PAID IN ADVANCE.

How dear to my heart
Is the steady subscriber,
Who pays in advance
At the birth of each year;
Who lays down the money
And does it quite gladly,
And casts round the office
A halo of cheer.
He never says stop it;
| cannot afford it
Pm getting more papers
Now than | can read"
But always says: Send it;
Our people all like it,
In fact, we all think
The Sun is a need"
How welcome his check
When it reaches our sanctum,
How it makes our pulse throb,
How it makes our heart dance;
We outwardly thank him,
We inwardly bless him
The steady subscriber
Who pays in advance.

canada's LARGE Park.

Canada's new park of 95 square
miles in British Columbia is hig to
some ideas, but is really small COM
pared with other American play
grounds" Until recently the Yellow
stone reservation, Wyoming, compris-

was the largest park in the world, but
its glory has been eclipsed during the
last five years by the reservation Of
Jasper park. Saskatchewan. which
boasts 5000 square miles.

NEW FORD PROCESS
GIVES CHEAPER IRON
Single Heating Method Also
Turns Out q Finer and
Stronger Product.
DETAILS KEPT SECRET

DETROIT. oct t6-The announcement
of the Ford Motor Company officials
that gray and maileable iron OF the
highest grade will be made at their
plant direct from the ore heralds the
accomplishment of that which hith-
erto has been regarded as impossible.
Not only has this fine gray and MALE
able iron been produced directly from
the initial heat OF the blast
furnace but the iron made In
this Manner. according TO the
Ford engineers. is Of finer quality and
of more strength than the old iron made
from the blends Of the blast furnace
products. Gray and mslleable iron with
"a test of $4,000 to 10000 pounds TO the
square inch Is regarded as good iron.
That which has been produced by the
Ford organization has "A test Of $4,000
pounds.
Heretofore the process Of producing
finished gray or malleable iron was sur
rounded with uncertainty and complca-
tions, which is shown by the blast furnace
yards being stocked with great guam
titles of different kinds OF iron-tho
varied product Of that furnace. Tho
yards of the foundries also show the
accumulation of large quantities Of diff
ferent kinds OF iron. which must be Sc
lected from TO obtain somewhere meas
q given product in finished gray iron
or malleable castings.
Ford starts Expertments.
Several months ago MI. Ford. toseth-
er with some of his manufacturing or
ganization. was visiting a Few OF the
large iron and steel industries of tho
East when the question arose why II
was necessary to reheat and remelt the
products Of the blast furnace, the irst
conversion OF iron ore.
"Is II not possible TO get the kind of
iron you want directly without the
waste Of that initial heat?" was Mr..
Ford's inquiry.
Thereupon he was informed that Il
'couldn't be done
Mr.. Ford smiled and. turning to his
engineer, said because II has not been
doue Is all the more reason why We
should try. &c to it,"
To get all these elements reduced with
the initial heat and at the same time
retain the desirable properties was the
problem given to the Ford organisation.
The organization went TO work quietly
here in Detroit. The process was more
than a laboratory affair. sixteen tons OF
iron was used in the initial trials.
BY and by the results showed the
same. as when Mr.. Ford was informed
that A light car would not be a sue

matters.

This Is only one instance OF State

sample of the length to which the South
western states ave gone In attempting
TO cripple the earning power of their

"A factor which has been much com
