parts which they were to take.
The wonderful side of the Forty-second
street development is the many financial
institutions which have come into the
section in the last few years Starting
about six years ago, the movement of
banks and trust companies has been
greater each year, so that there is rea-
son to assume that next year and the
year after will see many other financial
institutions establishing branches or
headquarters there. 1t is conservatively
estimated that the fifteen banks and
trust companies within the four blocks
square between Fortieth and Forty
fourth street, Fourth avenue and Broad
way, have deposits totalling more than
$1,000, 100000. A billion dollars Is a
great heap OF money, but a glance at the
list Of banks and trust companies there
will show that the estimate Is justified.
On Forty-second street within two
blocks OF Grand Central Terminal. are
located three great and powerful banks
and trust companies. the Lincoln Ma
tional Bank, the Central Union Trust
Company at the southwest corner of
Madison avenue and Forty-second street
and the Forty-second street branch OF

Bert Hickman has put out an

lieve he will succeed.
Every family is going to put

Sherman Rove expects to put

and they do fine here as he had

No one is objecting to using

we do wonder why the price is

Farmers Are Warned To- hurry.
The following statement has
been issued by the United States
Employment Service of the De-
partment of Labor:
"A new draft of about 100000
men shortly will be called to the
colors. Provost Marshall General
has ordered that men actively as
siduously. and completely engag-
ed in the planting or cultivation
of a crop but who are listed in
Glass 1 of the draft and within
the new quota should he deferred
until The end Of the new quota.
Must Make Affidavit
THE local draft boards, being
judicial bodies, cannot defer the
lcall OF such men, however, unless
the farmers employing them sup
port their claims for such defer
red classification with affidavits.
II is therefore of vital Importance
that farmers Immediately execute
and file such affidavits with the
local boards.
Immediate Action Urged
If farmers whose hands are
affected in this new coll fail to
follow this advice, they should
have no, cause for complaint if
their men are taken from them at
this critical time. II will be use
less and unreasonable later to
protest if they have done nothing
to retain their help. Immediate
action on the part of every farm
er whose employees are delayed

Kind Friend:--I just received the
Xmas package yesterday and from
the Omaha Bee dated Nov, i4th.,
that found in it, it must have
been long time finding me.
| | am inclined to think that there
lis a lot of mail that never have
received that | may get in the fu-
ture. seldom get letter any
more and | am sure that all my
relatives and friends have not
forgotten me SO early in the game.
We are all doing fine and .ex-
pect to have the Kaiser whipped
sometime this summer and back
home telling how we did it with
perhaps big l.
OF course we don't know any
imore about how the war is going
than you do except right around
this place where we are at and
that could not decide the whole
war. We have seen some wonder
full sights that we cannot write
about but when get home shall
make it my business to call on you
and tell you Of some of my exper-
fences lover here
There was nothing in the Xmas
box that l could not use TO the
very best advantage and am
more than greatful to you. If you
should see any of my people tell
them that | have ceased ito hear
from them and am anxious for
some news from home.

that picture was sure the limit,
wasn't it? Doesn't look exactly
right. Am very glad to hear
you received my allotment mon
ey, and do hope that it will help
out some and when it runs out
am going to make another TO you.
You see | made it for six months
and it runs out in March, so then
| will have it renewed.
Did | tell you in my last letter
about taking out the Soldiers In
surance? If | did not | will tell
sou now all | know about it.
The government has the run
ming of it. and you can take out
from $4,000 up to $4,000, so
took out the full amount and
made it payable TO you. II cost
about S6.i0 SO you see that it is
about the best anybody can get.
If you are internally injured
you receive for 20 years about
$500 per month and if you are
killed your dependent receives it
the same way anyway that is the
way | understand it. You see we
are provided for by the Govern
ment.
Mother, Thave been feeling the
best l have ever felt for the last
three or four months and believe
in army life. 1t is sure fine, even
If we are at war. but as you say
the Sammies are sure doing lots
of things everything from learn
ing how to put up barb wire en-
Engagements, to building roads,
and making bomb proof dugouts,
so you see we are kept busy and
won't get lazy and into trouble.
Yes, you can just bet yonr life
that l got those boxes for Xmas.
and everything was just swell,
and those gloves that you sent
yere just the very thing that
wanted. Il

now, as the agent at Cal. Jet,
sent me 25 sacks of Duke Mix
ture and 20 sacks of Bull Durham

write him and thank him for IL
today. Also Mr. Fanger sent me
a box with some Fatima cigaret-
ties, box of stationary, pencils, a
pair OF socks and handkerchiefs
and | must also write him today.
There was a package sent to
me from Mrs. j. j. Amen, but I
do not know her address and if
you happen to know it just drop

Well, things did not turn out
Hike | thought they would when I

STEEL AND IRON ORE MEETING DEMANDS Factor of Time in Essential War Needs Is All
 Determining

Cleveland. July IT, Special 1.-The Iron Trade Review today says:
 Possibilities of return of some non war selling of iron and steel are being discussed more polntedly. While tangible are few, the trend of ex- pectations appears to be toward a situa- ton of more liberal distribution. This revived talk has been due in part to the open authority recently given the mills by steel directors to ship small lots to any buyer without permit Tn a deeper ana probably more significant sense it Eas been caused by the growing convic- ton in some quarters that essential de- mands now in sight can be met by the mills as needed and that there may be something to spare. It is manifest that any surplus of this character which may appear will vary in accordance with the product. It Is pointed out that the fact pr of time when the material vii be re- quired for essential needs is all-determ- ming.
 Recent operations have not been able to keep pace and due to this fact consumers have been having less difficulty in meet ing their billet requirements. Some pro- ducers of war articles are now under stood to have their steel supplies under cover for some months ahead. Pig iron buying for 1919 deliveries continues to spread. One important lake and valley interest has been large seller in the week, disposing of about 100, 600 tons for that period to consumers engaged in es- sental lines of production. A new an- nouncement by the steel director is that no priority certificates in pig iron are to be issued. A more favorable production showing is contributing to renewed spec ulation over the outlook for freer sell ing conditions. The Steel corporation plants this week are up to 96 per cent of ingot capacity, compared with 95 per cent last week Coke supplies are re- ported more satisfactory from all sides .
