More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J.. MONTAGUE
4 SONG OF SUCCESS

"A SONG OF SUCCESS
Don't sit down and wait for gooe
luck to come by,
1t may keep you waiting forever
If you want every meal to conclude
with mince pie,
You have got to be active and
clever.A
The word will not pay you the living
it owes 50
3 Unless you will aid and abet it,
Don't waste your good hours in sloth-
ful repose,
But take off your coat and go get
If some chap has a job that you think
you can fill
Make hoping to land it habits.
Some day he may die or fail mortalIy
i'll,
And then you can step up anl
grab it.
Don't wait till too late to apply for
his place,
Or the rest of your life you'll re-
gret it,
The fellows who win the first prize
IN the race
Are those with the nerve to go
get it.
If you see nice bank it would please
you to own,
Do not wish it was yours on the
quiet,
But so to somebody and float a big
And then you can walk up and buy
it.
Have a will that's so firm when it
takes up a plan
That nothing can ever upset it;
You cannot be a famous or pros
porous man
Unless you resolve to go get it,
ssaa.el.b
Though somebody else may possess
what you crave,
Do not give way to envious sor-
Be honest, laborious, noble and brave.
And the thing may be yours by to-
morrow
Though trouble may worry your
neighbors lot,
1t won't trouble you till you let it;
Whatever you want you have practi-
cally got
If you just hustle in and go get it!

it's drop, is far larger than any other
month during 1926. Deliveries for do
nestle consumption totalad 74,2O7 tons,
just about an average figure.
Copper consumption in the United
States can hardly be expected to CON
tinue to advance as it has been, and
many people believe that we have al
ready reached the top of the cycle in
general business prosperity and that
we must expect some dropping off.
This has been evident in a few lines;
noticeably, building construction. How
ever, the domestic consumption for
1926 is going to total about 910, 900 tons,
as against S31,171 tons in 1925, and
753,389 tons in 1924.
When the figures of 1926 domestic
copper consumption are compared with
the high war year of 830,S9 tons, it
may be secn that we can suffer some
drop without serious injury. The
United States consumption of copper
today is in excess OF the total world
production for any years before the
war. Contrary to expectations; the lead
price has dropped from the basis of

that the shutting down of some of the
lead-silver mines, due to the low price
of silver, would serve to decrease the
amount of lead produced and that, witt
the lead demand maintained, the short
ened supply would bring up the price
The recent activity of copper buying
has not reflected itself into the zinc
situation, even though much of the
copper buying has been for the brass
mills, and zinc buyers have been con-
spicuous by their absence.
The United States production of zinc
during November was 55,062 tons,
higher than during any month of this
year, and the stock of zinc stands at
14,4S1 tons, which is the lowest figure
of the year. The United States con-
sumption of zinc during November was
53,319 tons, again the highest month of
the year. Zinc has been maintaining a.
good balance between production and
consumption. There has been no change
in the silver situation except the news
of additional Mexican silver mines
shutting down. The silver situation,
while bad enough, has not been the
only factir contributing to the shut
down of Mexican mines, as conditions
in that country has not been favorable

HEAVY HOLIDAY
BUYING Helps
COPPER TRADE.

"Pre-holiday quietness has marked
the metal market on lead, zinc and
silver, but has not been evident in
copper" states the current issue of
the Mining Journal, "as the volume of
buying has been good and this has
strengthened the price, although not
raising it. Lead has taken a price
drop, zinc was almost motionless in
price and buying, and silver dull and
slow. The lower price Of copper has
been attracting buyers and the volume
of sales has been exceptionally good,
and it is evident that those who have
been holding UP their buying had fig
ured that the time to lay in stocks
had arrived. Much of the buying was
done at 1874 cents, and deliveries were
scattered over the next three months.
Copper did not react in price as was
justified by the buying volume of the
past two weeks. Ordinarily a buying
wavesof this kind would have been ac-
companied by increasing prices, but

