HARVESTER sovcoTTs sTEEL:,
Denial to Claim That Close Business
Relations Existed.

Washington, jan 24.--Jsmes A. Far
rell, president Of the United states
Steel Corporation. surprised the STAN
ley steel trust" investigating commits
tee yesterday with the statement that
the steel corporation and the Interna-
tional Harvester Company have had no
business dealings with each othc. for
five or six years.
The Information, coming on the eve
of proposed investigation of the har-
vester company by congress-. in which
it was sought to show as one existing
condition that the harvester COMPANY
and the steel corporation had inIer-
locking directors and that the latter
gave rebates to the former on steel,
was doubly surprising. b.
Representative McGilfcudy Of Maine
questioned President Farrell about the
export business of the steel corporation
and rebates given to certain companies.
Isn't it fact that the harvester
company gets larger rebates than are
granted smaller concerns Mr.. Nc.
Gillicudy asked
1--WE have done no business with
the International Harvester Company
whatever for five or lax years." Mr..
Farrell replied. The International
Harvester Company has. had a boycott
on this corporation. It all grew out
Of a controversy with one Of our sub.
sidiary companies and the harvester
company. It started rs . mere quibble
between salesmen and resulted In q
complete severance Of sbnsiness rela-
tions. There il absolutely nothing In
common between US. Wesdon't do bus

Whole Family Benefited
 By Wonderful Remedy

ny Wonoefful Remedy
 There are many little things to annoy us, under present conditions of life. The hurry, hard work, noise and strain all tell on us and tend to provoke nervousness and irritability.. We are frequently so worn out we can neither eat, sleep nor work with any comfort. We are out of line with ourselves and others as well.
 A good thing to do under such circumstances is to take something like
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills to relieve the strain on the nerves. Mrs. J. B. Hartsfeld. B Corput St., Atlanta Ga, writes:
 T have on several occasions been vastly relieved by the use of your med icines, especially the Anti-Pain Pills. which keep constantly on hand for the use of myself, husband and two sons. Nothing in the world equals them
 neduacHe remedy. Otten am enabled by the use of one or two of the Pills to continue my homework when otherwise I would be in bed My husband joins me in my praise of the Anti-Pain Pills and Nervine.''
 Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills are relied upon to relieve pain, nervousness and irritability in thou sands of households. Of proven merit after twenty years use, you can have no reason for being longer without them.

teresting light, in a lengthy communication, upon this great economic problem.
How About That Money Trust?

For many months Wash ington has been hearing about the money trust, and in ex- planation of the term MT. Samuel Untermeyer of New York, one of the prominent attorneys of the metropolis, explains that a few bankers control the outflow of money from its principal source in New York, to the country banks; and he also explains that the great commercial credits are supervised by the same small set of men in New York. This group of men who control the financial situation are what is generally under stood to constitute the "money trust. " Statistics have been gathered from the banking and industrial institutions throughout the country, and the Committee of Congress having the matter in charge will begin work on November 18th, at which time those po- pular informers upon all mat ters of great national interest, Messrs. J. Pierpont Morgan, George w. Perkins, George F. Baker, John D. Rockefel- Ter, and the rest of the "bip 'uns,' are expected to disclose just how 1t is possible for few men to rule the financial des- tinies of great people, scat tered over so broad an area of land as that of the United States.

Plans For Rural Credit
men,

The question of better bor- rowing facilities for farmers has. been frequently metioned in this correspondence, and the speeches of Congressman George w. Morris, of Nebras- ka, made during the past year or two, have apparently been instrumentalin blazing a trail along which other statesmen have followed, and become acquainted with the necessity for more modern methods of credit, if the farmer is to car ry on his business without
 being unnecessarily hampered and curtailed for funds. Presi- dent Taft has given impetus to the suggested reform by avowing himself in favor of rural credit banks, and i'll his
 utterances has followed the suggestions made by MT. Norris in the last two Con- gresses. in which particular emphasis were laid upon the Raifesen system, which has been entirely successful i'll Germany. MT. Norris took the position year or more ago that the government should give the same careful investi- gation to rural credits as was furnished through the Aldrich Monetary Commission i'll its study of the methods existing throughout the world, and particularly in Europe, with reference to Commercial cred its. He introduced a resolu- ton a long time ago, which is still pending, providing for Commission to study ana re- port upon the systems in Germany, and elsewhere in Europe, which have offered a means for farmers to obtain quick and adequate loans to finance their affairs. The German system is wholly CO., operative, and ill it's operation is said to resemble the build ing and loan association plans more than those methods com monly used in banking. Gov ernor McGoverr, of Wiscon- sin, in response to a request by the New York Times, states that the problem has already been taken up in his state, and he sheds much in-

