Iron is the most abundant and
useful of all metals, and has been
known from the remotest time.
The ancient Egyptians were
familiar with the process Of
working iron and undoubtedly
knew how to make steel.
iron in Ancient Days.
Tools found in their temples
were made of this metal, and if
the British Museum is to be seen
an ax-head from the pyramid Of
Gizeh dating B. c. 1000.
The Assyrians and Babylonians
were also skilful workers in iron.
The Greeks obtained their knowl-
edge of iron working from these
older nations. The r omans
learned the art from the Greeks,
and developed it in England,
where it had been in operation
since B. c, 80.
Other European nations were
also workers of iron at an early
date, using rude FORCES and crude
methods.
For several centuries progress
was slow, and the manufacture OF
iron or steel was not considered
of sufficient Importance to be
called an industry.
Not until 1850, when the man
ufacture of cast iron and steel
was inaugurated in Germany. did
the industry assume any impor-
lance.
The fuel used for the smelling
of the ore was charcoal. In 1858.
the British Parliament with the
prescience which is permanent
characteristic of that august
body passed laws restricting the
building of ironworks in some
parts of the country, and forbid
ding the cutting down of trees
for fuel. This cutting down of
supplies led to the search for a
substitute for charcoal for fuel,
and in 1919 a man by the name Of
Dudley used coal for the purpose
of smelling. The plan was not
received with favor and fell into
disuse.

WYE live in the age of steel.
w Steel is the synonym of
civilization and the badge
of prosperity. When the rail-
roads are buying steel and eX-
tending their lines. we are pros
porous. The farmer builds barns,
fences broad acres, puts up silos,
and the young folks make homes.
Iron and steel enter into every
building project.
America, by reason of her enor-
nous consumption of metals, has
earned the title of The Land
Of Steel" We are a nation of
builders.
Progress is only possible where
there is mutually and co-opera-
tion-where we see the seeming
paradox of individual liberty har-
messed to the car of common veal.

tic Temperament" the term com

that nothing contributes more to

SCHOOLS CAUSE OF
HIGH COST OF LIVING
Conclusion Reached by Federal In
vestigator. Luxuries of Ten Years
Ago Are Necessities Today.

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-The cost Of
living in the region of Kansas City
has increased SO per cent in ten years
while the wages of skilled laborers
have been augmented a fraction
more than 26 per cent, according to
conclusions reached by George A.
Trayer, agent of the department OF
labor.
He said final reports on the result
of investigations being made IN forty
of the larger cities of the United
States would be made January l.
For the unskilled laborer," said
Mr.. Trayer, there has been almost
no change in wage. The supply be-
ing greater than the demand, wages
have not increased.
THE common school has proved a
factor in increasing the cost OF living
by teaching higher ideals until we
cannot live as we did several years
ago. What was luxury ten years ago
now is necessity. In my own state,
Virginia, where the piano used to be
considered a luxury it is now consld-
cred a necessity.
"The 16 year old daughter of a
man earning $3.50 day, if she has
had average training, desires a piano
He must buy it for her on the in
stallment plan"

Twenty years ago he killed David
Shippey in Marion county, near Bue-

went out into the golden west, where
he has since resided. Recently he
came back, prompted no doubt by the
desire to see once more before he
died the home and scenes of the hap
by days of boyhood, ere his hands
had been stained with blood.
Mr.. Hogg was tried for the killing
of David Shippey, but time and cir

TO STOP FUNERAL JUNKETS
AN OLD CONGRESSIONAL CUSTOM
Is NOW UNDER FIRE.
The Donation of a Years Salary TO
Widows of Deceased Members Is
Also Attacked as Unlawful.

WASHINGTON,-An interesting
question has been revived by the res
olution of Mr.. Kenyon declaring it TO
be the sense of judgment of the SEN
ate that hereafter no donation OF
years salary shall be made to the
widows of deceased members. There
is no warrent of law for this dona-
ton Of public funds for private pur-
poses.
A few days ago Mr.. Kenyon sought
to offer a resolution on the subject
as the joint action of himself and
Senator Borah, they having agreed
to start a fight against what was
declared to be a senseless as well as
an unwarranted custom. The SEN
ate rules prevented such joint &C

pendently. but will have the earnest
support of the Idaho senator. The
point is made that widows seldom
are left in such straits as to need
the years salary of their husbands
which custom has given them, Whlle
frequently the deceased member
whose widow becomes the beneficiary
of an unwarranted donation leaves
an estate ample for her protection.
In connection with the question OF
voting money to widows of senators
the general subject of spending
thousands of dollars on funerals is
receiving attention. Years ago some
of the funerals were junkets that
resembled a veritable 'Scotty OF
Death Valley" trip and many scan
dals attached to them. Recently
there has been nothing of this scan
dalous nature, but the ordinary fun
eraT accorded the late Senator Tay-
lor of Tennessee, which was a fair
sample of latter-day affairs OF the
kind, cost the government some $4,-
600, this included sixty-six round
trip tickets from Washington to the
place of burial. The wave of reform
that has struck congress is extend
ing beyond the grave.
