The Big Copper Order

There is much to interest those who interested
the continued prosperity of the southwest In recent
New York dispatch that agents of the entente allies
chiefly French and British have placed order IN the
United States for than 100000 pounds Of cop
per to be delivered during the year 1917 price said
to be between 27 and % cents. The price per pound
judging from the dispatch, is apparently guess work.
but the transaction understood to involve the
penditure of SIPS 100000 If that be true, the AGO.
100000 pounds of copper will either bring more than
% per pound the order is very much in
Of 100000 pounds.
the optimism have all been feeling because Of the
is for than 100000 pounds, that alone is
onesxth of the total production for this banner year
Of 1916 This years production is estimated at 24oo
100000 pounds, worth, at IS cents pound, $780,,
100000. Assuming, then, that the 1917 production
cannot well be greatly in of this years. It is
easy to what very important factor that single
order will be in 1917.
Even if peace comes, the demand will not slacken-
The world will want copper for peaceful enter
prises than it has used for Copper producers state
that there is already copper available for immediate
delivery and that the metal is being sold months ahead
of its production The copper companies and the cop
per miners Of the southwest need fear no slump for
good while Everything points to continuance of the
present great prosperity in copper.
1t cannot be too strongly impressed, however that
IS the time for copper companies and their EN-
poyes to be saving money. Don't spend 1t all because
it is pouring in larger than before for
the condition may not last Save some Of it. Now is
the time for Strengthening all around.

II HAS been half a generation at
least since Phineas T Barnum
u passed out Of this world. but his
name today has the same potent fas-
cination it had half a century ago when
he was in the flesh. one Of the best
known personages in the world, for the
name is still associated with a circus:
and who does not thrill at the mere
mention that the clowns and the
calliopes and the elephants and the
bespangled riders are coming again?
When we get too old to thrill over the
circus. IL is time TO call Jack Raster or
Frank Simmons or Jim Peak. for We
aren't much use any more anyhow. As
his press agent truly says-this is one
time a press agent has confined himself
to fact-there were presidents of the
United States whose names were con-
temporaneous with the great Snowman.
but they have almost been forgotten:
not so with Barnum- As a tribute to
the lasting value OF printers ink and
the American love for the circus the
name Of ?. T. Barnum is today familiar
TO as many people as almost any other
name in the world
II was once said Of Barnum. or II may
be that he has said il OF himself. for he
was master advertiser. that there was
no other face the American people
knew as well as they did his. with
possibly the exception OF George Wash

4 NdratiOe of Everyday Afairs

~HE house party was becoming
a huge success by the time Sat

WILCOX Dan Benedict was on the other
side OF Miss Wilcox. and she kept her
witticisms rolling between the two men
impartially
Helen had gone TO her room early 10
dress. She was feverish to be ready
before Warren should return. She did
lot want any words with him while she
was at Babies. Somehow she had an
intuitive desire TO avoid Warren as
much as possible after her discovery.
Evidently in the moral code of such
women as Lola Wilcox a mans wife
played a very small role, hardly more
than that of a super. It was horrible
Helen had heard vaguely Of such
things as emotional friendship between
a man and a woman. They had seemed
abnormal TO her. and the thought of
Warren's drifting into such an affair
made her almost frantic. She wondered
what she would do if the time ever
came when she could say TO herself
that there was no need OF patching
things up. and she would have to tell
Warren that she could not bear 1t any
longer.
She thought OF all these things while
she was dressing for dinner The little
gown that she had bought was a queer
little thing. It was a left over model
from the summer season that Helen had

she had thought it entirely unsuitable,
and then a queer freak of fancy had

It was really the type OF gown that
a woman like Lola Wilcox would
choose-Queer and almost barbaric
of black lace with touches OF flaming
scarlet The neck was cut out very low
in front. although the gown was an
afternoon model, and had a rolling
collar OF scarlet. the sleeves were OF
black lace with soft wide, rolling cuffs
of scarlet. and there were touches of
red cleaning through the lace all over
the dress.
Helen had bought black slippers with
red heels. and when she was finally
ready and turned to look at herself
in the mirror. she felt like a lamb
decked out for the slaughter.

Canning Tomatoes

What wheat is to the plains country of New Mexico,
the tomato become to the Mimbres valley Of the
same state Some figures, lately published in Demiug
show the prominence of culture in that locality
in a strong light.
They have a tomato cannery IN the Mimbres valley,
and It is now turning tomatoes into the canned product
at the rate of between 10000 and 10000 pounds daily
In the first two weeks of the present season. the factory
put up 5000 cans. Up to week ago Sunday night
the total canning rs 900 cans which is quite good
showing for the Mmbres Growers and Canning assoca
ton in which many people in the Mmbres valley
interested
Lack of a market seemed to stand in the way of
ensive tomato culture for time but the cannery has
solved that tomato in IS stable as smoked
ham in sack, and perhaps At any rate it will
keep practically indefinitely. There is the point of ad
vantage to the Mimbres growers They raise their
tomatoes pick and them, and then the association
sell the product as it pleases.
The Mimbres cannery was enlarged this year to han
die greater quantity of tomatoes and it has been
busy throughout the Next year it is expected
larger acreages will be planted, for the present
season has been most satisfactory.
This is one instance in which the humble tin has
