Ard There YOU Are

Well, Helen, you've stated your
case very well. And the converse
of the proposition is true. Ralph
isn't going to be lured from his sp-
probation OF all the things that
count by a desire to look at a beau
tiful picture or of talk to a charm
ing stranger. Mildred Hanson isn't
any more likely to lure Ralph away
than John Farraday was to steal
you! Beauty Isn't enough. Nobody
ever wanted to make a meal Of
desert. you know, or to spend q
whole day gazing at a pine tree re-
hected in a mountain pool"
We'll. maybe you're right But
know Ralph would want TO firt

And then what will you do. Mil
dred? Will you sulq jealousIy or
assume a manner Of naughty eighty
or cattishly retaliate by finding
somebody else to flirt with. or will
you good-naturedly remember that
you nirted a little with John Far
raday?"
81 didn't I wouldn't"
All right, Helen; but men do and
will, and it doesn't mean = thing.
And the woman whose sense OF
values is so slight that she imagines
bread and meat and drink. and the
real necessities of life cease mean
ing anything to a man the moment
he discovers a sunrise or a moonlit
lake had better drive that man
away from her in one quick burst
OF temper rather than keep him
around to torture by means of her

Then you wouldn't be afraid OF
Mildred?"
Afraid OF her? Helen dear, the
woman who has brains and tact and
common sense. and a little charm
and sweetness and coquetry mixed
in can take a man away from a ten
thousand dollar a week moving

only her beauty wherewith to move
audiences and men. Do you know.
Helen, I've always had an idea that
II Helen of Troy and Cleopatra had
combined little common sense with
their good looks, they might have
had rather a nice time out OF life"
You haven't much respect for
beauty"
"oh, yes; it's a fine letter OF in
PRODUCTION and it's rather pleasing
to the eye, but the eye is only one
Of our fve senses. and back OF them
all is q brain. With beauty as his

GROWTH IN COPPER OUTPUT
smeIter Production in 1916 Shows In
crease of 80 per cent and Value is
Nearly Doubled.

The smelter production of primary
copper in the United States in 1916
was 1,92S,OOO,OO0 pounds, compared
with 1,3SS,OOO,O00 pounds in 1915, an
increase of 30 per cent. The total
value of the output in 1916 at an aver
age price of 24.6 cents pound is
S4T4,2SS, 600 compared with $242,9OO,-
900 for 1915, reports Uncle Sans ge-
illogical survey.
The total production of new refined
copper in 1916 was 2,259,OU1,OOO
pounds, an increase of 625,0OO,eO0
pounds from the output in 1915. -
The apparent consumption of refined
new copper in the United States in
1916 was 1929, ,755, ,266 pounds. In
1915 it was 1,043, ,461 ,9S2 pounds. If
to the 1,429, 755, ,266 pounds of new re-
fined copper is added the 594, ,423,SO7
pounds of secondary copper and cop
per in alloys produced during the
year, it is found that a total of about
2,O24,O00,000 pounds of new and old
copper was available for domestic COM
sumption.

SOLVESFARM PROBLEM PROFIT FROM CATTLE
Live Stock More Value on Farm
Than Figures Indicate.
Uncle Sans Investigators Find That
Besides Direct Income Other Fac
tors Must Be Considered.

That cattle In most cases add to
the farm income in the corn belt Is in
dicated by the results of a recent in
vestigation conducted by experts of
Uncle Sans department of agricul-
ture, as part of comprehensive study
of the meat situation, in which its
specialists have been engaged for
some time. The results have shown
that the direct profit from the raising
of calves, the average seems to estab-
lish, is usually small, but the inves-
tigators point out that there are other
factors which make the practice more
first sight.
Among these advantages, it is point
ed out, are the fact that live stock on
the farm produces home market and
means of utilization of farm roughage,
some of which might be wasted if not
fed, and the use of pastures which
could not be employed profitably in
any other way. Live stock also af-
fords a ready home market for certain
other crops, which at times would
have to be hauled considerable dis
tanceS to be sold. Finally, the eX-
perts say, the presence of live stock
on the farms gives productive employ
ment throughout the year to labor
which at certain seasons might other
wise be idle. Live stock also gives
some interest on capital invested on
equipment, which would produce
nothing If not utilized at all seasons.
The fertilizing value of manure also
must be considered, the officials say.
When these factors are taken into
consideration, even though there ap-
pears to be little or no profit as shown
by cost figures, it is believed that in
most instances the farm income is
greater because of cattle having been
kept on the farm. The keeping of live
stock, therefore, say the investigators,
is to be recommended on farms hav-
ing large quantities of cheap roughage
available or having land which can be
best utilized as pasture.

THREE BIG COTTON STATES
duced Nearly Three-Fifths of the
Total of the Crop of 1916.

Although cotton is grown in is
states, the combined product of three
Texas, Georgia and Arkansas, the
only states which produced more than
million bales in represented
nearly three-fifths of the total crop of
that year, according to Uncle Sans
figures. Texas alone reported 3,725,-
700 bales, or nearly one-third of the
total crop; Georgia'S output was l.
S20939 bales, or somewhat less than
one-sixth of the total; and that of
Arkansas was 1,134033 bales, or near
ly one-tenth of the total.
Six counties reported the ginning
of more than 100000 bales each from
the growth of 1916. Williamson coun-
ty, Texas, with 124732 bales, was in
the lead, closely followed by Ellis
county, in the same state, with 124,-
349 bales.
The crop of 1916-11, ,449, $50 equiv
alent 500-pound bales-showed
slight increase as compared with the
preceding year, but with that excep-
ton was the smallest since 1909. The
crop of 1916 exceeded that of 1915 by
about 25S,000 bales, but fell below that
of 1914-the largest ever grown-by
1855, 900 bales, or 20 per cent.
Despite the marked falling off in the
crops of the last two years as COM
pared with that of 1914, the output of
linters continues to show pronounced
increase. The high prices obtained in
recent years for this fiber, which is
used extensively in the manufacture
of guncotton and smokeless powder,
have so stimulated the production of
linters that the yield per ton of seed
treated is now considerably more than
double that of a few years ago.
