About two years ago the Argentine
republic came into the market for 80
locomotives. American as well as
English manufacturers competed for
the business. F. o. B. factory the
American price was the lowest The
hitch came when the cost Of transpor-
tation was taken into consideration.
England was so much ahead there
that 1t offset the original bid and left
a good margin in favor of England be-
sides. AS a result the contract went
20 the English locomotive manufac-
turers. If a ship subsidy bill had
been passed this handicap against
American manufacturers would have
disappeared. Thanks to the Senate
rial filibuster. however, there is no
danger Of It's being removed soon, and
the locomotive business will continue
to go to foreign countries In prefer
ence to America on account Of the In
equality of transportation charges.

GIVE HIM
YOUR COAT TOO.

One day we heard loud talking.
A shot and then excited voices.
A man named Radford had
traded horses with a man named
Carter Radford decided he had
been cheated and probably he had
for Carter was a shrewd one. He
went to Carter who was blowing in
a field and demanded PREPARATION.
Carter refused to do anything.
Radford became angry and shot
at Carter but missed him. He then
compelled Carter at the point Of
the gun to swap back. So he
drove home his own horse mutter-
ing imprecations and with an ex-
allied sense of ego. But
Carter went Immediately and
swore out a warrant charging Rad
ford with attempted murder and
highway robbery. They put Rad
FORD in Jail, BY the time he got
ont of Jail and had finished paying
his lawyer and other expenses in
cldental to his case, he had not
only lost his horse but had been
obliged to sell his COW and mort
gage his crop. Injustice is one of
the hardest things to bear 1t takes
strength Of character to endure in
JUST ce, but oftentimes to do SO in
dicat es much wisdom.
We heard of two wealthy farm
ers with adjoining plantations
There arose between them dis
pute about the possession of
shoat- Both of them claimed #
They were dominant headstrono
men. Neither would yield. They
took the matter to court. The case
was foug ht back and forth. But
They became SO pigheaded about
this pig that each man mortpapod
his farm. When the battle was
over the pig had died of cholera
and both contestants had hacomc
50 financially involved they found
themselves working as. hired men
on the farms they had previously
owned.
Now there is great w1suom in the
admonition--"H Him that taketh awav
away thy cloak forbid not to take
thy coat also" Would it not have
been much better had each of
tnese farmers said to the other;
IF you think the shoat is vo1rs
you can have it; and take the old
SOW too, for all l care.

to take the horse nearest to the

Don't be satisfied with "h'obson's
