SAYS LITTLE JIMMIE

Say, don't you think it's funny that
about this time O. year.
Our pas an mas get stingy of a sud
dint? Now, it's Dear,
Well hold up on the candy an the
oranges a spell;
Wouldn't ask for raisins an for nuts
WHILE" or well,
Now, Jimmie, I believe if | was you,
l wouldn't plague
For spinnin' tops and gagnins-s'pose
you wait a while; don't beg
For pitchure books, and buildin'
blocks an roller skates; you see
Perhaps'-an' then they smile an
look MYSTERIOUS as can be.
Now any other time O year they'd
maybe balk a bit,
Then give right in an when I begged
for candy-furnish it;
Or If leased 'em for a toy or game
they'd say, "Aw, we'll,
Here's half dollar; go an buy what
ever Jones'll SELL"
But, come to think of it. Perhaps
with with Christmas coming, I'd
Leave think they're savin' sometime
for O. Sanity to pervide!

The staple crop of China is said to
be sweet potatoes. There Is no sec
ton which does not raise them, and
they are a substantial part of the die'
of greater part of the Chinese peo-
nile.

Hardy Chinese PonIes.

The Chinese horse is really pony
somewhat after the type OF the west
ern broncho. II comes from Mongolia
and Is known as the Monaghan pony.
It is an exceedingly hardy animal,
thrives on food on which western
animal would starve is able to carry
heavy loads long distances, and Is very
useful in many ways. As racing an
imal it is characterized by speed and
stamina. China exports between 1000
and 1000 of these ponies each year.

THE FACTS ABOUT
BANK CURRENCY

Misleading statements have been
made recently that Banks are Unit
ed States mints" and have coined.
created, issued and put In circulation
over twenty billion dollars in currcn-
cy.
There is only one way for bank
to issue notes or circulation papee
and that is to deposit with the Unit
ed States treasury, government bonds
of certain early issues to the amouns
Il wishes In currency. In return the
government loans the banks 100 per
cent of the face value OF the bonds
less s per cent retained as a deposit,
to cover redemption OF currency, tax
ca. examiners fees and expenses OF
currency bureau. Thus In early days.
new money was put In circulation at
q time when Il was needed BY the
people as a medium OF exchange. On
October 81. 1918, there was outstand
ing only s722.07s.o2c of the origin :
al s1.s55.S20.177 issued from 1878
' to 1918.
Today banks care little about this
right of issuing their own currency
and the new federal reserve act pro,
vides for its ultimate discontinuapce.
Never in the history of the coun-
try were the banks working in such
close cooperation with their customs
ers, The modern bank Is progress

have departments in which experts
make II their business to study pro-
blCms of the farmer and industries
with whom they do business. 1t has
been due largely to the work OF the

banks that better stock clubs and bet
ter fruit clubs, etc, have bcen or
ganlzed in all parts of the country.

standing absolutely alone, his back
to the wall. In Paris. !
Our president today Is fighting
In Paris almost single handed" said
the Admiral. THAT 10 my Idea Of
what Ia happening on the other side
Just now. And make no mistake.
there Ia just one way to change the
atmosphere. y live on this side of
the ocean were to cable today to
President Wilson that this Victory
Liberty Loan had been subscribed
and over subscribed, his task would
be over tomorrow. He would win out
completely in the work with which
he is struggling now. 2
Some people here think the war
is over. tits certainly not over. II
Is not over Until Uncle Sam has
thrown his arms around the Atlantic
Ocean. 1t isn't over until that ster-
ling fighter, that great soldier, Cen
eral Pershing cables that it is over.
that II is safe for children to battle
in the Rhine, that arms have actual
ly been laid down"
The Admiral protested that it was
incongrous for a military man 70
stand on the steps of the Sub-Treas-
ury pleading for money from Wall
street magnates.
Think of military man" he said
standing on these famous steps, ex-
horting Wall street financial giants
to buy Victory notes. We men in
uniform know little of and have less
to do with finances. We are con-
cerned with the maintenance of law
and order. That's our mission in
life.
During the past few months
have taken to France representatives
of thirty-nine different states and ]
am today a prouder American for
having met them. Those boys did
their part like men and 1t was not
as easy task as investing in copper
lined United States bonds either. Fol
the life of me cannot understand
why there is any drive needed to sell
these bonds. There ought to be
line OF clamoring investors from here
to the bridge. There certainly should
be no need for Grafton and pleas"

uiph Cost of Mining Copper.

