WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

II you were wavering between two
men, both of whom professed to love
you and neither of whom you were
able to pick for your future husband,
what course would you pursue to make
up your mind as to your choice?
This was the problem that confront

daughter of New York cotton broker,
who has loved simultaneously by a
dreamy poet and dignifed broker.
Polly attempted the expedient OF hav-
ing her suitors race after her. she be-
ing given an hours start in an auto

claim her as his bride.

What About Copper?

NOW that peace is at hand what copper? That is
question which has become of vital interest since
Monday morning because the southwest produces large
part Of the worlds copper and the livelihood of thousands
Of people depends the industry The war demand for
copper enormous greater than the supply The re-
quirements of industries could be met only in
part.
Now the demand is suddenly cut off What fol-
lows?
The situation is little uncertain but ought not to
cause anxiety The governments fixed price ought to be
maintained until there is opportunity open up the do
nestle and export markets fully It is taken for granted
there viii be unheard of demand for copper in counec
ton with the work of reconstruction France and Bel
GUM and that the countries which have devastated
but which have been short of copper for ordinary
cal purposes since the early days of the war will
want It This viii good price for copper, but it
may take time TO line up the foreign market chiefly be-
cause the work of reconstruction cannot be begun in day
That IS the the stabilized price on copper ought TO
be maintained for the present.
1t IS claimed that the huge consumption of copper in
the period would have resulted in price so to rs per-
cent higher than the fixed price if the market per
mted free movement and that basis peace time de-
mand amounting to only SO 81 percent of the time
requirement would suffice to maintain price of 26
in the open market If this theory correct domestic con-
sumption and exports combined would need to total
only 10000 to 1,6oooooo0o pounds annually
der to uphold the present price In 19t3 exports alone of
copper in all forms amounted to 732e2612 pounds
There two extreme views of the situation that
crash viii and the other that copper tSsoaE
Between the two is third opinion, that the trend of
prices viii be gradual subject to the normal fluctuations

upon its progress. It boosted OF its
paved streets. its good sidewalks. its
up TO date fire department. the ro-

wonder OF its big stores.
The people liked these things and
took pride in them. They elected
a young man mayor. and everything
was going well until somebody dis
covered that taxes were too high and
conservatism was. wanted-they for
got that it took taxes TO have paved
streets that they could boast OF and
a fire department they had faith in.
When there came the talk OF con-
seryatlsm Somebody said: I'VE knew
a Conservative Man who has made a
lot OF money but has never spent anv

mayor and elected him.
he WAS conservative. Forthwith he
said there should be no more taxes

garbage from the streets. because the
city couldn't pay this expense and
