Copper Output
Mostly Sold to
Domestic Users
Phelps, Dodge & Co. Earn
ings More than Double
Those Of 1915

Less than one-third OF the 2i7.3o5.9s'
mounds Of refined copper sold in 1915
BY Phelps. Dodge & Co., was shipped
ont Of the United States. The annual
report shows that 176.46S,527 pounds
were taken for domestic account
while the remaining 7o,s35,o6o pounds
were sold abroad. The company did
the biggest business in its history
more than doubling the earnings oil
1915.
James Douglas. president Of the COM
pany. says in his remarks to the
stockholders that every effort has been
made to increase production TO inc
maximum output, in order to take ad-
vantage of the extraordinary and ao'
normal conditions in the copper indus
try due 20 the great demand for the
metal not only for the manufacture OF
munitions, but also other articles IN
which there has been an expanding
trade to meet the requirements of mar
kcts formerly supplied by the warning
nations.
The report shows earnings for 1916
Of s24.O3O sos, compared with $lO,9Sl,-
512 in 1915 and S6.G64,S39 in 1914. The
balance Of SCI ,974,263, after allowing
s2,O56. $40 for depreciation, was equal &c
1888 per cent on S45,000,000 capita
stock, compared with 21.6O per cent on
the same capitalization in 1915, and
1881 per cent in 1914. The surplus
from the years operations. after diyi'
dends. was s7,3i9,263, compared with
s7e0.A75 in 1915 and $364,S39 in 1911

Mr.. Douglas says the market during
the wear was most active, with the de-
nand for nearby deliveries exceeding
the supply. As a result contracts by
large consumers for their future re-
ouirements of electrolytic copper have
been placed for periods beyond those
at which copper has been contracted
for in ether years. lie points out
that as result Of the above condi-
ton metal prices based on current quo
tations representing offers for spot
copper are deceptive and are not in
dicative of prices actually received by
producers.

Estimated Wheat Requirements.

In Department of Agriculture Cir
cular rs, which recommends the
sowing of 47,337. 900 acres to winter
wheat and 5,131,O00 acres to rye
this fall is given the following state
ment regarding the estimated re-
quirements of the United States and
the allied and neutral countries of
Europe for 1917-18.
To supply the estimated needs of
the United States, of the allies, and
in part of the neutral countries of
Europe next year, it would be neces
sary to plant in the United States for
1918 about 48.7 million acres of
winter wheat, 10 million acres of
spring wheat, Sc million acres of
rye, 7.9 million acres of barley, 45.2
million acres of oats, and Ills mil
lion acres of corn. Compared with
the 10year average, the proposed
acreages represent increases of 43
per cent for winter wheat, per
cent spring wheat, 20 per cent all
wheat, 124 per cent rye, per cent
barley, 22 per cent oats, and per
cent corn, or a total increase of %
per cent over the 10-year average of
these cereals combined. Compared
with 1917, these acreages represent
increases of % per cent for winter
wheat, Is per cent for all wheat, 81
per cent for rye, and per cent for
oats, and decreases of per cent for
barley and of per cent for corn, or
net increase of AS per cent over
the total 1917 acreage of these
cereals combined. With the food re-
quirements of the United States and
the allied and neutral countries of
Europe for next year in mind, the
question of the acreage which it is
advisable and practicable to plant
demands serious thought.

FRIDAY, oCToT ER s, 1912.

Because the Baltimore city Demo-
cratic ring did not succeed in con-
trolling the recent Democratic State
convention and writing into the
platform a plank endorsing the
annexation scheme, the daily press
of the Monumental city is making
an awful howl, and telling us every
day in column after column of stuff,
that the election is all over except
the shouting and that the Republi-
cans have made a clean sweep.
The Baltimore daily press has a
wonderfully winning CD way about
TIT believes in examining down
the throats Of everybody whatever it
chooses to endorse, regardless of the
merits of the question, and about
the surest way to make any political
question unpopular with the counties
is to have this same Baltimore daily
press champion it in their dictatorial
manner. 1t has not been so many
months ago since they were preach
ing cooperation between the city and
the counties, but their one idea OF
cooperation is for the city to boss
the job.
After all the annexation question
is one that affects Baltimore city
Baltimore county and Anne Arundel
county, and can hardly be made a
Statewide political issue as the Bal
timore city press is attempting tC
make it in the present campaign, with
the hope of handing over the Legis-
lature to the Republicans, because
the Democrats refused to endorse ii
while the Republicans saw fit to dc
so in State convention.

