IDAHO IS STILL SHORT
ON WAR SAVING STAMPS
INTENSIVE CAMPAIGN IS TO BE
MADE DURING FIRST WEEK
IN DECEMBER.

The Idaho War Savings committee,
with headquarters at Boise. has des-
ignated the week beginning December
l as Honor Week." and during that
period campaign will be made for
the sale of war savings stamps which
1t is hoped will bring the sales up to
the full quota apportioned to the
state 1T is now or never" says the
committee in a circular announcing
the campaign, and continuing the
committee says:
Why Idaho Is Short.
There are many reasons for the
present situation. The first is the
war savings idea was a new one, and
took slowly as it did not fit so well
upon Idaho's type of population as
upon industrial centers; and still
more important the fact that the cam
paign was to last throughout the en-
tire year resulted in a great majority
of the counties and individuals in
them figuring that they could later dc
their part in war savings. Some time
later, there interviewed the big Liberty
loan drives: then the combined war
work drive, etc.
Makes Pressing Appeal.
"A letter has gone out from the
State Council of Defense to the chair
man of each county council, outlining
the war savings situation, informing
him of the absolute necessity of Idaho
finishing this job and calling upon
him and his county council to do the
detailed work under the supervision
of the county director of war savings.
Special arrangements were made
by telegraph with the national head
or the Four Minute Mems organiza-
ton to turn loose all of the Four Min
ute Men in Idaho on the topic of the
war savings situation and the import
ance of honor week.
Messages, through proper chan
nels, have gone out to all labor unions.
school superintendent, merchants,
etc, explaining to them the situation
and calling upon them as loyal citi-
zens of Idaho to help finish the work"

Getting Together, Meaning Employer
and Employe.

Engineering and Mining Journal.
1t is a pleasure to record that fewer
strikes are now TO be noted In mining
districts. Strikes still occur, but they
are not in mining What does this lull
mean? Is 1t patriotism on the part
of labor or of the arrangements; or
both? Or is it just simply getting to-
gether? We hope that it Is due more
or less to all three causes.
Under the strenuous calls for pro-
duction that the country has had to
meet it is a pleasant duty to set down
the fact that many Iaborer Is getting

quitting with his hammer in the air;
that he is taking "A bottle of coffee for
lunch instead of going around the cor

his sandwiches; and it is just as pleas
ant to note that some of our gold
mine arrangements are straining every
nerve to keep the plant in operation,
for the benefit of their regular en-
ployees and their families, in spite
of the ore being taken out at small
profit or at no profit at all. Both are
showing desire to get together Per-
haps 1t is for patriotic reasons, per-
haps it is just because it is right to
do so; but, whatever the cause, the
result is of deep significance, and its
effect will remain with us. And there
will probably come a day. if it is not
with us already, when patience and
liberation from both sides will be re-
quired as they have not been required
before--when 1t will be harder and yet
more necessary to get together than
Il is today. The man who has been

The reason for increased tonnage is
plain, considering the necessity of

COPPER.
French Government Reported Placing
Bio Order.


"A recent report from the east says
that an inquiry has been received
from the French government asking
for 100000 tons of copper. The offer
carried with it promise to pay 2s
cents a pound for certain portions of
the order for quick delivery The
balance of the order was reported as
being filled at 26 cents per pound, as
under the agreement between the
board and the copper producers of the
country no greater price than that
can be accepted.
Germany is completely depleted of
her copper metals and has no copper
mines Of importance that can be put
into production. Her industrial de-
nland will be large, not only for re-
Mobilization, but for her manufactur-
ing industries besides If they are to
again enter into the channels of bus
mess. Belgium will in time require
a large quantity when her manufact-
uring industries are again restored
The amount of the order reported
as placed by the French government
will exceed the entire Butte produc-
ton for one year by more than 50,-
900 tons and If the general consump-
ton is augmented by the eventual adj
mittance of Germany into the trade
channels again the present output of
the country should be absorbed for |
several years to come. J

dividends of three cents per share
monthly, $7S,150 each. At the time,
only 10 months ore supply was re-
ported on hand. Fortunately, high
silver and lead prices have made COM
mercial ore out Of what was uncom-
mercial ore before, In recent months
the decline In ore grade has been such
that even with dollar silver and s cent
lead, profits have been barely one cent
share per month. The huge sur
plus has permitted dividends of three
cents a share monthly to continue.
The company announces that begin
ming January, 1919, the dividend will
be cut to one cent a share per month.
How long the one cent dividend can
continue is predetermined Production
