Little srvcn-Ncnr-olu Fred, who lives
In one of Xuncsvillc's suburbs, had
been aillng and his mother decided
that he needed dose of castor oil.
Fred was told that IL he were to
take the castor oil without complaint,
he would get . cents To spend for can

for the oil and ! cents for candy.

BY slDoNlE NJ. GUTENBERG.

A LICE, almost three years old,
~ was very busy scribbling forest
~ and cloud effects on the back of
Il circular letter; and she was
quite oblivious to the presence and con
Nersaton Of her mother and n visitor.
"Can she write YETI" asked the visi.
tor. ooh, no." beamed the mother,
I'VE do not wish to hurry her. But
she does love to play with pencils and
paper, and | think she Is going to be
an author" The visitor smiled indul-
gently. But this is what she thought:
"She is just as likely to become "a
cheap clerk or fourth.rate stcnog.
rapher." Which is quite true; only
there Is no use discouruging parents
too early in the game.
Parents naturally harbor secret am
billions as To the future of the children /;
we know that, because they sometimes
let the secret out. And IT is quite nat
ural that they should, because they
transfer To their children the hopes of
their own childhood, the hopes that
never cystalli2cd into reality. We can
therefore understand why the scrib-
blings Of Alice should suggest fine
writing to the mother, or why Tommy's
tinkering with the decrept alarm clock
should remind the father of that other
Thomas, the great inventor.
Not only Is IL easy tn understand
why parents do such things-which
must appear rather stupid or cOnccit-
cd to the parents Of other children
but it is very desirable that they
should continue to do more and more
of the same. For entertaining hopes
about children is about the surest
way OF guiding our plans and bring
ing unity into our treatment of the de-
veloping personality. The hopes can
certainly do no harm-unless they
blind us. But there is the real danger.
For II we have nothing to go by ey-
cept our hopes, we are just as likely
to he moved or paralyzed by our fears.
1t is natural for parents to translate
the random activities Of their children
The Red Cloud chief. [volume] (Red Cloud, Webster Co., Neb.) 1873-1923, 1916-08-03

into possibilities for achievement But
1t is just as natural to translate the
annoying or unconventional activities
INTO gnawing fear.
Charles Darwin tells us in his auto
biography of being rebuked by the
schOOlmaSter for wasting his time on
such subjects as chemistry. We should
explain this by saying that the school
master had no appreciation of n sub
Ject OF which he was totally ignorant.
But he tells us further that he was
greatly mortified when his father once
said to him: "You care for nothing
but shooting dogs and rat catching, and
you will be disgrace to yourself and
all your family" Now Darwin's faith
er was not an ignorant man, and he
was not unsympathetic; but his imagl-
nation was not equal 20 interpreting
the child's interests and activities in
terms other than those OF lOafing,
shooting and rat catching.
But IL the experience OF Darwin
should lead anyone to predict great
scientific career for the son of similar
IToCllNitlts, ne InuSl Ue WuTneu. Inc
youth OF Patrick Henry was charac-
terized by alternating spasms of run
ming wild and hunting In the woods
and spells OF extreme laziness. mo
persuasion could bring him either to
read or to work. his biographer
writes, "and every omen foretold a
life at best of medlOcrity, If not OF in
significance" Which only supports the
old suspicion that you must not put
too much trust in omens.
Again and again We find cases of
children who filled their parents with
despair and their teachers with dis
gust, only to emerge later into men
and women Of distinction and high So
clal value. The timid youth, backward
In school and slow to give any sign
or internal fires, develops into Il leader
In thought or in action. This should
not make us translate tmidlty and
backwardness into signs Of leadership.

which was calculated to increase the an

making 2.S9S million pounds In all, aside
from the 2lo million pounds otherwise
treated BY next February. therefore.
there is the prospect that the United
States will be able TO turn cut nearly Is
per cent more copper than was possible
at the beginning Of this year.
Such tonnages are far beyond what the
most visionary men in the copper trade
conceived possible when the war began
but so is the tremendous use Of the
metal in the war itself Early last year,
British authorities estimated that Ger
many was shooting away $4,000, 900 pounds
Of the metal annually; the mines Of that
country ordinarily produce $1,000 900
pounds. That was before Verdun and
the Somme, where the discharge Of a mil
lion shells q day is reported TO be no un-
common occurrence.
Even before copper became SO essential
to munition making, war sent the price
upward. Lake" copper sold in New
York in 1861 at an average Of 2 Ia cents
a pound; in 1864 at 47 cents. In July Of
the last-named year the price at one
time reached So cents During the Ma
poleonic wars, the price in London
touched 4 l-2 cents. What makes the
present situation different from the situ-
alton then existing is the metals present

use Of it in all kinds Of ammunition, as

degree of prosperity. that Is a thing
more or less to be expected
When Great Britain, through New
York representatives. closed a con-
tract last Saturday for 44s million
pounds of American copper--sn
amount equal to about one-fourth of
last years total refinery production
in this country-there were brought
rather forcefully to mind the predic-
tions made on Wall Street some
months ago that we were face to face
with a world famine in the red
metal"
Those warnings were uttered about the
time, near the end of last year, when
Great Britain placed an order here for
some 12o,oo00oo pounds, up to that time
the largest single contract ever made by
American copper producers. In that
month the price actually did advance
from 10 IL to % IA cents. Yet that pur-
chase was followed by no actual evidences
of famine"
Enough to Go Round,
1t seems to be fairly well established
by this time, therefore, that the world s
copper industry-more than 80 per cent
of which last year was carried on by
American companies-is able to provide
even for the enormous demands of war,
and still have enough left to go around
among domestic consumers. Last week 8
sale to Great Britain has not increased
the actual or prospective use of copper.
1t merely insured the buyers of regular
deliveries over the first half of next year,
