Big Expenditure for Luxuries.

ashingtOn-Federal tax returns have been given curious applications in connection with problems now be- fore the conference on limitation of armament. Statisticians for the gov ernment have labored hard to bring the relative figures as to military ex- penGitures and the amounts spent by the people of the country for amuse- ments and minor luxuries out so sharply that their significance would be seen at a glance. One set of tables shows that, against S418,OO0,OOO spent for the army, the people expended SS34 100000 in soda and confectiOns and $959, 100000 for perfumery, jewel ", silk stockings and other articles for personal adOrnment The smokers poured out S1,151, 100000 for tobacco in all forms. Baseball fans, theater- gOers, cabaret frequenters and those attending concerts paid S897, 100000.

of the world? Better instruments? :? Yes, undoubtedly. For the removal of disease, better scientific instruments are needed. For the removal of cer- tain domestic difficulties, better hOus- ing accommodations are needed. For the removal of industrial friction, better economic system is needed. For the removal of international strife, a new world organization is needed. A world that has been organized for war must be organized for peace. For the rebuilding of the world better instru- ments are needed. But what is su- premely needed Is a better spirit If only you and I and all our neighbOrs would consistently cultivate the Christ mas spirit, our children's children would live in far better world. For then 1t would be only a question of time until we should discover the in- struments needed for the fashiOning of a fairer civilization, and we would be willing to use these instruments as soon as they could be developed.
 What pity, then, if Christmas this year should come and go and leave none of us permanently different.
The St. Johns herald., 1921-12-22

The seasons of the soul, however f1eeting, do leave their mark. But in the case of many of us how faint that mark, and how liable it is to disap- pear. If only the kindly dispositions born at Christmas time could be per petuated, how permanently different the world would becOmel
 Most of us become faint of heart when we think of rebuilding the life of the world. To build a world with out any extremes of wealth and pow erty in it, how difficult. To build a world without any domestic tragedy ain it, how difficult. To build a world without any industrial friction or in- ternatiOnal strife in 1t, how difficult. Many people are ready to say that 1t is quite impossible. Perhaps it is. Yet it would not be if only men and wom- en would keep on cultivating the dis positions that are born at Christmas time.
 What IS needed for, the rebuilding

We need to perpetuate the Christ mas spirit in our homes.
 It is a solemn moment when two human lives are united for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sick ness and in health, till death do them part. As Jane Welch Carlyle once said, If ever one is to pray, if ever one is to feel grave, if ever one is to shrink from vain show and babble, it is just on the occasion when two hu- man beings bind themselves together till death do them part"
 There is nothing that more nearly resembles the heaven of our dreams than does happy home. Is there any thing that so surely suggests the hell of our secret dread as does an un- happy home?
 What is needed to build a home? Money is needed, but how much more than money! Money can build a house-a wonderful and wonderfully furnished house. Only love can build a home.

We need to perpetuate the spirit of Christmas in international relation ships.
 The nations of Christendom have been mOtived far more by Nietzsche's will to power than by Jesus will to serve. Their conception of greatness has been a pagan, not a Christian conception. The great nation has been thought of as a nation able to lord 1t over other nations, not as a nation eager to serve other nations. The proud symbols of the Western world have been swords and scepters, not basins and towels. But
 10, all our pomp of yesterday
 Is one with Nineveh and Tyreu
 Surely the meaning of this present hour is clear: Nations must do unto others as they would have other na- tiOns do unto them. Nations must enter into the worlds life not merely to get something, but to give some thing, and, in some international as- sOciatiOn, even to risk something in the interest of world justice and world peace.
 For the first time in history the na- tiOns of the world are looking con- sclOusly into the eyes of Jesus and know 1t to be true that He alone has the secret of life.

We need to perpetuate the Christ mas spirit in industry.
 For generations, now, the motive of profit has been the motive appealed to both in the case of men who had money to invest, and in the case of men who had strength or skill to in- vest, in the industries of the world. This motive of profit has been given a long trial. And 1t has failed-trag- ically failed. Its fruitage is a world catastrophe, and, at this present mo- ment, worldwide unrest.
 Why not try the experiment of ap- pealing to a different motive2 The mo-

DENVER LIVE STOCK.
Cattle.


