DRY SEASON COMING BE CAREFUL!

You wouldn't flip cigaret or cigar stub into of powder, and yet many people do just as dangerous and foolish tricks
 Rubbish is allowed to accumulate in out of the way corners, in unoccupied rooms, in basements and against buildings. Oily waste accumlates in garages and around factory buildings, and camp fires are left burning along the roads and in the timber
 The dry season is coming on and careless ness such as this costs the people of this nation tens of millions of dollars annually.
 A cigaret stub or match carelessly thrown into a pile of rubbish or in the grass along the road may wipe out thousands of dollars worth of property or destroy hundreds of acres of grain, not to mention lives. Be careful.

AHEAD OF THE GUN

In the good old days the banker sat behind his mahogany rail and waited for business to come his way. He loaned money and that was all and generally he was the most unprogres- sive man in the community for he was out of touch with everything but money matters.
 Times have changed and the banker today, if he is making success, is usually about one jump ahead of the gun when it comes to being posted on conditions which spell prosperity for his territory.
 The progressive bank today develops business instead of just waiting for it to come.
 As and illustration the banks of Kalispell, Montana, recently created fund to be loaned to young farmers for the purchase of livestock, said funds to be loaned at per cent and repaid out of the increase from stock.
 In other words these banks are developing an industry which~in turn develops the com munity and incidently business for the banks.
 This is constructive work and the new idea of service in banking.

POOR BUSINESS TO WAIT

Harm products have greater purchasing power today than ever before in the countrys history.
 This may explain why rural districts of the country rapidly getting under way with building and construction work.
 It is obvious, since building and construc- ton work have such an important bearing at this time stimulating general business, the farmer may serve both his own and national interest by at once making needed improve ments on his property.
 Many farmers have been unable to get materials and labor for barns, silos, houses and other improvements during the war.
 The farmer, who at once avails of the labor supply and gets his improvement under way, in the long run, may prove to be the pru- dent business man, for there is reason to be- lieve that farmers who delay in the hope of materially reduced construction costs will have been deprived of the use of the improvements and in the end be forced to pay approximately the building prices now prevailing.

YOUR OWN BREAD AND BUTTER

If you live Tn the west you are directly interested in two industries, numbering and metal mining. You may not own stock in these industries or have any direct dealing with them, but as these two industries employ hun dreds of thousands of laborers, large part of your business and bread and butter comes from the money they distribute.
 The sudden ending of the war left both these industries in critical position. Their entire business had to be readjusted from war to peace basis
 This has now been largely accomplished, but to maintain operation during the past few trying months has in most instances been losing proposition.
 The great way to help maintain pros perity at this time is to proceed with construc- ton enterprises. Six months wait has proved that prices will not be materially lower for some years to come, while many actually advancing.
 and if begun now will make business for these great employing industries, which will enable them to maintain their payroll during this un- certain period, until world markets are again established and business is normal.
 Delay is only endangering your own bread and butter.

PRODUCE, PRODUCE, PRODUCE!

Government crop report shows prospec- tive winter wheat crop of S37 ,00O,0 900 bushels and spring wheat crop of 25O,00O,OOO bushels.
 At guaranty price of $226 bushel it means the distribution of $2,5OO,0OO,00 among the farmers for this crop alone.
 This enormous production in line means that the world will not go hungry for bread and that labor will be well paid in harvest.
 Applying the same principle to all lines of production, the result will be good employ. ment for all plenty of business and prosperity.
 The hosts of destructivism no matter by what name called are all allied against pro- duction and distribution through the wage system.
 They want to prevent production as they have done in Russia, where production has gone to minimum.
 The largest volume of production in all lines is the best safeguard against the increase of l. w. Wism. and Bolshevism.
 Let our slogan be PRODUCE"
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1919-05-23
INDUSTRIES ARE INTERNATIONAL

Americans must learn to think ot agrl- culture and industries in world terms and world figures.
 Industrial development and production of necessities of life such sugar, oil, lumber and metals are world problems
 Newspapers and politicians must decide whether they shall join the constructive world forces or destructivism
 For instance 50 per cent of the oil fields of Mexico are handled by American capital; 40 per cent by British, etc.
 Mexican oil production reached 5o,OOO,OOo barrels last year worth $90,0OO,OOO ln our country, largely handled by American capital
 New wells and pipe lines, tank lines and refneries, steamships and railroads are spring ing up and employing labor. {. The Mexican government IS collecting $6. .OOOO annual tax on oil industries alone and has special session of congress on oil
 Industrial development is going to be the great force to unite the two countries along constructive lines.