To Prevent Waste BY Fire.

The Maryland Conservation Asso-
citation to prevent waste by fire, has
been organized with Offices on the
9Th floor of the Maryland Life Build
ing, No. 10 South Street, Baltimore,
This is the working body of this
State of the Committee of National
Defense of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, through whom
the services of thousands of expert
Inspectors all over the United States
have been offered to the United
States Government.
The work of the Maryland Con-
servation Association is directed by
an Executive Committee composed of
John P LAUDER, Chairman, Albert G.
Hancock, VIM. G. Poe, Jr., Harry T.
Poor, John Y. Sheehy, and John H.
Kenney.
The Association pays it's own ex-
penses, and it's workers give their
services without pay, many of them
to the exclusion of their own work
for the time being. 1t has on its
staff for Maryland sixty (60) trained
Inspectors and several hundred
assistants who are grouped accord
ing to the Counties of the State
under the direction of District Chair
man. Each Chairman of District
arranges meetings of the County and
Municipal officials, Fire Department
officials, civic and trade bodies, and
explains the object and manner of
carrying on the work. 1t goes with
out saying that everyone is ready
and willing to cooperate. The great
prevent waste by fire, and this can
only be accomplished by united and
cooperative effort on the part of all
the people of the state.
In this no one can claim exemp-
ton; it is a work in which everyone
can help, the housewife by care, the
humblest employee by observing
rules of safety, foremen, superinten-
dents, owners, visitors, customers, in
fact every one can help, and there
should be no slackers.
The motto of the Maryland Con-
servation Association is, can ounce
Of prevention is better than pound
Of cure in helping to win the war"
Safeguarding Industry by prevent
ing waste by fire as a war time neces-
sity, is the title of book published
in connection with this work which
The Association is distributing upon
request.

War Loans and Taxes.

We desire to call your attention to
situation which may seriously affect
the future salary or income of every
individual.
The annual income of the country
is 0,000,00O,0O0 This has been
none too great to meet the needs of
industry and commerce in times of
peace. During the first year of the
war the Government may possibly
need to spend 100000, 100000.
Where is it to come from?
The war cannot be won if the
industries upon which the Govern
ment relies for war material are
cramped or bankrupt. A large part
of the vast sum needed to bring the
victory and the peace we all long for
must come through real sacrifice on
woman.
Approximately half the income OF
every individual in the Nation must
go into Government War Loans and
taxes. The Government program
must be carried out The more
readily this is done the less delay
will result in our war preparations
the fewer lives will be lost.
We must all spend less and save
more. Unless the people practice
thrift the nation will 10: thrive
This has been true in the long run
in the history of every nation, even
in times of peace. 1t is infinitely
more vital in war times. 1t is OF
supreme Importance now, when we
are still far from the climax of the
greatest war in the worlds history.
Not only must we save to win the
war-but we must save if We are to
survive.
You are urged to begin now to
adjust your affairs so as to enable
you to subscribe to the maximum of
your ability to the next Government
Bond issue.
We urge this because
1t will help you,
1t will help your family.
1t will help your country.
1t will help civilization.

Gussia Sets The Pace In Giving
Women The Vote.

Suffrage is universal in Russia, "
explains Charles Edward Russell,
'ack from Russia with the American
Commission and now reporting his
experiences in the October issue OF
Iearst's Magazine.
ST mention this fact once more in
he hope (probably vain) that | may
gain some attention for it, / don't
know why the world mas elected to
dwell forever on Russian anarchy
that never existed and calmly ignore
the Russian progress that has been
so great and so veritable. The
moment the wormy old structure of
Imperialism fell over there was but
one thought in the mind of every
body, and that was universal adult
suffrage. Nobody opposed it; every
body was for it-instinctively The
worst old troglodyte in all Russia
had not single growl in him about
home as the place for women, about
the degrading influence of the bal
lot, or the terrors of the ignorant
vote.
Compare, then. our own exalted
achievements on these lines. After
fifty years of ceaseless campaigning
we have won in America full suffrage
for women in nine States and part
suffrage for women in three or four
others. After sixty years of argu-
ment and five years of what was
really civil war, the English suffra-
gists have won too a sight of a part
of the justice they demanded. In
Russia, suffrage for women was
achieved in a moment and without
discussion. 1t was taken as a
matter of course. To the Russian
mind democracy meant democracy;
it didn't mean a fake arrangement
under which one-half of the popu-
lation was denied any share in the
government that governed them.

