splendid contribution to the educational
part of the program, dealing as it did
with strong characters who helped to
make the worlds early history.

attendance despite other attractions
which appear occasionally on the same
date.

THEN AND NOW.

Activity In the iron and steel bust
ness continues at an extraordinary
rate. Prices have risen from $500 to
$500 per ton from the lowest point.
The plants OF tho United States Steel
Association are operating TO about 90
per cent OF their capacity. and indie
pendent plants are operating on even
a more liberal scale. The difficulties
OF securing labor and maintaining re-
pairs are the only draw backs to larger
production. II Is not improbable that
steel prices will advance still further
and this fact doubtless has stimulated
the placing Of large orders. Orders
for rails during the. month OF Angus.
have reached nearly $4,000 tons.
There is also a notable increase in the
number OF large buildings In our
principal cities. which consume heavy
quantities Of iron and steel
