~ ovERNoR TOWNSEND has issued call for a special
" session OF the Delaware Legislature
It VIII meet next Monday at noon.
The announced purposes for which IL is called are as
follows:
4. To consider ways and means whereby the state
Of Delaware better cooperate with tho National
Council OF Defense and effectively render assistance
to the National Government in the prosecution Of The
wer now existing. and further to provide for and nx
definitely the appropriations OF funds to meet the ex-
penses necessary incident thereto
- To consider and act upon Joint resolution, pro
posing an amendment TO the Constitution OF the United
States providing for national prohibition.
'S TO consider and effect into legislation such laws
whereby all citizens labor may be made available for
The production Of foods and materials so essential in
This emergency"
We think It Is understood generally that tho real
forces which brought about the calling OF the special
session those which favor an early ratification by
Delaware Of the proposed prohibition amendment to The
Federal Constitution Those forces know how the State
Senate and House stood local option They feel sure
that Notwithstanding the optimism OF leading ",vetr
men, they muster larger vote for the Federal
amendment than they mustered at the regular session
for the resubmisson bin affecting Wilmington and rural
New Castle county In addition the dry" feel that
because Of war conditions this is tho psychological time
TO put the Federal amendment over the top in our state
The fight between the wet and the dry" forces
promises 70 be an exceedingly bitter and uncompromis-
ing with The odds. at least the initial stages in
favor OF the dry" men.
The financial and labor questions to be taken up win
not arouse nearly much public Interest acrmony

The Poor Millionaire !
BY JEROME B. BELL

Deal gently with the millionaire;
Perhaps he does hts best.
Don't crush him With a stony stare,
or rude, unfeellng Jest.
Laugh not at pictures that display
His phiz with comic leer.
And when he gives his wealth away.
Don't take It with sneer.
What IL he does possess some bonds
A million. more "r lessi-
The work Of clipping OFF coupons
May cause him sore distress.
So. when the millionaire YOU meet,
Don't pass him by with scorn,
But grant a smiling nod. and greet
Him with a gay Good morn"
Think kindly OF the millionaire;
He has his share Of woe.
And though for him you may not care
Don't ever let him know
Give him a friendly word or two:
Twill do him lots Of good -
Just act as if you never knew
His means Of livelihood.
Don't ilbe and ieer he millionaire;
He has his faults. Of course.
And though his virtues may be rare.
Yet still, he might be worse
Oh, have a heart; his plight, so sad,
Is due 10 circumstance.
The millionaire is not so bad
When given half q chance.
Have pity on the millionaire;
II you did only know
The irksome burdens he must bear.
You'd not despise him So
You may be rich yourself some day,
Then you will feel the sting
Of cruel things the folks will say
Because your prospering
Don't be so proud The millionaire
sure has a right TO live
And feel the sun and breathe the air
And keep his coin. or give
The crime OF having cash TO spare
is awful 10 is true:
Yet. do not curse the millionaire.
He's human, just like you.

A CCORDING to the Geological Survey, production Of
"A copper in the United States during 1917 amounted
to s5lOOOoOoO as compared with si9O0OO0OO in 1913
1t probable that the total value OF copper produced
in America since the outbreak OF the in Europe is
some ss0OOOOO0O greater than the aggregate would have
been at the normal rate Of production and value.
Since increased price per pound represents the greater
part Of the increased value and there has not been
corresponding increase in cost Of production the total
increase represents very large augmentation Of net
profit to the copper producers OF America.
The copper producing regions will be very prosperous
for many years 20 come.
