oIibwsy Realty Co.

The Ojibway Realty Co., Ltd, q
Canadian corporation, is one Of the
largest concerns operating In Glib
way. This firm handles only It's
own property. r. j. wirtz. president
OF the company. says: THE United
States Steel corporation is entering
Canada with large plant for the
same reason that 143 branches of
American manufacturers have locat-
ed In Windsor---for the purpose of
making money. You probably know
that Canada has high protective
tariff which, on steel and iron pro-
ducts. runs from $3.50 to 81 q ton
with an additional Is per cent war
duty at present. In 1912 Canada re.
ceived over $120.o00,000 worth of
steel and iron goods from the Unit
ed States. The United States Steel
corporation produced approximately
80 per cent OF these goods. You can
readily see what It must cost the
company In duty alone. Now, by
bringing in the raw material, iron
ore. coal and sandstone and manu-
featuring these products into iron
and steel in O1ibway. this duty will
be saved.
Property values In Ojibway are
much higher since. the steel COM
pany has begun active operations.

Dry Prospects,.

One hundred years of continu.
Gus rainfall records have recently
been completed in New Bedford,
Mass, and serve to disprove
thoroughly the common belief
that the climate is not so good
as it used to be. Only half as
many dry periods occurred in the
last fifty years ds in the first fifty
years so that the records really
are warning for that section at
least, to expect more periods in
the next generation. The re-
cent decades have been fortunate
above the average, and conse-
quently the next few decades are
quite likely to pay the bill.
The records were started in
1914 by Samuel Rodman, and
continued by him until his death
in 1876. His son then kept them
uutil his death, in 1905. For
more than ninety-one years the
rainfall was carefully recorded
for exactly the same spot in the
same yard. The chief engineer
OF the State Health Department
has completed the hundred years
OF figures by obtaining the late
records from another observer in
New Bedford. taken a few miles
from the Rodman place.
The average annual rainfall |
was 40. As inches but in the first
fifty years there were four very
marked dry periods of two or
three years each. In the last
fifty years there were only two
such dry periods.

Rural School Appro priatien for

At the last regular session of

Of 5000. 100000 was appropriated
for frightening the terms in the
rural schools throughout the
State. Shenandoah County's
share of that appropriation for
this year is S2,2SO.OO. This
money must be used only for
lengthening the terms of these
schools providing they can main
tain a proper average.

lied in that grand flower. the

Snapdragons are so easy to
