added that of our staff whose ability and fidelity
have been put to sterner tests nor have they
ever stood such tests so WELL
THE YEAR 1919 will be as momentous in
American history as the year 1918, and the three
years which preceded it. A realization of the new
conditions of reconstruction which confront us is of
vital Importance Let us then, individually, seek to
continue the habits of thrift that have been incu
Gated in us by the Liberty Bonds and War Savings
Stamps Let us people realize our responsible
ties to the unfed millions of other lands by strict
observance of food conservation and an endeavor
to forever eliminate waste. Let us seek to render
to our Government the same cooperation that has
been wonderfully given during the days of war;

trade conditions of the past year, when poorer
qualities advanced in price In greater proportion
than did the higher grades.

providing entertainment and welfare for the men of

the thought that we have been able to be of service

Cleveland, June 26.-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Advancing operating costs for mills and furnaces yet have failed to convince the government that higher prices on iron and steel products are necessary.
 The 45 cents added to the iron ore price dating from July l, it proves largely, is an adjustment growing out of the gen. eral elevation of freight rates effective this week. Practically all of this price advance will be absorbed by the addi- tional freight charge which the ore pro- ducers will be obliged to assume in it's entirety. In Superior ore the rail ad vance of 34 to 36.5 cents will be included in the sale price of ore at lower lake ports. About S,OOO,O0O tons of ore on dock and in transit prior to June 25 will go forward at the old rates.
 Pig iron producers consequently will not be affected by the general increase of freight rates as severely as had been believed. They will, however, be sub- jected to increase on coke and other sup plies and also to the higher price on lake ore. These additional to production costs show a wide disparity. Among different producing districts this is lend ing increasing weight to the proposal to
