Fresh Influx Buying by Large Con-
sumers

A stronger market situation has de-
yeloped in the steel trade of late. That
is attributed TO a fresh influx OF buying
by some of the large consumers follow
ing recent declines in quotations OF
many materials.
The average price OF eight leading
steel products advanced As cents ton
during the week An increase OF
$500 per gross ton in the price of tank
plates was, however, responsible for
the bulk OF the gain in the general
average. Bessemer billets decline 81

A fair volume OF new steel business
is being placed and the arrangements
OF the various mills report that they
are booked up for months ahead II is
intimated, for example, that the entire
rail capacity OF the United States Steel
corporation Is sold up to the middle OF
1917, and II is thought by some au-
thorities that within sixty days the
whole rail mill capacity of the country
for the next year will have been con-
tracted for Following the recent
closing OF the $4,000 ton Russian rail
order, the British and Italian govern
ments are inquiring the rails.
Manufacturers of agricultural i'm
plements have come into the market
with heavy orders, IL is being estamat-
ed that contracts for $4,000 tons OF
materials hate been placed during the
last few days. deliveries to made in
IN first six months of next year.
Another striking feature in export
trade was the booking of an order from
Russia at the end of last week for 1861
900 tons OF barbed wire, and the other
allies are said to be in the market for
10000 tons. Pittsburg steel mills
report an export inquiry for 10000
rounds of ammunition for Great Bri-
tain, but they were compelled to turn
II down on account of being unable to |
make the deliveries wanted. Canadian |
buyers are endeayoring to make con-
tracts for shell forgoings for 1917 de-

Congressman James couldn't resist
temptation to leave Washington al
this time to attend the annual fire
mems tournament at Hancock this week
and look over his fences. which by the
way are in excellent repair lie has
worked hard and has won enyiable dis
tinction for first termer in congress,
that insures his denomination without
effort upon his part. His record has
also placed him IN the running for the
II. = senatorship. James resembles
the late President Mckinley, facially,
TO a remarkable degree, and he is
showing political characteristics that
are akin to those shown by Ohio's
favored son of several decades ago.
The politician that Is fearless, that
does the right thing even II II appears
10 be an unpopular course, and that
sis not afraid OF the ears, is about his
political future. The pussy-footed
gentry that think they must strife
conscience, that attempt TO straddle
issues until they give good examples
OF the Colloss us OF Rhodes that malign
and misrepresent men that have the
temerity 20 call attention TO their
shortcomings. are not as popular as
they used TO be, and within a decade
such men will not be able TO be elected
10 the Office OF the poundmaster i'm a
rural community. The times demand
men OF strong personality, and men
that are not afraid to express their
honest opinions and who do not attept
70 ride two horses at one time. James
is living example of the ew sort of
politician that has arrived" and bids
fair TO stay in the ring for an indefinite
time. The only regret OF the Pioneer
Tribune is that II has the honor of first
exploiting him for congressional hon
ors. but that the gerrymanded has rob
bed the editor OF the privilege of yot-
ing for him However, there is deal
OF satisfaction in the fact that the
Pioneer Tribune's first estimate of
James ability has been verified amply
by his record in congress.

A Pure Bred Sire Law For

y petition is now in the hands
of several of the Southwest

eral Assembly from the stock
raiser of that section OF the
state to pass n law in harmony
with the constitution and other
laws of the STATE to prohibit
the charging OF service fee
for any sire excepta pure bred
This would apply With equal
force to horses, cattle, sheep,
hogs, etc. At present any one
vino wishes can obtain Il license
to keep q stallion or bull and
miro his services to his leigh
bors MT his own price. The per
son who issues the license may
know nothing OF the breeding
or individual qualities Of the
animal for which the license is
issued except what the owners
may tell him and the owner
may know little or nothing of
the breeding Of the animal
The idcn is still prevalent
among many OF our farmers
that mixed or cross bred sire
if II good individual, is as sure
of transmitting his good quail
ties az a pure bred. This has
long been proven untrue by
good stock men all over the
world The longer a strain of
animals have been bred along
certain lines the more firmly are
their qualities fixed and the
more firmly fixed these qualities
the more surely will they be
transmitted to the offspring.

"wooDcRAFT" IN CITIES
How Much Do Town People Know
About Their Environments?
(Florida Metropolis.)


City woodcraft sounds paradoxical
until one accepts Mr.. Ernest Thomp-
son-Setons definition of woodcraft as
the adaptation of a man to his envir-
onment. He is trying TO encourage
city men to study their surroundings
as woodsmen do, and to learn through
their study to be resourceful in adapt
ing themselves to the circumstances
in which they live.
City folks settle too easily into rou-
tine and are notably unobservant of
things around them. Can you name,
in the correct order the stores or bus
mess places on any one block of your
town? Do you know how many kinds
OF trees there are in the block in
which you live? Can you name the
varieties and tell which is which?
How is your residence street
paved? Why was it paved that way
instead of some other way? Why are
poplar trees bad for city streets?
How does your town dispose of its
sewage? Its garbage? Is the dispos-
al satisfactory? Is it economical or
wasteful for the taxpayers?
If you had a fire in your house and
the fire department was out of com
mission, how would you go to work
to put 1t out? What ought you to
save first. after the family? What
would you do If your town were
struck by "A cyclone?
Why is a barber pole red and
white? Who is your health officer?
Why do you sprinkle ashes on ice?
Why salt?
That's a starter. IL you once begin
to observe things in your walk about
town and the neighboring country
you'll begin to find this "citycraft" as
thrilling as any detective story, and
quite as useful to yourself as the In
dams woodcraft is to him.
