Turn Aside
The Stream,

The trade current that has been
setting steadily in the direction of
the big mail order. houses can now
be diverted. The parcel post allows
each individual storekeeper to de.
velop a mail order business within
his own district at a lower postal
rate than any one outside of it can
ship goods to customers within 1t.
BY adopting the same advertising
methods which the mail order
houses have used for their own ben
eft and profit in the past and organ.
izing an efficient, shipping depart
ment the small merchant is now en-.
abled to build up a profitable trade
in a greatly widened field.
The parcel post is educating buy
ers to know that the store nearer
home can serve them just as reason
ably and far more quickly and salts
factorily than the mail order house.

FOR A GOOD PHOTOGRAPH.

II you want to look your best when
you have your photograph taken these
hints may be of use:
Don't wear dress which is very
fussy or fashionable. The trimmings,
which look so pretty in real life, won't
show up in photograph, while any
thing very fashionable quickly goes
out of date and makes the picture seem
ridiculous. The best things to choose
are:
For an outdoor girl, a plain shirt
and skirt which matches it in color.
For more artistic girl, a chiffon
scarf draped softly round the shoulders.
For child, plain white frock with
white shoes and stockings.
Never be photographed in hat, veil
or glasses. Don't do your hair in a
great many elaborate puffs and waves
or it will come out looking as stiff as
a wig.
Don't try to hold the pose too long
or you will get a fixed, unnatural ex-
preston. Let the photographer put
you in the place where he wishes you
to sit or stand, but don't try to keep
your face still before he says Now"
If you feel uncomfortable in the place
where he has put you say so and ask
leave to move. If you are taken when
you feel at all uneasy the picture can
never be success.
AS rule, the subject of a photo.
graph looks better in a low necked
blouse than in high necked one, for
the line around the throat made by
a high, tight collar is not at all ar
tistic.
Don't take any one elses opinion on
the choice of a photograph. When the
proofs come home one person will pre-
fer this and another that. Let them
say what they like, but take no notice
unless you happen to agree with them.
You know best how you want to look,
and picture chosen by yourself will
have individuality, which is better
than all the prettiness in the world.

merchant he in turn will spend it with
some one else-perhaps pay it back to
your father, your son or brother, sister
or daughter as salary, and thus it
comes back into the family, doing a
universal good.
That many of our home people are
ordering goods from mail order houses
is well known fact One has but to
visit the depots and express Office to
find therein daily many packages ad-
dressed to them and likewise bearing
the name or address of certain mail or
der houses. These people are known
to- our merchants. and that's fact.
These packages consist of clothing, dry
goods, groceries, drugs, toilet articles,
furniture, hardware, carpenters tools,
farm implements and what not, all of
which could be purchased from our
own home merchants, quality consid.
cred, freight charges added and time in
transportation, just as cheaply as from
any mail order house in the country.
Surprising the merchants should band
themselves together and refuse credit
to those who patronize these mail or
der houses and further refuse to EN-.
ploy members of families who do this
or refuse to buy the wares of these peo-
pie? Wouldn't they find living mighty
hard?

OF course we all know that the high

at Market When World Is
Too Optimistic.

The last copper letter OF George l.,
Walker discusses In full among many
other Interesting things the disposition
seen In some parts TO eliminate the
speculative end OF the stock markets
The advantages Of the existing system
are emphasized by Mr.. Walker, as the
following extract from his letter Will
show:
The year 1912 ma rks a most decided
exception to the general rule In copper
share speculation. Advancing prices FOR
the metal and greatly increased earnings
and dividned payments by tho produce
Ing companies have utterly failed TO
create speculative Interest Copper
stocks, with few exceptions, have been
neither active nor strong. Although ex-
cess OF demand for copper has put tie
price UP until! there is an average profit
OF 20 per cent over the cost OF production.
this has so far failed TO create financial
conditions that Will lead on to an In
creasing supply in the future
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-01-02
Stocks About the Same.

Stocks OF refined copper held in the
United States January l. 1918. are prob
ably about the same as on January l.
1912. Foreign stocks show a considerable
decrease.
Statistics published by the Copper
Producers association show the domes
tic deliveries for the first eleven months
of the year as 761,lT4.22o pounds and in
dicate a marked increase in domestic
consumption: which will probably reach
$50, 100000 pounds for the year and may
exceed that amount
The average quoted price OF electro
lytic copper for the year showed a marked
increase over that for 1911. The average
for 1912 was about 16 cents q pound. as
compared with 1915 cente q. pound for
1911 The year opened with copper at
about IA cents q pound, but since June
the monthly average has not been below
II cents
The Salt Lake tribune. [volume] (Salt Lake City, Utah) 1890-current, 1913-01-02
Future Copper Prices.

There is every reason to anticipate that
the worlds consumpt!ve demand for cop
per, conditions being normal, will increase
at the rate OF 250,000.000 TO 500, 900. 600
pounds annually during the coming four
years and from $50 600, 900 TO 500, ,000. 900
pounds during the succeeding ilve years.
Production is altogether unlikely to in
crease as rapidly AS this, and II Il does
not the consumption OF copper will neces-
sariiy be curtailed because of the ex-
oessively high prices II will command.
1t Is this situation that makes me feel
convinced that the coming ten years
VIII witness an almost unprecedentedly
high level average price for copper.
The logical consideration of this situa-
tion leads to the one conclusion that
a return OF speculative activity Is In
evitabe. 1t may be delayed but moth
Ing can, prevent it Unless the develop
mcnt OF new prospects into mines is
financed every year the price OF the
metal must remain high, continue TO add
vance and SO increase the operating
profits OF existing producers as TO gen-
crate eventually a great burst OF specu-
lativc activity in their stocks. Naturally
this Will lead 10 promotions OF new com
panies, some OF which Will develop Into
good mines. The patient holder of good
copper stocks IS reasonably sure 10 have

Srnelter Production.

The figures showing smelter production
from domestic ores, which have been
collected by 3. S. Butler OF the geo
logical survey, represent the actual pro-
duction of most of the companies for
eleven months and an estimate Of the
December output. The November figures

and these companies furnish estimates
for the last two months of the year Ac-
cordlng to the statistics and estimates
received, the output of blister and Lake
conper was ] 249 100000 pounds in 1912,
against 1907 .232.749 pounds in 1911.
AT an average price of about 16 cents
