AN APPEAL FROM MISSISSIPPI.

Dear S. S. B: l have been reading your paper
every time [ could get a copy, for two years,
though | never subscribed. l see that you are
helping many of the poor, so [ am led to beg you
to help me. [ am nearly so, and work in the
factory here, but only make enough to pay the
house rent and cents for food each week.
[ have one little grandchild, for whom l have to
work, and often we both go to bed cold and hung
ry. The people here help us some but there are
many more just like us that we get very little
| beg you good people to help us, for this is the
only chance for us to live any longer together,
| almost unable to work.-Mrs. ROSA
BEENS, Clarksdale, Miss.
Cd. Boyce L. Graham of Clarksdae, Miss
writes that Mrs. Beens is certainly in need of all
the help she get. Just after you have eaten
your comfortable supper tonight and before you
lie down to sleep, l want you to give thought
to these people who "Often go to bed cold and
hungry > and don't forget what Mrs. Beens says:
There are many more just like US. One
other bedtime thought: We pass the hat for the
heather and jingle the millions that are dropped
into it, needless of where they go in those far
off lands, while these home-folks of ours, so
many of them, are going to bed cold and hungry.
Isn't that wrong?-Daddy Jim.)

ANOTHER RED-TOPPED PERSON

Mr.. A. A. ELDER, of cambridge, G.. in send
ing SO cents for Miss Lydia Elder, says: My
little daughter is red-headed, and says she sdoes
not care if she is as Mr. Watson is red-hcaded.
Miss Lydia ought to be proud Of her haif.
Many of the great painters, whom we call "Old
Masters gave red hair to their most glorious
and beautiful angels and Madonnas. There is
many a red-headed heroine in fiction, and
think most doctors will tell you that red-headed
people are hard to kill with medicine. The great
conquerng races of the North, which swept the
swarthy Latins into the corners of the map, were
of that sanguine temperament which runs to
red-heads and freckles. SO don't say Il don't
care but faunt your red tresses in the sunshine,
Miss Lydia, and be proud Of them-DADDY

used in the lower portions of the base
both east and west of the Melan arch
bridge on Kansas avenue. In higher por-
tons OF the bank level, 1000 feet of the
Il foot cantilever reinforced concrete wall
will be used In the higher segments of
lesser strain, $50 feet of gravity wall will
keep back the high waters.
In addition to the concrete levee, the
specifications call for an earth embanl-
ment extending west of the Rock Island
bridge to high ground and containing
1897 cubic yards of earth.
Additional reinforcement to the concrete
walls will be in the shape of 1883 square
yards of reinforced revetment or concrete
facing of the river bank.
The wall itself will be built over and
held solid in place by 1880 feet of IS foot
piles driven into the earth.
The plans further call for 1,7O6 cubic
yards of puddle ditch construction and for
125 cubic yards of special grade "A" con-
crete.
Practically ten acres of ground will
have to be cleared and grubbed for the
building and base of the levee. The drain
age district created by the commissioners
to defray large part of the cost covers
1883 acres of the river side. OF this acre

Bids on the construction will be adver-
tised for some time in the present week.
Careful and exhaustive specifications and
instructions have been compiled by the
engineer and filed with the county clerk.

Before Investing in the Copper
COmpany's Proposition.

There have been so many fake pro-
positions of every sort exploited in this
country during the past few years, that
it is decidedly refreshing when one of
the opposite character is brought to our
notice. when the people of this state
are given an opportunity to invest in
an enterprise of unquestioned merit
and one in which the chances for ire
mendous profits are more than posi-
BILE.
"A few years ago a meritorious min
ing proposition was exploited in To-
peka,'' said c. e. Foote today, but only
few of our people were fortunate
enough to buy stock. However, some
did buy, and that too at less than one
tenth of it's present value. Others are
now sorry that they did not do like
wise.
Don't cry over lost opportunities,
but awaken to the fact that a new one
is knocking at the door of Kansas in
vestors, which possesses as great, if not
greater, merit than anything hereto
fore offered to our people.
THE Arizona Southwestern Copper
company owns one of the largest and
richest bodies of gold, silver, copper and
lead ore ever discovered in America.
The company has spent over three years
of time and thousands of dollars in
demonstrating the truthfulneSS of the
above statementf and by so doing, have
this rich ore and furnished satisfactory
evidence of practically an unlimited
vein.
However, there are roads to build
mills to construct, more shafts to sink,
tunnels to run and other necessary i'm
provements to be made, which, accord
ing to the estimate of Mr.. Price, the
companys consulting engineer, will re-
quire not to exceed S100 900. But with
that amount raised and expended for
these things, the mine will reach a pro-
ducing stage and be placed on per
manent dividend basis"
In order to raise the required amount
the company has placed a block of its
treasury stock with the brokerage firm
of c. E. Foote &. Co., of this city, and
today Mr.. Foote informed a reporter
for the State Journal that he had al
ready received orders for over one-halt
of the necessary amount, $50, GOO having
been subscribed during the past week
Among these subscribers are some of
the most prominent men in the state
who made their subscriptions following
a rigid investigation of the proposition.
At this rate, this block of stock will
soon be taken, and the complete equip
ment of another one of America s great
copper mines assured.
There are a number who are now
lamenting their negligence to purchase
Inspiration stock continued Mr.. F'Oote,
when they could have done so at
nominal price Will these people re-
peat their mistake regarding the pres
ent opportunity? That question is up
to you, kind reader
