We notice where an old fddTers'
contest was held day or so ago in
Hopkins county. They offered a prize
for the best fiddler in the most diff
ferent positions, the best fiddler with
the greatest number of instruments

see why in the dickens NJ. Bean

That watermelon Lutte Easterdy
left in the Office the other day, that
had grown within a glass, eX-whis-

stored to the jug in order to pre-

fee, so | heard the boss tell Lutte.
He further said he thought the melon
would be perfectly safe that way,
since Charlie King was not here any
more.
Speaking of Mr.. Easterdy's melon
in the jug, we overheard the boss AK
Lutte how he guessed the said melon
found it's way into the jug and Lutte
says he reckoned some of his neigh
bOrs hid the jug in the weeds in his
melon patch, not knowing it was
there, and the little melon seeking
moisture one evening, as some men
do, just went into the jug, got tight
and the result was it couldn't set

The Price of Copper

1t was reported on the news tickers
April 20 that the United States gov
eminent would require a very large
quantity Of copper, in addition to the
purchase of the 100000 pounds that
was made recently, and that the price
would be about 10 cents pound higher
than what the producers named on the
previous, relatively small, transaction.
We believe it is true that the govern
ment is negotiating for very large
quantity of copper for the army and
navy, but we do not believe hat nego-
tiations have reached the stage where
anybody knows what will be the price.
1t is reasonable to support, however,
that the price may be around the pres
ent level, at 25is TO &c cents. The ideas
that have prevailed in many quarters
that the naming OF Is 2-3 cents by the
producers would constitute a precedent
and would establish the future market
price for copper, both to the United
States government and 70 the Allies.
MtAt lOO lOOllcH W any COt-
sideration except in a passing period
of pessimism. As VIC said at the time,
the 10 % cents transaction was in the
nature of gift by the producers, an
exhibition Of patriotism. and was dis
tinctly understood by both parties 10
be so. nothing more. As for subse-
quent transactions il would m1nifestly
be impossible to have two prices "a
=
price. So long as economic conditions
prevail-.and they do prevail in war
time as in others-there can be but
one price. and that is the price that
is determined naturally by demand and
supply. Any interference with the
natural law can be but temporary and
is bound TO introduce germs of disease
to plague US later.-Engineering and