Box of Blasting POlUder
DISCOVERED Hidden in Old
SchOolhouse by Officers

A box of blasting powder, believed
to have been stolen from a Bisbee
mining company, was discovered Sat-
urday by w. "A. Mcdonald, deputy
sheriff, in the old Warren school
building.
The Lowell deputy had learned OF
the possibility of the powder being
cached there when Il group of boys
sent to clean the schoolhouse, were
observed carrying box of caps, and
fuse to a point in Warren in the
rear of the Greenway school build
ing. 1t was believed that the youths,
having discovered the powder, ex-
pected to return for it at a later
date and amuse themselves by set
ting it off at some lonely spot in
the hills, Mcdonald found the caps
and fuse, where it had apparently
been cached by the boys in clump
of bushes.

The students will come here in their

So widespread has the interest de-
veloped in motoring that the coming
Christmas will no doubt be marked
as an automotive one.
For many years the value and
appropriateness of automobile sup
plies had been overlooked in the
preparation of the lists for the dis
tribution of the Christmas gifts. The
last few years, however, Christmas
has taken on a different meaning
for automobile owners, and accessories
as Christmas gifts have become ex-
ceedingly popular.
Five or ten years ago, anyone who
contemplated giving something for
the car for Christmas was faced
with a real problem unless he chose
goggles or gloves or a lap-robe
Actual. accessories for the car offered
an extremely limited selection. A top
or windshield as Christmas gift
would have been welcomed back in
1910, as most of the cars lacked that
protective equipment-even then 1T
was oue of the question as the price
was prohibitive.
Gifts of every conceivable kind
are included in the offerings featured
for the car owners and they run
the entire range of things useful and
beautiful for the adornment of the
car There is such an endless array
of equipment that appeals to the
motorist that it should be extremely
easy to decide upon present that
is practical. The prices, too, are
ic cI1ita hlp
present for every pocketbook. 1t is
simply matter of selecting some
article of equipment that his car
now lacks. No matter what the
selection may be, it is certain that
it will be appreciated.
Those without cars can show their
appreciation to their motoring friends
who have taken them on trips and
weekend excursions to the mountains
or beaches, by giving them some
accessory or article of camping
equipment.
Complete as the car may seem,
there are still many fitments that
are lacking to give the maximum
of enjoyment and comfort to motor
ing. Among the most popular selec-
tions are such acceptable gifts as
radiator caps, wind shields, for
closed cars, cigar lighters, auto
clocks, motor robes, spot light, flower
vases, Toro-voco and Aermore horns,
picnic luncheon sets, electric wind
shield cleaners and all manner of
camping equipment
That this is truly to be an auto
motive Christmas is evidenced by al
survey of activities at the Western
Auto Supply company's automotive
department. store. In preparing for!
the holiday event, Western Auto has
assembled a complete and compre
hensive stock of automotive access
sories from which the Christmas list
can be selected.

this did not happen and it seems evil
dent that the producers would rather
have the vlume increases than the price
advances. The volume OF copper sales
would not indicate any unwillingness
on the part of the producers to dispose
of their metal, although it is currently
reported that some producers are not
offering any for sale at present prices.
The indication from the volume of
domestic buying wouIdl be that the
drop in price had been halted and this
has served to bring in a greater
amount of foreign Inquiries.
The copper surplus has taken another
jump with November, which has prob
ably been removed in the buying ac-
tivity of the past two weeks. The sur
plus stocks at the end of November
totaled 1856 tons as against .6S,233
tons at the end of October This $500
ton increase came about through a
jump in domestic production of 1000
tons, drop of scrap copper produc-
tion of 500 tons, a drop in export ship
ments of 4,5OO tons, and jump of 500
tons in domestic shipments.
copper production IN North and
South America totaled 121,373 tons for
the month, as against 1881 tons for
October This is at a rate of 4,211
tons daily, a larger daily average than
has existed at any time since the war.
Copper exports during November were
46,492 tons, as against 510S5 tons dur
ing Oceober. This is hardly a fair
comparison, as the October kxports
were far higher than at any time dur
ing the year and NoYemher even with
