TIGHT MONEY
Steel Trade Finds it Hard to Secure
Enough Capital

Slight improvement in financial
conditions has caused some change
for the better in sentiment in the
iron trade, but the tight money
market still seriously hampers bust
ness says the Cleveland Iron Trade
Review. This is strikingly illus
trated in the case of the ship build
ing industry of the Atlantic coast.
Three companies which are anxious
to place two boats each have been
unable to do so for financial
reasons. Here and there, a little
softening of prices of finished
materials is noted. While many
mills are resisting the taking of
orders for delivery after Jan. l,
there is evidence, although not of
, very positive kind. that prices on
some finished lines for delivery into
the first half of next year will not
be much, if any, higher than for
the last quarter of this year. The
remarkable dizziness of the pig iron
market continues.
Specifications against contracts
for wire products have been coming
in at very satisfactory rate and
mills are now operating at about IS
per cent of capacity. Inquiries for
considerable tonnage of barbed
wire for foreign shipment have
been received.
An important Cleveland company
has covered for its requirements for
steel bars for the first half of next
year. This action of large buyer
will, it is hoped, be followed by
considerable more buying in that
district. Some orders for foreign
shipment have been closed.
Recent orders for steel rails for
delivery in this country amount to
only 10000 tons and there is very
little prospect of additional orders
being placed until the financial
skies clear. Some progress is being
made in reaching more definite
basis for negotiations with foreign
consumers who have been inquiring
for billets and sheet bars, but no
additional orders have been report
ed. Pending Investigations will
probably soon show whether many
orders for semi finished material
for export will be placed.
Foreign shipbuilders are sending
more definite inquiries for plates to

Auto and Motorcycle Collide

Sunday afternoon while John
Markovich was passing the corner
on Central avenue and Sheridan
street on his motorcycle he collided
with the automobile driven by Al.
Coombe and coming down the hill.
Markovitch was violently. thrown
from the machine sustaining in
juries to his back which will lay
him up for a short time. At first
it was thought he was internally
injured. He was taken to the
Shipman Hospital and afterwards
to his home where he is on a fair
way to recovery.
The motorcycle was wrecked and
will be shipped to the factory for
repairs. The auto had the tenders
twisted and the lamps broken.
Parties who witnessed the collision
say both came off very lucky.

Biwabik vs.. ELY CITY

The Biwabik City Team and the
Ely City Team will try conclusions
on the local gridiron next Sunday
afternoon at 2:3O sharp. This
promises to be a royal battle as
Biwabik is reputed to have a fast
and heavy bunch of braves. The
Ely boys are not so slow, either for
weight or fastness and there will
be something of moment happen
ing every minute when these get
together.

on blank.
1t is true that any man can
make living. but you will notice
that the fellows who do it with
their brains and muscles combined
have an easier time of it than those
who are compelled to do it with
their muscles alone.
At the present stage of the
game the choice jobs are not held
by physical strength. Education
will not crawl into your head when
you are asleep or while you loaf on
a street corner sucking a cigarette.
The thing for you to do is to hike
off to school the very first morning
and stay there. Your holidays
will come later when you need
them"

Lessons In Public Health

Minnesota's public schools will
this winter give instruction in
public health. The states depart
ment of education has had out
lines prepared by the Minnesota
Public Health association, and has
printed $4,000 of these, one for
every public school teacher in the
state. These give the plain facts
about health through knowledge of
simple things. The first deals
with germs, and others with such
matters as food and water, air,
health supervision. The outlines
will be used as guides by the
teachers.
Some men would not care to be
judged by the letters they wrote
during their courtship.

But if you must surely trust
You'll get the facts all straight

Said the busy business man.
But if you write you surely
Will boom business all you can"

Said the badgered family doctor,
But if you please. you may say disease
Lies helpless where l knock her.
Your papers are not pious -
Said the fat and forty pastor,
But, if you quote you kindly note
That IN the preaching MASTER
The press is not uplifting
Said the slightly, highly teacher,
But don't you be strung, for teaching the
young
Is as great as being preacher"
Don't print my name' said the social
dame,
In the sense of slight and structure,
But if you do with the interview,
Be sure to print my picture
And so the modest public
Withdraws from printed mention,
But if you fail to print the tale
They II call it circumventon.

chants have sacrificed their health,
heart and happiness for that kind of
success; and don't want any of it.
l think the clerks work would be
on much higher plane if they were
organized and had some say about
the terms of employment, working
conditions, wages, etc. l think, too,
that the buying public would be bet
ter off if all of the clerks were or
ganized and had voice in how the
business should be conducted.
Most of US will have to admit that
while we say clothes don't make the
man, still we are influenced by
clothes. The working class is as
guilty as the other in this respect
Too many of us .unconsciously bow
mentally to the fellow who has more
money or bigger job than we have.
Take the small business man. He
generally lines up with the banker
and the big business man in antagon-
ism to labor unions. If he were not
ignorant he would know that he
would be better off if wages were
higher and the profits of Big Business
lower.
If Armour, for illustration, got two
millions in profit where heInow gets
one, he wouldn't buy any more food
and clothing. But if every employe
of the stockyards had his wages
doubled, most of that money would
get busy raising the standard of liv-
ing: More food, clothing, furniture,
pictures, pianos and other things
would be bought to make life pleas
anter for the families.
And there would be an end of child
labor if high wages were general
high enough for the father to support |
and educate his children.
There are thousands of men out
there who are better looking men
than Ogden Armour, and who would |
look more like the real thing than he |

The Law and Its Officers.-Now we
are informed that Lucy Page Gas
tons cigaret cure will be administer
ed to every boy brought into the
Juvenile Court.
The cure is the washing of the
mouth with a solution of nitrate of
silver
1t would be interesting to know by
what right any officer of the law
washes any boys mouth with solu-
ton of nitrate of silver or any other
chemical compound.
If some judge felt so inclined could
he force headachy prisoners to take
bromo settler?
Where did the notion come from
that either judges or policemen can
do about as they please with people
who are under arrest?
It's a wonder some lawyer hasn't
long ago applied to some real judge
for an injunction restraining police
officers from giving men under arrest
the third degree.
There is no law for it except the
law of might.
Police have right to arrest and
lock up persons accused of crimes or
misdemeanors, but there their rights
over the prisoners end.
They have no right to torture
them, even to force confessions.
If the suspect happens to be in
nocent cruel punishment is admin
istered, punishment that would be
cruel even if he were guilty.
Under the law a man is supposed
to be innocent until he has been
proven guilty. Too often officers of
the law assume that he is guilty until
he proves himself innocent.
The law guarantees accused per-
sons trial by jury. There is no au-
