trip in the east. While away she
took a dip" in the Atlantic, but of

won there, but the notice in the St.

The ancient Romans excelled in

The ancient Romans excelled in

regular muffle ovens and even a
sort of produCer-gas oven. At
tempts to produce the beautiful
soft gloss peculiar to old Roman

obtained by ,Fischer's mechanical
process, in which the ware, before
it is fired, is coated with a paste of
clay and pigment, and it is then
polished. Fine limitations of an

but the study of defective portions

Labor turns out at 5 o'clock and

You Bet.

The Hannibal Journal wonders
why it is that Pike and Rails coun-
ties are so far ahead of Marion in
gravel roads. The question is very
easy. They have the gravel in Pike
and Rails and all they have to do is
to 90 along and kick the big rocks
out of the way. Marion and Audrain
are unfortunate in this respect
Farber Forum.
Its true that Rails and Pike coun-
ties have an abundance of gravel,
and it is also true that these coun-
ties have put up lots of money to
gravel their roads both by the
county and individuals. Especially
we know this is true of Rails coun-
ty.- Perry Enterprise.
And while that is true, this is al
so true: Monroe City. the Queen of
the Prairies. is in the center of a
Prairie and has as many miles of
solid gravel streets as Louisiana in
the center of those road districts.
and about as many miles of gravel
road as has Hannibal, in Marion
county, and of course it takes mon
ey as well as gravel. For instance,
Trenton Main street runs right into
Grand river and gravel, and yet
when a town of 4,500 did not have
a mile of gravel street nor road.

Useful Hints.

To pour drops from a bottle
moisten the edge
When you wish to beat eggs add
a pinch of salt.
Coarse salt and vinegar will clean
enameled ware that has been burn
ed or diScolored.
A good cleaner for gold or silver
jewelry is a teaspoonful of ammo
MIA in cupful of water.
By adding a few drops of vinegar
to the water when pOaching eggs
they will set more quickly and per-
fectly.
Articles scorched in the ironing
should be laid in the bright sun
shine. This will remove scorch
that. is not verv bad.
To remove black from the bottom
of kettles, pans, ETC., apply COM
mons soda with damp cloth. 1t
will instantly clean them and keep
! Them bright as new.
A soft varnish brush with a
stninglOr wire through the handle
to hang by is a desirable utensil
in every pantry to be used for
brushing bread, rolls and pastry
with melted butter.
II you want boiled meat to be
tender. don't allow it to boil after
the first ten minutes. After this it
should be moved back and allowed
to just simmer, which is a very
different thing from bOikng. Boil
ing hardeRS the meat and makes
it tough.
/ People with weak digestion will
always be found to be fond of con-
diments, as the tendency of those
things is to stimulate the glands OF
the stomach and cause them to pro-
duce a larger supply of digestive
juices. Pepper, mustard and other
like spices stir up the liver and are
useful to people who. from necessity
or other causes. lead sedentary
lives. Vinegar dissolves the cellu.
lose in raw vegetables and that is
why it tastes SO well with cabbage
and salads, for there is no better
judge than the palate Of what is
good for the stomach. The oil is
added because it protectstthe stom-
ach from the biting acid. Success

COPPER ACREAGE
IN FOUR CAMPS
ACCUMULATING EVIDENCE THAT
SAME ARE BEING CONCENTRA-
TED IN HANDS OF STRONG
CONTROL.

Events of a financial nature are
cropping to the surface in the spere
of low-grade milling copper produc-
ers, the so-called "porphyry" of the
street" They point towards the
concentration of interests, in which
the Guggenheim and the MacNeill-
Penrose-Jackling parties are the
strongest factors. 1t has lately been
suggested that a gigantic merger of
all the enterprises representing this
type of copper mines may be ex-
pected iii the immediate or distant
future, but whether the Lewisohn-

culties in the way of rival purpose
remain to be resolved away. as be-
tween the ~Guggenheim and Cole

During the present week some new
financial moves have come out the
principal one being the announce.

, corning the financing of its milling
and smelling plans. An increase In

CONFIDENCE /
RETURNING
BUSINESS CONDITIONS ARE M
PROVING, CROP REPORTS ARE
ENCOURAGING AND REsUMP-
TON OF ACTIVITIES AT HAND.

The remarkable strength and ac-
tivity in the stock market this week
indicates that confidence is return
ing, and brokers comment upon the
fact that it is easier to execute SELL
ing orders than buying orders. The
market has also been without a lead
er for sometime, and there has been
less manipulation in special stocks
than for sometime back. The mar
ket is simply taking care of itself,
and it is very encouraging to traders
that prices have been so we'll main
tanned. The only danger point in the
situation at present is found in the
high prices of industrial and railroad
stocks. These are all selling at such
abnormally high prices that a strong
bull market cannot be anticipated
The market may not be at top prices
vet, but the majority of these stocks
are selling at high marks now never
reached before. Business conditions
are slowly improving and crop re-
ports are very encouraging; this
coupled with the fact that the tariff
will soon be settled for good, may
tend to increase the general resump-
ton or business activity in this coun-
try. Copper is stronger n frac-
tionally higher. Domestic consumers
are buying quite freely today and few
of them are engaging copper Tor as
far ahead as November delivery. The
foreign demand was also much better
and it is believed by those who are
familiar with the copper situation
that the prospect is very bright Tor
the existent surplus to be shortly
exhausted. Nevada Consolidated
continued strong and is acting as
thought it is due for a stiff advance.
Cumberland Ely while still weak was
much irmer over yesterdays market.
Mason Valley and Boston Ely held
firm around yesterdays figures. Both
of these stocks are likely to be ac-
tive market features in the near
future. and in view of the mine con-
ditions OF both of these properties,
If would seem that they both must
soon have a substantial advance. Ely
Central continued strong n trading
today was very large in this issue.

CHINO ORGANIZATION.

Speaking of the Chino Copper COM
pany, which recently took over the
old Santa Rita mine near Silver
City, this corporation is about to per-
feet a permanent organization of a
new board of directors, the most of
those acting at present having been
chosen to serve temporarily, or such
time as the plans of the controlling
interests could be definitely shaped
up. 1t is the intention of the COM
pany to liquidate the old Santa Rita
company and make the new concern
the operating corporation instead of
keeping it, as at present, a holding
company.
The assets of the new company
comprise $1,000 shares of the Santa
Rita Mining company's stock, valued
at $25 per share and $25O,00O in
cash, a total of $2,125,000, against
which there are $4,000 shares OF
its own stock outstanding at IS per
share. The Santa Rita company's
treasury also has $25O,000 in cash
and cash assets. Plans are now be-
ing formulated for early development
work, with a veiw to determine the
actual size and character of the ore
reserves on the property.

The market today was very much
the same as yesterday, with little
or no changes. The demand for
stocks all this week has been very
fair, considering the time of year.
A great many issues are now re-
ceiving inside support and this has
a tendency to make prices higher.
Copper shares were quite active to-
day, but principally confined to the
dividend class. Local investors are
taking very little interest in stocks
at the present time. 1t appears that
they are awaiting to see what the
outside investors are going to do
before they take on large holdings.
Copper metal advanced an eight to-
day and this created a better feel
ing n the copper shares. Consumers
have beer buying ahead for future
delivery, and mere is a decidedly
better outlook for the future: The
Ely coppers practically remained I'M
