WHY NOT "COPPER"

Those southern statesmen who in
| PRODUCED bills In Congress. Friday, for
the relief Of American cotton growers
may find difficulty in passing the
measures. In effect, the bills provide
for bonded warehouses, where cotton
may be stored and made the basis of
currency issues. That. in other words,
means loan by the government with
| the cotton as security.
At this distance says the Butte Post,
it appears to be little early to ar
range national relief for southern cot
| ton growers. The planters have had
exceedingly prosperous seasons the
last few years Their condition is not
desperate. Other governments have
valorized products, but the conditions
were different For instance, when
Brazil assumed the burden OF carrying
over the surplus Of its coffee product
II had the power To limit next years
output, and exercised it, The Dutch
government once controlled the price
of spices by cutting down surplus trees
in the Spice islands. our government
has no power 10 limit production. 1t
can loan the southern cotton grower
$50 bale on his cotton, as suggested
by L. J. Walton, president of the
southern Cotton congress, but it can
not cut down next years crop. Unless
next years product could be curtailed
the federal government would not be
justified in advancing money on this
seasons production.
As matter Of fact the outlook for
the cotton growers might be very much
worse, Great Britain and France are
preparing to open their ports. and
England, at least, Notwithstanding the
war; will consume large quantities of
cotton. The mill operatives in England
and France are women, for the most
part and the women have not gone TO
war. Besides, the fact that German
and Austrian mills will be closed
should stimulate American manufac-
tuners one authority has said that Of
fourteen million bales produced in this
country last year, eleven million may
be marketed without access to the
usual markets in Germany, Austria
ana Russia.
The plan proposed for the relief of
the southern cotton growers is neither
safe nor sane once begun that sort
Of thing might lead anywhere. If the
cotton growers are entitled to aid Of
this kind, are not the copper producers
deserving of federal help? Why not cs-
tablish government warehouses for
copper where the surplus red metal
may be stored and made the basis of a
loan of, say, ten cents the pound?

The French organization is striking

an entire brigade of cavalry, two regi-
ments Of 500 men each or twice and
half the number OF mounted Ger
mans; besides a brigade Of horse and
foot artillery.
Ihere Will be no mention Of infan-
try regiments, officially, in connection
with the British army, the war organ
ization Of that nation being four bat
tallons of 1000 men TO the brigade Of
infantry. The British cavalry regi-
ment is very small unit, consisting
of four squadrons of hundred men
each, with two regiments to the brig

sists Of three six-gun batteries Of field
howitzers.
a Russian battalion of infantry con-
sists Of 500 men, a squadron of cav
airy Of 125 men and a battery of eight
guns.
IL must not be imagined that in
such reports of engagements as fill
ter through TO US the units referred
TO will ever represent the full numbers
Of the paper organization. So many
troops are required to guard lines of
communication and to perform the
thousand and one duties aside from
active fighting on the firing line that
the full strength of an army corps
almost never gets into action; and the
same thing Is more or less true all
down the line. 1t is safe enough to
discount the theoretical strength OF
any of the larger units by 20 to 30 per
cent. at least, and that of the smaller
ones by from 10 to 20 per cent. In
many cases the shrinkage from sick
ness, detailed service and other causes
will be much greater than that, not at
all considering the losses by -
bodies which have already beef

just disappeared stood on the south
east corner OF Varick and Beach
streets. For many years they attract
ed the attention Of artists and others
interested In the few existing memoir
ials of earlier days because of the sim
plicity and grace OF their neat Colo
NAL architecture. Viewed from the
street the entrances with the delicate
door posts surmOuntcd with Doric cap
itals, and a simple carved design in the
archway over the door, were their
characteristic features. This Colonial
style was maintained in a slightly
more elaborate manner inside, especi-
ally i'm the large front parlor, adorned
at one end with white enameled Doric
pillars and designs of fruit and flow
ers carved in the white marble of the
ld-fashioned fireplace.

EXPERT OPINION.

The potato experts now visiting the
copper country declare that the pota-
70 vines they have seen in Houghton
county are the best they have observ-
ed anywhere in their travels. They
have visited many of the well known
potato sections Of the country and
they know good potato vines when
they see them-and healthy potato
vines mean good potatoes. These ex-
perts simply endorse the copper coun-
try's boast that the potatoes grown
here have no superiors lin quality
There is a great future for the pota-
70 growers Of the district The local
tu5ers find a ready market. Not enough
a them are grown. but the time is
coming when the potato crop will be
large enough 20 meet the big demand.
