ORE MOVEMENT INCREASED.
BY Slashing of Rates for Handling

Duluth, Mimi, July l.-Slash;ng oi
rates for handling ore in every stage
OF the movement from the mine to the
furnace has provided the necessary
spark for revival Of ore mining and
shipping and the worlds greatest ore
fields in the Lake Superior district are
the center Of activities which compare
favorably with the estimates OF even
the most radical optimists of the early
season.
Effecting June Is of a 10 per cent
cut in hauling rates on iron ore from
Lake Erie ports to the furnaces, WAS
preceded by announcement Of a sim
liar decrease in transporting ore from
the mines to the docks and aboard the
ships and slash Of 1913 per cent in
vessel carrying charges effective on
July |.
As direct result the entire ore
carving feet on the Great Lakes es-
timsted at approximately 400 freight
ers and % barges has been brought
into action; ore carrying railroads az
the head Of the lakes and at lower
lake ports have increased their train
crews by rs per cent TO full capacity
employing thousands of men. Mines
that we're idle have either resumed OPP
erations or are preparing to, end, ac-
cording TO experts, indications are that
when all az the new rates become ell
fective July this major mining and
shipping industry in the lakes region
will witness wholesale return TO ca
pacity.
Early estimates of 40000O00 tons
of ore being moved from the Lake
Superior district this season are being
superseded by calculations ranging
from five to ten million tons higher.
Little hope is entertained for the
movement TO equal that Of the record
season of 1920 when 60OOO000 tons
Of ore were shipped down the lakes,
for the season was slower in opening.
Long lines Of ore trains are eating
into the huge stock piles aec'tmu-
lated at the mines and docks at Du-
luth. Superior, Two Harbors, Mimi,
and Ashland, Wis. are being jammed
with loaded ore cars preparatory TO
the coming of the large fleet
For the first time since 1920 lead

but Mike went in for wholesale entertaining and invited tenement house children of Lynn to come out and frolic on his lawn. They ac- eepted the invitation and had the time of their lives, eating watermelon on Mikes veranda and romping about the premises.
 Nahant's aristocrats decided they couldn't stand Mike and they wouldn't stand his par ties, so they had him arrested for maintaining a disorderly house. Mike put on his Sunday clothes, including pink striped shirt and and appeared in court. Nahant sent dele gation of spectators whose chill aIoofness showed them to be of the socially elect. Mikes attorney told the judge his client would not again disturb the quiet of Nahant and the case was dismissed with compliment from the bench His fashionable neighbors with drew in chagrin and in a speech made to the populace later on Mike said his home would be open to poor people and children all sum- mer long, and there would also be plenty of good things to eat, prepared by his wife and daughter.
 Mike could sell his house in Nahant for 8 big price, but he prefers to stay. The aristo- crats of Nahant may tilt their noses until they walk sway-backed, but that won't bother him. As for the big-hearted Italian, frankly rejoic- ing in his prosperity and the snobs around him, some of them Senator Lodges kin, he bids fair to be more useful to his adopted country than many of the people who trace their ancestry back to the Mayflower.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
PRAISES J. D. MooRE's WORK

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 Due to no personal acquaintance with the present chairman of the county board of edu- cation, but as a citizen, am in plain view of the fact that J. D. Moore is a giant in the business world, mud sill in the foundation of the church and blaze-maker and torch car rier along the trail of education, ever opening new trails and further lighting the dark roads leading to more and better education, and dur ing these years this excellent man has paid his own board, and accepted as reward for this great service, the growth and general school expansion which county has enjoyed. Now, on the eve of the election, we find peo- pie who are inexperienced in the problems of life, especially educational work, who have quit their work, if they have any, and are out in an effort to defeat this wonderful man, who has as a monument to his efforts, new and splendid schools dotted all over our county.
 It seems that the political status of Jeffer- son is in peculiar position. Jefferson county is signally fortunate to have the service of man who has honorably reached the top, in business, beginning, so l am told, county school teacher himself. Surely from up and above all the fog which Is being broadcasted in the political arena of Jefferson, the people will not injure themselves and the education of their children by not re-electng MT. J. D. Moore as the head of our county school board. H. M. JUDGE.

