Alabama, Is the center. then the won
der Is who will take over that prop
erty and where the millions which are
could be obtained.
Throughout the South no COM
plant has been made that the con-
troll of this great property by the
Steel Corporation has resulted in
monopolistic injustice. Instead this
control has led to remarkable de-
velopment of the properties and the
Steel Corporation managers are
looking forward to the day when.
after the war, there will be a very
great increase in the markets for
the commodities manufactured by
this corporation, especially in South
America and in many parts of the
industrial South.
It is the opinion that the distance
between the large Northern plants
of the United States Steel Corpora
ton and the plants of the Tennes-
see Coal and Iron Company Is so
great that monopolistic control
would be Of no avail and of no ad-
vantage. Moreover it has now been
demonstrated that the Steel Corpo-
ration is not a monopoly. for there
are several Independent corpora
tons which are prospering greatly
and which maintain reasonable COM
petition in some lines with the
United States Steel Corporation.
However, the action of the Har-
vester company in yielding to the
government tends strongly to the
opinion that the time will not be
long before the Sherman law will
be so amended or modified as to
make 1t possible to maintain co-op-
Grafton. coordination and combina-
tion under government regulation.
so that while the public Is protect
ed. there will be great economies
established in the manufacture and
marketing of industrial products.

W0RDSWORTH'S EARLY HOME
House in English Village of Cocker
mouth, Where Poet Was Born,
Is Still Standing.

C0ckermouth is one of those Eng
lish villages of the lake region where
you feel that you would like to spend
your declining years in a cottage with
the inevitable English ivy and a gar
den decorated with borders of peri
Wrinkle and other old-fashioned flowers.
A river following a twisted course
through Cockermouth completes the
peaceful, back-to-nature atmosphere Of
the village.
You might easily spend some time
in Cockermouth before you discovered
that it was WordswOrth's birthplace.
The historic home is still standing, the
same stolid, substantial British resi-
dence where the poet spent the greater
part of his boyhood.
The house is decidedly a home for a
student of books and not at all the sort
which Wordsworth, the nature devotee,
would have chosen in which to grow
up. The yard and garden, however,
make up for the unpoetic gray stone
walls. 1t is a shady yard, surrounded
by low stone fence.
The Wordsworth house is not a
shrine for the literati to inspect and
write verses of appreciation on the
walls, or sign their names in ledger
along with the autographs of famous
visitors and tourists. 1t is a quiet
home, as in the poets day, home
which you would pass a dozen times
without suspecting it had been the
birthplace of such a famous person.

FIRMLY BELIEVE IN CHARMS
Impossible to Shake Faith of Inhabi-
tants of Some Parts of Rural
England.

Superstition dies hard, and in the
out-of-the-way rural districts of Eng
land the people still have firm be-
lief in herbs and charms as a cure for
their various ills.
In Cheshire, perhaps, such supersti-
lions are most numerous, and native
will tell you that hedgehOgs are use
full in the cure Of epilepsy, that oint-
ment should never be applied with the
first finger, as that one is venomous,
and that a child's nails should never
be cut during the first year Of it's life,
or it will grow up light fingered.
Most curious, however, are the cures
recommended for whooping cough. A.
lock of hair should be cut from the
sufferers head, and put into a hole
bored in the bark Of a mountain ash,
after which the hole should be closed.
The whoop will vanish in three days
under this treatment.
Many strange cures are suggested
for ague. In Lincolnshire, for instance,
the method is very elaborate. The suf-
ferer should get up at sunrise on the
first day Of the month, making sure
his pockets are empty, take a carving
knife that he has bought and used him.
self, plunge it into an ant hill, and
twist the knife as many times as he
has had fits. Then, lying fiat on the
face, with head pointing to the sun,
he sho~ld breathe as many times as
he has suffered into the hole in the
ant hill, and then return home. speak
ing no word until he has broken his
fast.
