sticks by you when rent is due and pototoes are out and no work in sight. You complain that his prices are higher than the Outside merchant. Natural- Fly they are, for he hasn't one tenth of the trade of the Out side firm. Patronize him more and he can soon afford to char ge less with the increase in trade. We know you will say at once that he won't-that he will go right on charging the same prices. But he will. With all o1 the local business houses enjoy ing more trade all can afford to lower prices and competition will make them do it-or lose out in the race for the increas- ed business. However much you may decry the statement, the home town merchant IS your friend. He is always here to serve you whether there is dust in the poke or not as long as he knows you are square. The Outside business house gives you nothing but a slight saving for your money at best. Your home town merchant helps to keep the town that gives you a living on the map.
 Give him your patronage!

Vanderbilt furnace No. of the , Woodward Iron company will resume operations, Monday. according to Of Gcial announcement by Frank II. Crockard, president of that company, Tuesday. Fires have been placed in the furnace and it is expected that the first run of iron will be made early next week.
 In announcing resumption MT. Crockard said the market indica tes some strength and inquiries were num- erous. The relighting of Vanderbilt by the Woodward company was of spe- cial interest indicating to many that the revival of the market is assured. This action fellows a similar step talk en Saturday t the Sheffield StePi and Iron company when the city f'y0ace Of that company resumed ope- fS,tions.
 The revival at Vanderbilt now gives tho district Z. furnaces in blast which is an indication that furnace interests agree Ina. .he situation has taken a turn for the better and tat t is safe to anticipate a continuation Uf the re- rival.

der IS years of age will not be ad mitted.
 The days list of questions and an swers follow:
 F. O.-My parents object to some of my friends. Shall obey them or not
 Answer-We are judged by our friends. If they are the right sort, we are held to be the right sort. It is for. tunate for us that we can select them ourselves. Your parents evidently have good reason to object. As you are very young I would suggest that you listen to your parents.
 R. E-It must be great to number among your acquaintances all the great people of the world. How can I meet some of them?
 Answer-You can become well ac- quainted with all of them, and, at their best, by becoming acquainted with their writings and public speeches. Learn their opinions and ideas of life and their principles and outlook on life. Most celebrities, when we get to know them, we find very much as other folk.
 c. K-My wife is given to public quarrels. What shall I do?
 Answer-A woman should no more reprove her husband publicly than the president of large corporation should censure a department head in the pres ence of that mans subordinates. She humiliates him. She makes him hate her, want to hurt her. She drives him to retort and thus to expose before others a private quarrel. A public quarrel ia a mental indecency. Warn her that the next time she quarrels you will immediately leave the room and never again be seen in public with her.
 T. S.-How can I grow old grace fully?
 Answer-You must recognize and ac- cept the loss of youth. You must ac- cept white hair, which has its charm

Be the friend, learned, but love if age will let it. W. WI was born March 3. What | sign am I under? Answer-Pisces. Your birth stone is | the bloodstone.
 An Ugly Duckling G. S.-I have several pretty sisters and I am an ugly duckling. I do so want to be a personality and attract. Answer-What is she to do? Wish ing will not give you a new face. You naturally want your share of the good things of life and to gain them de- velop a ground of your own. Why not be cultured. If not cultured, be ath- letic. You can be something. Examine yourself without any mercy and at the same time study your good points and make the best of them. You have often thought of just being useful: That is the counsel of despair, for the girl who sets out to be only useful in- stead of ornamental soons finds herself treated as a utility and not as an ornament.
 D. H.-What is your particular aver sion, Princess?
 Answer-A conceited and rude per son. Injustice and dishonesty. c. K.-I am obsessed by fear. Am losing my mind? Answer for Gods sake.

DISTRICT !. BOOKS S3,OO0,OOO
 IN IRON ORDERS
Continued Revival Of Mar, ket Believed Indicated
 As Result

Orders for pig iron involving more than $3,OOO,0O have been booked in Birmingham iron circles during the past week, according to well informed local furnace operators Tuesday. The largest benefeciaries of the orders placed here are said to have been the Sloss and the Woodward Iron compa- nies. Well informed brokers ventured the opinion that the Sloss orders were particularly good while it was sug- gested that Woodward had also booked tonnage which would prove bene- ficial not only to the company but to the district generally. Officials of the two companies in question were unwill- ing to discuss the amount of orders on hand although industrial obserbers were able. to secure in private conver- sations a fairly accurate idea of the gross.
 The price has stiffened somewhat over summer quotations, there being a disposition to secure $1S50 now from all companies. It has been suggested that. this price has received official sanction when it came to a mere mat ter of quotation but was sliced in some cases. There is now no disposition to deviate from the quotation as the mak. CTS are reasonably sure that the tide is moving onward towards even better prices.

 D. J.-Is there such a thing as ''The Evil Eye?'
 Answer-No. Like all deep-rooted errors, the fact is lost sight of that the person accused of this malicious animal magnetism looks upon all perons in the same way. f
 s. K.-Do you believe in young love
 Answer-There is something about young lovezthat is very pathetic, but, it is also very beautiful, and these young folks do not need our pity. What ever we say, it is love that makes the world go round. The love that beareth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things.
