GERMAN DEMAND FOR
COPPER DELAYED BY LOW
VALUE OF MARK

Charles Hayden, of Hayden, Stone
& Co., discussing the general copper
market situation, has this to say re-
Igarding the needs of the Central Pow.
Iers: Germany needs copper and
needs it very badly, but because of
the low value of the mark and the
consequent high price of copper, in
that they must pay for it when bought
in this country in dollars, and also
because of the shortage of coal, those
we'll informed state that the quantity
of copper to be bought by Germany
i'm this country will not exceed, until
conditions materially change, 5000
tons a month.
"All forecasts as to Germany and
Austria seem to hinge on how the
people get through the winter months.
In the spring it is evidently expected
that there will be marked revival
and improvement of the conditions
with a demand for copper that will
average at least 10000 tons a month
The best estimates of the tonnage of
copper on hand on the other side at
the end of 1919 put England down at
100000 pounds, France at 100000
pounds, and Italy at 100000 pounds

School Notes

The Ray schools are taking collec-
tion twice each month for the Near
East Relief. In many places boys and
girls of the schools are asked to
pledge certain amounts to be given.
The teachers do not approve of that
plan here as we are training boys and
girls with the aim in view of making
them the kind of citizens that will be
a real asset to community. We do
not conder person a good business
man, sometimes even thinking him
dishonest, who will sign an obligation
to pay when he has no income, no job,
and absolutely does not know where
1t is coming from. For that reason
we do not wish our boys and girls
to get into any such business habits.
Will parents who appreciate the fact
that their boys and girls are so for
tunate as to be in this land of plenty,
even if the price is high, see to it
that their little folks have at least
a dime for this collection?
Those of you who are not so fortu-
nate as to have children in school
will make two little folks happy if
you will send dime to this collec-
tion, a happy Ray boy or girl and a
happy little one in the Near East.

was very gratifying and we hope the
next meeting will be larger still. We
want to discuss the baseball team and
make arrangements for our practice

ball in Ray again this summer and

night there will be a feed and i'm
proyised entertainment 1t is the duty
of every member of the Post to at
tend these meetings, they are held
but twice month, and when the at
, tendance is small, the rest of us hesi-
tate about concluding arrangements
on matters vital to the Post because
we do not know how the rest of the
members stand on such matters. We
want to get your ideas about the fu-
ture policy of the Legion and if you
do not attend the meetings, we will
be cropping about in the dark.
We wonder where that fellow Cap
tain Burns who testified before the
senate committee to the effect that
we do not know what we want in the
matter of a bonus-we wonder where
he spent the war. 1t strikes us he
took lot for granted when he told
them that all the reward the dough-
boy asked for was the privilege of
serving his country during the war,
and had the war continued about ten
days more, it would have made us
the happiest people in the world.
That sentimental stuff was all right
while the war was going on, but it's
over now and the American Legion
should see to it that we do not send
as our spokesman again such an ennis
sary as this Captain Burns. The ex-
soldier wants congress to keep the
faith with us, Some of us want the
bonus and some of us want the privi-
lege of the homestead rights with gov
ernmental leniency and help in order
to convert some of the vast areas
which are going to waste into pro-
ductivity. If the ex-service man in
Yonkers wants the bonus, give it to
him; tut if the ex-service men of the
west prefer to go back to the soil,
then let other provisions be made to
see that he does not starve to death.
Next Monday night we want to
work on the bylaws for the Post and
we feel that every member should
have his opinions considered. We ex-
pect to decide on these bylaws at the
next meeting and if you do not at
tend we all lose by it.
