CARRY INSIGNIA OF HONOR
War Departments Has Decides That

appear Unexpectedly over cities far

comes flying by or lands near us. we
will soon look for the insignia. Just

good time to learn that conditions
nave changed wonderfully since father
ana grandfather were voters. and po-
htieai parties and politicians have
changed with them Today men place
less stress upon party than ever be-
fore. and today they put more trust in
men than they do doctrines.
This Is the year when every man
ought TO figure out for himself which
candidate he believes will do the mos.

Forget all about what folks did In
this country hundred years ago.
Study the records of the candidates
and this time vote for the man. The

Our advice to every family in Phoebe
and vicinity is. look to the morrow.
The railroads of this country have been
given permission to increase freight
and passenger rates to a point where IL
will mean thousands upon thousands
of dollars over present revenues, and
this increase must come. and will come,
from the pockets of the consumers. In
fact, If 1t were proportioned equally
the increase would mean about $3.50 a
year from every citizen of the United
States.
If you have not laid in your winters
coal and you can possibly get IL, see
that it is put in at once. If you have
implements to buy. or a purchase that
cannot be made here at home and
which must come by freight or express.
see that you do not wait too long to
get it unloaded at this end of the line.
The business man who secures his
stock in advance will also be able to
undersell those who wait until after
the increased freight and express rates
have become effective.
1t Is rather annoying, Wen admit, to
have to think of the morrow while We
are enjoying the pleasant days of sum-
mer. But in this case tomorrow means
next winter, and next winter is but a
short way off. Transportation facili-
ties are badly crippled at this time,
with labor troubles and a rundown
condition of rolling stocks. Increased
freight rates will only add to the bur-
den and make the problem more seri-

not the increase is justified, without
arguing who is going to profit in che

The two hunters sat smoking. The
sun was just disappearing over the
mountain. The whole western world
was ablaze. Shafts of light shot down
ward-gold tinged to old rose-and
then gradually faded. The sun had
suddenly disappeared, the light red
tinted into the light gray sky-and
there were faint shadows creeping
over the mountain top into the timber
and slowly stealing around the little
campfire. Night had come on in all
it's grandeur.
While the glorious transformation
was in progress, Allen noted it ir
silence, but with each change he saw
a vision-it was the face of q young
girl, and now as he sat looking into
the dying embers, that face was ever
before him.

Allen as he tossed the badly torn
gloves to the ground.

There had been trouble at the mine,

do as requested and they stuck to their
word. The War Industries board, how
ever, quietly slipped back into civilian
life on January 1, and so far as help
ing the copper producers as previous
ly assured, they have not been heard
from since
| Approaching summer, however, cop
per metal stiffened in price Prospects
of early ratification of the peace
treaty and resumption of European
buying, sent American consumers
scurrying to cover themselves and in
June and July about 635,O0O,O00 lbs
of copper were sold at prices as high
as "a cents per pound for spot metal
and a sale of electrolytic copper for
December delivery was made at 25
cents.
This took an appreciate bite out of
accumulated surplus metal. Govern
ment figures the first of last year put
the surplus of copper above ground in
raw and refined state at 1,200,000,000
pounds. In midsummer this was con-
siderably drawn down. But with the
advent of September, early hopes of
peace treaty passing were dashed;
labor the country over was on strike
or on the verge of it; foreign ex-
change, most vital factor in the
American copper industry, was de-
moralized Copper then was unstable
and in late October the price dropped
abruptly to 19 cents followed later by
another slump to 18 cents per pound.
From the middle of November on
to the end of December, however,
another wave of copper buying hit the
market, and the New Year was ush-
cred in with the metal moving in brisk
fashion and producers showing very
commendable and businesslike move
in not boosting prices commensurate
with demand. Various estimates are
heard of November and December
sales, but between 450,O00,000 and
5O0,OO00O0 pounds for the two months
! is a conservatively accurate amount.

by Big Jim as he was called by his
friends.
After a week had gone by and there
was no news Of the bandits, the sub
ject was no longer the principal topic
Of conversation in and around Tampa.
Every day Ena and Madge rode out
to the mines and frequently Madge
would steal away from Ena and Big
Jim. Then she would walk along a
lonesome trail or into the woods until
she came to a secluded spot There
she would take the badly worn pistol
from her pocket and turn it about and
look as if trying to find carefully
concealed name or some personal
mark. 1t was after one of these quiet
little strolls that Madge returned to
find Jim and Ena. sitting beneath a
tree. So intently interested we're they
in each other that only the clear peals
of Madge's laughter made them realize
they were not alone.
That night Madge and Ena retired
early, one to dream of mines and
miners-the other Of green wells. No
wonder they felt unusually gay the
next morning at breakfast. However,
they noticed that the hotel was prac-
tically deserted and they were COM
menting on this when the waitress en-
tered the dining room. Without the
usual salutatiOn she came to their
table and said: ''Did you hear the
newsw
"What news?" queried Madge, and
at the same instant a picture of a
tall man, wearing a green veil,, being
shot to death by posse, flashed
through her mind.
"Why," said the waitress, ''the bank
was robbed last night. They say two
men did the job. One watched while
the other blew open the safe. They
got S6O00."
'.Do they know who did it?'' It was
Ena who spoke.
''Know! OF course they do. 1t was
the same two robbers who held up your
stage" said the waitress in a matter
of-fact tone. Madge Immediately left
the table.

A Statistical Review of the Worlds
Chief Non-Ferrous Metal
(By the Boston News Bureau)

Boston.-When Father Time wrote
finis to the year 1919, American cop
per producers closed one of the most
trying chapters in their history. There
was almost universal belief that fol-
lowing the armistice in November,
1918, the new year of 1919 would bring
in a demand from industry and post
poned construction such as the world
had never before seen and which
would far surpass the consumption of
red metal by the God of War.
It was not long, however, before the
truth was brought home poignantly
that world, spent with a four-year
war, couldn't pull itself together i'm
mediately and resume itsmanufactur-
ing activities, with consequent con-
sumption of ali kinds of commodities.
In January, February and March of
1919 copper metal was almost static
so far as consumption was concerned,
and the tremendous tonnage of blister
copper WHICH, uuIlIIS CuS 4ooC Ad1A VI
1918 had clogged our, refineries began
to make an appearance. A steady
stream of copper was poured from our
refineries at the rate of 200,000,O0O
pounds month for the first four
months. The price of copper dropped
precipitately from the government fig
ure of 26 cents per pound which ush-
cred in January to low of 14A cents
in the following March.
Then it was that curtailment was
inaugurated on a large scale, although
some producers had seen the hand
writing on the wall and had con-
tracted their operations earlier in
1919. In passing, too, it might be
mentioned that the war industries
board in December, 1918, begged cop
per producers not to curtail, but to
keep production at maximum, main
tain working forces, at war pitch and
wages at war prices and keep the
sales-price of the metal at the govern
ment price of 26 cents.
The copper producers promised to
