COPPER

Conditions in the copper industry
shows distinct improvement. Both
domestic and foreign purchases are
increasing and accumulated supplies
substantially smaller than they were
months ago, when the depression be-
gan to manifest itself in a distressing
way. In part the urn for the better
Is the natural consequence of sharp
reductions in the output OF the mines.
This had been made compulsory by
the severe decline in the metals value
which brought the quotation down to
a level permissive of no profit on op-
eratlons in the majority OF prominent
cases.
The bottom price for electrolytic,
set in the first week of the current
month, vas 11.12 1-8 cents per pound

present moment, the quoted figure is

strictive supervision which the COVER

maintaining, or in trying to maintain

to neutral nations in Europe, an adj
ditional advance in the metals value
may be considered probable. Austria

MOTHER SUPERIOR
BACK FROM TRIP

Mother Louis, mother superior of
the Dominican Order in the district in
which Reno is situated, arrived here
Saturday from Europe. where she had
been spending the last year in COM
pany with Sister Clarita on special
work. One of their missions was to
secure funds and arrange for the
building of a Dominican academy for
girls to be known probably as Our
Lady of the Shows. A site donated
by Louis Berrum already has been
agreed upon.
Sister Eulalia, in charge of ST.
Mary's hospital, where Mother Louis
Is staying, said today that since her
arrival the mother superior has been
resting. The question of building the
academy has not yet been discussed.
Mother Louis expects to remain in

dexter, or to elect a republican in his
place, and to elect republicans in the
place Of at least seven of the demo-
Gratis. Disregarding the possibility of
the democrats winning in one of the
republican states, the republicans
have an excellent chance of defeating
the democrats in Maine, Ohio and
Nebraska, but after that the chances
become slim.
This leaves them with four states
to carry for senator now represented
by democrats and the following list of
doubtful states: New York, West Vir-
ginia, Indiana, New Jersey and Mon
lana this year. so it would not seem
that the prospects were good there,
while Montana elected a democratic
representative this year.

PARcEL-PosT
MARKET FOR EGGS

There are in our cities and towns
many Housewives who would be glad
to make arrangements for receiving
a supply of fresh eggs direct from the
farm throughout the year. lust at
this time, when eggs are scarce and
the demand far exceeds the supply of
newly laid eggs, there is a good OPP
p~ortunity for the farmer, even though
he has but few eggs to market, to
make contract with some city or town
family to supply them with eggs. The
farmers supply at the present time
will not be great enough, possibly, to
satisfy the demand of the city family,
but If the matter is explained 1t will
be easy to make arrangements to mar
ket eggs by parcel post now and con-
tinue to DO so throughout the year.
In other words, it will be much easier
to make arrangements to ship eggs
now, when everybody wants them,
than to do SO in the spring, when
they are in abundant supply and when
the housewife can secure good, fresh
eggs In the market anywhere at a
nominal price.
a satisfied winter customer can be
made a profitable all-year customer il
proper price adjustments are made
when eggs again become plentiful.

eggs by Parcel Post" can be obtained
from the Division of Publications, u.
S. Department of Agriculture, Wash
ington, d. c.
Once having secured a parcel-post
market for eggs, it will be very easy
to market many other things by the
same method, such as butter, poultry,
fresh and cured meats, sausage, fruits,
vegetables, honey, and so on.

FARMERS FROM UTAH
BUILDING UP NEVADA

That the wide, fertile valleys of
Nevada are eventually to yield wealth
as a return for the intelligent industry
OF dry farmers from Utah, is the
opinion of Herbert w. MacFarren. of
the San Francisco field division on the
United States general land office. who
is in Salt Lake. Mr.. MacFarren vas
for five years a resident of this city
and was formerly with the tenth field
division here. He was in conference
yesterday with Captain George E.
Hair, of the local office.
At present Mr.. McFarren's duties
have to do with mineral inspection in
Nevada. He said yesterday that, while
copper mining has suffered because of
the war, other branches of metal min
ing has escaped depression, so far as
appearances in the open go. Prospect
ing for lead, gold and silver is claim
ing the interest of more than the US
ual number of mining men in Nevada,
according to Mr.. MacFarren. Concern
ing the dry farm work being done in
the neighboring state; Mr.. MacFarren
said:
Utah dry farmers, who have learn
ed the secret of making the dry lands
hold the little water that falls upon
them to give it up to the roots Of
growing grain, rather than to the alb
sorbent atmosphere, are finding a
promising field for operation in the
valleys of Nevada. There are hun
dreds of acres, where water for irri-
cations is beyond possibility, though
sufficient a be had for culinary pur-
poses. The land is fertile and expert
ments so far with grain have given
results that foreshadow a new source
Of wealth to the state of Nevada, a
blanket vein of golden grain being de-
veloped by the dry farmers who
learned their trade in Utah."-Salt

and a guest at the Mayer Hotel.

SUCKERS ON MAIL
GOOD THIS MONTH

For the benefit of patrons of the
postal service during the Christmas
season, an order has been made by
Postmaster General Burleson to faci-
litate the handling of mail. 1t directs
that the rules prohibiting the affixing
of adhesive seals or stickers other
than the required postage stamps on
the address side Of packages be sus-
pended until January 1, 1915.
Ordinary parcels bearing stickers of
any sort on the address side are ord
cred r~e-wrapped before they are ac-
cepted for mailing. During the cur
rent month, packages bearing such
stickers on the address side will be
accepted. However, postmasters are
directed to inform patrons that such
stickers ought not to be on the adj.
dress eide OF mail, but on other parts
of the package.

mas time, however. The orders and

ment Indicate q belief that the new
parcel post regulations will result in
a very heavy Christmas business. The
ordinary parcel post business in Elko
has increased about 100 per cent since
the change in the regulations, it is
stated.

A PRACTICAL AID TO MUSICAL

Education in music, as in other arts,

and method in publishing music are
supplemented by method and order IN

The day of heaps Of tattered sheet

away. Order in the arrangement OF
the music library means economy
