ADVANCE 70 CENTS PER TON

"The northern lines now propose tc arbitrarily advance the rates from the Virginia gateways and Ohio and Mis- sissippi crossings, 15 per cent, which will result in further advance in the pig iron rates from southern furnaces of an average of roc per ton. With the high cost of labor entering into the cost of producing iron in the southern territory. and the fact that only 33 Is per cent of the iron produced in the south is consumed in the south, the southern producers are placed at such disadvantage. that it Is difficult for them to foresee how they can keep their furnaces in operation, and meet the competition of their northern and east ern competitors"
 Announcement was made several weeks ago that the rate to and from the south on all commodities would be increased from 31a to 8 per cent, based on the classification. and for the pur- pose of protesting against this discrimi- . nation against the southern shippers Secretary Bum and traffic managers of chambers of commerce in several other southern cities went to Washing ton two or three weeks ago and ap- peared before the director of traffic of the railroad administration and the in terstate commerce commission.
 Ever since the war forced up wages the southern iron makers have been at a great disadvantage. the disparity in rates from the south to the north and the east and from northern and east ern furnaces to competing points. cut ting into the profits of southern fur naces almost to the vanishing point.
 One large consumer of iron whose plant is located only short distance from Birmingham, is paying 400 per cent more in freight charges now than prior to the war. This makes it almost prohibitive for that concern to continue operations.
 The increase to plants in the imme- diate vicinity of Birmingham runs as high as 200 per cent and in one or two instances 300 per cent over prewaf rates
 Compared to these sharp advances in the south those in the north and east have been very slight. and the proposed new advance, if carried into effect will further burden southern iron makers, if it does not put them out of business entirely. so far as the markets north of the Ohio river is concerned.

ADVANCE IN RATES ON P|G
 IRON ID BE FOUGHT
Increase Will Shut Birming- ham Out of the Northern. Eastern and Western
 Markets, Is Claim

In the proposed upward adjustment of freight rates, which is announced to take effect at an early date, the iron industry of Birmingham is struck 8 blow that may seriously affect 1t in the future.
 Iron manufacturers are bringing every influence possible to bear upon the railroad administration and the in terstate commerce commission not to put this new increase into effect, claim ing that it will shut them out of the northern, eastern and western markets. which in the past have drawn heavily from this district.
 Protests against the increase were filed with the government agencies several days ago and a hearing has been set for next Monday in Atlanta, at which the iron interests of Birming- ham will present data to substantiats their contention.
 In addition to representatives of the iron companies, Secretary O. l.. Bum of the Birmingham Traffic bureau will appear before the committee. He has prepared great deal of statistical in formation which he will present to the committee, and upon that and other in- formation, he and the iron represent atlVes will argue against any further increase in the rates to the north and east.

WHAT'S THE TROUBLE
 WITH HUMAN NATURE
Rev. G. M. MiSSirian Makes Some
 Pertinent Statements

Taking as his theme, Christianity and Human Nature,' with emphasis on What is the Matter With Human Nature" Rev. G. M Missirian, pastor of the Stanley Mem orial church. yes terday morning reached an interesting sermon. a. resume of which herewith is printed:
 The great problem in the mind Of God is man and his salvation. To this end the early reformers and great prophets devoted their lives in educat- ing and exhorting the people to ful- fill the wish of their Creator In the life and death of Jesus Christ the heart of God was perfectly revealed "F7or God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that who- soever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life" Over 1900 years have passed since the day when God made His supreme sacrifice and today, much to our shame, we find the human race at large unsaved. It is true and undeniable that a great host of saints, refOrmers and martyrs have enlightened and glorified the path of civilization, but the social and economical relations of men and the political life of the world are still in sore need of salvation. Is there any, thing fundamentally wrong in human nature? Or is the collective human nature som ething different from what we observe in individual cases? If
New Britain herald., 1919-10-27

Peace and war, hope and disappoint- ment, trust and mistrust invading the consciousness of the human race.
 Man is still his own great problem; :; normally human nature is selfish, per verted, unbalanced and hence unreli- able. Our primary concern, however, is not what human nature is'' but what human nature ought to be. We find an answer to the latter in the ideal nature of Jesus of Nazareth. We see human nature there unselflsh. Therefore, your destiny is in your own hands. You are the master of your own nature. When the world is cry ing, suffering and bleeding for right eousness and justice, make your hu- man nature count; make 1t a song, a, cheer, a blessing. For we know that the whole creation groaneth and tra.- vaileth in pain together until now |. for the manifesto ton of Sons of God"

DISABLED VETERANS
 WILL BE EDUCATED
Federal Vocational Board Offers
 Free Schooling

