MORE OPTIMISM
 OF COPPER MEN

The copper market is quiet and the metal is quoted around 12A cents a pound, but producers are getting more optimistic. The technical position of copper is becoming stronger and the situation is much different to what it was year ago.
 Sales totaled about SO,000,O00 pounds last month. This was about double the production of North and South American mines. The refined product is being gradually reduced and copper authorities say It Is only logical to expect that broad demand for the metal will make it's appear ance shortly.
 Today the surplus is believed to be from 750,000,000 to 1,0Oo,oOO,000 pounds made up of not more than 700,000,000 pounds of refined and 300,000,000 pounds of blister copper. It is estimated that the surplus was reduced about 1OO,0OO,O0O pounds in the first six months of this year and will probably be reduced 300,000,000 pounds more in the last half.
 Copper sold down to II 5-S cents a pound last month, the lowest price since 1902 when it changed hands at II cents. But in the last two weeks the price has firmed up again and the metal has sold as high as 12& cents. The advance has been reflect ed to some extent in copper shares.

LAKE COPPER CAMPS
 DO SMALL BUSINESS

CALUMET, Sept. 16.-Reports of copper shipments for August, compil- ed by the United States Engineers office here, reflect the decline in bus mess as the summer advances. 1n- stead of showing improvement the combined shipments by all of the lake properties was 5,176,00O pounds, com pared with 6,526,OOO pounds in July and 5,95S,000 pounds in June. The total for the year is 22,S7O,OOO pounds. This does not include ship ments by rail which probably total 10,O0O,OOO pounds for. the year while lake shipments last year were 37,560,- 900 pounds, with rail shipments aver aging about the same as for the first four months of 1921.
 It is this falling off in business that is so disconcerting and is making for such ~serous depresson. Nevertheless the people of the Lake region seem to look to the spring of 1922 as the time for the revival and anything earlier than that date in reality would come as a direct surprise.
 Fall Trade
 Calumet has about 500,000 pounds of ingots and other special shapes on it's boks for delivery about the mid dle of September, chiefly for France, so the month is opening rather slow. Brisk business is predicted with Germany-a turn in events that seems to be the pivot for the copper industry and a revival of business with cen- tral Europe, if only on a small scale, would be the cause for jollification here.
 No business has been done between any of the lake mines and Germany, so far as can be ascertained, for close to four months, and what export sales have been negotiated have been with France. Sweden has purchased q very small amount of Calumet and Hecla copper and whatever metal has moved to other. European countries has gone from the western or south ern mines.
 Special Shapes
 The receipt of occasional orders for special shapes makes it necessary to operate from.one to three units at the Calumet & Hecla shelter and notwith- standing the effort to get the force down to the bottom, approximately 125 men still are on the pay roll. When two furnaces are turning out special orders, another is, making anodes and later resmeltlng them when they come from the electrolytic plant. The latter likely will continue to operate for 30 or 60 days as there is a large pile of mass copper and a small quantity of mineral that is yet to be smelted.
 The only sale in which Quincy has figured locally for some time was for 100000 pounds to the Roebling wire mill last week. The latter also has made it's first shipments is some weeks a car of sO,O00 pounds having left for Oregon a week ago.

FIRST NATIONAL BUYS
 ARZONA'S BONDS

That Los Angeles bankers are do- ing everything in their power to in crease the prosperity of the back country became evident here today when announcement was made that The First National Bank of Los An geles has purchased $1,00O,000 6 per cent tax anticipation bonds of the State of Arizona at par and accrued interest, with a nominal premium, dated September 15, 1921 ,and payable September 15, 1922.
 The importance of this purchase to the State of Arizona lies in the fact that while Arizona has levied a cur cent tax of more than six million dol lars the money has not yet been paid in and as a result state warrants are widely distributed through banks and business houses of Arizona. In addi- tion the normal schools and other ac- tivities of the state are having if nancial difficulties. The sale of these bonds to The First National Bank of Los Angeles releases immediately one million dollars to the Treasury of the State to take up these warrants. The bonds are a direct obligation of the State of Arizona and legal in Califor- mia. They are legal for postal sav-
 TN l-.r and are tax free in Arizona.
 The purchase of these Arizona bonds is in line with the action of The First National Bank of Los Angeles in purchasing similar bonds of the State of Utah and in advancing money to handle the Arizona cotton crop and >cattle industries in the belief that the city of Los Angeles cannot prosper unless it's back country prospers.

LIVING WITH BOOKS
By Walt Mason Written for tn
Meeting of the Kansas Library
Association at Emporia Oct.

How good it is to live with books
to sit with them in quiet hooks, to
dwell with genius all the day, while
runs the weary world away! The
guardians Of the printed tones which
circulate in Kansas homes, to edu.
cate, amuse and cheer, and who are
now assembled here, inhaling Igor
(Seward) County dust, have in theii
charge a greater trust than keepers
of treasure chest where piles OF
gold and silver rust. For books, as all
the world agrees, have shaped the
nations destinies upon the shelves
where volumes rise, the wisdom Of
the ages lies; the inspiration of the
seers, the poetry of all the years
the jingle of the TESTERS bells-all
this in every library dwells. You
hand out Shakespeare by the yard
an deal in every deathless bard; your
shelves in heavy, lore abound, you
dish up science by the pound, you
furnish "ologies" galore, and custom
ers still call for more. There is NO
great work on earth than sending
knowledge, wit and mirth, set down
in ink by hands inspired, to homes
where people, worn and tired, forget
while turning Ger the page, the grie-
vous weight of toll and age.