Little prospect for a lower cost OF
copper production is held out in re-
cent survey which shows a continuing
ascendancy in cost of everything going
into production of copper which al
ready has reached an increase of rs
to 500 per cent since 1914. With the
exception of cement, which has in
creased only slightly, everything
which enters into the industry has in
creased.
Fuel OIL of which nine cars daily
are used at Bisbie alone. has adj
vanced 80 per cent. Coal has in
creased 100 to 900 per cent. Coke has
gone up IS per cent. Dynamite and
powder are s. per cent higher than in
1914, though at one time during the
war the increased cost was 100 per
cent one of the large Bisbee com
panies uses $4,000 pounds of dyna-
mite a month.
Timber Is costing twice what IL did
in 1914, and 100000 to 5000, 600
feet is the monthly requirement. steel
is up 200 per cent Mining tools are
costing from 100 to 200 per cent more
and electrical machine is up 800 to
500 per cent. Freight rates have gone
up 25 per cent.
But copper is not selling in excess
of the prices of 1914.

London, Aug. Recommending on
the premier's recent speech the parlia-
mentary correspondent of the Daily
News writes: The speech, occupying
three hours, was one of the longest he
has made in the house Of commons.
] was also one of the most important;
it was certainly the dullest. Lloyd
George spoke in lack luSter man
ner, like a very tired man, but the
sp,ucn on the whoe was a rather
dreary performance.
1t began with a very somber re-
view of the circumstances in which
, the nation finds itself at the present
mOment-With colossal national
debt, enormous imports against rea-
tiveiy small exports and declining pro-
duction-the individual output lower
| than ever in every British industry eX-
cept agriculture"
Editorially the news says that I'M
questionably the speech disappointed
| hopes. "On Ireland the prime minis
! ter had nothing to say. on Russia,
nothing; on agriculture, nothing on
retrenchment nothing but an indefi-
mite promise to reduce ornaments,
pointed by a singularly inopportune
thrust at America, which has opened
proposals for naval reduction without
the semblance of a response from
Downing street. such a speech as that
al such Il iunCtufe as this is not mere
ly disappointing but gravely disquiet-
ing, The locked box remains locked
still; not merely is ii no opened, it is
put on the shelf for another two
months.
The house of commons is to dis
perse richer not in knowledge Of the
governments policy but in the
knowledge that on al but about two
of the most insistent problems of the
moment the government has no policy
at all. Rome may burn. but Nero has
got two months of respite. And in two
months anything may turn up"

A day or two after the Fourth of

rived and my personal fortune hung
in the balance, as / was still unat-

his majors had turned out to be In

Yes" replied General Seibert,
why not try Roosevelt"
Send him along and l will see
what he's good for" was Duncan's re-
ply.
| went that day, took command of
my battalion the day after and never
left the Twenty infantry, except
when wounded, until just before com
ing back to this country after the
war
Most of the Twenty-sixth infantry
was billeted in a town called De-
mangest, one of the largest in the
area. BY it flowed a good-sized
u
ficers and men alike. We started at
once cleaning up places for the COM
pany kitchens, getting the billets as
comfortable as possible and selecting
sites for drill grounds
The men, who up to this time had
been bewildered by the rapid changes,
now began to find themselves and
make up to the French inhabitants. l
have seen time and again a group
composed of two or three poilus ana
two or three doughboys wandering
down the street arm in arm, all talk
ing at once, neither nationally under
standing the other and all having a
splendid time. The Americans love
for children asserted itself and the
men made fast friends with such
youngsters as there were. 1t is sad
fact that there are very few child
rem in northern France. In the even
ings after their drill was over the
men would sit in groups with the
women and children, talking ana
laughing. Sometimes some particular
ly ambitious soldier would get

deavor to pick out, word by word,
various sentences. Others, feeling
that the French haS better learn our
language rather ltldll we ISdi II tllCii D.

About this time that national insti-
tuition of France, win ordinaire," was
introduced to our men. The two types,
win blanc" white wine, and win
rouge" red wine. were Immediately
christened win blink and vim
rough" The fact that this wine could
be bought for very small amount
caused much interest. Champagne
also came well within the reach of
every ones purse. To most of the
men champagne, up to this time, had
been something they read about, and
was connected in their minds with
Broadway and plutocracy. 1t repre-
scented to them untold wealth COM
pletely surrounded by stage beauties.
Here, all of a sudden, they found
champagne something which could be
bought by the poorest buck private.
This in some cases, had temporari-
" disastrous tffect, for under circum
