COPPER ROAD SIGNS

Copper" officers of the association
have taken a deep interest in sugges-

copper instead of steel. not only for
road signs but for auto license plates
as well
Handsome and durable copper road
signs have been received by the
clubs headquarters as the first pro-
ducts of the big copper plant at Ajo
The chief objection. and one which
remains to be overcome. is that Of
cost The value OF the metal in these
signs alone is such as to attract the
eye OF the itinerant junkman. and it
is feared that such signs would not
stay put for any great duration of
time. however we'll they might wear.
Colonel Greenway's experts are
now working out the problem of how
to manufacture a road sign out Of
copper which will be slightly. durable
and at the same time inexpensive
II such sign can be produced at a
cost not greatly in excess of that
which is charged for enameled steel

sister.
CASTOR claimed that the fence was
being built on his sisters ranch
He was told. it is stated. that If a
survey disclosed that the fence was
not being built upon the boundary line
that it would be moved.
This statement failed to satisfy him.
At that moment Mrs. McBeath an
nounced that breakfast was ready and
Mr. McBeath asked CASTOR to join
him and his wife at the meal.

VILE RUMoR ABOUT
COPPER SALE. UNTRUE

DOUGLAS, Sept IA telegram
received in Douglas today from Nor
man Walker, at Ell Paso. stating that
the entire copper surplus Of the coun-
try had been purchased by Germany
and England. caused a great deal Of
excitement in the city this afternoon,
but proved untrue.
The Daily International telephoned
the Ell Paso Herald for confirmation
of the wire and found that a repre-
sentative of the Ell Paso chamber OF
commerce in Washington had written
a letter to d. A. Bandeen. manager
of the organization, stating that the
entire government surplus was re-
ported to have been sold.
Although such a letter was received
in Ell Paso, the writer did not give
any actual confirmation of his infor-
nation, and il is known the govern
ment surplus amounted to only about
so to 80 million pounds. some of it be-
ing scrap metal.
The Daily International also queried
the Associated Press at Denver. ask
ing it get in touch with Washing
ton. No confirmation could be re-
ceived.
Another important factor in tracing
the report was the stock market.
which today did not reflect any new
optimism of large sales of metal. Had
the report been true quotations would
almost Immediately have gone up
ward.
1t is unfortunate that such reports
are spread. when the community is
SO susceptible to any rumors tending
to show a revival Of the copper in.
dustry is near The Daily INTERIM
tional feels it did a public duty in
tracing down the report, which with.
out doubt, has no foundation.
