All The Year Round Fight.

Everywhere this ought to be
the rule. to regard these enemies
of the human race as personal
enemies and fight to exterminate
them. And now is sthe time to
prepare for the onslaught Of the
house fly and mosquito. We do
not want them to breed and we
want to eliminate the breeding
place without delay, and then
keep the fight up every day of
the year.-Salisbury Post.

LEGISLATIVE NEWS.
Bill Enacted to Abolish Office
Of County SUPERVISOR
Other Matters Affect
ing the County.
Editor of The News:

Editor of The News:
am enclosing a copy of the
bill which the Lancaster delega-
ton has put thru to abolish the
Office of County Supervisor.
Briefly stated, the law provides
that the office of County Super
visor shall be abolished and a
board of five county.commission-
ers be appointed with long terms
of two to six years so that the
term of not more than one shall
expire in any one year. This law
will take effect at the end of the
terms of the present county
supervisor and county commits
sioners. We believe that this
will take the business manage
ment of the county's affairs out
of politics and put it on a firm
business basis.
The delegation recommended
the following men for the Coun-
ty Board of Registration: w. c..
A. Porter, w. A. Caskey, and R.
J. Flynn.
We have provided that the
magistrate of Gills Creek town.
hip shall have concurrent iuris-
didction with the magistrate of
Cane Creek township; and we
have provided that the consta-
bles be required to convey to
the county chaingang, directly
after conviction. all persons SEN
fenced thereto by the magis-
traces respectively served by
them.
We have provided two addi-
tlonal voting precincts, one at
Tabernacle school house and one
at Midway school house.
The county supply bill has
passed the House and been sent
to the Senate. For Lancaster
county we have been able to re-
duce the tax levy about one-half
mill, Notwithstanding the fact
that we have given the road and
Nrld@e fund six mills instead Of
five last wear, and we have the
additional amount of $500 for
Home Demonstration woyl; and
$3.50 for the vital statistics law.
The gallon-a-month law has
been amended cutting the
amount down to one half gal
Ion. or in lieu of the one half
60 pints of beer NAV be
ordered; but you cannot get both
the liquor and the beer.

No other single factor per-
haps would mean as much to the
future of Lancaster as better
railway connections and an in
terurban system traversing a
section of country in need of
such facilities would be great
asset to this town. The pro-
position should be considered.
The interurban electric rail
way has helped along the deveI-
opfnsAt of other sections and
would help Lancaster county as
well.

NEW COINS READY
 F0R CIRCULATION

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-f some one hands you a silver coin that has an unfamiliar look, don't refuse it in the belief that it is counterfeit or of foreign origin. The probabilities are that it will be sample of Uncle Sam's new mintage, which is about to be placed in circulation in compliance with the law that requires change in the designs of the silver pieces once in every twenty years.
 The new coins now ready for circu- lation consist of half-dollars, quarter dollars and dimes. For more than a month the United States hints in Phil adelphia, Denver and San Francisco have been turning them out at a rate of about 0,000 worth day, so that now the amount on hand is sufficients to be placed in circulation over the en- tire country within the next few days.
 The design of the new half-dollars is considered a higher type of art than the coins that have for so long been familiar. The markings are not so prominently cut and the coin has much smoother appearance. On one side of it is the figure of the Goddess of Liberty holding in one arm bunch of olive branches. Above the figure are the words "In God We Trust" be- low it is the word Liberty" On the opposite. side of the coin is spread eagle grasping an oak twig in his tall ons as he stands upon a rock. At the top is printed ''The United States of America" and at the bottom Half Dollar"
 One side of the new quarter has the full figure of woman coming through a gate in wall. On the opposite side there is pictured an eagle in flight. The new dime is of sharper cut. On one side is the head of woman. Over the head is printed the word Liberty" and in the lower left hand corner the date. The obverse side of the coin has bundle of Roman "fasces" tied tightly together, with an axe and a strong oak stick. Below the cutting is the Latin quotation ''E pluribus unum."
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1916-09-15
THE METAL MARKET

Copper is quiet, but the tone of the market is very strong. Lake and electrolytic are selling for 2S cents cash, and for delivery during the last three months of the year prices range from 27 34 to 27 1=2 cents. There are some consumers, both domestic and foreign, whose requirements for the remainder of this year have not been fully covered, and their buying consti- tutes practically all the activity there is in the market at the present time. Producers have sold nearly all the copper they will be able to deliver up to the end of this year and have book ed a number of substantial orders for the early months of 1917.
 It is a well known fact that the al- lied governments of Europe must soon enter the market and purchase a large tonnage of copper. Some weeks ago they were reported to be negotiating for 500, 0,000,G00 pounds deliverable dur ing the first six months of 1917. The transaction has not been closed, and it may be that the agents of these gov ernments will decide to buy smaller amount for delivery during the first three months of the year. That they must have the copper and that the pro- ducing companies of the United States alone are able to supply it are facts which admit of no discussion. The progress of the war does not indicate the early approach of peace. If the allies are to win they must do so by continuous hard fighting and the lib- eral use of ammunition. Therefore it is certain that the war consumption of copper will continue as long as the war lasts.
 41 @f has increased very greatly during the past year. The outside world having recovered completely from the finan- cial and business shock occasioned by the war, industrial prosperity exists everywhere. In other countries than the United States new enterprises are being established, building is active and electrification is making great progress.
 There is nothing in the situation upon which to base doubt that the av- craze price of copper will be fully as high in 1917 as it has ruled this year. The increase in production will be rel atively small and no surplus stocks of the metal will be carried over from the present year. If it were their disposi- tion to do so the producing companies could advance the price of copper sev- eral cents a pound and still sell their entire outputs. Instead they are en- deavoring to supply the trade by fore ing their operations to the full limit of capacity and by declining to with hold any portion of their product from sale.
 Notwithstanding the very high level of prices the copper market is in a perfectly healthy condition, and nothing but developments which can not be foreseen now can cause any material decline in quotations during the coming year.

C. WEDlG DECLARES PENN'S
 THICK IS BEST
Prominent Bisbee Blacksmith Praises Famous Plug
 Tobacco

Men who know tobacco chew Penn's Thick for the genuine en- joyment it gives them. One of these is C. Wedig, prominent blacksmith of Bisbee, Ariz., and what he says is worth reading. Here IS his statement:
 "PENN'S THICK is the best chewing tobacco I have ever used. The flavor is wonderfully rich and I have always found every plug to be all tobacco. I am glad to recommend it to any tobacco chewer as it is the only chewing tobacco I have used for three years"
 Penn's Thick is made only of mild, tender, sun-ripened White Burley leaf. The luscious juices are pressed evenly through the whole plug, SO that every chew of Penn's Thick gives you lasting comfort and pleasure.
 If for any reason Penn's Thick does not exactly suit you, take it back-your dealer is authorized to refund your money. Get a 1oc cut to-day and try Penn's Thick the most delicious of chews.
