KEEN COMPETITION
IN STEEL TRADE
Consumers Derive Material Ben
eft From Manufacturers
Hungry for Business

New York, Juno 2J.-Thore has been
no increase in the demand for steel
products during the last week. Con-
sumers are ont Of the market and only
moderate inquiries are heard Of in the
various finished products. When these
inquiries appear the competition is
greater than at any time in recent years,
and it is probable that some users have
derived material benefits in the form
Of low prices because Of their ability
TO got makers to bid for their business.
Although steel bars are still quoted
at So per 100 pounds by the trade
publications. it is known that orders
have been placed at considerably below
that figure, and it is doubtful II a
consumer would be willing to pay 80
at this time in view of the knowledge
that orders have b"~n reported as low
as 100.
Plates have actually sold again dur
ing the last week at below S1.o0 per
100 pounds, whereas the price estab-
lished by the Steel Corporation when it
made its reductions last April was
$40. THIS is difference of more
than SO ton. which is being taken
advantage of by consumers who are
compelled to purchase at this time.
The establishment of such low quo
tutions on actual orders has led to re-
ports that another reduction will be
made by the Steel Corporation within
comparatively short time. Officials
state that there Is no present intention
of making another cut, but conditions
might change overnight, so to speak,
so an announcement of n cut would
not cause any great surprise in the
trade

Automobile Makers Out of Market

Automobile companies and makers Of
harvesting and farm machinery are out
of the steel market at present. The
first named are likely to become buyers
long before there will be n resumption
of demand from the implement manu-
faCturers because the latter have a large
surplus of finished material on hand
which they must dispose of before they
can resume operations at their various
plants. These companies also are car
rying stock of steel which will be the
first to be worked off when production
is resumed. Therefore demand from
this quarter is not likely TO develop for
Il long time.
There are still some observers Of
steel conditions who express the belief
that the situation will change for the
better by the end of August or early in
September. However, no one in the
trade Is looking for any decided spurt
in buying for many months, although
they do expect some slight improvement
during the fall Thus far, there are no
Indications that this Improvement will
be sufficiently large to cause any great
rriOiring among the steel manu-
iacturers.
Pig iron makers appear to be without
hone at present. There is no demand
for iron, and when small inquiries have
come into the market the buyers have
Ind no trouble in placing their orders
1t concessions from the levels which
have ruled on previous transactions.
Concessions are likely to continue right
along unless there is a sudden resump-
ton in buying, which is not looked for
ut present.

Talk of Wage Reduction

More talk is heard of wage reduc-
tions. Independents are hoping that
the Steel Corporation will make an
other cut in the pay to its workers in
the near future in line with the read
justmcnts which all admit must come
soon. However, there has been no in
timation thus far from quarters usually
we'll informed that the Steel Corpora
ton is planning such n step.
The argument is advanced that an
other wage reduction would mean that
labor has been liquidated for con-
siderable time to come, but It is admit
ted that this is only one of the causes
of high expenses for the various plants.
1t is known that the curtailcd opera
tions are costing more per ton Of steel
than would be the case If the plants
were operating nearer capacity, and
more business is one of the main needs
of the steel industry.
Complaints have been heard from
some independents that on recent in
quiries for steel products, notably bars
and shapes, they have been compelled to
face competition in the form of rcseling
by consumers who purchased the steel
some time ago and find that they are
not in need Of all the material they or
dered. These rcsales have been made at
low figures and have filled the wants
of some other users at highly attractive
quotations.
Considerable stress is laid on the fact
that the business offered the carriers in
the last half of this year will be largely
in excess of the movement during the
first six months. 1t is maintained that
the carriers will prepare for this busi-
ness by putting their rolling stock in

HEROIC FRENCH WAR BIRDS
Many Pigeons Received Decoration for
Their Services, One Obtaining
the Legion d'Honneur.

It remained for the French to con-
fer in their own charming way the
honors they felt were due their pigeon
heroes. Birds which performed dis
tinguiShed service or showed unusual
courage in the line of duty We're
awarded the Croix de Guerre or the
Croix Militaire.
Diplomas with the citations were
issued and kept at the headquarters
Of the French Pigeon Service, and be-
cause pigeons cannot wear medals on
their breasts special bands, with the
colors of the decorations, were made
for their legs. p
A bird which will go down in
French history just as surely as Field
Marshal Foch himself is the one which
carried from Vaux to Verduh the last
message for help sent by Commandant
Raynal before the Germans captured
the fort. This pigeon flew through
a hail of fire and a gas barrage, and,
wounded and gassed, dropped dead as
it delivered it's message. 1t was award
ed the Legion d'Honneur-E. II.

