No Weakness in Iron Market


 ''It is very encouraging to note the continued improvement in railroad earnings, practically every road show ing substantial gains from July, 1915. to January 1, 1916, over the same period last year." say Rogers. Brown & Co.,, in their Cincinnati report. This improvement is being expressed in long delayed extensions and purchases of new equipment.
 "The Pennsylvania road announces that it will spend $4.000,O0O in exten- sions near Indianapolis to improve the Chicago to Indianapolis service. The Illinois Central has authorized the ex- penditure of $3,O00.O0O for new equip ment. Several roads are reported to be l feeling out the rail market, but it is feared that they will have great diff ] ficulty in securing delivery of any l rails this year, owing to the filled-up condition of the steel companies order books. The intuition manufacturers will soon have a new customer. France l appearing at the threshold of the mar ket ready to purchase 5.O00,000 shells.

His communication, which will be
widely discussed during the coming
weeks by the voters of South Dakota,
is as follows: - Is b.. Il

into the constitution a provision:
81. That no person shall, after the

beverage purposes any intoxicating
liquors, except as hereinbefore pro.
vided; and further, that no person
shall import from any other state or
country any intoxicating liquors or
any mixture or compound which in

DON'T BE A FOOL!-The man
who invented the word fools knew
that automobiles were going to be q
thing in the future. That's why he
brought the word forth.
Spend just one afternoon lodging
autos in Chicago streets and you will
agree that there are a lot of fools
running machines. They have no re-
gard for pedestrians, no idea of
speed limits, never keep the right
side Of the street and, in general,
carry an attitude of q Should
Worry"
It is a mighty good idea for every
one, driving an auto, old or young, to
do all of the Safety First stuff on his
own hook. Don't depend on the other
follow, for some day you'll run into
one of those fools. And because said
fools are such a menace to folks who
drive carefully, and to the public in
general, these few suggestions might
go well to help hold down accidents
and make auto driving and street
crossing safer:
Keep to the right.
Watch out for youngsters as well
as aged folks.
Slow down at crossings.
Light your lights when the time
comes. And if they are out of order
take the street car until you get 'em9
fixed.

Walking Empty Handed.

waking
1t is one of the regulations of the
British army that every soldier when
walking out must carry in his hand
stick in order to preserve a soldierly
appearance and prevent anything like
slouching in his gait.
This rule applies to all ranks, and
should any one seek to evade 1t he
would find his progress barred by the
sentry at the barrack gate or entrance
to camp.
Prvates generally carry light canes
or "swagger sticks" noncommissioned
oaicers fairly stout sticks, and officers
invariably go in for the more expensive
kind. 1t is a question that has often
been asked, Who first suggested the
idea? But nobody seems to know
From the earliest times drill SER

Savannah, Ga. - A youth eighteen
years old is living at the Georgia
School of Technology and acquiring an
education on 25 cents day. On the

on nearby lot, where he sleeps and
eats and cooks his own food. He pur-
