TRADE WEEK A FAILURE.

The Home Prosperity Trade
Week" in Greenwood this week
was a failure---very few people
being attracted here by the event.
The season of the year was EVIL
dently inopportune, the frequent
showers ofrain interfered to some
extent, the lack OF enthusiasm
on the part of many of the mer.
chants, and the busy season Of
farmers and their tenants with the
crops---all initiated against the
success of the affair. The COM
mittees in charge performed their
duties faithfully in every particu-
lar, and no blame can be attached
to them for the failure OF the
event to attract the people here
on this occasion.

PROFIT SHARING

Many misgivings are heard as t.
the future of the price Of copper,
for it would be sudden shock TO
the miners of the State if copper
should suddenly drop and the high
prices now being paid. S. IS pei
day. dropped to SO so. There should
be no fear on that score, however,
for it is practically certain that al
most all of the large copper pro-
ducers are selling large tonnages of
the metal for delivery in 1917, and
for som, months have had their en-
tire production sold for the year
1916. Constant dividends seem as
sured for considerable period. and
the present high wages will I'M
doubtedly be in force for many
months to come.
The sliding scale of wages is but
another method of profit sharing
and although organized labor in the
east has found profit sharing un.
satisfactory, on account of its fluctu
atoms and comparative uncertainty.
the labor unions of the west are
having period of the highest known
wages, and unprecedented prosper
ity, due entirely to the profit shar.
ing system.
Although the sliding scale of
wages applied to nothing over 20
cent copper, the mining companies
of the State voluntarily added ad.
ditional profits, making the sliding
scale reach to % cents. and many
of these same companies have since
increased that scale with the in
creased prices.

Long Distance .
Investments

Probably there has never been a
time when there was so much f,nan-
cial advertising in the big metro
politan newspapers. The stock mar
ket pages Of many Of them. are fair
ly covered with allurins PROPOSE
tions. Papers that circulate among
working people and persons Of small
means often got "a enormous guam
tity Of this advertising. perhaps quite
as much as papers that appeal par
ticularly to the Weather classes.
1t looks as though great many
people OF very slender resources
were being tempted into quite doubt
full propositions. OF course many Of
these promotions are no doubt all
right. But a great many OF them
are only partly developed prospects.
No man living can tell whether they
will be payers or not. i'
Formerly people of small means
used generally to put money into
savings banks. They were fearful
of stocks. and distrusted all forms
of paper securities. even the notes
and bonds of the solidest corpora
tions. Now lot of these same peo-
pie are allured by chances to make
fortune.
A woman who had made a pile
of money in very hazardous mining
operation advised all her friends to
go into such schemes. Where would
I be IL l hadnt?" she said. But
most of those who took her advice
will lose their pathetic little boards.
Meanwhile there are always a lot
of good properties and mortgages
and enterprises near ones home
town, in which people who are not
satisfied with bank interest can in
vest. They would not make any
body rich right off. but the money
would be there when it was wanted.
It's a good safe rule that venture
that promises extraordinary profits
also involves extraordinary risks.
Otherwise it would quickly be snap
ped UP by the insiders before the
general public got chance at it.

Small Ma
Economies.

A man asked us the other day IL
1t looked mean to collect rebate
checks from railroad. He lived in
a town where the trolley company
Z charges six cents TO each passenger
who does not pyovid, himself with
book tickets, but returns to the pass
enger rebate check good for one
cent. Stsg
This man said that most people
throw those checks away. The man
had stuck a lot Of cheeks into his
pocket until about so, worth. of
course, half dollar. He was figpr-
ing if he would have the nerve to
walk up to the company's Office and
collect the money, as he feared it
would be considered mean. l.
These are. days when people hate
to be- considered Jpenurious. They
are ashamed to wait for few cents
change. A payment anything like
correct is Tnear enough" ~
1t may not. pay the average man
in these days Of large wages. to
bother too much about the pennies.
But the moment one becomes indif-
ferent to small sums. at the same
time he gets careless about large r
ones. A habit of exact accounting
is a good one in both ones bust
ness and family accounts. ......l
1t is a good idea to keep strictly
correct accounts. recording every
little payment. and paying everyone
you owe and collecting all that is
due. 1t developes a methodical hab-
1t of mind that is exceedingly use
full in these days of free spending
and high prices.
Probably one reason why 1t costs
SO much to live is that dealers have
discovered that the average man Is
indifferent about pennies and nickels.
He thinks he can add FIVE cents to
every pound of meat or vegetables
without anyone noticing it. But when
the total is footed up at the end OF
the year. everyone bowls. .-

The City -ar a.
Managers Job. :

The City Managers Association.
which has lust held it's annual meet
ing at Springfield, Mass, is bringing
a new type of municipal officer into
public view. The idea of placing
one man. supposed to be compe-
tent expert. in charge of the entire
business operations of city seems
to be making some progress. At the
same time there are certain OBJ
stacles in the way of successful re-
alization of the idea that deserve
thorough investigation by any COM
munity considering this plan.
To carry out the functions OF a
city manager, a fellow needs quite
varied equipment. He must first be
a technical expert. He must know
whether he is getting his moneys
worth OF iron pipe and hundred
other materials. He must be able
to build highways that will stand
wear, to lay sewers that will drain.
TO provide pure water, to build
school houses and other structures
economically.
At the same time he must be a
good judge of human nature, a good
executive. He must know when his
subordinates are "sojering." He
must be able to get harmonious.
loyal, energetic labor. He must also
be a good financial man. He must
be able to straighten out the tangle
into which SO many systems OF mu
nicipal bookkeeping are apt to fall.
To combine these accomplish
ments aud native gifts takes an all
around man. II they could be united
In one personality. he could save al
most any city money. But the one
great trpbie is the baIeful '-nuenoe
