MERELY ONE MORE HORROR

IT, HE Ancona case is but another war horror added
l. to the already long list. From standpoint
of humanity il is nexcusable as most things which
have occurred during this entire war are inexcus-
able.
By the rules OF war, as laid down by newer
presidents, the bulk Of the testimony Of the passen-
gers seems to point to the fact that the Ancona tried
to escape thereby technically justifying the sub
marines act II is best to reserve judgment upon
this point until the mass of conflicting evidence is
officially sifted.
The significant thing, the most deplorablc, Is
the manner in which the tidings have been received
in neutral countries The sinking Of the Lustania
Mortified the world; storm Of protest and expos
tulaton arose which re-echoed from pole to pole.
The sinking of the Ancona, hardly less grievous,
barely provokes a thrill of indignation.

statement as false.

MOVING PIC IRON WORTH
OVER A MILLION DOLLARS
HAD BEEN IN YARDS IN BRISTOL
FOR SEVEN YEARS BECAUSE
OF Low PRICE.
WILL RESUME OPERATION
or IT'S MANY FURNACES AND
q ROLLING MILLS.

BRISTOL, /TENN.-The Virginia
Iron. Coal & Coke company of Bris-
tol is now moving about $l,0OO,0OO
worth of pig iron which it has held
on it's yards in this city since 1908
on account of the low price of met
ais. The company closed down its
furnace and rolling mills in Bristol
in November, 1908, with $1,000,00
worth OF pig iron on its yards. The
company has refused to sell the pig
iron until it could get what it con-
sidered a fair price, and consequent
ly has held it for seven years. De-
spite the loss of interest on the large
sum of money tied up in the pig iron,
it is said that as a result of the in
creased price of the product the COM
pany will be more than repaid for
holding the iron, rather than to have
sold it on the market that has existed
during the past seven years.
1t is understood that the company
will shortly resume operation of its
furnace and rolling mills in this city

Worry never transformed a rag

who possesses rag doll doesn't

impossible. She clothes the shape
less doll with an individuality thar
makes it dearer to her than any other
doll could be on first acquaintance,
and fancy provides a yesture that is
as beautiful as any garb the milliner
might suggest. These feats offer no
obstacles to childish fancy. But too
often the adult mind lacks this pleas
Il ing faculty. 1t is eminently practi-
cal, and ofte nunhappy nearly all the
time.
Children are happy because dream
ing comes so easy to them, and their
dreams are so easy of realization,
while adults fear to dream because
they scarcely know when dreams
come true.
| Yet there are many who do not re-
fuse to drea mbecause age has crept
upon them and they have been forced
to put away many childish things.
Some have the happy faculty of RE-
tanning the faith and the vision OF
childhood and to them life never
loses all it's rainbow hues. They
dream of fruitful fields ripening in
barren places, refusing to see the
difficulties that lie in the way, ano
thus deserts are made to bloom ano
