NEW FLOOR MILL
 READY FOR WORK
Miss Leila Coles Pulls Whis- tie Cord When Steam Is
 Turned Into Kiln.

Miss Leila Coles had a pleasant and rather unusual thing to do yesterday evening when, promptly at o'clock, she pulled string that blew for the first time the big whistle at the new plant of the Arkansas Oak Flooring company, thus announcing to the world that the new plant is complet- ed and ready to start operations.
 The blowing of the whistle at the big new mill yesterday was celebrated by officers and employees of the mill as an occurrence of more than aordi- nary significance. The new mill is being operated by company with large capitalization, all paid in, and the largest stock!holder is Geo. M. Anson of Michigan, who was inter- tested in the business here by Howard Coles and James w. Reynolds, both expert hardwood men and both resi- dents of this city.
 Since the first announcement in The Graphic of the organization of the company, some months ago, the new concern has been losing no time, Ground was purchased, buildings erected, machinery installed, in rapid succession, and last evening the blowing of the whistle let Pine Bluff know that steam had been turned into the dry kilns, and that the mill l is in operation.
 The actual production of the finish cd output of the mill will not be started until April g or 26, however, it was stated last night. The dry kilns must first properly dry the lum-
 Der which has been stored therein, and this will take several days. The
 working force of the big mill has been completely organized, however, and everything is in readiness for every
 department of the plan to start opera tions as soon as the raw lumber is
 sufficiently dry.
 1 The plant will turn out 45.0O0 feet
 of oak flooring each day, employing
 about 50 skilled men. Anticipating an early increase in the demand for the
 product, the factory has been so con-
 structed that it's capacity may be,
 easily increased at any time. The
 business will be in charge of MT. Coles, with the selling end under tho
 direction of MT. Reynolds.

ORIGIN OF JUNE WEDDINGS
Ancient Romans Held the Belief That
Alliances Contracted In That Month
Were Fatsd TO Be Happy.

The first people to adopt the
month of June as sacred to Hymen,
the god of marriage, were the ancient
Romans, who considered June the
most propitious season of the year
for cnterilg upon matrimonial rcla-
tons The Romans held that June
wedding were likely to be happier
Than alliances contracted in any
other month Of the year, especially
if the day chosen were that of the
full roir or the conjunction Of the
sun and moon. They also held that
Of all months May was to be most
ave ded, as in that month newly
weds would come under the influence
Of spirits adverse to happy house.
holds. These ancient marriage SUI
perstitions were retained by the
Christians in the middle ages, and
even today June is considered by
many to be pre-eminently the month
of marriages. The word wedding"
is derived from the ancient Anglo
Saxon "wcd' custom. The "wed"
consisted of gifts, including a ring,
given by the bridegroom to the bride.
At the marriage ceremonies in those
times the father of the bride pre-
sented his son-in-law with one Of his
daughters shoes as a token of the
transfer Of authority, and the bride
was struck sharply on the head with
the shoe by her new spouse as a re-
minder that he was henceforth he
"boss."

FAIRGROUNDS.

do not know of any better way to
teach a boy to be honorable and
straight than to give him chance
to play with his comrades. In the
playground he learns without any
suggestion of rebellion against in
struction and precept and preaching.
He learns it because he does not want
anybody else to cheat him, and is
"down" on the boy that does not play
fair. And in the long run, because
be is ''down" on the boy that will
not play fair, he will establish
standards of conduct which we must
maintain in the community and par
ticularly in our great cities. If
there is one thing that we need more
than another it is the constant en-
phasis among our citizens of that
spirit of fair play, that willingness to
give and take, that generosity in de-

victory which we identify with true
sport, and which is learned best of
all in childhood upon the play

Has Great Advantages.

The Lake Superior country will
gradually develop into one of the
greatest manufacturing centers of
the United States" said Professor
]. A. Merrill Of the Superior Nor
NAL in addressing the convention
of the North Wisconsin Teachers
Association at Ashland on the
"Socializing Influence of Lake Su-
perior. "
Everything in the region adj
joining Lake Superior is favorable
for an unprecedented growth in
manufactures. The numbering
stage has almost gone out and the
ore stage is gradually but surely
replacing it. One great advantage
here in this north country is the
low freight rates. They are low
er than Chicago and the inland CT
ties, thereby making the cities bor-
dering on Lake Superior the great
manufacturing centers. Four-fifths
of the first grade iron ore in North
America is mined here, and nine
tenths of all the second grade ore
produced in the United States is OBJ
tanned in the ranges in the Lake
Superior region. Ore can be sent
to the East from Lake Superior
ports cheaper than from other ci-
ties and coal can be secured at a
comparatively low rate. These ad-
vantages will ultimately tend to a
greater development of this coun-
try.
Then the climate in the Lake Su-
perior region Is. very favorable for
the luxuriant growth of great va
rietv of crops. We have longer
growing season than other places
/ in the state. Our growing season
/ is 144 days each year. Ashland
has a growing season of two weeks
/ longer than Superior. In the nexi
/ 90 to 100 years this region III the
estimation of geolc9ists will be
come the greatest manufacturing
center of the country.