The Biggest Business
 In The World

cock is at the head of the big gest business institution in the world, and he asked that Con gress appropriate s2SI,791,5o0 for the year beginning July |, 1913. Of course this may all be expected to come back to tle Department i'll the way of patronage from the public,
 unless MT. Hitchcock S figures by which he proves the post office department selfsupport- ing, are wrong and lots peo- pie say they are decidedly misleading. When the parcel post was being urged MT. Hitchcock and his officials, told Congress and the people, that 1t could be expected to be money-maker for the gov ernment, yet in the estimate there is $7, 24o,coo for the purpose of the parcel post. Notwithstanding that there has been no end of agitation throughout the country as to the amount being paid the railroads each year for carry ing the mails the Postmaster General asks for an increase of $2, ,oco, which if allow ed will leave Ill the hands Of the Postmaster General $4o,- 66I,ooo to distribute among the railroads. It is very noti- ciable i'll this respect to this last item that the protests against such enormous pay ments to the roads never cease, and meanwhile each postOA1ce bill increases the annual allowance for the pur- pose. It has never been sug- gested that MT. Hitchcock is economical in anything he does when spending government money. Things appear to go a good deal by jumps in the postoffice. A few years ago quick dispatch and swift mail trains, were the fad, but now 1t is said most official activity is in referance to stage lines, rural and parcel delivery. A railroad train takes from five to six hours to go from Wash ineton to New York, yet a letter mailed as early as ten o'clock in the morning at the "grandaddy .postoflce' in Washington, will not be de- livered i'll New York the same day, even in the big hotels, where mail is received up to ten o'clock at night. This in- cident illustrates that in two of the supposedly greatest postofices in the country that more time is consumed in making dispatch and delivery than the railroads find neces- sary to transport the cores pondence nearly 275 miles. It is but one of a thousand instances that could be cited to show that the postoHice, with all its boasted greatness, is still in need of some of the same energetic management fourd in all great enterprises outside of the government, where politicians are called upou to do thinoS most un-

SPANISH JESUIT
|NVENTS MACHINE
TOPRED|CT STORMS
Instrument Not Only Fore
tells Coming, But Indicates
Direction of Path.

From the far Philippines a Spanish
Jesuit priest, who has devoted his en-
tire life to the cause of humanity, has
come with the announcement that he
has invented an instrument whereby
man will be warned OF future typhoohs,
lornadoes, and other death-dealing and
property destroying winds
Father Jose Algue, director OF the
Philippines Weather Bureau, is the in
yentor of the new Instrument, the baro-
cyclonometer, an instrument which In the
course of few months will be a part
of the working apparatus Of every ship
in the United States Navy. Negotia-
tions for the making of the instruments
are already under way at the Navy
Department.
The priest, who visited Washington
several days ago, explained in detail
his invention to Weather Bureau Of
ficals in this city, who all marvel at
the results that can be obtained by the
ir strument.
The barocyclonometer is an ingenious
combination <of the barometer with a
cyclone detecting device, which last Is
Father Algue's own invention. The kind
of a barometer which. with the new
apparatus. makes up the instrument Is
known as the Faura barometer. 1t was
invented by Father Faura, Father AL
gue's predecessor as director OF the
Philippine weather bureau. whose as
sistant the latter was until Father
| Faura's death. fourteen years ago.
A barometer used alone will tell of the
| approach of storm, but will give no
| hint as to the direction in which the
center or vortex of the storm is moving.
! 1t is this additional information that
| the cyclonometer supplies.
1t Is needless to go into detail regard
| ing Father Algue's invention. That
would involve altogether too much tech
\ nical language but It suffces to say
| that the invention of the Jesuit priest.
| who has labored years in his observs-
| tory at Manila. will be the means of
