THE LILLE OLE HOME PAPER

THE LILLE OLE HOME PAPER
Say. boys, when you were in the
training camps or over In France.
what paper did YOU look for. the big
city daily or the little old home paperg
Which meant the most to you? II you
had the choice OF just one paper which
one would you have chosen those
days? l know your answer without
your giving it--you wanted the little
six column paper from the home
town, the one that told you the news
that was next 10 your heart And,
so it's growing more and more to-
wards the paper from the home town.
When you were in France you read
the ads, every line OF them. You've
got the habit yet. You wanted then
TO know what the country editor said
about the war. how the home folks
stood behind their boys, what the
home folks thought OF their boys at
the front You were not interested
in what Chicago or Detroit papers
said, what their big head lines were
They meant nothing to you. They
mean nothing 10 you now. The coun-
try paper is the pulse beat OF the ma
tion because the sentiments and ideas
expressed therein are not influenced
by the business office. The big city
daily's day OF influence is rapidly
passing. No one believes what II
says. Their editorials are scanned
more to learn with what clique or A.
nancial crowd the paper is allied than
10 get any real information as TO the
thoughts that are uppermost in the
minds or the people II serves. And,
so We say that its the country peper
that really measures the public SEN
timent. ANY condition that will bring
about the limiting Of the usefulness
OF the country press VIII prove a
calamity to this nation.

Pooling Arrangements on.

The pooling arrangements that
were in force during the government
operation OF railroads is of now and
while the same policy OF giving the
main output from Crystal Falls to the
St Paul and the west side to the
Northwestern continues, 1t is ndt
called for under the code and there
has been some switching. For exam
pie. the Northwestern pulled the
Bristol output for short time and is
ready at any time TO furnish cars to
mines handled by the ST. Paul, pro-
vided boats are in sight.
The pooling Of coal and ores on
water was strongly advocated by sew
eral OF the large interests, promi-
nently among them being the NJ. A.
Hanna interests but that action was
Just as strongly and evidently sue
cessfully opposed by other large in
terests, among them the Steel Corpor-
alton and the Mckinney Steel Co.
Those opposing the action gave 1t as
their reasons that conditions are not
so serious as to necessitate such ac-
ton.
Taken as whole, the outlook is not
for as active a season as at first ex-
pected but present indications are
that il will be fully as active as the
labor supply will allow All Crystal
Falls miners are employed and most
mines arc short right now, therefore
there is no hardship TO business
in sight that has not been hover
ing over Il for over a year. No more
activity can be expected until the peo-
pie settle down, quit taking vacations
every month and give some OF the at
tention that they are now giving to
pleasure to a real, earnest effort to
increase production

even In dry weather, We are thankful
that the village isn't any wider. and
the fine roads on both sides OF II have
great tendency to take the curse

AS OTHERS SEE Us

Chris Bennett OF the Ironwood
Times made an automobile trip thru
Iron county recently. Here Is what
he has to say about the roads OF this
county:
Iron county has donet much good
road building since the latter part Of
last summer and has some excellent
roads. To be sure there IS a stretch
OF about FIVE miles this side of
Beechwood. on the Cloverland Trail
that is covered with gravel which has
not yet been spread or rolled. and
which at present makes very bad and
slow going. but which will undoubted-
~ be remedied within short time
This piece Of road was in almost inn
passible condition this spring when
the fros. came ont OF the ground. and
the large number OF cars running over
1t cut il up badly. But this gravel
which has been hauled into il will
make a good road out Of H. as soon as
II Is spread and rolled. The road be-
tween Iron River and Crystal Fails,
which was quite rough last summer.
has been greatly improved and is now
IN fine condition the greater part ot
the way. and improvements are being
made on the balance This piece OF
road was originally OF tar macadam
construction. which grew rough with
much usage. as tar macadam always
does. and now a coating OF fine gravel
has been put on the road and We no

PRICES LOOK WITH
LONGING At UPWARD
LADDER, IS REPORT

WASHINGTON. April 30.-Reports
from Federal reserve agents through
out the country showed a marked
tendency of prices to resume their up
ward movement the Federal reserve
board reported tonight in it's summary
of business conditions for April. But
the board noted the hopeful sign, from
the consumers standpoint, of anxiety
concerning the overstrained situation,
resulting from excessively high prices
and wages" which it believed, fore
casts slowing down in the skyrocket
ing of prices.
While high prices of necessaries
were obviously chargeable TO ineffi-
cheney and under-prOduction to a large
degree, the board advanced the belief
that the already high costs of produc-
ton were aggravated by the added eX.
pense of capital.
The result has been that, during
April conditions were not as favorable
to a drop in prices as they were in
February and March, according to the
summary.
while the agricultural outlook is
distinctly less satisfactory than it was
a month ago." the summary said, and
while the month of April has been a
period of serious labor disturbances,
especially in the transportation field,
the activity of business has continued
high, demand for products strong and
with prices tending upward rather
than downward"

Business Books Coming
Into Demand; Young Men
Are Anxious To Learn

Business of all kinds should be sue
cessful for the future business man of
Richmond, if the tastes of the young
man of today is to be counted any
thing
A much larger cali for books on
business management is experienced
by the local library than was the case
years ago. People of all classes come
for literature of this nature, but per
haps of all classes the young man is
the one most anxious to gain the
knowledge.
This is easily understood as the
young man starting in business is
anxious to know all about the work
before he starts. Many men even
after they have been in business for
years will hunt up information about
some branch of work they are consid-
ering entering.
To meet this demand, the local IL
brary is constantly adding newer and
more complete editions to its stock.
In some cities the business house de-
mands that the employe study the
methods of carrying on the particular
line in which he is to enter. Some
of the most popular books on business
used in this city concerns that of shop
and factory.