OLD RESIDENT CALLED.
Mrs. John Meade Passed Away Tues
day at the Home of Her Son
at Ripe Old Age.

Mrs. John Meade, for more than
twenty years a resident of Montre-
al, passed away Tuesday at the
home of her son, Henry, in Hur-
ley, at the age of 79 years. Her
death was caused from the infirmi
ties of old age. She had been in
failing health for about a year, but
not until a few weeks ago was she
compelled to take to her bed.
Susan Herlikey was born at Nc
Crome, County of Cork, Ireland
Sept. 20, 1886. When she was 10
years of age her parents immigra-
ted to this country and settled in

gOn county, Michigan. In Febru-
ary, 1859, she was united in mar
riage to John Meade, at Greenland
Nine children were born of this
union, seven of whom are living
In August, 1896, Mr.. and Mrs.
Meade and family gave up their
residence at Greenland and moved
to Montreal, where Mr.. Meade eE-
gagged in the grocery business and
operated the store until he dispos-
ed of it to his son, Joseph, the pre-
sent owner. Following his retire
ment from active business life Mr..
Meade came to Hurley to make his
home and died here about six years
ago. Mrs. Meade made her home
at Montreal with her daughter,
Mrs. Sullivan, until a short time
ago, when she took up her resi-
dence with her son Henry. The

INCREASED ACTIVITY IN STEEL.
Leading Iron and Steel Companies of
America Are New Working
Plants to Capacity.

FROM the steel CenterS or the
east it is reported that hundreds of
additional men have been taken on
during the past week. Operations
are now said to have reached al
most capacity basis in many lines,
and some of the companies are
turning down orders for delivery
for the first quarter of next year,
in the belief that higher prices will
prevail later.
One of the oldest operators at
Pittsburgh has expressed himself
as follows upon the situation:
The net earnings of the various
steel companies over the next six
months, in my opinion, will exceed
the expectations of the most opti-
mistic. For the first time in its
history, the United States Steel
corporation is getting the benefits
in the way of earnings from its en-
larged capacity. 1t is getting only
fair prices at present, but before
the close of the year the margin of
profit will be as wide as it was in
its best years. l predict that with
in the next three months United
States Steel will be earning at the
rate of $225 900, 900 a year.
This would mean close to 80
per cent for the common stock.
Even if the Steel corporation takes
no action on the common dividend
at the next meeting. the sharehold-
ers will have their equity i'll all this
cash which is available for either
dividends or new construction.
What is regarded as, perhaps,
the most satisfactory development
in the steel trade at present is the
appearance of heavy buying by the
railroads. Contracts for about 20,-
600 tons of steel for railroads are
reported to have been closed in the
East during the last few days and
several of the large systems are
making inquiries for cars. The
placing, by the Baltimore & Ohio
railroad, of an order for o., 500
tons of rails is thought to presage
rail buying by other lines. There
are estimated to be definite inquir-
les in the market for 4 500 cars,
and such roads as the New York
Central, Pennsylvania and Reading
are said to be figuring on consider
able new equipment.
With conditions as they are,
prices are advancing Some of the
Eastern steel makers are now quot
ing 81 As, Pittsburgh, on bars,
plates and structurals. This is an
advance of 81 a ton over the mini
mum, recently made by the lead
ing makers. Forging billets at
Pittsburgh have been advanced
from S33 to $34 a ton, iron bars
from 81 to 81 SO per 100 pounds,
Philadelphia, and steel hoops from
81. 40 to SIS per ton, Pittsburgh
At Chicago, the price of cast iron
pipe has been advanced 81 a ton.
The large amount of vessel work,
coming forward in the East, is said
to have done much to stiffen the
plate market
BUYERS for the European govern
ments are now endeavoring to place
fresh orders for early 1916 delivery
and they are encountering rising
markets on all sides, France is
said to have held back large require
meuts for the first half of next year
which must soon be placed. Italy
has been asking for bids upon barb
