In e . v 1917 the cost was $12,703,909. The \ I / per capita cost this year was >9.85 , while in 1917 it was $4.-13.

The only trouble is that' ( every body has to suffer along with ( those who deserve it. i —— - Ben Gerber, a progressive farmer, ' of French township, is the first Ad-t , , I' ams county citizen to take advantage of the opportunity to secure a reduced valuation of his timber land, by agreeing as provided under the acts of 1921 to retain fifteen acres now in woods, for a period of twenty years. In appreciation of that effort to reforest the country the stat' authorizes that his valuation on the woodland acres be reduced/to one dollar per acre. Several others in this county have made inquiry and one or two have had the survey made with the expectation of coming in as “forest plantations.” It is a sensible thing- to do if you expect to retain Mie, woods as it saves in taxes and helps in a much needed effort. A widow in Syracuse. N. Y., is awarded a verdict of $1,500 against a caffe keeper who is accused of selling her husband liquor. After drinking the liquor, the husband went out :tnd killed himself, which is no uncommon result of imbibing current alcoholic beverages. This is said to be the third verdict of the kind returned in Syracuse in the last two years, under a state law which makes liquor salesmen responsible for the acts of purchasers. It may be an unwarranted invasion of the saerpd rights of bootleggers; but if such a law were generally adopted and enforced, it would add mightily to the efficacy of prohibition.—Goshen NewsTimes. e re an easy lot of people and its not to be wondered at that P.

Face to Face With JAMES A. FARRELL President United States Steel Corporation On board a steamer returning to I America in 1911 James A. Farrell sutured some newspapers received aboard at quarantine. He settled down to read about the home folks and fellow passengers came to him with congratulations. He had been elected president of the United States Steel Corporation and had not had time to read the news. Tn charge of the import business of the United States Steel Company, he had spent much time aboard building up steel business. This voyage he counted as a vacation, but his friends at home were not surprised when -James A. Farrell was named president of the greatest corporation in the world—the logical man for the job in which he has more than made good . James Augustine Farrell has lived his life in the aatmosphere of steel making and selling steel almost since boyhood in his native town of New | Haven. Conn.. In the brief years at , school he made good and sailed on, foreign voyages with his father, who was a captain and ship owner. The i father was lost at sea with his ship and young James Farrell went to ’ work in a steel wire mill at the age 1 of sixteen. ‘ | Beginning as a laborer in the Pitts- 1 burgh wire mill, he was rapidly advanced to superintendent and was not old enough to vote when ho was ’ manager of the Oliver Iron and Steel P Company. Starting out on his own i' initiative, he organized a wire com- 1 pany at Braddock. Pa., which attract- 1 ed the attention of the late James * W. Gates. It became a part of the ? American Steel and Wire Company. Young Farrell became in charge of ’ the export trade because he was con-? sidered a premier salesman of steel products. After he became president ’ of the United States Steel Corpora- r tion he organized the Export Con- ' gress in the U. S. A. which has be? come a powerful factor in the develop- 1 ment of foreign trade and merchant j s marine. ? The ports of the world, channels of * the high seas and every kind and sort ? of a vessel that floats constitutes a i basic knowledge with J A. Farrell as * revealed in the bearings at Washing-? ton. He still remains the same “Jim*' as when he worked in the mills and 1 pistouniled the committee with his ‘ to the thousands of questions l ' adequately and completely without re- p ference to a single note. His mind p enables him to absorb faets about one ' matter and carry on a conversation at |

JAMES A. FARRELL saya: “Cutivating memory becomes easy and more natural if you establish the habit of making the effort keeping in mind what is essential and what is non-essential.” the same time. A big. warm hearted human of broad sympathies, he has not forgotten the days when «s a boy he long- ‘ ed for his father, who never returned with his ship and found his tomb in the fathomless deep. As a boy he piad his struggles and today is never .too busy or absorbed in his own as- J [fairs to thinks of others. One of the first men chosen for the responsible position of Chairman of the Shipping Board by President Harding, he felt impelled to decline, believing that he could be of more public service in his present position than by accepting this honor. He always chats in a kindiv wav: “Cultivating memory becomes easy and more natural if you establish the habil of making the effort, keeping in mind what is essential and what is “ non-essential. Some people inspire and help you and give you information —others do not. Clogging the brain with impediments and consult)n ing time with associations that are not helpful in some way is wasted time.” Associates insist that James Farrell has a mind that is like an adding machine.

James A. Farrell passes a business day in the same systematic manner as when he was building up his wire mill at Braddock. Since that time he has sold steel products from nails, beams and bridges from China to Iceland and steel for skyscrappers in almost every civilized city in the yorld —Cairo to Cape (Town and from Britian to Bagdad.
