COPPER LOWER

During the past two weeks the price
of copper has reeeded from IT'S high
level, caused apparently by the piling
up of the supply in European eenters,
and a large increase in output. Low
err prices, however, will no doubt in
crease the local consumption. AS
long as the war lasts there will be a
strong demand for the red metal al
from Is to 20 cents per pound, and
as all the larger companies are pro.
during around cents, shareholders
will have no reason for complaint.

SUM M Err HON ES

One of the big features of the
modern vacation season Is the great
number of people who own or rent lit
tie shacks in the country, mountains,
or on the seashore. Little wildwood
lakes that never used to hear any,
thing more exciting than bird calls or
the whistle OF the farmers boy, now
resound with the laughter of gaily
dressed young people. Families that
have ample homes in cities will in
habit little shanties with scarce the
space contained in couple of rooms
at home.
The beauty of summer bungalow
life is its homeiike feeling. At sum-
mer hotel, no matter how charming
the company, one has the feeling of
always being under inspection. 1t is
perpetual dress parade. The COS.
sips have nothing to do but to watch
their fellow sojourners. You must be
scrumptlously dressed every minute,
or acquire a reputation for under
breeding, Many people enjoy that
Kind og thing. 1t Is the game of life
for them, and they like the COMPETE
ton in good manners and style.
With others a summer vacation
means general relaxation. Half the
pleasure of the thing Is wearing ev-
eryday clothes. There is a sense Of
relief in not having to do the soci-
ETY. act.
Summer hotel life is particularly
irksome to the children. To q live
boy, whose ideal is the American In
dian, the soJourn at a place where he
must go through a perpetual grind of
washing, combing, shoe backing,
dressing up in clean clothes, Is tor
ture indeed. When in addition to
that he must answer questions, tell
his name and his age and how far
along he is in school, the thing is
uncomfortable to juvenile flesh.
A family vacation ought to be gen.
eral rough and tumble for the young.
sters. The dirtier they are, the hap.
pier. and commonly the better OFF
physically. Many families break with
favcrite hotel resorts at about the
time when their children get active
and demand free and untrammeled
life in some little family home Of
their own.

HARD LABOR OF FARMING

As one travels about the country
districts in harvest time, he gets the
impression that agriculture is hard
and exhausting work. He looks al
the perspiring workers in the corn
field, and thanks goodness that he is
growing soft and lazy in some indoor
job. He pities the toilsome farmer,
reputed to rise at or 5 o'clock and
work until dark and condemned to
tasks that involve much physical eff.
fort.
Theoretically the modern farmer
may be supposed to put the more la
borious tasks on hired help. But help
Is scarce, and to save crops in times
Of eXigency he must frequently take
hold and work with his own hands.
Only thus can he spur on tagging en-
ployes.
In our modern culture we have all
became too afraid of hard work.
Many a man is wearing his life out
in the bad air of an office, who would
greatly benefit his health by going in.
to farming. Also he would make an
addition to the depleted food supply
of the country.
But digging in the dirt, pitching
hay, hoeing corn would make his back
ache. He has probably tried II some
summer in a back yard garden. He
found himself exhausted by an hours
work with the spade. A great many
boys also are physically indolent. No
matter how hard they may play ball,
any active muscular eXertion at reg
uar tasks seems intolerable. No
doubt this is one of the great rea-
sons why boys used to rush to the
big cities.
The fact that anyone is physical
ly wearied by brief muscular activity
does not prove that he could not do
active work. 1t takes some time to
develop muscle. But any person
with a sound constitution ought to be
able in year or two to perform the
farmers ordinary tasks with energy
and buoyant feeling. The hours of
labor may be long in summer. But
the rush Of overwork is no greater
than in other professions. And there
are several months in which farm.

time than any one else.

THE VACATION HABIT

In previous generation, vacations
were the rare exception. Ministers
and teachers got them. business men
didn't usually care to quit. II they
withdrew their noses from their ledg-
ers, they might lose 81 so. That
would be terrible. As for working
people getting any outing that was
unheard Of
Factories probably worked In a
more unremitting way then Orders
were given for large lots long time
ahead, Most shops were busy In
summer making goods for the next
winter. Today more orders are CIV
en for quick deliveries. Factories run
at high pressure, then times are lull
Many working men may not get any
formal and regular vacation, but there
are times when the shop Is shut down
when they get all the loanng they
care for.

To-day the farm people do a great

THE ART OF ADVERTISING

The good advertising writer never
forgets that he is producing copy iof
n newspaper. The public reads
newspaper for the news. II Is no.
looking primarily for general de-
scriptions of the beauties OF a town
or a general account of its every day
occupations and interests. 1t wants
to know what happened yesterday or
last week Any account Of an event
that has just taken place wins a
great many more readers than gen.
eral description of an institution or
the features Of the town.
Similarly. SO far as possible an
advertisement should be a newsy ac'
count of the most important things
that have Just happened in that store.
The merchant should give an account
of the lot of goods that he has just
bought and placed on his shelves.
Every bout that a merchant has with
statesmen and wholesalers Is an event
which he can handle in newsy way
II he will. If he has a good bargain
he can tell the public about 1t and
tell just why he thinks 1t Is a good
bargain. II he can't find any rea-
sons for his belief, the chances are
that he hasn't got bargain that the
public will be interested in.
Or II he is reducing prices on
lot of goods in order to clear them
out and get his capital into cash he
should emphasize and explain this de-
velopment in his business life as a
news feature. In such ways he will
conform and appeal to the intense
public desire to know what Is going
on now, what has happened the day
before.
There are always interesting events
In the life of business to write
about. He should take the public
into his confidence and tell them
about 1t, make some consequence of
il. Every reduction in price is news.
These developments in every day re-
tail trade are read in the homes quite
as much as the dispatches from the
European war.
