WILL MILL LOW GRADE COPPERs

The big mining companies of Bisbee have at last decided that the low grade coppers Overyng the rich ore bodies of the Warren district have potential values that will make that district of the most wonderful copper sections of the globe. The work of clearing off the overburden and getting ocular sizing up of the bearing possibilities of the camp is under way and the big milGf will soon be reality. The tonnage to be through the mills will be above 10000 daily and will give the smeIters a most desirable product to mix with the of the mines.

:: A FEW LAUGHS $ ::
IN THE ABSENCE OF CLERGY

Some time ago dinner was given in New YorI at which a well known actor, who is something of a free thinker along theological lines, sat at the guest table. When the hour for starting the feast arrived the toast master, very religious man, discov- cred that no minister of the Gospel was present, though several had been invited. In this emergency he turned to the actor and asked him to say grace.
 The actor rose, bowed his head, and in the midst of a deep hush said fer vently:
 "There being no clergyman present, let us thank God!"

SHOULD THE STATE OPERATE
 INDUSTRIALS?

The farmers of North Dakota demand that the state take over and operate everything Operatabe by the state, that is everything except that which the farmers themselves have death grip On They simply say to the people, i've want to direct how to do your business, but business is in good hands and we have need of other people directing us." It is the same old story of the greedy dog. In trying to get the other dogs bone he loses the one he already has, and believe that the farmer is just much in need of government or people con- trol, as tho other fellow. You will note that the farmer has allowed his wheat cOrn potatoes apples and other produce to rot in the fields before he would take fair price for it. Do such farmers, and there are many of them, deserve consideration from the great body of consumers? We do not believe he does nor do we believe he is the to be eOnsdred when it comes to government control. Farmers have been considered the salt of the earth but it will be noticed that where the earth is too salty nothing lures. We believe that every form of individual deavOr should be given support and that the other fellow should have more in your business than you should in his. The farmer is assuming too much and in consequence he will have himself under the regulation of the food board just the same as the other purveyOrs of fOOdstuffs and materials.

THE THEME 100 PER CENT

As the great struggle for liberty grows greater each day, we can but feel that must insist that the thought of today should be AAIERICANISM.
 We believe that no one should hire any one that is not 100 per cent American, and further, this is the year for the selection of new men to the many offices both county, state and federal insist that only men who have been tried and found not want ing in the scales of true 100 per cent Amercanism, should be selected to represent the people at this cru ciaI time.
 After the broad mantle of full and true LIBERTY has been thrown about all who have entered country in search of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness and all have enjoyed of it's fruits and later many of these same persons have ruthessly attempt ed to aid in the destruction of the same things for which they came, there be penalty too drastic, in ones mind, for the punishment of such people? We think not.
 Would it be too drastic if the government of the United States should take all of the persons con- cerned in the "spy work in and about the many fac tories turning out munitions for soldiers, out and stand them before a brick wall and put one of our perfectly good bullets through each and every one of them? We further think not.
 The time has now arrived when all monkey busi- ness of all kinds that will hinder endanger the lives of our men in the work should be stopped even if some of the liberties of of the hOwlers have to be imposed on.
 We say that spy is a spy wherever you catch him and there is just treatment for them, that is a good treatment, and that is to shoot him.
 The sooner this is pursued the sooner there will be no spies to work
