OF freight rates the Steel Corporation
has great advantage over all com
petitors. Its plants are distributed
over nearly every section of the coun-
try. 1t is so well supplied with Gi-
versified mill capacity that it is able
to lay down work or orders booked AT
mills reasonably close to points OF
delivery of the product. thus saving in
the reduced cost of freight to the
consumer. as compared with what an
other concern more remote woul
have to pay. probably as much as the
competitor concern would figure on
making as a fair profit on Il given

THE Importance of this strategic

Gulf States Steel continued Its re-

more than ten points above its low

month. Gulf States is one of the
largest producers of pig iron in the
country and the company has been
developing another ore body. This

time that inside holdings of Middle

in a number of these there had never
been much of a distribution from first

BIRD club
= Notes

The most of our summer birds
have arrived and are busy looking
up locations for summer homes.
Baltimore orioles build and nest
in our tall trees every year The
beauty of these birds make them
particularly welcome. They would
be worth protecting if for no other
reason than for the pleasure of see
ing them fitting among the trees.
The brilliant yellow Of their plu-
mage with the jetty black of their
head and wings is very attractive.
They are larger birds than the
goldfnches and their colors more
brilliant. Their song is not quite
SO sweet as that of the goldhnches,
but it is lively and agreeable. The
goldfnches are often called wild
canaries because OF the sweetness
of their songs.
The swinging nests of the orioles
are woven of any kind OF string or
tough fiber. They are usually fas
tened to the topmost branches
which lean outward of tall trees.
The orioles love bright colors
and are quick to see and make use
Of red, yellow or any bright colored
strings which are left for them.
We have often left short pieces of
bright colored string loosely at
tached to bushes or limbs Of trees
for their use and they seldom fail
to find them. They seem to take
delight in weaving them in their
nests. If there are no convenient
bushes near just scatter the strings
on the ground and they will come
and get them.
The orioles do not stay with us
long, coming in May and depart
ing again in September.

convenient means of dairy lighting

convenient means of dairy lighting
1t is claimed that wherever electric
light is used on the farm during
working hours, it actually saves
time thai is, reduces the time tax
en- to perform a certain operation
by giving a brighter and more
evenly distributed light on the
work al hand. And in no kind of
| farm W TX is this more true than
in tie work performed in the dairy
| barn. Electric lights can be placed
where they are most needed along
the rows of stalls, and once placed
the work is done. The first item of
saving is effected because the farm
er no longer has to move the
lantern from place to place where
ever he goes. The hand that former
| ly had to lift and carry the lantern
can now be used in productive
work. And, of course, fin cleaning,
separating, cooling and bottling
milk, and in sterilizing bottles and
equipment, electric light proves an
Invaluable aid.
The small electric plants, which
furnish this light, and which are
now so widely used on farms all
over the country, supply enough
light, not only for the dairy barn,
but for the house and all other
buildings as we'll. And in addition
to light they furnish plenty Of
current for electric power. The
separator, churn, milking machine,
and other dairy power appliances
can easily be operated, as we'll as
other light power machinery for
farm work. And in the house the
washing machine, pumping system,
vacuum sweeper and q hundred
other household appliances make
the farm wife's work much lighter.

Zoe sat for a long time in deep

had asserted itself she wondered
why she had been depressed at all.
She tried to remember something
which would excuse her folly but
failed. She could think OF no good
reason for her unreasonable temper.
Allen did not intrude upon her
musings, not knowing how any re-
marks of his would be received, but
Zoe knew that these off days of

S|NN FEN CLAIMS CREDIT IN WIPING
 OUT PETTY CRIME

DUBLIN, July 30.-(By mail) Sim Fein is organizing, under the name of the Irish Republican government, a supreme court of appeal which when set up will complete the system of tri- bunals so successful in handling minor disputes for the past months. The highest court of the British government in Ireland has virtually ceased to func- tion because appeals have been with drawn and many litigants decline to recognize that it has any authority whatever.
 Arthur Griffith, the leader of Sim Fein in Ireland, told the Associated Press that it had not been decided whether to have three or five judges on the supreme bench nor had any of the judges been selected.
 Our lower courts have been success full in checking the wave of crime that was sweeping over Ireland a few months ago. said MT. Griffith. What ever may be said about the Republican government by our enemies it must be and is admitted that petty crime has been on the wane all over the country Naturally many eases both criminal and civil have been appealed but we have no court higher than a district court to which We may take them. Appeal eases are piling up and the need of a supreme court is increasing every day.
 We dO not antlc1paCe any more trouble with the military and police in holding meetings of the supreme court than we have had in connection with the lower ones. Now and then an armed force prevents their being held but in that case the court meets again somewhere else In no instance have the troops and police permanently pre- vented cases from being tried.'
 The plan for foresta1ling British judges and courts is very simple but quite effective. When court is called men summoned for jury service fail to appear. Fines up to $500 have been imposed on absentees. If the officers arrest them ard d imprison them they go on hunger strike and subsequently are hence, British authorities have ceased to use imprisonment as a weapon and their courts are rapidly ceasing to function.
 All officers of the Sim Fein parish and district courts, are under the juris- diction of the department of justice of the Irish republic.
 Each litigant in civil action agrees to abide by the decision and not to take up the case in an enemy court" meaning a British institution in Ire land. This agreement and the weight
