FUTURE OF COPPER MARKET.

The future of the copper market
rests squarely on the shoulders of
the producers, dealers and consumers
They form triumyirate, If either Of
over the advent of peace there is
likely to be a general weakening of
the situation that now exists. 1t
will require unity of action to carry
along the prosperity in copper. 1t
will require a clear conception as to
the effect of peace on the American
business conditions. Moreover, it
will require a maintaining of level
heads. Our prosperity has been shift
ed from war to peace basis. War
was thought to be an adverse factor
for business. 1t proved to be a ben
eficial factor There is no doubt
that peace will prove a beneficial
factor. 1t is but necessary to recall
the numerous predictions that domes
TIC consumption of copper would be
affected if the price ever passed 25
cents to prove that precedents can
not be followed. Domestic consump-
ton increased sharply when the
price rose to 35 cents. 1t is a case
VIII re the penultimate consumer de-
cided that two years of sparse buy
ing when prices were low compelled
heavy buying when prices were high.
Precedent has played no part in rul-
ing business conditions and therefore
ut is not out of the way to state that
precedent is not likely to play any
part in future business conditions

HEEREUL FACE.

Do not be grumpy in your own
home. Someifolks save all their smiles
for company or special occasions. 1t
is far mora necessary to happiness to
be cheerful.in your own home and with
your own family. If the home is
happy, one can bear rudeness met else
where. If the home is happy, the hap
piness will radiate among neighbors
and friends. One gives the sensible
advice: "Come down in the morn
ing as If you had just heard a pleas
ant piece Of news" Bring that cheer
fulness to the breakfast table. 1t will
improve your appetite and aid diges-.
the day, makes work easier and helps
endure the days vexations. If you
have worries, keep them to yourself
unless you must tell them. When you
must reveal your worries, choose the
right one to share your burden. There
is no need to tell troubles to the en-
tire household when few can be of
help, says Milwaukee Journal. Why
cloud the joys of others and be wet
blanket to enthusiasm? Most things
that are worried over are things that
never happened. Take notice Of wor-
ries and you will find this true If
you have problems, they are better
solved by facing them with calmness
and cheerfulness than in a gloomy
spirit. 1t is said that there is no fac
ulty so happy as the faculty of think
ing you are happy. The Scotch have
a saying: "a man is veal or VICE. as
he thinks himself SOL .-~r..--

Someone has said that Of all people
in the world tie Americans have the
worst manners in public. Whether
this is an exaggeration or not our bad
manners are amply in evidence in
most public places, especially where
there are crowds. 1t is astonishing
how even people of breeding who in
private intercourse are polite and con-
siderate, lose all regard for others
when the relations cease to be per-
sonal. In short with vast number Of
people, courtesy does not seem to
be natural thing, but something
merely imposed by custom, and they
lapse from it as soon as their relations
to their fellows cease to be direct and
personal, says Indiana Farmer. Even
in the use of the telephone this lapse
is noticeable, People whose voices
and manners are affable in face-to-face
conversation very often answer their
phone calls with curtness that would
be positively resented by anyone who
was directly addressed in such tone.

NAY. NOT MEAN "RoNE Dry


Arizona will not be bone dry
when the present stock of liquor
within the state is exhausted, nor Is
personal use'' a thing of the past
as was fondly imagined. 1t is pre-
dicted that within period OF six
months, liquor may be obtained as
readily as it was procured few
weeks ago.
Not only does the new prohibition
amendment adopted at the recent
election, fail in its object OF exclud-
ing liquor from the state but it is In
no sense of the word an improve
ment over the previous amendment,
according to prominent members OF
the state bar who made careful
study of the measure According to
the construction which the attorneys
place upon the law, intoxicants may
be bought, without subjecting the
purchaser to fine or imprisonment.
1t is the, contention of the lawyers
that the wording of the measure
makes it misdemeanor only to have
in ones possession liquor which the
owner has actually introduced or
caused to be introduced. The Webb
Kenyon act, under which interstate
commerce of this nature is subject to
restriction provides that liquor may
be shipped into dry territory where
the alcoholic beverage is to be receiv
ed, used or possessed in violation of
the laws of the state of its destina-
ton. Nothing in the new amendment
makes the use or possession of dnr
toxicants a crime, with the exception
of that which the possessor himself
might introduce. Therefore, under
the Webb-Kenyon act as construed
the supreme court of Arizona and the
supreme court of the United States,a
person may introduce liquor into Ari-
IONA providing it Dis for his or her
own private consumption.
That this fact was recognized some
time ago. is best shown by the action
Of foreign liquor interests, who, it is
rumored are contemplating test
case which is even now prepared for
submission to the state courts at the
earliest opportunity. The prelimin-
a.y hearings in the lower judicial
bodies will be conducted as expedi-
tlously as possible and the matter
carried directly to the supreme court.
In view of the precedents estab-
Iished by prior rulings of the highest
Judiciary, it is claimed that there is
little doubt as to the ultimate decis-
ion that will be rendered.
