EYES, EARS AND BRAINS

Begin the new year by a judi
cious use Of your eyes, your ears,
and your brains-especially your
brains.
They are instruments through the
medium Of which you will achieve
success or failure in life.
Use your brains today by resolv-
ing that you will do your utmost
in 1916 for the upbuilding and
expansion and your own town-for
this town. And after you have re
solved, devote the rest of the
year to doing.
Remember that the business in.
terests of this town will prosper
and thrive only as they are sup
ported by the people themselves
by you.
And bear in mind that the value
Of your own holdings is determin-
ing greatly by the prosperity of
the town and of the countryside
surrounding us.
Never lose sight of the fact that
the money you send to other places
will never enrich this city, 1t is

A THOROUGH TEST

Mount Sterling Reader

The test Of time is the test that

Testimony like this cannot be

frequent in passage, especially at
night, but the flow was scanty.

BIRTH OF A YEAR OF wHAT7

With the birth of the new year
the question will naturally arise,
"What will it bring usq"
Will it be peace, or WARP Will
it be plenty, or wantH
No human being can answer
that question today, though some
may make ludicrous bluff at do
ing so.
At no time in the life of the
present generation has the birth of
new year been fraught with so
much uncertainty with regard to
the world in general and our own
country in particular.
We all hope and pray that the
war may end and that the world
may return to some semblance of
sanity and commercial stability.
But there is no certainty-only an
intense longing for something that
is not.
We are e;i;Sis;Hi;;Hss faith 10 tho
ability of our country to keep
free from foreign entanglements,
but again there is no certainty
only an abiding faith that may be
founded upon the phantasies of
dreams.
We are looking and longing for
the day to come when men will
cease to butcher one another and
return to the more humanizing pur-
suits of a peaceful life. But our
longing results only in more look
ing and longing. There is no
peace.
We anticipate a year of great
commercial prosperity for the
people of our country, and it viii
be theirs if no unforeseen combi-
nation Of incidents overturn the
tranquility of the nation. But in
this, too, there is an 'if," and the
if is not Of our making.
We are promised year of un-
exampled activities among the fac
tories, and in the fields, and in all
Of the markets of trade, but much
of it will depend upon the actions
of other nations than ours. And
we are today government and a
people without friends among other
peoples Of the earth.
We have grown and expanded and
developed until We are the richest
of all the countries of the world,
and yet our great wealth is today

months it will be almost impossible to
get an order accepted Even now
orders are carefully debated before
acceptance. Back in 1901 Schwab,
then the first president of the United
States Steel Corporation, provoked
much skepticism by predicting that
by 1920 the country would be produc

At that time the production was about
100000 Strangely enough the pro
duction of steel at the present time
is at the rate of just about the pre-.

ment of Mr.. Schwab's Bethlehem

once more that the optimist is far
more often right about the industrial
growth of this country than the pes
simist. The steel stocks have virtu
ally become war stocks through the

Gus centers; while immense enlarge
ments, consultations and reorganiza-
tions are appearing among the indie

stocks have fluttered upward. Mid

COPPER SPECTATORS HARD
HIT BY GREAT BRITAIN

LONDON, England.-With a view
to fixing the price of,copper and pre-
venting speculation in the metal on
the London market, the ministry OF
munitions has notified consumers in
Great Britain that they must not pur-
chase more than so tons of copper in
ere lot and must not pay more than
$500 per ton for refined copper.
1t appears that the British authori-
ties recently bought, mostly in Amer
lea, refined copper for delivery over
the whole of the present year at a
price which would enable the govern
ment to supply its munitions contract
ors at $500 per ton.
AS much as $3.50 was paid for
American refined copper in Londoc
the other day and the ministry of
munitions hopes that the step it has
now taken will greatly relieve con-
sumers in England engaged in war
work.

As matter of fact the most aston
J ishing part of the whole war-muni-
tons business and the most paradox
! ical-is that the additional values put
on stocks and bonds, general values
and personal fortunes since war or.
ders began to pour in have amounted
to about five times the total amount
of the war orders. This may seem al.
most impossible, yet the wide effect
of war orders on stocks is not appre.
ciated generally. Take the oil stocks,
for instance, which few. people have
noticed 1t is fact that something
like $150,0e0,000 in extra value has
been added to oil'stocks within recent
months.
What has happened to automobile
stocks as result of prosperity's slim.
illus to auto purchasing, is consider
ably more remarkable. Following are

Such gains in stocks mean in reality
gains in the personal fortunes of, first,
the underwriters who were foresighted
enough to guarantee the fotation of
stock and bond issues and second,
the men on the inside of corporations
which either had war orders, or were
indirectly affected by them, or by gem
eral improved prosperity. The under.
writer's of Chevrolet Motor Company,
for instance, have gained large sums,
as the stock rose from IS to almost
twice that amount. Five underwriters
of the Submarine Boat stock made
more than million dollars each. with.
