CHICAGO TO GROW 1 It! STEEL PRODUCTION

population extend forward Chicago, Gary, Duluth and Birmingham should

have a relative measure of importance.

leaving the great and continually

growing East and Central West and the

world-wide markets as the consuming field for the Pittsburg district. The in

dustries here are admirably situated and enormous consumption will always exist in the East and Central West. Mr. Farrell's remarks were prompted by the report that Pittsburg is losing its hold as the leading steel and iron manufacturing center.

The Incrure of 223.027 tons in United States Steel Corporation unfilled orders In July was much larger than generally expected and Is explained by the fact that both the shipments and the new business - Of the corporation were the

largest reached this year. It ia estimated that shipments were 900,000 tons and that the new business approximated 100,000 tons. Shipments at this rate would amount to 10,8000,000 tons a year. Based, on the1 shipments July earnings probably exceded 111,000.000, the highest of any month of the year. If the corporations present rate of ingot production could be nialntalned for the rest of theyer the record for any calendar period for ingot production would be broken.

This is the year 1911 of our Christian

era. The coSntry Is the most enlight- t ened of the globe, and the place is only about eight miles from the city limits of the second largest city of America. Yet, to one standing on thes treet of our little burg last sabbath e-ening it would seem that we were still in the dark ages in one of the old countries. Is it not high time that we stop this charivari pest? I wonder If General

Sherman ever witnessed such a scene.; If he did he might have said of it what he said of war. See what Webster says about it: "A mock serenade of discordant music, kettles, tin horns, etc., designed to annoy and Insult. It was at first directed against widows who married a second time at an advanced age, but it is now extended to other occasions of nocturnal annoyance and insuu." Cannot people see that this Is an insult to the young married couple, and especially to their parents? We sincerely hope that this may be the last ' time that a charivari shall be known

here. Will not our village fathers see to it that we get Into line with other progressive communities In relegating this devilish pastime for hoodlums to the scrap heap, with other bygone and wornout heathenish customs of our forefathers? . ' C. INT HOUT SR. Oakglen, 111.
