NEW RATE FOR
 COPPER LESS THAN 2Sc
from Saturdays Daily)

NEW YORK, July 13.-lt was re- ported from Washington this evening that Secretary Daniels had reached an agreement with the copper produc- CTS on the terms of a 6O,O0000O-pound government order. He will pay three quarters of the g cents pound hg- ure which has been discussed and leave the remaining g per cent to be adjusted after the Federal trade com mission has determined the cost of production. This Is not as favorable q settlement as the fiat 25-eent price which the Street had been led to ex- pcct would be granted. The main question ahead of the copper com~ panics seems to be whether the presi- dents declaration is that the same prices must be given to the pubic that arc given to the government. It it is. it will mean a maximum price ot g cents 9 pound to be charged for all copper during the course of the war with the probability that somewhat lower price will be fixed after the Fed cral trade commission hands in it's report.

A MARVELLOUS PRODUCTION.
The Lyric Gave It's Patrons Much Ii
 "The Birth of a NatiOn."'

When Manager Blair eff the Lyric theater secured "The Birth of,s Na- tion' for Mena those who were ac- quainted with The Clansman," the story on which it1isibased, knew there was an unusual treat in store for the playgoers.
 It was lamentable thing that when the films came on the first date they had been so handled as to make proper presentation impossi- bic, causing Mir. Blair. after giving most or the matinee to cancel his contract and refund the money to ticket holders. At this time the matinee performance filled the house and at f o'clock all but 25 seats were sold for the night show
 And then, on the second and suc- cessful presentation, there was but a fair patronage.
 In this time of war such a story as told in The Birth of a Nation" tOoiu D0t III liiS llfdtiS tiiitAAtliS dklh thoughts to the beholder. Before the eyes the terrors of that other war were portrayed so vividly as to bring forth gasps and murmurs of distress in the audience. The carnage, the cruelty-the peace of war, death, were all there, but there was no poison gas, no noisome trenches, no barbed wire entangle- ments, no machine guns, tanks, !" airplanes nor-submarines.
 And in all the horrors of the car pet bag government and negro domination of the South that justi- fled the Ku Klux Klan and it's work ings, there was no such brutality, no such atrocities as have been suf- fered in Belgium and France at German hands. And all thru the terror in our land there were touches of humanity and love, of tenderness and justice, as we'll as retribution.
 The Birth of Nation is wou- derful. As a friend once sad: Never miss a chance to see it.
 Something good is expected, toe, on Thursday night, when "1he Fall of a Nation" also based on book by Thomas Dixon, the author of The Clansman," is to be given.