COX STILL CLINICS TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS

Governor Cox is comforting with French statesmen in regard to the League of Nations It is reported that he will visit Geneva for the express purpose of studying the league at first-hand. Let us hope he will not find the sessions as dull and soporific as Bafour recently found meeting of the supreme council, at which he fell asleep and snored loudly.
 The Washington Star is of the opinion that MT. Cox plans to the league as basis for future action" It is generally conceded that he dreams of once more being the demo- cratic standard bearer and he is apparently as strongly as ever attached to an issue which contributed to his overwhelming defeat by Mir. Harding, although there was unquestion- ably nationwide discontent and desire for a change in administrations which was not due entirely to dissatisfaction with Mir. Will sons foreign policy.
 If MT. Cox seeks the nomination. again he will labor under two handicaps whfsh may prevent him from realizing his ambition He was Dooiy OSatCh III 1oSo aht3 tceoIUcSS VI the attitude of the Wilson democrats, the League of Nations is not as much in the public mind as it once was. In fact, if we may judge from the newspapers it is seldom mentioned, except in parenthetical way. The American people have ceased to pay much attention to it. This may be due to null tiplicity of domestic troubles, but Geneva seems further away than ever and even abroad there seems 60 be general apathy toward the league.
 Events may change the political outlook and make the League of Nations, or at any rate, our foreign policy, a matter of major importance to the voters of America, but there are no indications of such an attitude now. Should MT. Cox make another attempt to win the democratic nomination he may have to choose something else for campaign slogan. The republicans are providing plenty of material with which they may be attacked in the next presidential election.

In order to provide against delays of this kind at the South Amboy coal terminus of the Pennsylvania railroad, upon which number of large public utilities are dependent for their coal supply, two large thawins sheds have been constructed. Each of them is a concrete structure 45 feet long, having two lines of rails, each accommodating 10 large cars or coal wagons.

DEMOCRACY INVADES PROUD NAHANT

The fashionable residents of Nahant, Mass, have just been made painfully aware of the fact that 'kind hearts are more than coro- nets,s and all reports to the contrary notwith- standing, America is still the land of tho free.
 Nshant, select summer resort of Boston, where sristocrats live who boast of wealth and blue blood, was given a rude shock when Mike di Carlo, prosperous Italian butcher of Lynn, bought home in the heart of the town and began entertaining his friends. Mik4 being philanthropisf and eager to share his good fortune with others, put up sign in his yard, reading, "Any workingman, regardless Of creed, color or nationality, can have room hsrs free for week by applying to MT. M. di Carlo"

PETTY CASH IN MOSCOW
From the Chicago News.

IOm lnc OnicdgO NeWS.
 What are living conditions in Moscow today? Whatever they are, it is reasonably safe to assume that they are different from those that prevailed last week or last month. Here, how ever, are set down, from reliable source, figures indicating something of the conditions that existed there on or about June l.
 One small business mans personal and office expenses for the month of May were 2,171,- S70,000 rubles, equivalent to about $645. His office--one room--cost him 10,000,000 rubles day. He paid 2so,00o. .0O0 rubles for carriage hire and 59,ooo.oo0 rubles for tips
 All costs were rising rapidly at the begin ming of last month except those of the simplest foodstuffs, notably rye bread. Railroad fares rose fourfold the last week in May. Living quarters that cost 20,00o, ,000 rubles a day in May cost only 6,000,000 rubles in April
 Up to May the rise in costs had been ac- companied by corresponding rise in the ex- change value of the English pound and the American dollar, but their value declined throughout that month, the pound falling from 17,800,0o0 rubles to l7,0o0,0oo rubles. In April the pound had the value of 2o,00o,000 rubles.