THE JUSTICE OF 1T.

The Winthrop College News prints
an article in it's issue of March 18
carrying an article from the Rock
Hill Herald giving warning that the
college will be materially crippled if
not prevented from running through
hte fiscal year for lack of expense
money. The Winthrop News then
makes some comparisons showing how
liberal the legislature was with the
three colleges for men and how mig
gardly in reference to Winthrop, or
words to that effect.
The following is from the News:
''The legislature failed to give the
relief asked for. While requiring
all college revenues to be turned in
to the state treasury, it failed to pro-
vide the money reqired to pay jahi-
tors and laborers now employed at
reduced wages; it failed by $1,000
to provide money absolutely neces-

Volsteads name was listed in Who's

formed the habit of celebrating on
his monthly trips to town for his sup
plies.
One afternoon, at the close of one
of these excursions, feeling weak and
low, he stumbled to where he had left
his team, only to find that someone
had unhitched the horses and driven
them away.
"Ezra Perkins," he said to himself
sadly, passing a hand over his brow,

There is more road work being
done in this state today than at any
one time in the history of the state,
and the work is generally of the kind
that will last if given the proper at
tention after it is done. But there is
one thing that will have to be done
to preserve the roads and that is to
find a method by which the speeding
on the roads may be stopped. And
about the only way we can think of is
to prohibit the sale or use, of any car
in this state that is speeded beyond
certain mileage, say thirty miles the
hour, and hang the man who sells or
uses any car speeded beyond that
mileage.

Among the deer hunters in the new

uncommon thing few years ago to
see woman with gun in the woods,
but there were a few, generally na-
tives, who hunted the deer for food
more than for fun, but this season
there are a great many women in
suitable hunting togs and equipped
with good guns who are following the
deer with the men. These women Sc

The Wise King Nomolos

King Nomolos was the wisest of
kings who have ever reigned and ev-
cry Tesday from to 9:30 of the eve
ming he would distribute wisdom to
the most foolish of his subjects.
One day there came to his court a
very foolish man. He had ten wom-
en- running after him, all demanding
he should marry them, and it was not
law in the country that should take
unto himself more than one wife and
the foolish fellow dare not face the
wrath of nine even to gain the favor
of one.
He was not dreadfully keen on
marrying even one.
And he appealed to his king for
wisdom, and the women stood by
glowering.
"Let me Think" said the king, re-
moving his crown, and calling upon
his two scratchers in chief to scratch
his head for him.
And having thought for the space
of three asterisks the great monarch
commanded.
"Let the ten women step forward
and give their ages"
Silently, one by one, the ten wom-
en- disappeared.
There has been none so wise as
Nomolos since his day.

COMMUNITY CENTERS

We have just received a circular
letter from Mr.. P. P. Claxon, the u.
S. commissioner of education at
Washington calling meeting to dis
cuss the building Of community CEN
ters,;
This call and the books that have
been printed and the speeches that
are being made and the way people
are now trying to create the COM
munity center reminds US of what we
said some years ago about "me and
William Jennings Bryan" that "me
and Bryan were just about ten years
ahead Of the procession"
Some ten years ago the burden OF
all our talks to the schools and the
children and the patrons was about
the building Of the community center
and the making of the school house
the community center. We are glad
that the people and the officials have
reached the conclusion after all these
years that we were right at that time,
and that the thing to save the coun-
try district was to build the commun-
ity center, and the way to build it was
to build good school in the commun-
ity. 1t was true then and it is true
today, and that is what we are en-
deavoring to do. We advocated then
the building of the school house and
the building of the teacherage and
having the teacher to be part Of the
community and community leader
and a citizen of the community all
the year round instead of the few
months during the short school term.
We still believe that this is the only
plan to save and build up the rural
districts, and it may be more press
ing today than it was ten years ago,
but if our people had just started then
we could have had several of these
community centers already function
ing. But we are pleased to see the
interest that is now being taken and
wish that our expense account would
permit US to attend this conference
in Washington, but the legislature in
it's wisdom has not given sufficient
expense to do the travelling that is
necessary in this county, and we have
to draw on the meagre salary that is
given the officer. But we will try not
to neglect any duty that we may be
called to perform in the county.
