Market for Lead
Beginning to Soar

The American Smelling and Refn-
ing Company recently increased its
price for lead to $6.25 per hundred
weight. Little domestic lead can be
obtained at less than this price.
Stocks of domestic lead in hands
Of both producers and consumers are
small and decrease each month.
Lead consumption. both here and
abroad, has been rising steadily dur
ing recent months. Foreign stocks
are low. Germany needs lead badly.
Recently considerable Spanish output
has gone to Germany through France.
Now 1t is said the entire British gov
ernment stock, estimated at 10000
tons. has been turned over to Ger
many. This seems probable because
England needs zinc. Germany has
zinc and needs lead. AS the 1919
production is not expected to be more
than 80 per cent of the record 1916
output, and as consumption seems tC
be increasing faster than production
another rise in price Is expected
within the next few months.

Jazz Discovered
by Pure Accident

Jazz was a purely accidental dis
covery, the find Of cabaret man
while visiting New Orleans. This
man, who naturally prefers to re-
main anonymous, was walking
through the poorer quarter of the
city one evening when the sound of
curious music made him stop and
listen. From the inside Of shabby
little restaurant it came-strangely
discordant and yet rhythmical, SO
that he could scarcely keep his feet
still. He entered the place and
found the music, If such it could be
called, was being made by a band of
four darkies, known as Jazz's Four
Man band. One played baritone
horn, one a trombone, another cor
net and the fourth man operated an
instrument made out of the Chinese
berry tree, which the negroes in the
south make themselves.
The cabaret man realized that he
had found what he was hunting foI
something new. 1t was not long
before Jazz's Four-Man band was
playing in first-class New Orleans
cafe and from there it rapidly made
its way to Chicago. and thus made iti
way all over the world.
1t is sad to note, however, that
Jazz and its favorite offspring, littl,
shimmie, are doomed to soon die II
this arid country.

of the white metal, 1t has recently
been quoted and sold at $1.20% per
ounce in New York and is at present
around that figure.
Most optimistic views are enter
tanned by Senator Key Pittman of
Nevada. author of the Pittman sill
yer act, on the outlook for silver.
The senator was in New York recent
ly and in an interview said that there
was less uncertainty In the silver sit
uation than in practically any other
industry. Producers, In his opinion,
can look forward to a high price for
the metal for many years to come
Conditions brought about In the
currencies Of the world as a result of
the war, the senator said, have en-
gendered an enormous demand for
the metal for coinage purposes which
cannot be met from the worlds cur
rent production. The only reason
why the metal is not selling higher is
the measure of control which London
still exercises over the market. The
British capital normally purchases
90 per cent of the worlds output, and
against it are one thousand or SO ol
competing producers who are at the
mercy of single buyer. BY playing
them off one against the other the
London dealers, according to Senator
Pittman, have been able to keep the
price of the metal down. Before the
enactment of the Pittman act thu

Notes From the
Phoebe Schools

The Phoebe grammar school open
ed the fall term September s. and
all have settled down for a hard
years work. Seventy-two pupils
have been enrolled to date. It was
thought best that four teachers be
employed to handle the school af-
fairs. Miss Thomas, the principal,
has charge of the two upper grades.
She came to Phoebe from South Da-
kOta highly recommended in school
work and management. Miss Ste
phan has the fifth and sixth grade
room. She is graduate of the Uni
versity of California and for the last
two years has taught the Rose VAL
ley school. Miss Francis, who has
the third and fourth grade room, is
Lincoln county girl. Miss Pannier
has charge of the primary depart
ment. All are working together to
make the school the best possible in
the state, and with the help of the
school board everything is being done
for the best.
The names of all pupils whose
weekly attendance is perfect will be
published in the Record Reports OF
the childrens standing will be. made
at the end of each four-week period
These reports are for the benefit OF
the parents as we'll as the pupils, fol
in this way the parents may know
exactly what kind Of work their chill
dren are doing. The teachers expect
the cooperation Of the parents, fol
this is absolutely necessary in order
to raise the standard of the school
Any pupil who receives an A grading
in every subject will also have hi
or her name published.
J Friday, October 3, will be Clean
UP Day at the school. Children hav
been requested to bring rakes and
