PITTSBURGH PLUS
GETS DEATH WALLOP

The decision of the Federal
Trade Commission directing the
U. S. Steel Corporation and its
subsidiaries to abandon the prac-
tice under which they charge
freight from Pittsburgh to des-
tination" on all steel shipments,
no matter where the steel is pro-
duced or shipped from. comes as
a victory to the Minnesota Farm
Bureau Federation, which in
common with the American
Farm Bureau Federation has
waged constant fight against
this practice.
According to figures compiled
by the American Farm Bureau
Federation. the. average farmer
uses over a ton Of steel. Under
the present practice OF the Steel
Corporation. an Illinois farmer
buying farm implements made in
Chicago or Moline from steel
made at Chicago or Gary, Indi-
ana. had to pay on the cost of
those implements price which
would have been charged had the
steel used in them actually been
made and shipped from Pitts
burgh.
This difference or phantom
freight charge amounted on the
average to over Is per cent OF
the cost of the steel On the
testimony of an implement
manufacturer this charge ranged
from $1.23 TO $3.50 each or
various implements.

and her husband. The note of
hospitality was all the the blither
however for the surprise and a
delightful evening of music, eats
and fun followed.
Music gains its power to a
large extent from the old associ-
atoms. sacred memories and holy
impressions it revives in the
hearts of the hearers. Paul sang
no solo to the pagan mob on
Mars Hill. There were few sac
red thoughts in their memory
for his solo to have awakened,
and it therefore would have been
somewhat useless. Thanks to
the merciful God who has or
dained that we should be reared
in Christian environment, music
reaches the hearts Of us all.
There are sacred hours and holy
experiences with God. parents
and friends which soulful music
invariably evokes. This was
especially true last Sabbath in
connection with Mrs. Laura Bill
mans piano offertory. The music
was of her own composition. The
service next Sunday will be fea-
tured with another of her com
positions, also by the choir's
singing of Grigg's Ashamed Of
Jesus. The sermon will center
in Joshua's experience with
Five Kings in a Cave" and in a
Greater than Joshua to whom the
talk will naturally lead.