HOMEGROWN PRODUCTS

Homegrown tomatoes are now being sold on the produce market in large quantities, :" said J. R. Cook, business agent of the Truck Growers association. "The tomato years ago was almost an outcast among vegetables but it is now favorite with almost everyone. So many are grown that during the height of the season the market is flooded Cooperative plans for shipping or canning them have been discussed, but nothing has been done so far.
 'Plenty of cantaloupes are also being brought to town. The crop is said to be par- ticularly large. Only few homegrown wa- termelons are coming in but the crop is fine and a big supply is expected soon."

ARIsTocRAT WITHOUT HIS CLOTHES

From the Kansas. City Times
 Somebody in New York is agtated to learn whether a secretive night watchman-the dis patch calls him "old,' though he was only 63 (very young men must write these dispatches) --is really connected with the British aris- tocracy From the fact that photograph of Ian aristocratic man" was found under the carpet, and with it newspaper clipping refer ring to the duke of Grafton, it is inferred that the night watchman might have been of noble birth
 On that sort of evidence the world must be full of strayed members of great families. But that is neither here nor there The incident is cited for the benefit of future Tsackerays and Mark Twains, who always were concerned in pointing out that without his clothes king looks like any of his subjects. Thackeray drew a picture of the naked and shivering Louis XIV and then another picture of his majesty ar rayed in his robes Mark Twain pictures royal ty, stripped, regarding itself in mirror and wondering whether this spindle shanks is the overpowering being to whom its subjects bow.
 For the sake of budding authors who would value this sort of an incident, we may hope that the dead night watchman proves to be, if not a duke at least earl or even baronet.

LARGER SHIPMENTS OF CASH
 PRODUCTS

Having learned the way to eastern and middle western markets through cooperative shipments truckers and fruit growers of Ala bama are annually increasing their produc- tion and the volume of their marketing busi- ness More than 1,250 cars of watermelons had gone from Alabama up to July Is, this year, compared with total shipments of 1,486 cars all of last season. A total shipment of 2,5oo cars is predicted for the year. The 1921 movements were an increase over those of 1920. The business grows year by year as CO., operative methods are practied and farmers raise uniform products.
 The Mobile Citrus exchange has developed a new industry in the past few years. The sand pear, which was formerly fed to hogs, has found market in the east. where it is used by canners and bakers for making sauces, pies and the like. Shipments so far this season have approximated SO cars, which is double the number shipped last year.
 The Mobile district has developed two spe- cial fruit cultures, the Satsuma orange and the sand pear, while the pecan flourishes in mercislly when it's value is realized.
 Divsrsification and cooperative marketing are changing the agricultural map of Ala bama. Cooperative marketing resurrected Denmark and California. It is now doing that work in Alabama

Here are two compliments from widely diff ferent sources for Yankee valor:
 In 1914, R. H. Davis, editor of Munseys mag azine, was visiting c. K Chesterton, the Eng fish writer, at the latter's home near London. Davis was standing with his back to the fire place when his host entered the room. "You astonsh me, MT. Davis," said Chester ton sI didn't know an American ever turned his back to British fire"
 In Paris column of our troops marched under the Ace de Triomphe in the parade in honor of the French unknown soldier. At the conclusion of the ceremony, the commanding officer approached Marshal Foch for instruc- tions.

 With a smile the great Frenchman made answer.

 The Birmingham News, speaking what it believes to be the sentiment of the commu- nity, welcomes Mrs. Barrett as the new pub fisher of The Age Herald and expresses grarl- fication that the paper will be conducted by the widow of it's distinguished editor. Those who knew Mr. Barrett best knew that, after a quarter of century as editor and owner of The Age-Herald, it would have been his wish that the property go on under the family name and under the family management.
 Mrs. Barrett is we'll qualified to assume her new duties. For some months she has been actively connected with the management of the paper and the direction of it's organize tion She should make an active success of the property and maintain its fine traditions in admirable fashion. As a publisher sne will bring a new element of distinction and charm to the southern publishing field. The News welcomes her and predicts for her fine measure of success in the venture
