such parts of the Mediterranean as are
famous for their production of olive
oil.
After extracting the oil they export
ed the oil cake for stock food largely
to Denmark, Germany. England and va
rious other parts of the world.
Burbank ReIishes Bread.
The accepted ration of chemical ele-
ments In food as the Atwater Dietary
standard. While many of the foods we
eat contain chemicals, they do not con
tain them in the properly ratio and in
digestion frequently results We come
nearer reaching this ration by the
use of the bread made from the sun
flower flour than any other food on the
market"
The article then cites two letter:
from Luther Burbank. one of whicf
speaks of experiments that the wiz.
| ard Is making with sunhowers, while
the other is a letter of acknowledg.
| ment for supply of sunfiower -four
