BUYING STOCKS AND BONDS

The stock market is perkng again. It isn't the sort of activity that big and repeated commis- sions for the brokers but a sort calculated please the country For tho heavy buying of high grade securities has been investment rather than speculation And according to Wall Street observers this is what it means:
 The people of the Middle West and Far West are enjoying unexpected prosperity from the big haryests and high prices, using their profits to buy good industrial railroad securities They have been doing this steadily during the past few weeks in growing vol ume until they raised the price level and strength eued Che market Nearly an the quotations now well above those or last July, before Che closing the Stock Exchange And sul they keep buying. not heavily but in "odd lots putting their savings to instead of hoardng them turning into the arteries of business, their mctmoney from the export war-trade

coLoRAoo,s WOMAN GOVERNOR

Colorado has not exactly elected a woman governor even if women do have vote in that state But the newly elected governor has decided that he needs assistant the governing job and that the assist ant ought to have the point of view As his wife has always been good partner and his right hand so speak he thinks she will make good as- sstant and has appointed her to that position

 Though it is possible that by turning matters affect ing women and children and legislation for and about t,em over to the judgement of the assistant the new governor will have great deal more time and energy left deal with such trning affairs as those of Trim idad. And it's also only possible but quite jrob ole that the affairs womeni and children Colorado V m be at least as ably handled as heretofore

WAR AN0 rHE WARREN plsrRIcr

It is six months almost to a day since the European war delivered its blow the worlds industries and the worlds peace It is only natural that those interests nearest home the which we consider most vital and therefore the in which the Warren Dstric withstood the wars paralyzing shock-how the com munity peace and the community were affected - i. brought sharply into focus by the decision of the min ing officials to raise wages in the mines
 Time alone will permit the local events of the past six months to be viewed from true perspective It will require time sizeup the enormy of circumstances Heads of families and those for whom they must pro vide; heads of corporations and those to whom they must make report of their stewardship; every soul in the Warren District all have passed through fires cal culated to prove the worth of men and women There stands forth above all in the survey of conditions they developed in the past six months, one potent fact It conserns the which Warren Dis tric stood together Employee employer customer and merchant rich and poor man squared them. selves and took the blows of circumstances unsenshly and unfinchingly
 Reducing the income of breadwinners cuts no less to the quick the righteous wagepayer than the afflicted wage earner The wage earners in the Warren mines did not mutter when curtailment upon them The put into effect by the mine operators without any meay mouthed excuses It must be they knew that they had MEN with which to deal The measures were adopted to ameorate conditions possible the attitude of adraIrabe fortitude exhibited every hand Merchants suffered distressing loss in trade to .'e everlasting credit of our business community it be said that the Warren District did suffer from the iuficron "war prices" Our trades scorned take advantage of buyers who patron ized them in better days
 That no community in this country was put 10 more severe test than Warren District because the European war is statement well within the truth. The measure of copper profits mark the ebb and flow prosperity in community. Copper is one commod- itie sensitive to the influence Of industrial up- heayas The copper market was crushed by me war. It did follow. however. that the war crushed the Warren District and this because the Warren Dis rict declined be crushed The community was equip ped with force which best be appreciated reserve force was the character community This character revealed itself as composite courage patience frugality when the need demanded and a wholesome cooperative spirit
 This first raise in wages following the war-cut fur uishes no occasion for fusome exaltation. foretes rather what may be when normal conditions are established. While it is true that thousands of dollars win be restored bimonhly the pay checks and the pinch of the household retrenchment will be lessened the of the mine officials serves more orccfuly to accentuate the fact that Che Warren District faced crisis and come out of it but little scathed.
