Don't Get Lost

Now that the big game season is
near at hand and the tendency to
get lost in the woods is great, a
writer on the subject has given out
few rules that will be beneficial.
He says that getting lost is largely
mental condition. Keep your
head cool and the body warm.
Save your energies.
Don't try to run. Don't travel
aimlessly at night.
If you are off the road or trail !;
use the compass and travel straight.
If you have no compass, break
brush and back sight, keeping two
or more in line, etc. If you are
not an experienced woodsman, use
your compass often to note your
general direction. If you are IN
mature timber without compass,
you can pick up and follow a
section line to a corner-then fol-
low the crossing lines north, south,
east or west. You can almost
always find habitations by follow
ing down the stream they
cross either roads or railroads nine
times out of ten.
If you must summon help by
firing your gun-do so after night
fall as your shots viii then attract
and command attention. If you
find you must stay out over night,
prepare early. Get plenty of
wood, dry if possible. Green birch
is necessary. Dry white pine stubs
furnish fine fuel. Build rough
shelter of evergreen boughs-it' S
great to stop the wind. If the
weather is cold. keep moving about
your fire to keep up your circula-
ton. If you have no fire, walk
around a tree. If two men are
together. don't separate. Keep up
your spirits and use care to avoid
accidents. The ordinary man will
take about 500 steps to every mile
Watch for direction signs at
road corners and camps"

TWO DAYS
Hunters Cannot Secure Big Game
Licenses Until Monday

Because Sunday falls on Nov. 7
this year, an interesting situation
has arisen relative to the opening
of the season when it is lawful to
hunt big game.
According to the Minnesota laws,
hunting licenses for deer and moose
can be purchased three days before
the opening of the season. Sunday.
Nov. 7, is the third day before the
opening of the season, but because
of the fact that it is Sunday,
licenses. to be legal, would have to
be sold either the day before, Nov.
6, which " ould leave four days be-
fore the opening of the season; or
Nov. 8 would have to be chosen,
which would leave but two days
before the opening.
A written opinion has been re-
ceived from c. H. Hilton, assistant
attorney general, which sets forth
Monday. Nov. 8, as the first day
when licenses can legally be sold.
AS result local hunters will have
but two days in which to reach
their destinations.
A. S. James will again issue
hunting licenses this year.

STEEL MARKET
No Dividend ON Steel Common.
Many Foreign Orders

In addition to the enormous
volume of foreign demand, domes-
tic iron and steel business is in
creasing, says Chas. Skillings in
his News letter. Railroads are
buying more equipment, it being
estimated that orders for fully TO-
600 cars were placed last week.
The New York Central system is
understood to have guilty pur-
chased some 5000 freight cars. the
Western Maryland has taken 1000
and other roads have placed good
sized contracts. The Norfolk &
Western has purchased IS, 900 tons
of plates and shapes for car build
ing in its shops.
Russia has added another 1000
tons to her rail takings, this ton
mage having been placed with the
Carnegie Steel Co. Russia also has
placed a new order with Pressed
Steel Car Co. for $500 freight
cars.
Orders for barbed wire are going
begging, manufacturers not having
capacity to ensure nearby deliver
les. One buyer, who wanted 2, 500
tons of barbed, found that he could
not get delivery this year without
paying a premium of about $40 a
ton above the market.
Many companies are going slow
about accepting orders running in
to second quarter of 1916, and are
even finicky about the business
they take for the first quarter.
There is one big independent how
ever, that has sold up its capacity
until the middle of next year.
The directors of the United
States Steel Corporation, at their
meeting after the close of business
Tuesday, took no action on the
common dividend, but declared the
regular quarterly dividend of ~
per cent on the preferred.
Net earnings were S3S,71O .644
for the third quarter. compared
with $27, ,95O,O55 in the preceding
quarter.
The fact that the directors de-
clared nothing on the common did
not surprise Wall Street, but net