The Federal Board of Vocational Education with headquarters in Washington, has sent a communica- tion to Mayor George A. Quigley asking for cooperation in an effort to reach every handicapped veteran entitled to re-education." instructions as to how to do this are enclosed and state that any man who became in capacitated permanently while in the army or navy or as a result of this service is entitled to this training. The letter follows:
 Dear Sir:
 You received from the Federal Board for Vocational Education a few days ago a communication asking for cooperation In an effort 10 reach every handicapped veteran entitled to re-eduCation.
 For your information and that of such men as may apply To you for information on the subject the fol- lowing instructions are given:
 Your community comes under the supervision of District Office No. g. the district officer being $. F. Far well at 469 Fifth avenue, New York city, N. Y. Branch office at Hart ford, Conn.,, A. J. Haas being in charge.
 Every soldier, sailor, or marine, who suffered a permanent handicap be- cause of his service is entitled to training, provided such disability was incurred in the military or naval serv- ice of the United States, or was in cured or aggravated by such service. Any man who thinks The is entitled to this training need only apply, 1l,~ through others, to the district officer mentioned above, setting forth the nature of his disa bility, and he will receive prompt attention at the hands of this official.
 The Federal Board for Vocational Education must confine it's activities within the limits of the law as amend ed by congress on July Il last. The duties and limitations of the board in it's dealings with the disabled sol diers may be summed up in the fol- lowing manner:
 The Federal Board can:
 1. Provide training for men whose disabilities due to service prohibit their return to their old jobs.
 3. Provide maintenance for such men while in training.
 8. Provide allowance for families of such men while in training
 4. IT, addition to those provided for above, furnish free tuition to men whose disabilities do not con- stitute vocational handicap, but who desire training for improvement and who have been deemed ompensable by the Bureau of War Risk Insurance.
 5. Provide equipment, such as books tools, etc, for men in training.
 6. If disabled men are still in army hospitals they can obtain full infor- nation from the agent of the Fed eral Board for Vocational Education assigned to the particular institution in which they are patients.
 Tn most cases the man approved for training is sent to the nearest college, school, industrial plant, shop, or factory to their own town in which the training can be secured.
 Trusting that you will find this in formation sufficient for your own needs and those of veterans of the war, and suggesting that this article be sent to the newspapers of your community, I beg to remain.
 Sincerely yours,
 A. G. FIELD,

God can trust in human nature and expect its salvation, why can Rot men prove their capacity for saved lives |? Christianity is human nature in terms or God, balanced, expanded infinitely in love and sympathy, and expressed in universal service and sacrifice Hu- man nature is safe, reliable and use- full, only when dominated with such qualities.
 One of the great needs of our day IS to take time frequently during the mad rush of life and to make our own selves subject of study and meditation We are getting to be so busy with everybody else that we have no time for ourselves No christianity can develop to it's full power when human nature avoids to be subjected to it's searching and purifying light. Salva- tion and conversion begin when man discovers himself or sees his own na- lures picture in the light of God.
 Going back to our original question What is the Trouble With Human Nature?'' we arrive to the unavoidable conclusion that there is and will be, all sorts of trouble in a human nature without God. No matter how polished and cultured it will remain still sell fish, unba ianced and unreliab ble But all is we'll with human nature allied with God. When Christianity and human nature become united and identical expression.
 What is Christianity and human nature in action as we find them to- day in the manifold affairs of the world?
 We find, on the one hand, the great organizations of churches, whether cathedral or a village church, numer- ous religious societies, considerable religious press sending out weeklies, periodicals and pamphlets of all sorts, and above all these a host of truly re- Egious. Christian and noble souls radi- ating love, service and sacrifice. On the other hand we find comparatively in overwhelming majority, restless, half-crazed. present minded. religious Iv indifferent mass of people. We cannot help but see constructive and destructive forces go side by side.

FOOD SITUATION
 IN THIS CITY
Strictly Fresh Eggs Sell at 79 Cents Per Dozen While Sugar Can't
 Be Obtained.

Strictly fresh eggs at 79 cents per dozen, sugar almost impossible to ob- tain, and meat prices going up, sums up the food situation in this city, as it confronts MT. Consumer who makes the rounds to buy these three neces- saries of life, Very little variation obtains in the principal food marts of the city as regards these three food stocks.
 Eggs are lowering dangerously near the dollar mark. with prospects that they will sell at d dollar a dozen in the retail m market within the next few weeks. The report issued in an even ing paper last week stating that GEES were selling at 95 cents per dozen at local stores, was contradicted today by local merchants. The price of 79 cents per dozen applies to eggs brought in by local farmers, and these eggs are guaranteed to be fresh, replacement being made where the customer finds that apparently the hen has not laid fresh egg. Several of the local stores selling eggs refuse to even guarantee the fresh farmer eggs.
 Sugar is not to be had in any of the principal stores today, at least not by one who merely asked for sugar. The sugar situation at the present time is the worst ever and from the present outlook, with none on the road the local residents will surely suffer a, severe shortage.
 There are several slight increases in the price of meat and lard, and the prediction is made by local mark ct men that prices will probably soar high this winter.
