EXTRA DIVIDEND OF soc
ON u. S. STEEL COMMON

A New York dispatch to the fin
ancial world of Monday last said
The United States Steel corporation
maintained today its policy of pay
ing an extra dividend of so cents
share on the common stock, in
addition to the regular quarterly
and preferred disbursements of
$1.25 and s1.75 share respectively
despite the fact that the third
quarters earnings failed to fully
cover dividend requirements.
Total earnings of s30,718,415
for the period ended Sept. 80, repre-
scented a decline of S10,662, 624
from the preceding quarters earn
ings. With the deduction of all
charges and dividends, there was a
deficit of $122,102 for the quarter,
although the surplus for the first
nine months of the year totaled
$25, III ,801.
Lower selling prices on the pro-
ducts of the Steel corporation &C.
counted for the reduction in earn
ings, according to Chairman E. Fl.
Gary. Bookings up to Oct. "a, he
said, were larger per day than in
the corresponding period of Septem-

FOREST RANGERS AT WORK
ON AGRICULTURAL CENSUS

Forest Rangers Legat and Guard
Conrad are now in the fed taxing
the agricultural census in the
counties in and Immediately sur
rounding the Superior National For
est in Lake and Cook Counties. Al
though this census is to cover the
entire United States as provided for
by an act of the last congress, ac-
cording to Supervisor Richey of the
Superior National Forest, the Forest
rangers will collect data only in and
around the Forest where their ac-
quaintance with local people and
familiarity with the country will en-
able them to do the work more easily
than strangers from the outside.
The inventory of farm property,
including live stock, will relate to
January /, 1925, and the production
of crops and livestock products will
be reported for the calendar year
1924.
In order that ranchers and farm
ers may be familiar with the
schedule and may know in advance
what questions are to be asked of
them, 100000 sample copies of the
schedule have beendistributed to
them individually through the rural
mail carriers in all parts of the
country. The farmer has been re-
quested to fill out this sample
schedule have been distributed to
enumerator calls. If the farmer
generally viii do this, the work of
the enumerators will be much east
er and the census can be completed
more quickly than would otherwise
be the case. 1t is believed also that
many farmers will appreciate this
advance information as to exactly
what the census will cover.
1t is hoped and confidently ex-
,pected that this will be the most
complete and accurate census of ag-
riculture that has ever been taken
in the United States, since previous
farm censuses have been taken in
connection with the census of popu-
lation. The success of the census
depends largely, of course, upon
efficient work upon the part of the
supervisors and enumerators. How
ever, it will be affected to a great
extent by the cooperation of he in
dividual farmer, for it is the in
dividual farmer who must furnish
the information upon which the
whole census is based.

SOUDAN MINE SUFFERS LOSS
OF CARPENTER SHOP BY FIRE.

The Soudan carpenter shop was
totally destroyed by fire Thursday
Of last week. The loss estimated
by the Oliver Mining Co. is placed
at $4,000. The origin of the fire
is not known but it is supposed that
it was caused by truck which was
being repaired in the building.
The building was not being used
as a shop in late years but has been
used as a warehouse in which were
stored quantities of electric sup
plies, including a new dynamo, all
of which was burned with the truck
