on quite an attack against the Central
Copper Company. If you will note,
however, they have really said moth
ing against the company, but have
used the greatest editorial weapon
known ridicule - which permits
them to say and intimate things that
could not be said in plain language on
account of libel laws. This attack is
rot founded upon facts.
eve have been following the oper-
ations of the Central Copper Compa-
ny for the past two years with very
considerable degree of interest, due
to the fact that it happens to be the
largest development project in the
Southwest.
They. have done a considerable a.
mount Of development work, and be-
ing familiar with their management,
feel I speak advisedly when / say the
company is developing the properties
in as fair and square a manner as we
have ever known. They have opened
ore in about rs different places and
are employing over 100 men regu-
larly.
We feel the stockholders are being
given every possible consideration in
the use of their money to develop the
properties as economically and eff
GENTLY as possible.

Company had had the lights turned
out, as Barfod said, and had slipped
out of an audience when confronted
with honest fair questions about his
Offering and his motive, then it would
be different thing. A number Of
papers, including this paper at first
blush took as true that article in the
Philadelphia paper and quoted part
of it, but when for the first time,
it is not Barfod saying what he say
Waterfall or somebody else told him
happened, when it is not Barfod put
ting his words into the mouth of
others, with lurid coloring, when it
is not Barfod doing the talking for
his tools, but Harold Waterfall him.
self, for the first time speaks. and
speaks in the highest form Of evil
science, sworn statement, and says
Barfod poisoned his mind and got
him to do a foolish thing and then
did not tell what really happened,
and goes on and tells the truth, we
say we are glad we did not follow
Mr.. Barfod very far.
It is clear to you as a working man
that Mr.. Barfod was and is out to de-
stroy your investment. He is after
crushing Central Copper Company, as
en- investment with whatever chance
you have for making money, and at
ter doing that regardless Of the value
of your investment. If he succeeds
YOU have lost. Is it your place to go
around hurting yourself, your own
compa--' and injuring it's chances Of
success by poisoning the minds OF
your neighbors, who might take stock
and help make it a great success,
merely on yellow journalism? Why
do yourself and your business that
injustice until Mr.. Barfod had
brought more unanswered facts to
light. Do as Mr.. Wanamaker says,
for he made millions by that rule. Be
a booster or keep your tongue until
the charges are "confirmed." Why?
Because his predictions and accusa-
lions are not proving up unanswered
and his charges are yelled and not
clear, and his motive you do not
know. Did you ever ask yourself
why he is doing you such a favor. II
it was such fraud why do not all
the press join him? Albert Coyle,
editor of the brotherhood Of Locomo-
tive Engineers Journal and other au-
thorities mentioned below, have said
some good things about this COM
pany and the men, and the plan to
help the working man, and they have
rot turned around Just because Mr..
Barfod spoke. Think Of these bigger
phases.
Let's see what you have bought?

LADY IN ERMlNE" AT
CENTURY IAUDED BY ALL

If the judgment of critics was to be
accepted by all as infallible, the length
of time of some of the performances
run would be considerably shortened,
and in some cases heightened. 1t is
not in the columns of newspaper
where some blase critic expounds his
opinions that play is branded sue
cess or failure, but in the lobby and
rest rooms between the acts and after
the performance is over.
If the expression of opinion from
the masses is to be given any cogniz-
ance whatsoever, then we are safe in
saying THE Lady in Ermine," now
playing at the Century Theater, in
New York, is one of the finest pro-
ductions of the season.
The stately Wilda Bennett as Mari
ana plays her part exceptionally we'll,
with Walter Woolf as her leading man
who, in the role of Colonel Belovar,
gives a creditable Interpretation of a
tyrannical commander, who is finally
subdued by the enobling influence OF
true love-
The plot is interesting enough to
hold ones attention, the music very
pretty, and the entire production has
finish which reflects credit upon
those who are responsible for it.

