STEEL TRUST IS MASTER

Washington-The United States
steel corporation has complete domi-
nation of the iron and steel market,
SAYS the federal trade commission in
a statement which shows that the
trust owns and controls over rs per
cent of the ore deposits in the Lake
Superior district, wherein is located
the greater part of the iron ore de-
posits in this country. The second
largest deposit of iron. ore is in Ala
bama, likewise owned and controlled
by the trust.
The trust owns and controls the
transportation systems, both rail and
water, which carry iron ore from
mines to manufacturing plants and
owns and controls coal mines and
lime stone quarries necessary in the
manufacture of steel. 1t controls 145
plants and manufactures and sells At
per cent of the crude steel in the
form of ingots, As per cent of rails,
sheets and structural fabrics and go
per cent of other steel products.
The federal trade commission says
that the steel trust Gowns and con-
trolls the ultimate iron ore supply in
the United States" and that because
of ats power and influence through
the percentage of the steel manu-
featuring business done by it and sup
ported by it, it's consequent potential
power to embarrass or destroy its
competitors by unduly lowering it's
price schedules is tantamount to the
naming by the steel corporation of
prices that are to be charged by all
the steel manufacturers in the United
States"

Bankers Are Overlooked

Wichita, Kan.-Writing in the
Plaindealer, L. A. Zarus says that in
this state "we have been particularly
exercised about striking miners re-
fusing to supply a public necessity,
like coal, and we hastened to provide
an industrial court as a part of the
process of running down the striker
and loading him with fines and i'm
prisonment, but now comes Senator
Capper who charges that def1ation is
responsible for 'subtracting from five
to eight billions from our farm in
dustry through a strike of the bankers
in refusing to furnish the country
with an adequate monetary supply
with which that of coal pales into
significance"
The statement referred to by the
correspondent is in a letter written
by Senator Capper to President Hard
ing, which also states:
During the financial stringency
last fall there appeared to be plenty
of money for such purposes as financ-
ing, in five minutes, new company
for General Motors, with $5,000,000
capital, or for Wall street bankers,
within "a hours, to supply Belgium
with loan of $30,000,000, while an
American wheat, cotton or cattle
farmer cannot borrow enough money
to pay his grocery bill or his taxes"

WHAT IF A FARM WIFE
SHOULD DEMAND WAGES

One day recently, we read an article
written by farm woman, setting
forth her success in the chicken rais-
ing business. She wound mp with the
statement: II am so glad | can help
my husband in some way besides Just
cook, wash and keep house."
We had to laugh, and forthwith we
hunted up an item written by Miss
Margaret Fedde, chairman Of the
home economies department Of the
University Of Nebraska, in which she
declares that the average farm woman
is worth $4,000 q year.
She gets the meals three times q
day, seven days in the week, for which
if you had to hire the work done, you
would have to pay $40 week, perhaps
more. Washing and ironing would be
$3.50 day for perhaps two days a
week. There is an average of nine
teen days a year sickness on q farm,
and acting in the capacity OF nurse the
farm wife would receive $25 week.
As an assistant in the general work
about the farm, which so many farm
women do, she should receive st least
$40 month. It is doubtless II the
farmer himbeh could get an assistant
at that price. For cleaning mp the
house two days week q hired girl
would charge $500; sewing for the
family takes at least two days . week

Dear Mary
l Was going to send you my photo
graph for n valentine, but Jack said
IT wouldn't be fair to send a friend
such n bum comic, so I'll wrte YOU a
letter instead.
You should have been down here
this week TO have enjoyed the samples
Of wedding cake. There were four
weddings IN town. Miss Laura Emer-
son and Robert Lewis were one Of
the happy couples. They had 2 lovely
home wedding. Miss Harriet Peck
and Emerson Carr also had a pretty
home wedding. They are going to live
1t Eckert, Colorado. The other two
happy couples were Mrs. Philena Ham,
hton and James Henry Of Waunita;
and Miss Annie vidmar and Jos. Slo-
gan Of Crested Butte.
Been awfully dull this week. Had
several invitations TO parties, but did
not attend only one. That was q sur
pnse party given on Prof. Kenagy,
tne other night at the home of Mrs.
him with an Oxford Bible.
The Presbyterian Aid Society have
arranged for series of afternoon
socials for the benefit Of the church.
The first one will be held at the home

Jack was telling me about the little
boy whom he saw at the depot this
week. He was Rudolph Schneller. q
BOY Of eleven. who came all the way
from Crotia, Austria, to see his mother
at Crested Butte.
/. Frank kalb and Herman Holloway
left this week for New York CITY.
The former was called back by the i'll
ness Of his mother. Mr.. Holloway
went to sc his family there.
Jack met E. A. McGregor the other
day. Mr.. McGregor has been in Cali.
fornia and was sick most of the time.
He said that Powderhorn beat the
coast all to pieces.
The town is all stirred up over the
report that We are to get the State
Normal School. Everyone has q sug-
4estion as to where it should be locat-
cd here. A great many favor the
hill east Of town. Wouldn't it be fine
Il we did secure the institution?
Jack has the mining fever again.
He was talking to Bourdette Warner,
who is home on q visit from Cripple
Creek. But really, am so afraid of
him getting injured in mine. There
was q cave-in in the Vulcan mine last
week. and Carl Fink had two ribs
broken.
My boy came home little while ago
and is all excited over the huge eagle
]. P. Carlson killed near Tenderfoot
mountain this week. It measured

BRIGHTEN UP DINcY BUTTONS

When making over a dress or suit,
why not brighten up the old buttons
instead of discarding them and buying
new ones? Certain kinds Of buttons
may be cleaned to look like new by
washing in strong solution of COM
mon household ammonia. This applies
to bone, pearl, Jet and such buttons.
Buttons that are beginning to look
dingy, such as steel, gilt and such
kinds, should be washed in warm wat
er and little baking soda, then given
a good rub with any kind Of reliable
silver polish. They will shine like
new. Cloth covered buttons that are
worth saving may be cleaned with gas
oline, remembering not to have the
fluid near a flame Of any kind, less It
explode. Velvet and plush covered
buttons should be brushed well with q
soft brush and then held over boiling
pan Of water so that the steam will
raise the nap Of the material. They
should then Be hung up to dry, allow,
ing them to hang free from touching
anything, else the nap will be fiattened
where it touches an article before It
has dried.
