The placing of an order for 10000

tons continue to be about IS per
cent of ingot capacity, the same as
for the preceding week. Pig iron
production in February was 1 $780,
592 tons, a gain of 1868 tons,
compared with January. The
number of stacks in blast shows an
increase of IA. Increased produc-
ton is due almost entirely to great
er activity of steel works or non
merchant furnaces.
Somewhat more definite assur-
ance of shipments of ferro -mangan-
csc from England are being given,
but it is evident that shipments
will be limited. The Steel Cor
poration is taking care of some of
its competitors who are short of
supplies of ferro-manganese. This
liberal policy is being highly COM
mended.

Walter Grudnosky and Paul

are in the city soliciting members
for the branch of the order to be
organized in this city. Mr.. Grud-

Bounty for Rats

Owing to the constantly increas-
ing number of rats in the city the
city council at its last meeting
decided to offer a bounty for their
determination. The sum of SC
each will be paid upon presentation
of the tail of the rodent to the city
clerk. Up to two years ago a rat
was an unknown pest in this
country. 1t seems that they came
in from the south by way of the
lumber camps.
The boys now have a chance to
get little change in the rat killing
business besides Kidding the city of
the pesky critters.

European war still make up a very
large percentage of the machine
tool business being booked by
American plants, an encouraging
feature is the more liberal buying
by the railroads. The Santa Re,
Erie and several other lines have
made purchases during the past
few days. There is much excite
ment concerning the placing of
orders for export and reported
orders for shells make a tremen-
dous aggregate. Some Cincinnati
manufacturers of lathes are COM
planning of a shortage of labor.

Taken to Duluth

Jos. LeMars, an aged man who
has been living on his farm in the
White Iron lake country was taken
to Duluth yesterday by a deputy
sheriff to be examined as to his
mental condition. LeMars has
been showing advanced signs of
being unbalanced for some time
and grew constantly worse. He
has been living on the farm alone
and in his solitude has brooded
over religious matters until he be-
came mentally unfit to care for
himself. Nothing is known as to
his relatives.

Living Within Your Income

Credit is dead. Bad pay. killed
it. Live within: your income and
credit will live. Good pay will
keep it alive, says an exchange.
1t seems hard to live within a
limited income, yet people do it..
They exist on the bare necessities.
They realize that poverty is a
cherries companion. Yet they
live within their income. They
look the world in the face fearless
ly.
The temptation to spend is great.
They can spend because credit is
always easily obtained even by the
most unworthy. But credits, in
the long run, a nemesis of worry,
the destroyer of peace and happi-
ness. Debt is a tyrant, relentless
and obdurate.
Pay as you go and you will be
happy. 1t may seem impossible.
Try it.
Debt is the secret foe of thrift.
The debt habit is the twin brother
of poverty.
The first step in debt, said a
wise philosopher, is like the first
step in falsehood, involving the
necessity of going in the same
course, debt following debt, as lie
follows lie.
A man who owes a little can
discharge his obligation in a short
time, il he applies himself, and if
he is prudent and sensible this is
what he will do. The man who
by long negligence owes a great
deal despairs of ever being able to
pay up, and therefore never looks
into his accounts at all and never
cares.
In this day of high cost of living
it seems reckless advice to offer to
live within your income, but do it
if you can. for the sake of your
future and for the sake of your
self-respect and peace of mind.
The story from Brooklyn of a
woman who has kept family of
four in comfort on her husbands
income of ten dollars a week and
looks bravely toward the future, in
spite of the recent arrival of twins
in the household, making six to
feed, clothe and house, should be
pondered upon by the administra-
tors of public budgets. The
woman has lived within her in
come. She counted every penny in
advance in a manner that pre-
cludes miscalculation. No deficits
appeared at the end of the year.
1t is lesson for heads of house
holds and is a lesson, also, to
public officials who, in spite of the
generous appropriations placed at
their disposal, are continually ap-
pealing for additional revenues.
Thank Providence the Brooklyn
family are not typical of the aver
age. Few able-bodied men earn
as little as ten dollars week, but
there are many families in every
community that can keep within
their income if they exercise strict
economy.-Exchange.

compose the first line fleet. Their heaviest
armament consists of 10 and l2-inch guns.
but they form an efficient fighting force,
and outclass most of the ships in the
Austrian navy. They were completed dur
ing the period from 1905 to 1901.
In the second line of Italy's naval force
are seven battleships of the second class,
five of which carry 10-inch guns on their
main batteries.
Among the older Italian armored ships
which might be used 10 lombard weaker
forts are three battleships of the 1890
type. They are of comparatively heavy
displacement, 5000 tons, and carry old
style l3-inch rifles. They are, however,
obsolete in many respects and very slow.
Many modern destroyers are being COM
pleted at the Italian shipyards, while 46
are in commission. Seventy-hve torpedo
boats and 20 submarines are also in COM
mission, and more submarines are in
course of construction. Mine layers and
transports complete the fleet which some
experts believe should be ranked ahead
of Russias and perhaps Japans. At any
rate, It is a most effective fighting force
and one to be Teckoned with.

Although ranking fifth among the Pow
ers of continental Europe in numerical
military strength and seventh as a world
naval Power, Italy is really stronger than
bare statistics indicate. Its army is well
trained, its navy modern, while the expe-
rlence received by the general staff,
commissary and other departments in the
war against the Turks in Trpoli greatly
increased their efficiency.
Italys total war strength Is $3.50 200,
made up of the regular army of 3O6 900
and weI-trained reserves. in addition,
there are nearly half a million men in
the country who have had no military
training, but who are available for mill
tary duty in emergencies. Italian cav
airy is considered superior to any in
Europe, while special frontier troops of
hardy mountaineers bar the nations

merically weaker than those of Austria,
