Washington-One hundred million
pounds Of surplus copper have been
sold at prevailing market prices during

partment, told the house investigating
committee.
The United Metals Selling company,
created to dispose Of this surplus and
representing % per cent Of the copper
producers, was the purchaser.
Secretary Bakers Instructions last
winter, MIR. Morse said, were "that cop
per be withheld only to see II an agree

ducers, and IL not to sell In short
time as best he could
The contract, Morse admitted. might

said. went to consumers. according to
the shipping orders given the depart
ment.
Mr.. Morse said labor organizations
had urged that surplus metal be with
held from the market, as wages were
based on market price, and that the
selling company sought to have u
withheld for six months after the ar
mistice was signed, but in April con-
tracted to buy the surplus. The vol

TO. HARNESS ROARING
RIVER POWER

~ T.
/. r. E. Bruner of Kansas City, pro-
prietor of the Roaring River Spring
summer resort, who owns more than
five thousand acres of land surround
ing this wonderful spring said We'd
nesday of last week when leaving for
his home that he had about completed
plans for Harvesting the water power
of Roaring river and making it a.
vailable for commercial purposes.
During the past two years he has
had engineers from Kansas City, St.
Louis and Chicago at the big spring
looking over the proposition and max
ing estimates. Mr.. Bruner says that
engineers assure him of 325 horse
power He believes that while the adj
ditional power gained from storage
he can have 400 horse power available.
His plan is to build dam one-half
mile below the spring. The dam PLAN
ned is to be 140 feet wide at the base
and 40 feet wide at the top. AS the
current of the stream is very swift
Mr.. Bruner believes that at one-half
mile distance he can have sufficient
power to furnish electric power for all
of the homes Sn the south part of
Barry county.
The amount of water, the cheapest
power in the world, going to waste
in the Ozark country is enormous and
just within the last few years people
have been waking up to its practical
value.
Within the last two months survey
has been completed by Little Rock
and st. Louis syndicate for building
five million dollar dam across White
river at Cotter, Ark. This is an illus
tration what is going to soon be done
all over the Ozark country which has
so much of this power going to waste.

MoNErr LOSES TO Mt. VERNON

/. The Mount Vernon football team
defeated the Monet boys on the
Mount Vernon field Friday afternoon
by a score of 25 to 0. Mt, Vernon has
a heavy, fast team this year and Mo-
nett could not plunge through their
heavy line, and when they did, nat.
Vernon had d fast quarterback to over
take the man with the ball.
\. Mt. Vernon has Cherry, a college
man, playing quarterback for them
this season and he was easily the star
of the game.
The Monctt boys played q good
hard game against these odds and
they did not hate to lose the game as
much as they did the first game Of the
season because they played against a
real team yesterday and neither side
disputed the referees decisions,
The lineup of the Monett team:

PECK PROFITS FROM
ORCHARDS OF OTHERS
Sells Own Farm to Spray and Tend
Crops Of Peirce City Neighbors.

G.. d. Peck owned fruit farm east
of Peirce City and raised apples as
speciality. He studied spraying
methods and planning and cooper
ated with T. TalbeIt and, other
specialists of the University Of Mis-
souri College Of Agriculture in or
chard work. From them he learned
many things that he did not know be-
fore His orchard paid well, but there
was a big investment with a limited
return on the capital He wanted TO
spread out and make more money,
but land costs money and trees DO
not bear apples the day after they are
set out. A good orchard costs world
of money and it is long time start
ing to pay return, but when the re-
turns do come they certainly do come
fast.
Peck noticed a number of orchards
around Peirce City that We're more
or less neglected by their owners
many of them more neglected, 50
neglected, in fact, that they did not
pay and the proposition was born
right there. Peck would run their
orchards for them and divide the pro-
fits.
So for a while Mr.. Peck operated
his farm and orchard and worked in
other peoples orchards on the side.
Then so many other orchards seems
to want to get into his hands that he
finally sold his own and now devotes
all of his time to caring for the or
chards of other people.
\. He has spray outfit by a gasoline
engine that will spray two trees at
the same time. 1t is a powerful and
large equipment and it is possible to
spray 400 trees between breakfast
and dinner. So Mr.. Peck spends his
time lin the spring and summer in
spraying other peoples orchards He
keeps records of the expense and en-
tiers it on his books, In the fall If
the owner of the orchard wants to
gather the apples, he may do so and
charge the expense up to the joint
account. If the owner does not want
to gather the apples when Peck
thinks they ought to be gathered,
Peck gets into his wagon and rounds
up some help and the apples are
gathered and shipped when they
ought to be.
Pruning is not an item in the joint
expense. Mr. Peck will prune an or
chard, but that is an expense to the
owner. He has had much training
under experts from the various col
leges and knows his business. He is
modest and reluctant to admit it, but
the people Of Peirce City--and espec-
tally those who own orchards-are
anxious to get their apples into
Peck's care. He ships much fruit
himself ard sells some to local deal
ers.
The advantages OF the operations he
now carries on seem to be of mutual
benefit to both parties to the contract,
And Peck has not a fortune tied up
in orchards and all the equipment be
must own is the spray and its outfit
This is not small investment, but
does not compare even with q very
modest orchard Joplin Globe.
