COPPER OUTPUT EXCEEDS

The production OF copper In the
United States In 1916 surpassed all
previous records. according to the
United States Geological survey. de-
partment of the interior. Preliml-
nary figures and estimates have been
collected by B. s. Butler, who has
received reports from all plants
known to produce blister copper
from domestic ores and refined cop
per. At an average price OF about
I 81 cents a pound the output for
1915 has a value OF $500 900. 900.

output OF 1915, and with slss,79O.-

THE SUBMARINE BLOCKADE

The measure of success Germany's

that only the future can decide. Dur

fact The means of fighting these UNI
dersea pirates have been materially

err therein is to be found the secret
of diminishing losses.
Just what the Germans are able to
do in the way of carrying on their
submarine warfare. not taking into
consideration the possibility that the
allies will find the way to check them
effectually, is the Subject OF an ar
ticle which appeared recently in the
Scientific American.
While admitting the question can
not be answered with certainty, the

Communication

Mr.. Editorials we have not got
and the newspaper is a sort OF COM
munity belonging, l dare say that we
are privileged to come to you with
all our problems and of course. take
it for granted that you, as editor and
proprietor of our only newspaper, are
quite capable of solving them. l
would like to fully understand this
"do your bit" question. Our country
is calling on us all to do our bit"
and we really have been trying our
best to do it but, here are some of
the difficulties that confront us. Plow-
ing was $3.50 per hour last year
is $500 per hour this year. We paid
sc per pound for seed potatoes last
year, this year we paid SC per pound,
lumber for fencing costs more, but
the Transfers wages is ::le same as it
was last ye&r. that is one problem
and here is another one. the same
goods that cost 12k cents per yard
last year. costs 20 cents now, spool
of thread that was 10 cents is now
Is cents and so it is with everything
else in proportion or even more SO
in some things, no matter what you
go to buy, from paper of needles
to an automobile, the ever present
cry is "its gone up" which no doubt
sounds good, to the seller, the idea
so far is very cheering and en-
couraging to both seller and employ
er to do their bit" but what does the
consumer who happens to be an en-
ploye get out of it, just the know
ledge that he is doing Ibis bit" is
very unsatisfactory when his labor.
the only thing that he has to sell,
has not gone up" and would, l am
afraid make a poor substitute for
some of the necessities of life that
have " gone up" out of all proper
ton to his wage Who is the work
ingman doing his bit for, the specu-
lator or the country, this is what l
would like to have explained. l am

with the eternal question why"

AMERICA NOT AWAKE

Henry Clews, in his weekly finan-
cial letter, asserts that a very small
proportion of the people of this coun-
try realize what being at war actually
means. for the reason that America
is not yet thoroughly awake to the
Importance or the consequences to
ourselves of the struggle which we
have lately entered.
Very few" he says, seem to re-
aliZe that the preservation of civiliza-
ton and freedom the world over is
at stake. AS nation we feel quite
comfortable in our trusted immunity
from attack Probably if portion of

the wall of steel in the North Sea and

should then stand up and take notice.
But thus far we have become accus-
toned to the unseen protection of the
British fleet. and our sons are not yet

LAS a people we certainly devout-
ly wish to avoid these painful real
tiles. and up to date our shocks from
submarine warfare. Yet genuine re-
alization of the perils now facing us
seems confined to the government, to
those engaged in our defense and to
relatively few of our leading bust
ness men,"
Mr.. Clew says that for nearly three
years Great Britain has been bearing
the brunt of this battle for freedom"
although her population is less than
half of ours. She has raised an army

the size of the U-53 which came to
Newport last year. 1t is estimated
that by concentrating her full re-
sources to the task Germany can build
submarine in an average of six
months.
Thus it is concluded that the kaiser
could have available by next spring
1900 submersibles and it is pointed
out that these could be readily man
ned by crews of the idle battleships
in the German yards without impair
ing the efficiency of other branches
of the navy for the reason that only
a few sailors are needed to operate
submarine.
The Scientific American still thinks
the danger point is in the submarine
and declares that our best efforts
should be-as they are being-con-
centrated on the task of breaking up
the blockade.
