SHIP CONTRACTS

Cleveland, March 27.-Cleveland
lake ports are experiencing the
greatest ship building boom in years.
Ship yards and drydocks are work
ing day and night. Employees, most
ly skilled, are scarce, and wages are
10 to Is per cent higher than in
past years. About s27,000,0O0 is
invested in contracts in Great Lakes
ship yards for vessels to be delivered
within the next two years. said H.
C. Estep, editor OF marine trade
paper here. "Sixty-siX ships have
been contracted for by Great Lakes
companies. Four companies will
deliver the bulk of these ships::> The
American Shipbuilding Co.; Great
Lakes Engineering Co.; Toledo Ship
building Co., and the Mantiowac Dry
Dock and and Shipbuilding Co.
"a large part of the ships con-
tracted for will be used on salt wat
er. These must not be, more than
261 feet over all, so they can pass
through the Welland canal.
Eight great coo foot bulk cargo
boats have been ordered for 1916 de-
livery and will be used in the iron
ore trade" A. G. Smith,, general
manager of the American Shipbuild-
ing Co., states that all but nine OF
the 26 ships his firm has promised to
deliver within the next two years
are destined for salt water, trade.
The Toledo Shipbuilding Co., is
working on five schooners to be us
ed in. the Atlantic coast trade.

Trilliums Out.

Trilliums-the first flower OF
spring in this section-are out! Chill
dren are floeking to the woods to
gather this dainty white three pet
aled flower. Properly speaking, the
Pasque flower is the first flower OF
spring in this section of Iowa, but
the native sod which is the only spot
wherein this flower fourishes, is
nearly gone. There may be a few
specimens of the beautiful furry
lavender colored cup which lifts its
head only few inches from the
ground amid the SHOWS and cold
winds of March and early April, but
they are now seldom found. The
deep leaf mold of the woods each
spring, however, yields thousands OF
|trilliums which possess delicate
|sweet fragrance known to no other
wild flower. Some call them Wake
Robins, others Easter flowers, but
the botanical name is ''trillium-
or three leafed-and they smell as
Sweet by one name as another.
