L. S. Steel in 1916 added over $780,
100000 to its surplus, sum sufficient
to pay dividends on the common stock
at the rate of $500 a share annually
for a period of about eight years. The
1916 surplus was almost as large as the
total surplus accumulated in the nine
preceding years.
Last year L. S. Steel showed a sur
plus available for comon dividends of
S4S.50 a share, or almost as large as the
total for the seven preceding years.
II is fact that the L. 5. Steel cor

MARRIED TO TREES IN INDIA

Under the very shadow Of the tele-
graph pole we lind the tree worship
peTs of India. Many kinds of trees
are lworshipped in India for many
kinds OF reasons Some are supposed
to be the abode Of demons who must
be propitiated. The sacred Bo tree
under which Buddha received enlight-
eminent is worshipped by pilgrims
who come in thousands. In some small
villages where there are more women
than men, il often happens that there
are no men OF equal caste to the girl
whose time has come to marry. Since
the tree represents a deity which can
assume any rank or caste, the parents
of a manageable daughter who has
become a burden to the family, take
her to the village tree-god and marry
her TO him. She is bound to the
tree. and left either to the mercy OF
the prowling wild beasts. or to be
rescued by the first male Of a lower
caste who is in search of a help
meet.-World outlook for February.

Anxiety regarding export prospects
for wheat was greatly sharpened by
the sinking of the British passenger

ing the chances of a wider breach be-
tween Germany and the United States
the loss of the vessel seemed TO be
taken by a majority Of traders as in
dicating that hopes of successful run
ming OF the submarine blockade had
perhaps been overestimated. Notice
that all Dutch ports had been closed
by orders of the Dutch ministry of

EXERCISE YOUR WILL

Let us keep ii in mind each day
that 4 weak will is the sign of inferi-
GRITTY; ii means that we belong to the
lower classes TO the weak and infer
Tor; and then remember that if we
remain weak and inferior it is not be-
cause we must but entirely because
we prefer to; and remember that we
can become one Of the intelligent rul-
ing class if we choose. Let us set our
selves certain tests of will and re-
member to let them be tests not tasks
Let us throw away, if we can. all SOM
Der ideas of DUTY and all ideas of our
weakness being sinful Perhaps it
might be accounted so by those of a
