TO talk this matter over with the farm
ers and II is very likely that good
representation of merchants will be
on hand and that the matter will be
fixed satisfactorily.
Oats Crop Varies
Farmers from different sections OF
the county are telling different stories
about their oats crop. In one section
the oats are extremely light while in
another section they are extremely
heavy. In the section south OF this
city the yield and heft of the oats
couldn't be better Some OF the oats
thrashed there weighed as high as 80
pounds to the bushel and some of the
farmers claim yield OF 70-bushels to
the acre. In the section about Balsam
the oats are all veiy light and the
yield poor. The condition is charged
to the rain and the frosts that came in
August In some sections the frost
cut the grain and In others IL missed H.
Barley is a very good crop all over
the county. Even in the sections
where the oats is poor the barley is
fine and has good weight. Potatoes are
a poor crop all over the county, the
yield being but about quarter OF a
crop and the quality very poor.
Taken as whole 1915 has been a
bad season for Iron county farmers
with the exception OF the hay crop.

When the market price rules from

When the market price is $1.OO or

AS a sample OF how this plan will
work we will say that the price OF po-
tatoes on the general market today is
75-cents per bushel. John Smith
comes in with load OF potatoes TO
the Tufts store The load or potatoes
is OF all sizes, kinds and conditions.
The potatoes will be graded, the No.

No. 2s in other sacks and II there are
any specials they, also. will be placed
in separate sacks. The No. is will be
paid for at the rate OF .S9h cetns per
bushel and the No. rs at 75-cents
per bushel. No fixed scale was adopted
for specials, that grade being one that
will not be asked for very often.

Then came the question OF grading.
The merchants pointed out the diff

selling to one store and another to an
other store and the same person not
doing the grading One grader will un-
doubtedly vary from another. AS re-
suit OF this discussion the sense OF the
meeting as expressed was for single
grader, a machine that can be bought
at from forty to fifty dollars, Mr..
Hoopingarner advised that action on
the grader question be deferred until
the meeting of the Iron county potato
association when IL IL thought that
that body will take action and for its
own convenience buy one or two
graders, one grader TO be used by the
farmers on this side OF the county and
the other by the farmers on the west
side.
Mr. Hoopingarner has not taken uT
the subject OF buying on grade with
the merchants OF the west side but

Labor Short nj Mills
AS result OF the rush az the iron
and steel plants, both in the East and
Central West, shortage OF labor is be-
ginning to make itself felt Manufac-
turers say that men with training in
any branch OF the industry who want
TO work can readily find employment
al good wages.
According to reports. steel mills are
unable to accept orders for steel bars
for war munitions short of next May
or June. Inquiries aggregating 100000
tons OF round billets and blooms are
reported to be going begging at Pitts
burgh.
Buying OF pig iron has been in enor-
nous volume during the last week. In
the Pittsburgh district alone 100000
tons are estimated to have been sold
for delivery early next year. The
Jones & Laughlin company. with all its
furnaces going full capacity, has pur-
chased 10000 tons OF basic iron outside
in order to fill its contracts. Other
leading companies have also been
heavy buyers OF pig iron Of late.
Late Buying Expensive
Commenting upon the situation, the
Pittsburgh correspondent Of the New
York Times says:
''rhe high price Of finished steel has
caused the withdrawal OF several large
projects. In spite of this, quotations
continue to be advanced. Each pro-
Queer is making his own price AS
most OF the demand is from the East,
higher prices prevail near the sea-
board. Further west and south freight
rates influence prices. The railroads
are making inquiries for large tom
nages and in some instances orders
have been placed which would have
been welcomed last year and would
have saved these latter-day buyers
considerable money"

SCHOOL NOTES
FOOTBALL

There have been some deaths and a
number OF injuries on the football field
already, with the season young. Ecker
sail OF The Tribune sporting depart
ment writes that the damage has been
done mainly to boys not physically fit
for the game Public opinion may rot
consider that. and II the accidents con-
tinuethere may be renewal OF the de-
mand that the game be dropped from
collegiate sports.
This would be mistake prompted
by sentimentalism. Boys that are not
strong enough TO play the game ought
TO be kept out OF IL, but to attack the
game itself because II is rough or be-
cause IL may be dangerous is only TO
encourage the tendency towards soft
ness that does the American people no
good.
There is a neurasthenic philosophy
In this country which holds that the
chief aim of life must be the avoid
ance OF danger. II is spreading until II
has become confusing. The right to be
alive has a relation TO the importance
of living, and by the time a human be-
ing has given up major part Of
thought and act to precautionary
measures the resultant timidity at
least questions the value OF the life
thus safeguarded.
The worst fault of the philosophy is
that II nearly always defeats its own
object. II instills fear OF everything
from pin scratches to falling cornices.
and IL distorts reasonable code of
sane living with due attention to wise
counsels into terror which disorders
the mind and destroys the sould.
This terror is soft substitute for the
courage which disregards the prompt
ings OF timidity and does not have
room for the suggestions OF danger
Folly and courage have no relations
but neither have wisdom and timidlty
Football is not soft sport. II is not
a softening sport. II is tough game
demanding hardihood, endurance
strength. and courage. All the quail.
ties II requires are good The nation
needs them, and. IL needs things which
encourage and cultivate them.
