Boy Critically Injured.

Lennox.-George Iben, aged II, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. John Iben, of the
Lennox territory, was perhaps fatally
hurt as the result of a peculiar acci.
dent. His condition is critical. The
boy was driving a team of horses
when n OF the tugs became unfast.
ened. He had fixed the tug and was
attempting to get back into the wagon
when his foot slipped and he became
fastened in the wheel in such a man
lei that he could not release himself.
The horses started to run. with the
result that of the boys legs IA
fractured to such an extent that about
six inches of the thigh bone protrud-
ed through the muscles and all the
liga ments were torn loose. When an
older brother went to his rescue and
the team he found it neces-
sary to remove the wheel from the
wagon before he could release his IN
fortunate brother.

Women Battle with Hose.

Galesburg.-An apple tree is the in
nocent cause of a neighborhood row
in Galesburg. between two families
living IN adjoining lots. There is an
apple tree nea the line and the
branches hang owe each lot. This
dispute is over who owns the next lot.
Both parties claim the fruit. There
were a considerable number OF these
apples On the ground on the lot next
to where the tree is growing. The
lady who lives on this lot had placed
the apples III a pile and was STOPPING
over in the act of placing them in her
apron when her labor was interrupt
ed by a stream of water from a hose
in the hands of the lady who claims
the fru: as the tree is on her lot. The
water was too strong an argument
and the lady who was gathering the
apples was forced to surrender the
fort and seek the setter of her kitch-
en-. The wielder of the hose was
satisfied with the success of her at
lacks and returned to her home and
was quietly cogitating over the sue
ess of her attack when to her sur
prise she was attacked from the rear
by a stream of water through the win
dow, the woman next door being the
attacking party. A hasty exit to an
other room was made and both par
ties are now threatening to invoke the
law, but the argument as to who owns
the apples remains unsettled.

COPPER PRICE
 ACCOMPANIMENT STILL IN AIR
Copper Producers Feel That the Government Is Not Of- fering a Great Enough Price for Huge Order.

BOSTON, July 21.-Complications have arisen in connection with the 60-million pound sale of copper to the government at 25 cents per pound which the copper producers had reason to believe had been accepted by au- thorities in the war department com petent to close the negotiations.
 In any event the all-important mat ter of price has not been adjusted, all though it was thought it had been. It is understood that John D. Ryan, who has charge of the negotiations on behalf of the copper producers. is n Washington in conference with the war department in an effort to reach d settlement with the government as to price.
 It is more than probable that the secretary of war is trying to drive a trade with the copper producers at considerably less than the 25-cent price at least tentatively agreed on several days ago. especially in view of the fact that on it's previous order for 45, 100000 pounds the producers nam ed a figure of 16 2-3 cents-the aver age selling price of the past ten years.
 We understand that it was specific ally stated by the producers at the time this 16 23 cent price was agreed to that the price must not serve as a precedent to govern later transactions that until the cotton producers of the south and the wheat producers of the west showed disposition to furn ish the products of the plantation and the farm at figure relatively as close to cost as was the 16 2-3 cent price for copper, the copper miner must moi be singled out as the victim of unfair governmental discriminations.
 Unlike the self-reproducing qualities of cotton and wheat, copper once talk en from the ground can never be re placed. and this phase of the situation must be borne in mind the price fixing controversy.
 President Wilson goes a step further
Bisbee daily review., 1917-07-22

and in an appeal to business men he argues that any price offered to the government should also be made to the public. He says:
 The publis is now as much a part of the government as are the army and navy themselves; the whole peo- pie in all their activities are now mob- iliZed and in service for the accom- plishment of the nations task in this wark; it is in such circumstances i'm possibly justly to distinguish be- tween industrial purchases made by the government and industrial pur- chases made by the managers of indi- Yidual industries; and it is just as much our duty to sustain the indus tries of the country, all the industries that contribute to its life, as it is to sustain our forces in the field and on the sea. We must make the prices to the public the same as the prices to the government.
 This throws a new element of con-
  The copper producers have evidenced willingness in the present crisis to make special price to the govern- ment for war purposes, but have con tended that the natural operation of the law of supply and demand should govern the price to the public.
 But President Wilson also says:
 "A just price must. of course, be paid for everything the government buys. By just price I mean a price which will sustain the industries con oerned in a high state of efficiency, provide a living for those who conduct them. enable them to pay good wages, and make possible the expansion of their enterprises. which will from time to time become necessary as the stupendous undertakings of this great war develop.
 We could not wisely or reasonably do less than pay such prices. They are necessary for the maintenance and development of industry, and the maintenance and development of in dustry are necessary for the great task we have in hand"
 This is just the argument of the copper producers. It so happens that ! at the present time the wages paid tC , copper miners are based on a sliding scale whereby the higher the price oi copper the higher the wage to the op eratives. Notwithstanding wages oi ! S5.50 per day are paid to Arizona min CTS for seven hours actual work. the copper producing industry of that state is paralyzed because of the de mands of the l. w. w agitators fol | SC a day pay for six hours work.
 What would happen should there b, | an attempt to reduce wages in line with reduced copper prices in tho present labor crisis it is difficult t' conceive.
