Trouble with most men, points out
the Ottawa Herald, is that they reach
the conclusion that it is wise to save
money at the wrong end of their ca
reers.
Something new in the hint line to
delinquent subscribers, by the Blue
Rapids Times: Man is dust; dust set
ties Be a man. How's your sub
scription?
Some progressive motor car builder
has built in little shelf seat for the
baby, notes the Fort Scott Tribune,
and it adds: That man never took a
baby motor-car riding.
A woman is never wholly contented,
asserts the Ottawa Journal. Even
though she may regard her children
as perfect, she can always imagine i'm

1t occurs to the Winfield Courier
that some of those people who are so
suspicious of the genuineness of bar
gain sales might still be willing to
patronize them if the merchants would
extend them further credit.
The state of Kansas is intensely in
terested in the big motor car show in
Kansas City. declares the Lawrence
Journal-World. So far, there is only
one car for every four families in the
state, and Kansas will want to raise
the average during 1916.

RUssIA,s LADY WARRIORS.

News that the women of Russia are
participating in considerable numbers
IN the actual fighting of the war sug-
gests a number of questions? Does
it mean that the Russian women are
more patriotic and valorous than their
European sisters; or more blood
thirsty? Or may it not mean that
the men of Russia are not as consid-
crate of their women folk as are the
men of the other belligerent countries.
Some of the enthusiasts over the war
like propensities of the Russian wom-
en- declare that their activities on the
battlefields as soldiers are likely to
win them the right to vote. And if
that should turn out to be the case.

that the millions of Russian men who
are sacrificing themselves on the altar
of war may also earn thereby the same
rights for themselves and all Russian

States Steel Corporation shows untitled
orders of over seven million tons, the
largest figure reported since 1918. 1t
seems certain that this year will es-
tablish a new high record in the pro-
duction of iron and steel There are
constant additions to our shipbuilding
plants and all of them are hives of
activity; for. with ocean freight rates
at their present level, ship can some
times earn it's entire cost in a single
round trip. The railroads were
the last important industry in the
country to show the effect of the re-
vival of trade, and they have shown it
least, while the prices for railroad Sc
curities on the exchanges have Jagged
far behind those for industrials. The
simple reasons for this are found in
the many repressiye laws of the last
few years and. even more Importantly,
in the rate situation. Ocean freight
rates have, under pressure of the law
of supply and demand, advanced from
500 to 700 per cent. Prices of several
metals and manufactured chemicals
have advanced as much. Steel and
iron products are sold at constantly
higher quotations. So standard a COM
modify as copper is now selling for
"a IL cents per pound, as against IL
cents before the boom set in. But
whatever the cost of their product or
whatever the demand for it, the rail-
roads cannot ask any more return for
it. 1t is in consequence of this situa-
ton that the railroad mileage con-
structed in 1915 is actually the small
est since 1864, and that in October
1915, a greater mileage of railroads
was in the hands of receivers in the
United States than at any time in our
history. With the outgo of the roads
increased constantly by advances in
wages and taxes and special prescrip-
tions of the state and national govern
ments, and with their earnings abso-
lutely restricted by both state and ma
tional authority, their income avail
able for interest and dividends has
tended to decrease during recent
years. Few people doubt that govern
ment regulation of railroads has come
to stay, and that much good has been
done through it. 1t is a fact, how
ever that investors will put money into
anything that looks hopeful rather
than railways.

MERCHANT MARINE QUESTION.

All sides to every question are enti-
tied to a hearing. And the govern
ment ownership and operation of mer-
chant vessels as urged by President
Wilson is rejected by the special com
mittee on merchant marine of the Bos-
ton Chamber of Commerce in it's re-
port recently published, THE Amer
lean Merchant Marine-What it Has
Been, What it Is, What it Ought to
Be" In place of government owner
ship, the committee recommends care
fully guarded subsidies sufficient to
offset the difference of operation be-
tween American and foreign vessels,
increased ocean mail pay to fast ships
on regular services, and a revision of
the navigation laws and regula-
tions so far as they unnecessarily
burden American ships. The subsi-
dies and mail pay are conditional on
fitness for auxiliary naval service in
time aof war.

PROSPERITY IN 1916.

the first week of January corporation

corresponding period of 1915. 1t is

gain which is represented by divi-
dends. $13,7OO,OO0 was paid to the