 The local cattle market experienced a fairly active session of trading. Sup plies were of good proportion but de- mand was such that the stock was moved easily at figures which in most eases showed an advance of 10 to 15 cents and in spots as much as quar- ter.
 big proportion of the supplies were of feeder cattle so the effect of the strike was not felt as strongly here as at other points. A good represen- tatiOn of country buyers was in the yards looking for feeder stock, and many traders were reporting a clear ance. Quality ruled fairly good.
 In the feeder section values advanced 10 to 15 cents and even a quarter in spots. Heavy steers from Mankuss were sold for $5.65 and medium grades of cattle sold from $5 to $5.50. Some heifers were sold for $4.25 and some son yearlings brought $6.
 Hogs.
 The supplies of stock were fairly heavy and it was feared that if the stock was not moved a congestion might result with the arrival of other supplies. Only one load of hogs was sold and brought S6.60.
 Small killers paid the top prices, buying one load for $6.75. Bulk ranged from $6 to $6.50 and heavy throwouts were being quoted from $5 to $5.50.
 Packers were urging shippers to get into communication with their market representatives before loading more hogs, as the market is bound to be rather uncertain for the next few days.

scious of the reality and glory of spiritual world.
 Christmas is the time when we are conscious of an unusual desire to be kind. One day every year the world suddenly becomes different. Physical Iy speaking, it is the same world. The sky is the same. The streets are the same. The hOuses-barring a touch of holly here and there-are the same. But you and I and our neighbors are different. We are more just in our judgments. more thoughtful in our at tentiOn, more unselfish, more kind.
 It is probably true that these sea- sons of the soul, however fieeting, leave their mark We are, perhaps, bit more patriotic than we would be were it not for the annual observance of Memorial day; a bit more con- sciOusly grateful than we would be were it not for the annual observance of Thanksgiving day; bit more re- ligiOus than we would be were it not for the recognition of Lent and the observance of Easter day. And one would like to believe that we are bit more kind than we would be were 1t not for the observance of Christ mas
 The very approach of Christmas has certain noticeable psychological ef- fleets. In 1914 it resulted in a tenn pOrary cessation of hostilities. On that first war Christmas the booming guns gave way to Christmas carols, sung in three languages, as British and French and German soldiers fraternized be- tween the lines. In 1918, as the day drew near which would commemorate the birth of the Prince of Peace, a war-weary world dared to hope that foundations would be laid for endur- ing peace. The heart of the world is wrung by the suffering of China, the tragedy of Armenia, and the pitiful pleas of the starving children of cen tral Europe. Is there any man any where, not a degenerate, who is not conscious of a desire to diminish by ever so little the worlds distress?

SMALL SHRINKAGE IN
 SURPLUS OF COPPER

w. F. Bartholomew of Boston, of Tucker, Bartholomew & Co.,, has the following to say of copper metal:
 There are available in this coun- try 72S,000,000 pounds of refined cop per and if we include stocks in the reffners still in process the total sur plus of copper will figure up close to the billion mark. Even this, hawever, is a reduction of 100000 900 pounds since the first of the year, but we are only just beginning to feel the effect of the shutdown of the mines.
 Consumption of copper in this country last year was in excess of 1,250,000,000 pounds, but consumption in the United States this year will dc well if it amounts to one-half of last years total Stocks have not been very much reduced the last few months because of the large refinery production, but at the present time only eight properties are now produc ing but 34,000 900 pounds per month
 United States mines are now down to II percent of normal production while South American properties arc operating 46 percent. So that, moi

much matte is now coming to refin- cries and steady reduction in stocks should be apparent from now on.
 Europe and the Orient have taken about 5000 tons of copper of late and domestic sales have been vety small A monthly production of 34,O00, 900 pounds is making the market for the companies producing this copper are selling it as fast as producec and while the big selling agencies are not forcing sales the small independent producers are selling at 121a cents.
 "In view of this situation, one must take an optimistic view of conditions, for within the next year there should be demand for every pound of cop per above ground and that the pres, ent producers can now turn out, and when the future is sufficiently clear for the big companies to resume op- erations it will take six months be fore their copper in any volume can come On the market. While that sit uation is developing copper can very quickly come into it's own"