Seeding Wheat.

Farmers using their own wheat
for fall planting should rot spare
the tanning mill. A whole day spent
tanning and cleaning the seed would
be day we'll spent. It :s'an excel
lent plan to put the seed through the
mill three or four times, because
each tanning removes immature
shriveled seed. Only plump, well
ripened seeds should be planted
After thorough cleaning the seed
should be treated for disease.
If it is necessary to purchase seed
from outside sources, it is best to
patronize a neighbor whom you
know raises good wheat, or other
wise insist on getting seed grown as
near your home as possible. In
either case, it will do no harm to fan
it again when you get it home, to
insure healthy and clean kernels.

Maryland Asked To Furnish Eight
Mess Attendants Each week.


Patriotic colored men who desire
to serve their country in the war are
afforded an opportunity through the
need of the Navy for mess-attend-
ants.
The Bureau of Navigation has
asked Maryland to supply eight
mess-attendants each week until the
full complement in this branch of
the naval service has been recruited:
Applicants must be between the
ages of 18 and rs years, the other
qualifications being a good, moral
character and a reasonable expert
ence as waiter. Recommendations
as to character and ability are also
preferred.
The pay for mess-attendants is
$37 month in addition to clothes
and subsistence, and men going into
the Navy in this rating can promote
themselves to steward, with a sub
stantial increase in pay.
In view of the large cofored popu-
lation of the State, the Maryland
Navy Recruiting Authorities antic-
ipate little difficulty in filling the
quota.
Full particulars of Navy enlist
ments can be obtained from the
nearest postmaster; directly from
the Navy Recruiting Station, Calvert
and Lexington Streets, Baltimore, or
from the Navy Recruiting Sub-sta-
tions at Cumberland and Hagers-
town.

How The War Has Changed Newport

How The War Has Changed Newport
Like thousands of other places,
Newport has been made over by the
war. The very streets look differ
ent; the spirit of its people has
undergone a sweeping transforma-
ton. Although this is true of every
other city, yet I think it is most
evident in Newport in the past
the spirit of Newport has been social,
it's activities have been the activities
of society, and in many ways it has
been a social model for the rest of
America"
Mrs. French Vanderbilt is the
authority for this statement. She
has written for the October issue of
Harper's Bazar an article on the Red
Cross and other war relief work in
Newport.
Naturally, with such serious work
on all sides, the character of New
port has changed completely. And
the cause for this change was the
visit of the "U-53." The people of
Newport had to house and care for
the victims of this merciless raider
of the seas. They were, however,
not prepared for this sort of thing,
and on realizing it they built up,
without any loss of time, a very
efficient Red Cross organization, and
now everyone is engaged in some
kind of war relief work.

LANDS MUST BE
KEPT intact NOW
SAYS RIVENBURGH

Immediate action by congress which
will keep the lands of the territory
intact and cause no decrease in the
production of sugar at this time is the
vital necessity on the land question as
seen by Bertram G. Rivenburgh, land
commissioner, following his trip with
the congressman to the island of Ha.
wall.
With the world at war, Commission.
er Rivenburgh believes that the terri.
tory should hold onto its sugar lands
for the present, although he admits
that after the war conditions may
change which will allow the sugar
lands to be given out satisfactorily for
demonstrating. At present every acre
of sugar producing land should be
kept where it will not cease to pro-
Guce sugar, he believes.
Commissioner Rivenburgh pointed
cut that in demonstrating there is a
long period when the revenues that
come into the government from the
land will be small or nothing at all.
In many cases the sugar output would
be decreased, for the present at least,
by change. H..
= MY opinion on the question has not
Manged since my last visit to Ha-
VAIN said the commissioner. 81 main,
tain that We must give out homesteads
but we Eaust also strike some balance
between Nhe good and the bad, be-
tween the Territorial revenue and the
giving away sof lots which make that
revenue.
Il am goil B ahead with the 5000 or
1000 acres d homestead work now
under way al id the giving out of ara
BILE land that ht present does not grow
sugar. Some of this land can be made,
to grow sugar and some to grow other
produce of the farm. demonstrating
of this sort should be encouraged for
it will increase our resources, a thing
vitality needed at present.
Il further believe that we can get a
better class of homesteaders by max
ing the conditions different under
which they will secure the lands. For
one thing / would have longer term
necessary before title can be secured
by an individual"
