Withdrawn. All the interests in
the district report an increasing in
terest on the part of the foundry
men. There has been a noticeable
increase in inquiry within the past
two or three days. Consumption
is still at low level, although the
volume of buying has materially
increased. The meters all give
expression to a better sentiment
and report the development of an
improvement in orders. The spirit
OF business as a whole has appar-
entity turned from uncertainty to a
tone OF optimism since the enact
ment OF the currency law by con-
gress,
Regarding Iron ore the Review
says:
The 1914 program has not yet
been taken up by the ore shippers
and it looks now as though moth
ing would be done until March.
Chartering of vessel property will
probably not begin until few days
before the opening of navigation.
The expectation is that the carry
ing rate will remain as it is. Ship
ments OF ore from dock TO furnaces
were larger during December than
was expected, though not as large
as the shipments for the CORES
ponding month of 1912. About
100000 tons were shipped to the
furnaces during December and as
the balance on dock Dec. l was less
this year than for several years
past, it is now expected that the
docks will be in fairly good shape
when the season of navigation
opens in spring. 1t is estimated
that the wastage of ore tonnage
caused by the elements during 1913
amounted to about $4,000 tons per
trip. This will be partly made up
by the construction of new tonnage
but the capacity of the available
fleet at the opening of navigation
will be about so, 900 tons per trip
than it was upon the opening of
navigation in 1918.

Written by a SingIe Woman

Man in his arrogance rises up
ever and anon to harangue on the
vanity and foolishness of woman S
dress. Well, let him. Who cares
anyway? asks a writer in one of our
exchanges. Certainly not the
woman for she goes on her way
serene and smiling, knowing in
her willy little heart that it is the
very conceits he condemns that
take his eye and ensnare his fancy.
Woman without her frills and
furbelows would be sorry sight
indeed, and man, the sinner, would
be the first to tell her so. Man S
dress, must admit, is in general
very sensible, but there is one
thing about it that for uselessness
discounts anything that woman
ever wore or thought of. I am re-
ferring to that little flap that is
placed jpst below the bosom of the
shirt supplied with a button-hole
but for what reason nobody has
ever been able to discover. 1t
seems to me that to be consistent
men should remove that flap before
he makes any criticism on the ap-
parel of his better half. and 1 am
sure every woman in the land
agrees with me.

Parcel Post Business

To give our readers an idea of
the immense business now carried
on by the parcel post we copy from
a Chicago daily the business for
one week in that city alone. and it
was not the week before Christmas
either, but for the week ending
December Is, 1913, The paper
says:
Chicago's parcel post business
this week broke the record since
the inauguration of the system.
The average business since last
Saturday has been 215 tons day.
1t is now running about 100000
packages month, against 3,OOO,-
900 for last January. The stamp
sale for the first ten days of Decem-
Der amounted to a 81 900, 900.
This was said to be larger than for
any like period in the history of
the Chicago postof6ce.
When one city sends out 215 tons
of mail daily you can hardly find
figures to express the number of
tons sent out in the United States.
The parcel post is certainly here to
stay.

There is many a young man

is vastly less night prowling in
towns that have curfew ordinance

The Iron Trade Review of Cleve-

in activity in pig iron and finished
materials has developed during the
first week of the New Year.
While extremely low prices have
been made on basic pig iron, the

regarded as highly encouraging.
The conditions in the Buffalo
market are given by the same paper
as follows:
THE weeks orders amounted to
fully ZOO tons of all grades of

prices for delivery at distant points.

OWN YOUR OWN HOME

Some say that it costs more to
own a home thon to rent a house
and proves it. That is, his fig
ures seem to prove that it is cheaper
to rent than own home. 1t
sounds right, but it isn't. What
ever figures say it isn't so. 1t
paws to own a home, home OF
your own, a permanent abode from
whence nobody can drive you and
where you can sit down of evenings
in the realization that it is yours
and that there is one place on earth
where you and yours are actually
at home, says the Times Republi-
can.
lNever mind the figures. They
are all right. There is something
about ownership of a home that
can not be put into figures or
scheduled or ilventoried. The
children seem to flourish better
and to root stronger in home soil.
There is a content about owning a
home that is never attained in a
rented house. 1t pays.
Notice that those who start out
TO own their own home" seem to
dtS better than the others. One
reason is that the home owning in
stinct is the first impulse of thrift.
Another is that they do better be-

It is easy to buy a home piece

for one. The young couple who

it free before the third boy is ready

cording to the cloth. Thrift never
walks hand in hand with foolish
ambitions or arrogance. Buy what
you can handle. Pay for it. Buy
better when you can. Buy your
own home whether it is large or
small, fine or plain. Own it.
Whatever any human being tells
you, whatever figures he backs up
his argument with, buy a home

FOREST NOTES

The American forestry associa-
ton has members in every state in
the union, in every province in
Canada, and in every civilized and
semi-civilized country in the world
Makers of monographs are aim
ing to use wood instead of metal
in all parts of the instrument where
this is possible, in order to increase
the mellowness. of the tone.
On the Pocatello forest, Idaho,
100000 trees were planted during
the past year, and almost half a
million in the past three years,
fully three-fourths of which are
alive and doing well.
Experiments in the use of aspen
for shingles show that the shingles
do not check in seasoning, and that
they. turn water satisfactorily, but
that they are too easily broken in
handling.
There are somewhat more than
500 recognized tree species in the
United States, of which about 100
are commercially important for
timber. Of the 500 recognized
species, 800 are represented in the
governments newly acquired APP
palachian forests. All American
species, except a very few subtropi-
cal ones on the Florida keys and in
extreme southern Texas, are to be
found in one or another of the
national forests,
