A MILLION DOLLARS A DAY.

A million dollars a day is now the
export record of the iron and steel
manufacturers of the United States.
The official records for the current
fiscal year show 215 million dollars
worth of iron and steel manufactures
exported in the Els days for which a
statistical record is available.
The export reports as prepared by
the statistical division of the bureau
of foreign and domestic commerce
show the movements during the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 1912, and cover
at present the seven months ending
January 81, 1913. The total number
of days in that period, including Sun
days and holidays, is 215, and the
value of iron and steel manufactures
exported during that time, 215 million
dollars, this total including the bu-
reau's general group iron and steel
manufactures" TIA million dollars;
agricultural implements, of which iron
and steel are the components of chief
value, % million; automobiles and
parts, except tires and engines, Is
million; and electrical machinery,
about 4 million.
No class of articles exported from
the United States has shown in recent
years SuCn d pHelOIleHdl gam dS tAAnl
of iron and steel manufactures. The
exports of iron and steel and articles
chiefly composed of those materials
showed, twenty years ago, in the fiscal
year 1898, total of but 35 million
dollars; ten years ago, in 1903, 120
million dollars, and in the fiscal year
1913 will be fully 365 million, or an
average of a million dollars a day for
the full year.

NOW comes the amateur gardener, his

City reporter persons. mo sooner said

AN investigation by the department
OF agriculture showed, last year. that
some OF the seeds catalogues contain
amazingly inaccurate statements. One
1lrm said that. having carefully tested
the seeds sold, it intended to sell only
SEEDS or the best quality, but for self
protection against fraud on the part
OF the purchasers all seeds were sold
subject to the usual clause by which
all liability and responsibility for dam
age resulting from failure through the
use of his seeds. An experiment by the
department showed that the average
termination of the box seeds put up by
this firm and tested for four years was
42.S per cent, the highest average dur
ing that period being AS per cent. 1t
would thus appear that such firms
either do not test their seeds accurate
ly or else disregard the results of such
tests to the extent of including lots
showing unsatisfactory termination In

THE NEW PRESIDENT.
A new president has been inaugur-
ated, and the fact that he is the first
Democratic president for several terms
adds interest to the event. But, al
though not chosen by a majority of the
popular vote, few presidents have come
to office with the best wishes of nearer
all the people. In the interim between
election and inauguration he has made
no statements intended to alarm any
class, and being the president of all the
people, 1t is natural they should wish
him well. Selfishness and patriotism
combine to that end, and most of us
have little of both.
And it speaks well for the country
as well as for Wilson that the admin
istration and political policy may be
changed without alarm, and no greater
effect than a large celebration of the
outs coming in.
After which is is well to remember
that the future depends a great deal
more on yourself than on the admin
istration. Politics of any brand bears
no panacea of prosperity for the shift
less, and, played the other way across,
an industrious man, unless he is an
industrious postmaster, is not likely to
be greatly hampered by the shifting of
the INSTRUMENTATION Globe.

Result of Popularity Contest

In the popularity voting con-
test conducted by the Kadel-
Kritchfeld shows, while filing
a six-day's engagement in this
city last week developed great
interest and a friendly rivalry
amongst the friends of the sew
eral competing young ladies. This
interest ran high on the last night
and the balloting was close for a
time. On the final count, how
ever, Miss Sallie Jones was de-
clared the winner and was award
ed handsome set Of silverware.
Miss Susie Everton was second in
the contest, and up to Saturday,
when all names were dropped ex-
cept the two highest, Misses Ca
mile Lester and Maud Morgan
had received good votes.
All the young ladies appreciate
the efforts their friends put forth
in their behalf, and Miss Jones
feels especially grateful. She asks
all who helped her win to accept
her sincere thanks.
In this connection it may be
said that the Kadell- Kritchtield
shows left a good impression here.
Those who attended their per-
formances say that they are clean
and moral, and that the manage
ment do all they can to please
their patrons.

Ice Factory Sold

The ice factory of the DeSote
Manufacturing Company has beer
sold to the New York Ice Com
pany, which has already bought
other factories. in South Florida
and will probably buy others. The
deal for the local factory, while
not fully consummated, has reach
ed that point where the sale is
about ready to be confirmed.
1t is given out that no change is
contemplated in the management
or in the operating force, but the
capacity of the plant will be doub-
led by the installation of addition
al machinery, and II one thousand
ton storage plant will be put in,
all this to be done by the first of
June of this year.
The purchasing firm is a big con-
Germ, with a record of honorable
dealings; and it is proposed to
make the local ice factory Of more
value to the community. While
under the former ownership, the
factory has been greatly improved
and made to serve all needs, Mr..
P. w. MEADOW, the retiring pres
ident, has desired to be relieved of
some of his holdings, and he be-
lieves that the new ice company
will prove worthy of the confid-
ence of all of our people.
Owning factories in various Sec
tons of the country and having
bought chain of plants in Flor
ida, the New York Ice Company
appears to be in position to cper-
ate at an advantage that will give
to the consumers supplied prices
as low as any where in the United
States.
