Buy Something Made or Copper" Campaign 10 Be Started Here
 To Stimulate Use Of Red Metal

will be booster. There is no limit to the possibilities.
 Everybody Buy
 Not Cnly must we make this slo- gan popular, but we must get in be- hind the idea and buy something made of copper. Practically every store in every community has some thing with copper content All brass goods contain a great amount of cop per. Church bells, electric door bells, clock works, brass beds and many other articles of brass are 90 per cent copper
 The best way to nave the general public know just what is made of copper is to let each and every dealer put on an educational campaign. He can put his copper wares in the win dows, decorate his counters and ex- plain to the public just what can be made from copper.
 By boosting the copper game we boost Fl Paso and we boost the min ing game thereby boosting the south west. There are millions of pounds of copper to be used up and concerted action will help reduce the stock and get the mines opened more quickly" "

Fruits Plentiful On Local Market;
 Potatoes Go Up

A prodigious increase in the whole sale price of potatoes is the outstand- ing feature of the produce market dur ing the past week. California pota- toes advanced 150 per cent during the week. Definite information as the cause of the advance has not been re- ceived here, but local dealers are of the opinion that the potato crop of California has gotten into the hands of spectators who have caused the advance in price. Local stocks of potatoes are light, and unless there is an immediate reduction the local retail price will necessarily soar. No relief can be looked for from Cobra do because the potato crop there does not mature until late September.
 In general the food commodity mar ket remains very firm, although fresh produce, fruits and vegetables in sea son are cheap and plentiful. Butter and eggs remain firm, but flour has dropped slightly. Fruits that are plentiful and cheap include peaches, plums, figs, melons, while nearly all varieties of green and root vegetables are in abundance. Much Of the fresh produce now on the market is grown locally. ss&S
 Grapes are becoming plentiful and carload shipments of muscats from California, and Concords from the east, should be received the latter part of this month. New apples from California are on the market.

Plans for local campaign of Buy Something Made of Copper" as part of nationwide movement to stimu- late the use of copper n great vari- ety of utensils and manufactured arti- cles where it has been much neg lected, although 1t would give better results than any other metal, will be discussed next week at, meeting of the directors of the Warren District Commercial Club.
 The idea of a Buy Something Made of Copper" campaign was in augurated at a meeting of the Rotary Club of Fl Paso, and has spread to many other cities of the southwest. In Fl Paso most of the merchants l;e using the slogan in their advertising, and in display cards in the windows. Exhibits of copper utensils and pro- ducts are offered for the inspection of the public.
 In an address by J. l.. Harmon, manager of the Mine and Shelter Supply Company the plan was aptly expressed as follows:
 Every merchant can sell some thing made of copper. The furniture man can sell brass bedsteads, the undertaken copper lined caskets, the hardware man can push copper ar ticles in preference to other kinds. We can all help and in disposing of copper articles we are making it pos sible to bring prosperity back to the southwest.
 "EveTyone of us in the great south west either directly or indirectly owes a great amount of our bread and but ter to the copper industry.
 "Now that the copper market is dull is just the time for all of us to pitch in and enliven the trade. We can make a demand for this product if you will lend a hand''
 How to Help
 Here are a few ideas he suggested:
 Stamp your outgoing letters Buy Something Made of Copper A rub Der stamp will do. For out-of-town people, will gladly have one made To- cally and forward it at cost.
 Tn your advertisements insert Buy Something Made of Copper
 Put cards in your windows, Buy Something Made of Copper
 No matter whether you are milli- ner or an undertaken, put the window card in action just the same The woman who buys a new fall hat may be miners wife.
 Display copper wares in your win dows. Make attractive and original counters in your stores. Electrical dealers have a great opportunity to boost the game.
 Put into play your own ideas. Have everyone Buy Something Made of Copper
 California has it's Orange Day. Pennsylvania has it's Apple Day. The southwest is going to have it's copper week. We can make the event na- tional affair. Every manufacturer

More Than 100000 Unemployed
Missouri.

A. T. Edmonston. statistician, Of
the state department of labor gives
out the following facts relation to
the unemployment in Missouri:
".Thc figures returned to this office,
including September IS, show that
there are in St. Louis 6o,4oo idle
men. in Kansas City 5000; and in the
remainder of the state about $4,000.
These persons asking for employ
ment, are practically all working
men, coming from many lines of in
dustry.
The building trades show tie larg-
est number out of work.
There is a demand for women ia
domestic service that cannot be sup
piled. since feminine workers prefer
other lines Of service.
There is little reason to hope that
work will be found, during the com.
ing winter. for any large number Of
the unemployed. The state agencies,
however, and many other organiza.
tions are trying diligently to accom-
plish that purpose.
