IRON AND STEEL REVIEW
Cleveland, O., July 2S.- Especially

Cleveland, O., July 2S.- Especial. )- | The Iron Trade Review today says: Price movements in the iron and steel market have been so rapid and apparently contradictory the past week that they have left in doubt true trading basis in various prod ucts.
 | Action by independent mills July 2l in adopting new schedules $3 per ton lower in plates, shapes bars and semi finished material and s5 lower | in sheets again proved largely for mality, since these levels are higher than those previously made freely on desirable tonnages. In some cases Indicate some demoralization. The Steel corporation has continued it's policy of meeting lower prices named by independents. Erratic price con ditions have stimulated buyers inter- est rate rather than otherwise. New l inquiry is appearing in better volume with moderate expansion on book lipgs in practically all products.
 Probably 20.0o0 railroad car repairs now are pending. Noticeable enlarge ment of demand has appeared in nails, wire and pipe among jobbers. Two other ships for airplanes pro- posed by the navy department will require 1S,000 tons each.
 Lowest prices in plain and fabri- cated material in over five years have come out in connection with 4,35o tons for Ohio State university stad- Hum at Columbus. The contract \ went to Mt Vernon, O., shop at approximately s69.50 per ton erected. This fabricator now is in the market for about 1000 tons of plain material upon which quotations of 1 .60c Pitts burg have been received.

From present indications Maury
county farmers are going to sow this

Members of the county board of ed

were still in session this afternoon
wrestling with the tax levy commit
tee of the county court over the bud

though the tax committee was inquis-

budget Superintendent Graham and
the members of the boards had every
fact at their finger tips and soon cbn-
vinced the committee that the budget
had ndaGbsM:imade up, without the
greatest care and every precaution.
1t appeared when the budget for
teachers salaries for $4,000 was pre-
sented :that some of the apenbers of
the tax,lsYy committee thought that a
big sum. Thereupon the board pre-
sentedh he fist 81 teachers showing
that from fthfE appropriation no less,
than la teaehers must, be paid, max

teachers of the county just around
$500. After deducting the pay of the
principals this average would proba-
bly, drop to $500 a year. 1t is only
possible to get the principals and
teachers at some of the larger schools
through the generosity of the patrons.
The number of elementary school
teachers of each district of the county
is as follows: No. l, 10; No. 2, 16;

Small acreage farmers blended

There they can grow crops suited

marketing to advantage, where they
can, have, both quantity and duality
products where, BY community effort,
they can have good schools. and
churches and social conditions that
will make the boys and girls love the
farm, love the country and determine
to have their homes there. E
when we make working conditions,
living conditions and church and So
cial conditions what they can and
should be, we will find we have solv-
ed the farm labor problem, and many
other sympathetic problems that vex
us. While the farmers have gone
through trying period and have suf-

they are facing period where farm
