To curt.tI Conner Production.

The officers of the Amalgamated Cop
per Company have recommended that the
mines of that company be shut down I'M
til the copper market conditions improve.
This course is brought about by the fact
that the Amalgamated Company has on
hand a large stock of metal for which
there is little demand in the market. 1t
is taken for granted in trade circles that
the action of the Amalgamated will be
followed by several of the other heavy
producing mines. 1t is notable that this
unfavorable condition of the copper mar
ket should have developed in spite of the
efforts of the Standard Oil interests to
maintain the price of the metal and the
standing of the copper stocks.

Coliseum the first great national corn
exposition ever held in this country

ent parts OF the corn plant, including
husks, stalks and tasSels. Among the
articles shown are rugs, portiereS, Ia
bic covers, mats and picture frames.
Elaborate decorations, costing near
~ $4,000. have been installed in the
Coliseum, corn and corn plants being
the dominant material used. In addi-
ton to a miniature corn farm in the
center of the big building, an ancient
temple, dedicated to the goddess of
corn, has been erected where at GER
tain periods of each day the virgins
of the sun will offer sacrifices of corn.
On either side are shields of the diff
ferent states, done in corn, each show
ing the amount of last years corn crop.
A unique feature is the corn demon

preparing corn for human beings to
eat are illustrated by expert cooks.

corn on exhibition is corn of a blue
color and white corn on a purple cob.

NEED OF AIR FLEET.
Hersey's Talk for Aerial Warfare
Likely to Arouse Congress.

Hersey's Talk for Aerial Warfare
Likely to Arouse Congress.
Major Henry B. Hersey's statement
that the government and people of the
United States are far behind the Euro
pean countries in the matter of aerial
navigation, and that it is a necessity for
this country to begin construction of an
aerial fleet, are Endorsed by practically
every officer in the signal corps of the
War Department. 1t was admitted that
considerable activity has been displayed
recently: that the value of military diri-
gibles was now admitted by all authori-
ties; that the signal corps was secretly
making efforts to drill enlisted men and
excite interest in this branch of the ser
vice; that the contract for one balloon
has been practically closed, and that the
next Congress will be asked to appropri-
ate a considerable sum for the establish
ment of an aerial fleet for the War De-
partment. Despite the fact that one Giri-
gible balloon is to be contracted for by
the United States government as soon as
the necessary funds are forthcoming, it is
felt that the rapid progress in this line
shown by France, Germany and England
makes the establishment of an aerial feet
as necessary as the keeping of. navy

geological examination of the rock Dor
ings from the Simplon, tunnel, finds rich
traces of radium. indicating larger de-
posts of this rare and extremely valuable
element than any hitherto discovered in
Europe 1t is his theory that the pres

experienced in digging the tunnel, and he
believes that the worlds supply of radium
is far greater than was supposed.

WANT SALARIES RAISED.
Increased Cost of Living Cause
Many Quitting the Ministry.

Many Quitting the Ministry.
Members of the Methodist Episcopal
conference of the State of Iowa want
their salaries raised. If this is not done,
religious work in the State may be seri-
Ously handicapped. 1t is reported that in
the Des Moines conference, thirty-seven
out of the two hundred and seventeen pull
pits will be vacant because of low sal
aries. Increased cost of living is the
cause. During the last four years, sal
aries have been advanced about 500 each
year, but this advance has not been in
keeping with the increase in the cost of
living. This is the reason ministers are
forsaking their pulpits and seeking other
fields Of endeavor where more money can
be made. They claim that the cost of
living is so high that they cannot exist
on the same salaries which they received
couple of years ago. In Indiana the
cost Of living has increased as it has else
where, and the same trouble is reported
by the Methodist church. In Illinois
the conditions are not so bad as they are
in Iowa. Many ministers, however, have
forsaken their pulpits there according to
reports from the various conferences of
the church. The Methodist ministers of
the Rock River conference want a salary
of 81 900 year fixed as a minimum.
