company at Douglas, ARR, have broken records for
years production Of copper metal by treating 271O0O

Copper Queen smelter produced 100000 pounds.
This IS much the combined total of the Copper

Put Men In The Mines

If there is a shortage of coal miners In the New
Mexico and Colorado fields and if that IS IS claimed
the for the coal shortage throughout the south
vest pressure should be brought upon the coal com
panes TO hire produce sufficient coal II they
pay higher wages than they feel IS right, they
should pay those wages long time as IS necessary
get out coal enough to meet the demand Prices OF
coal certainly sufficiently high to the consumer TO
Justify high wages to coal miners.
1t is alleged that for shortage OF labor
in the coal fields is that the copper industry
paying such high wages that coal miners have turned
copper miners and that the recruiting of the labor forces

numbers has resulted in corresponding dm1nutonS IN

step If need BE- let them be raised again. Also the
companies should make every effort, through employ

From reports every town in the southwest IS needing
coal and IN many the need is acute. The rall-
claim be offering every facility for the trans

VARDAMAN AND HIS "BODY OF DEATH
DRIFTING APART.

Governor Bilbo says there is only one man in
Mississippi who is not behind the President at
this time. He is Vardaman, and Bilbo says he's
on his way to Washington to tell the President
so. Bilbo is grooming himself to run against
Senator Vardaman. Formerly they were friends.
They drew their support from the same faction,
but in late years these two heroes have drifted
apart, It would be a good idea for Mississippi
to repudiate the record Of Mr. .Vardaman, but it
wouldn't help matters any to elect Bilbo in his
stead.-Montgomery Advertiser,
The esteemed Alabama contemporary has sure
located Biibo-to say the least he deserves i'm
parchment as much as Vardaman does retirement.
In the famous 1911 campaign Senator Vardaman
was warned that he would live ITO pray to be
delivered from his body Of DEATH" But the putrid
Bibo to whom he chained himself seems to be
anticipating the act Of delivery" The abandon
ment by "rats'' of the ship on which they rode into
the port of victory so triumphantly four years
ago, is sure proof that it is sinking. -Vicksburg

AN UNSCRIPTURAL DOCTRINE.

War is at our door, and this fact impels us to
remark that those extremely pious ~paciists who
look with such horror upon it, and who regard
the word Soldier as synonymous with Satan,
should read their Bible little more understand
ingly.
Nowhere within its covers is the Christian
compared to the mollycoddle or the milksop, but
always to the brave and trained soldier. In fact,
from beginning to end Of the Scriptures the
efficient servant of the Most High is not only lik-
ened to a soldier, but is declared to BE a soldier
of the Lord.
: Even Moses, the type and pattern of meekness,
trained and disciplined an army that later, under
command of his lieutenant, Joshua, conquered a
great people and won a home for a nation.
The peace-at-any-price and swat-the-other-
cheek paciRst will have to rewrite the Scriptures
before he can reconcile his policies with the plain
word Of God Almighty Himself.

BE CAREFUL WITH YOURSELF.

Men and women should realize that their first
duty is the perfection of themselves, and they
should carefully study themselves with the hope
Of correcting whatever faults they have.
Ordinarily, you say you know what is your
fault. OF course, you can see the big errors of
your life, you can understand the sins that faunt
your conscience, but do you know the calling little
things you do, the almost insignificant near
wrongs which hurt those who care for you.
Success in business is to be desired, and the
approval of society is to be coveted but no char
acter can be judged by a bank-roll or the voice
of the people. The public does not know your
faults, your coin does not tell the story of its ac-
QUESTION but inside your own family circle, if lips
now stilled by regard for you were opened to the
world what would the verdict of mankind be?
The careless, Indifferent, unthinking man
leaves heartburns %aplenty, although he is
generally happy in having his own way,
Love may give up the pleasures of life, surrender
the Joys of existence and yield all to the demand
of another, but in the heart of the loved one there
Is recorded a verdict.
Whenever we see a Successful man, a wonder
full woman" or a person whom the world ad-
mires, we wonder what the truth would show if
wells were drawn aside and the gaze of humanity
could peer upon the naked soul.
That is impossible, but we should all so strive
to live that when, in the end the truth is out,
the judgment formed by those to whom we have
been incest will be the same as that of those to
whom we owe the most.

FIRES CAUSED BY CARELESSNESS.

The fire loss in the United States is about
S250,00 a day, or an aggregate of $75O,OOO,O 600 a
a year. Careful observation from detailed statis-
tics compiled on the subject shows that most Of
this loss would be prevented by the observation Of
reasonable precautions, particularly in the direc-
ton of more tidiness.
The Lumber Trade Journal estimates that
sixty=fye per cent. of all fires take place in homes,
and cases show that 80 per cent. of all fires are
due to carelessness, ignorance, or both. The IS
per cent. occurring in homes, it is readily shown,
would never occur if persons had taken reasonable
care in respect to untidiness.
Rubbish is the chief cause, and rubbish does
not necessarily mean the accumulation of paper
and things Of that character in and around build
ings, but the unnecessary accumulation of old
furniture, magazines, carpets, supplies OF all
kinds in cellars and attics, which accumulate dust
and lie there for years.
What applies to the home in respect to rub
bish is true to a marked degree in many
business premises. Just a little thought
and the expenditure of a little time along these
lines generally would greatly reduce the fire loss.
The absence of fire extinguishers in the average
home or business premises is a serious omission
Careless handling of matches, careless use Of
oil, failure to keep lamps and lanterns clean, the
accumulation Of oil rags and waste material, and
a host of small matters like these, are the causes
Of a great many fires and a great deal Of loss.
