a splendid military record IN the
Philippines. At the head of the brave

laurels and further promotions In the
early days of Muskogee he was one OF
the leading spirits in the initiation OF en-
terprises for the public good. He was
the principal promoter and first presi-
dent of the street car system and also
rendered valuable service to this com
munity through his activity in behalf OF
navigation on the Arkansas river in the

The quarantine established through

to guard against the possible bringing
in of the germs of infantile paralysis
from the infected regions of Greater
New York, should commend itself as a
wise precaution. 1t is easier to head
off trouble than to pursue it after it has
secured a start, and Vermont's eXper-
fence with the mysterious disease has
been sufficiently distressing to put her

General opinion in Steel trade is that

high as S100,0o0.000 but to reach the
latter figure shipments would have to
be made on basis of IS ton in excess
of the average in preceding quarter.
Shipments were somewhat less in third
quarter due to hot weather which gen
orally interferes with output.
In view Of present high Steel prices
net earnings Of more than S95,00O.0OD
