parts Of the Twelfth and Sixth wards
where homes have been built by the
Woodlawn improvement Company
They are a model of beauty and are
a credit to the builders. The lay
out Of these homes is fine. They have
nice front yards, well sodded. The
iron fences in this community are of
the same height. both In front and
back Of the houses, and the alleys in
the rear are kept I'm good condition.
The general appearance OF this part
of the city is spick and span, and the
garbage collector and the ashman
have no trouble In getting the waste.

age collection in this locality. The
streets in this territory are kept in
fairly good order, and the flowers In

eral beauty Of the community. This

illustrated with many stereopticoR
views taken in all parts Of the hab-
table world which added interest and
pleasure The lecture was well re
ceived by the large audience.
Prof Willis showed how the sur
face of the earth was constantly
changing although the movements
might be slow. II was gradually tend.

COPPER MARKET
FACTS GIVEN

Weekly Letter Points
Out Red Metal Not
in Bad Shape
WAR EFFECTS PRICE

In their weekly circular letter OF
January Il. Hayden, Stone and Com
pany has this to say OF the copper
situation:
The newspapers the early part OF
this week were filled with reports OF
a demoralized condition in the copper
metal market. II is very easy to be
sensational. Let US see what the
facts and conditions are.
As late as October list the large
copper companies we're further sold
ahead than they had been in years
and at top prices. The Balkan War
came on with a. complete cessation
of buying in Europe. This however
did not mean a cessation of consump-
ton in Europe. but that manufactur-
ers we're merely filing orders from
stocks on hand with no intention of
replacing supplies until absolutely
compelled to by a completely ex-
hausted stock. as they believed that
the dragging out OF the peace settle
ment would lead to such differences
Of opinion regarding the metal mar
ket that some of the larger selling
agencies would make material con-
cessions to effect sales.
THAT Europe has carried this poi
icy to an extreme is shown by a
further decrease Of 100000 pounds
