ANDREW Carnegie first attracted at
tention by using his head to think

operator on the Pennsylvania railroad
under Colonel Thomas A. Scott. One
morning a series of wrecks tangled up
the line. Colonel Scott was absent and
young Carnegie could not locate him.
Things looked bad.
Fright then Carnegie disregarded one

THIS tremendous uplift in prices hits
everyone, rich as we'll as poor. Indeed
it hits the rich the good livers harder
than anyone else for they have been
accustomed to lavish outlay for their
living and it is mighty difficult for
them to come down in the scale of eX-
penditure. The wife pleads the social
position of the family in society; the
children scout the fathers plea that he
cant afford" their expenditures any
longer. The poor and those of the
middle class have not forgotten some
of the old time economies they used to
practice when they were first trying to
get started and they can more easily
convince the children of the necessity
of getting down to ''hard tacks.' 1t
is very difficult for the rirh family,
young and old, to let plain, common
sense rule. But there is another high
cost that society in general is not
thinking about very much. That is the
High Cost of Business. Every factory.
every manufacturer knows it, under
stands it. The price of all raw mater
ial has advanced enormously. So has
the price of labor. The rich manufac-
turer finds his profits swallowed up in
this high cost of doing business. The
laboring men who depend on him for
their living should consider this last
great cost that no measure of economy
will offset very much. Fort Atkinson

TOBACCO MARKET

NEW YORK, Nov. %, 1916.

NEW Jim, WV. ~, 4S4O.
Again some extremely large trans
actions are reported in Wisconsin to-
bacco, and the demand for Connecticut
Shadegrown continues, as well as for
the new Florida wrappers. However,
these phases of activity are seasonal,
and they are not typical of the general
market situation. Almost every type
of tobacco is being held at extremely
high prices, anG the high prices have
undoubtedly discouraged the manufac-
turers from buying. There is no rea-
son to believe that prices for standard
types of cigar leaf tobacco will be
cheaper at any early date, but the ire
mendous outlay necessary to buy in
any quantity seems to have deferred
the manufacturers. Leaf.
Battle Elephants.
One of the most terrifying engines
Of war" of ancient times was the bat
tie elephant employed by Pyrrhus,
Alexander's cousin, in the first of the
famous "Pyrrhic victories" over the
Romans Twenty of these huge beasts
were used against the enemies of the
Tarentines at the battle Of Heraclea in
2SO B. c.. The strange moving noun
tains of flesh caused wave Of fear to
sweep over the Romans, and they fed
from the field of carnage, but after one
experience with the animals their cour-
age returned, and henceforth the war
elephant was more Of curiosity than
an effective engine.
