SIGNS OF HEALTH

Wheat used to be the mercury
in the comm ercial thermometer.
Now it is iron. The way of iron
is the way of business-up or
down. With iron, of course, one
counts steel. So that it is most
encouraging to consider the pos
sition of the iron and steel in
dustry in connection with prospec-
tive prosperity.
Three important developments
have occurred in the iron and steel
industry during the past month.
Prices have begun to stiffen; ord
ering for future delivery has APP
.peared; and the most Impressive
movement of pig iron since 1920
has taken place. A measure of
the stride of the industry is found
in the record of blast furnace act
ivity for November. There was an
increase of % furnaces from the
total of one month earlier. Fifty
per cent of the total number of
furnaces in the country are now
active. This compares with 44.3
per cent at the end of October
and with a theoretical normal of
so per cent.-Emporia Gazette.
Prosperity in one line means
prosperity in others and for iron
to boom touches every industry.

TOWN TEAMWORK

In every town there generally
exists strong competition in bust
ness, marked differences in poll
tics and religion, bitter social riv-
alries and personal antagonisms.
There are fixed forces which are
inherent.
But there is one common ground
on which all should be willing to
meet, to lay aside personal griev-
ances and individual prejudices.
This is the common ground of the
towns welfare.
In other words, no matter how
much individuals may disagree
personally, all should unite in com
mon good. This sort of civil team
work make a town worth while, in
sures its progress, creates a spir-
it of community advancement-ln
short, makes town ga good place
in which to live"
BY joining with rival in some
movement for civic betterment, he
is often discovered to be a good
fellow after all.
Development of strong COM
munity spirit is essential to COM
munity progress, and no personal
feelings should be permitted to
stand in its way. Loyalty and
teamwork are the things that make
a small town big.-Council Grove

AUTOMOBILE SATURATION
AND ROAD COSTS

No one sees the congestion in
our city streets and county high
ways without realizing that the
saturation point of automobile
production is not going to be meas
ured by the purchasing power of
the people but by the capacity of
our highways. Unless more and
better highways are built and
more and wider streets are open
ed the use of the automobile will
become a diminishing utility or
pleasure. The lesson to the auto
mobile manufacturer should be
plain. Hitherto he has fought ev-
cry effort to make the automobile
pay for any road or street con-
struction. Maintenance he was will
ing to support because obviously
the car wore out the road but con-
struction he held was the duty of
the whole public and not that part
Of the public that operated mot
ors. AS a theory that may still be
reasonable; but If the automobile
manufacturer reads the signs a
right he will see that practically
he had better do all he can to

CHICAGO CREEPING INTO
AXE

In the days Of the first settlers,
the mouth of the Chicago river was
where Michigan Boulevard now
crosses the stream. Today the
mouth is a half mile east, pushed
into the lake by the need Of water
front land for warehouses and
terminals. By this process 1900
is being added to the park system
in Chicago and when completed
there will be a system of inland
boulevards. Popular Mechanics of
Chicago says:
North of the river a tract APP
proximately one-half mile wide
and quarters of a mile long
help get new roads and streets be-
is all made land, and, with the
improvements upon it, it valued
at far in excess Of $150,000,000.
Great hotels and clusters of huge
apartment buildings have pushed
up where once fish played in the
lake. One of the biggest office
buildings in the world is nearly
a half-mile out into what was the
lake. Opposite the business sec
ton of the city, Grant Park, a
broad, treeless expanse which is
to be converted into botanical gar
dens, and the yards and warehous-
es of the lakefront railroads have
been reclaimed from the waters.
On the north side, Lincoln Park,
with its system of lagoons, was
once in the lake. South OF Grant
Park the new Field Museum and
the huge Stone municipal stadium,
now under construction, stand on
recovered soil. The new projects
now under way, however, are more
important still.
Southwark from the Field Mus
cum, for over five miles and q
half, an outer parkway is being
built along the shore, while par
elleling it, out in the lake, dredges,
pile drivers and sand suckers are
raising a chain of five long islands,
to be joined to each other and to
the shore parks by bridges. Over
these islands will pass a direct
boulevard from the far south side
to the center of the ciky. This
project alone will add LOO acres
to the park system. Between the
islands and the shore parks will be
