OF the year. The close OF 1911 was dis.
tingulshed by a marked revival in the
steel industries, and activity in steel
manufacturing is regarded as signif-
cant Of general Industrial activity. 1t
Is estimated that 100000 men. who
we're idle in the Pittsburg region two
months ago, will be put to work dur
ing the current month. Thirty-slx
plants that were idle on December !
are expected to- start within the next
twenty days.
This is a presidential year-Ta year
when everything goes into the melt
ing pot-but the antictpatory effects
have already been discounted 1t has
been made manifest that, so far as
Republican national politics is con-
cerned, there Is not likely to be any
thing approaching a revolutionary up
heaval. And the conservative element
in the Democratic party is exerting
greater influence in the party conn
ellis than during any previous presi.

EAST LIVERPOOL AT HEAD
OF NEW LEAGUE PROJECT

East Liverpool parties are promot-
ing the idea of new baseball league.
Seeing that they will be forced out OF
the o. and P. and desiring to be n
member of some other organization,
men there have launched the enter
prise that bids fair to be success.
However, they are getting IN
wrong right at the start by soliciting
the aid of Perry Stetler. well known
to New Castle baseball fans. Stetler
says he is anxious to help the new
league and will manage one OF the
teams. His record while he was man
ager of the Nocks is such that he VIII

The towns suggested are those that
were in the old p. Q, NJ, Interstate,
Pennsylvania and West Virginia and
those that may be left out of the O.
and P. in case that the four above
mentioned cities are successful in
their attempts to break into the Cen
trial.

proximity to East Liverpool. Favor.
able replies, it is said, have been re.
ceived from them.
The idea includes the lowering of
the salary limit TO $1,000 and main,

veterans, too, win be glad to get back

THE FAILURE OF SUCCESS.

Success Is not success. BY a
strange irony OF fate the magazine
that guided many others on the road
to fortune and that seemed to have
prosperity-eompelling talisman in its
very name has proved a failure. 1t
seems that 1t takes something more
than a name and something more than
an idea to make winning magazine.
One reason for the failure Of Success
is doubtless that the magazine field is
overcrowded. Some years the evident
prosperity of half dozen or more
popular monthly publications caused
them ito be regarded as get-rich'quick
mediums. AS consequence there was
a rush into the magazine field. Pub
lications with definite missions and
without definite missions save the
making of money sprang up like mush-
rooms. Some OF them were worthy
and some were unworthy, but regard
less o., their value TO the reader, the
great number of them demoralized the
magazine publication business. The
results became apparent some time
ago The mushroom magazines began
to wilt one by one.
Another cause OF magazine failure
Is that the general advertisers are ap-
Ireciatfng that the newspapers are the
best publicity mediums and are turn
ing to them as never before, dropping
their costly advertising in the periodi'
Gals The reduced size OF the adver-
Using section in the magazines attest
this.
Now 1t is being realized that maya

few more periodicals. will go by the
board and gradually the business Will
come back to It's old stability With the
remaining magazines more substan-
tial, Judging them from the literary
standpoints. And when this time
comes the reading public will be the

gamer. With competition reduced and
with magazine publishers in position
to concentrate their efforts upon
selecting the best possible material
we shall have periodicals worthier OF
attention.
The readers OF Success will feel a
distinct loss On It's suspension, as 1t
was one OF the wholesome, clean; and
dignifed publications OF the country,
with high ideals.
On the other hand we find also that
another class OF magazines, the sirbd
"muc1irakers" have also been forced
out OF business and such was the fate

nut due so much to the policy OF the
papers, as we find that with widely
divergent policies the ones which have
failed all had large circulations. Cir
culation receipts are only small fac
tor in supporting any publication, but
advertising Is the essential income
necessary and this Is when the
magazines are finding their Waterloo.

The Newspapers are a part OF the
daily life-the routine of eXistance-

The monthly Style Book has recog-

bring its National advertisers in closer

lar community they want to reach, has
divided Its territory into zones, or
sections and permits advertisers to

The BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

The prevalent opinion at the begin
ming Of 1912 among those qalified to
speak from broad view Of the Conn-
try's industries is that a brisker and
better era of business is just ahead.
During last year we sold abroad much
more than We bought. Our exports
greatly exceeded our imports. The
theory is that the nation, like the in
dividual, is better off when it sells
more than it buys. We start the new
year with favorable balance from
our past dealings with the outside
world. The cereal and food crops
were generally less in yield for last
year than for the previous year, but,
as offsetting this, prices, as the farmer
realizes them, have ranged considera-
bly, higher. The cotton crop of 1911
will, however surpass the highest
previous yield by fully 100000 bales.
The year 1910 was one Of liquida-
tion in many branches OF trade and in.
dustry, and the recovery that was
hoped for during 1911 was not fully
in evidence until the very last months