Ladies' Aid and Missionary Meeting

The meetings of the Ladies' Aid
and Missionary Societies of the Con-
gregational Church were held on
Tuesday afternoon at the home of
Mrs. J. d. Braddon, with Mrs. Dickin-
son and Mrs. Cause presiding at the
respective meetings.
Several big affairs under the care
of the Ladies' Aid Society, were dis
cussed as to final arrangements.
The conference of the Congrega-
tional Churches of Northern New Jer-
sey at the Cliffside Italian Mission
Church, will be provided with a
luncheon. by committee, of which
Mrs. c. J. Leegef is chairman.
Final plans were made for the story
evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hartman ON February 21, and the in
vitations were distributed
Discussion as to the place for the
play which is being rehearsed, re-
suited in the place being probably the
Grantwood school house.
A lady who was selling valentines
was present and gave 25 per cent of
her proceeds to the society.

LOUIS MANN AND GEO.
SIDNEY SCORE HIT

The walls of the Forty-ninth Street
Theatre are rocking with laughter
caused by the hilarious antics of Louis
Mann and George Sidney, the most
amusing theatrical team in the theatre
today. They are appearing in Aaron
Hoffman's latest farce-comedy, "Give
and Take" Mr.. Hoffman has joined
the stars of his former success,
Friendly Enemies" and his more re-
cent stage hit, Welcome Stranger"
and together in his latest vehicle they
give a performance that surpasses
their former successes to a marked
degree.
Mr.. Hoffman's refreshing comedy
concerns the working of scheme for
an industrial democracy by an ideal
istic college man in the canning plant
of his father in village in California
The plan is forced upon the unwilling
parent through the unfair trade meth
DDS of his competitors, the canning
trust, heavy indebtedness to the
local banker that for the moment he
is unable to lift, and a genuine love
for his son. Under the new regime,
the Indebtedness increases, until a
millionaire, attracted by the new pol
icy, places an order for a considerable
amount of business. 1t subsequently
develops that the millionaire is an
escaped lunatic, and the events which
swiftly follow result in climax that
is as unexpected as it is uproarious.
Mr.. Mann makes very human per-
sonality out of "Bullhead Bauer" the
factory owner, completely measuring
up to the demands of his character.
Mr.. Sidney makes a droll and COM
pelling figure out of the spokesman"
for the workers. His acting is a mas
terpiece Of characterization. Vivian
Tobin brings refreshing ingenious
ness and charm to the role of the
daughter Of the Spokesman" Other
excellent delineations are given by

WILD ANIMAL PICTURE
AT LYRIC WORTH SEEING

Show business is filled with uneX-
pected successes, which generally
mark a new cycle in the evolution of
the drama, but nothing SO unusually
startling in it's instantaneous success
has made Broadway sit up and take
notice like Hunting Big Game in
Africa With Gun and Camera" which
R. A. Snow brought out of the west
and launched here recently at the
Lyric Theater, New York City.
Unknown to waiting but unad-
vised world, Snow and his faithful
retinue We're travelling through the
heart of the Dark Continent, gathering
specimens for a collection of faunal
life, which is to be placed in the Mu-
scum of Natural History at Oakland,
Calf, where his expedition was origi-
nally outfitted.
1t is the drama of all life-the con
flicts and struggles for existence,
where the weak are the prey of the
strong, and yet there is something SO
these giants of the jungles and the
plains holds you spellbound AS the
story moves, one sits entranced and
feels how piff1ing are the frills and
frets of the average little movie, as
it unwinds its piping tale of modern
conventionalities. No mere triangle
of a maid and two men is needed here
to thrill you to the core, you are
watching nature in the rough tell its
far more interesting and inspiring
story and leading you up to the great
adventure. Our intrepid hunters come
upon crater in an extinct volcano.
Here the great African elephants,
those powerful and untamable fellows
and their mates, who have seized upon
this deserted spot as the citadel of
their eXclusiveness.
Don't miss this picture, and be sure
the children get to see it, for it is a
thrilling entertainment and a marvel
Gus illustration of a life you can see
in no other way.
