WILL CORN BE PRINCE OF KING

Iuftner north.
 WILL CORN BE PRINCE OF KING
 Not until the cotton crop is harves.- ed and the yield of Indian corn, as well as the prices, which corn and cotton will command are known will there be certainty whether corn is prince or king. as compared with cot ton. The latest reports from Wash ington do not predict corn harvest { of more than two billion eight hun dred million bushels. But it may be that this prediction is as far out of the way as was the early government pre- dietion of the wheat harvest. At ad events from the northwest and also from some of the corn growing states of the middle west there come reports to New York which if they are accu- rate will justify the belief that three billion bushels of corn may be har- vested this year. Word comes from Montana that her corn acreage was increased nearly 40 per cent over last year, and the prospects now are that the state will harvest record crop of earn corn and besides produce a large amount of excellent forage. The out look now is that the country will har- vest this year at least 500, ,0O0, 900 bushels of wheat and not far from 8 GOO. 900, 900 bshels of corn. Further more, the prospect for an improved cotton harvest is excellent.
 SOME SLOWING DOWN
 From all over the country come re- ports to New York of a noticeable slowing down in general trade. This is not looked upon as something to i cause alarm The reasons are under stood. They are based upon the fact that the railroads have a shortage of cars, and delay deliveries. that some labor difficulties and threats of others are causing embarrassment, but per haps the the best reason is the grow ing spirit of economy on the part of the people. These are incidental not permanent causes it is said by the best authorities. And it may be oi advantage that business is stacking little for a time Nevertheless, the enormous imports of raw material make ! it clear that our manufacturers are | not looking for prolonged depression
 HOW MUCH PETROLEUM A few years ago the Unit ed States
 imported little or no petroleum. But
 we exported the refined commodity in enormous amounts. Now we are be- 1 coming a heavy importer of crude oil ] For there were brought into the Unit 1 cd States in the 12 months ending l June 30, nearly 5000, 900, 900 gallons of crude petroleum. whereas in 1917
 our import of petroleum was only a l billion gallons. These figures indi- cate that the statement made by an
 English authority that within ten years the United States would be com pelled to buy at least $50, 900 bar rels of petroleum a year may have some Justification.

New York, July Especial. 4--The
 farmers of the northwest are laborinE
 up to their capacity flor endurance so that they may harvest as soon as pos
 sible the early wheat which is now ready for cutting. There will be eager
 ness in this city to learn whether the
 farmers were able to cut their wheat
 before the peril of black rust is passed.
 These are critical days for the wheat farmer. and unfavorable weather which fortunately has not yet come. might cause a spread of black rust in the fields which are somewhat in fected
 This is early wheat. and while the farmers are hastening to secure the crop not now intent upon politics, i they are also somewhat disturbed lest there be insufficient facilities for talk ing care of the wheat after it is har vested. A few weeks ago reports from the northwest which reached this city stated that the railroad congestion might seriously interfere with the movement of crops and would also CT tail heavy demands upon the banks. so that the farmers could carry their crops. Today comes further informa ] ton that it is not the railroads alone, but lack of elevator facilities which 1 is disturbing the farmers. The bes. estimate which comes from Minneapo- i lis this morning is that the crop of small grains in the northwest will i probably exceed the elevator capacity 1 by 20,G00,000 bushels. The country elevators will be filled especially with wheat, within a short time after l the crops begin to move from the fields. Then it is a question for which no satisfactory answer has yet been given, what will be done with the wheat which the railroads can not carry nor the elevators store Transportation difficulties and made quate storage on the farms are likely 1 to create difficult situation, but the wheat will be there. It will not be | lost And the banks will enable the 1 farmers to carry it until the time comes when it can be moved to the

One of the Troubles of Copper

During the war, because of the high price, and the difficulty to secure the metal, the government requisitioning all of it, many concerns that had used a lot of copper were forced to use substitutes. and they are still, even in the face of the present copper prIce using them, because they still are cheaper than the things made of cop per. Copper. is a great merll and when people learn how mucn better than are the substitutes they are yo- ing to demand it. as they ought. First cost has influenced many against copper but it would be very much cheaper in the long run if copper had been employed in those lines for wh'ci. it is best adapted.
 How About Our Water Pipes
 Right here in the city of Bisbee we are put i0 great expense by the use of iron pipes for our seryIc pur- poses. for leading the water from the wooden main in the streets inlO oar premises and buildings. in q very few years wa Ii q these pipes have been almost closed with the al,,e lhdt Has SIoNH :Hto lnenl lOflliths, 'i deposit almost as hard as iron and fi- nally so closing the pipes that the latter have to be dug up and replaced always with more iron pipe, and the process of digging up and replacing continues.

 And Our Roofing Troubles?
 Today copper is the ideal material for roofing, and it always has been. Copper roofs one hundred or two hundred years old are nor uncommon. Today we are using all sorts of ar- tificial roofing. The pine and cedar are not obtainable or if they are they are of inferior quality. In few years our buildings need new roofs. i The old have to be torn off. the new ! replaced The new roofing and the labor of putting it on. amounts to a | big item. Two such roofs would pay ' for one of copper that would never have to be repaired and if the build ling was ever torn down the copper would have good salvage value, it being practically indestructable. In this Cloverland country where snows fall heavily, lodging on roofs and needing constant shoveling away to prevent the melting snows finding their way under the roofing and into the buildings, copper would be a pre- centive of all this work. worry and cost. When the first cost was incur red there would he no more trouble
 with it. It would be better as a fire risk. too. Flying sparks lodging on it
 would not start a blaze. It Is the
 very best material for roofing. and
 looks the best, and it ought to be us
 ed in preference to roofing of any
 other kind It's everlasting and inde-
 structable. We could help the copper market a lot by using it.
