aire," they keep in touch with sur
rounding posts and units of the
department, profiting by their good
example in community service,
Anericanism, welfare or other ac-
tivities.
Similarly, they get together
once a year in friendly conference ;
this being in addition TO their leg
islative convention in August. The
"Spring Conference" is held in
April, usually in Minneapolis, and
includes talks by national leaders,
by department heads, by committee
chairmen, and by posts and unit
leaders who have something of
value in the way of experience to
impart.
All look forward ito the banquet
which concludes the pep-fest. This
years conference will be held Fri
day afternoon April 8, and Satur-
day forenoon April 9th; Saturday
afternoon being devoted to the
Fort Smelling Hospital dedication,
and Saturday evening to the an
nual Spring Conference banquet.
In addition to state and district
leaders and national officers, the
commanders of Iowa, North and
South Dakota and Wisconsin have
promised to attend, as has the Ed
itor of the Iowa Legionaire, Frank
Miles. So delegates will be sure
to gain valuable information for
their 1927 work. 1t is this faculty
of following good advice and ex-
ample which makes Minnesota a
power in Legion1Auxiliary af-
fairs.

CONSUMERS RUN
Low IN METAL
STOCKS, REPORT
BY CHARLES f. WILLIS
Editor The Mining Journal


The way that the purchasing OF
tho metals has continued indicates
that the consumers have been running
very low in their stocks and it has
served to keep the prices OF the
metals up TO the point 70 Whlch
they went couple of weeks ago
without signs Of weakening. Copper

and zinc at 6.37 1-2.
The strength in the zinc price l.
an evident result of July conditions
for zinc dropped considerably IL
United States production and the
surplus stocks of refined zinc in the
United States dropped from 1885
! tons to 80 1923 tons. Zinc is not nearly
as dependent upon the foreign market
as copper as deliveries of zinc for
III. S. consumption are just about
equal to the amount being produced
! About 20 per cent of the zinc OF tht
world comes from the United States
mines.
Lead continued to be produced il

July figures were encouraging for .leac
and zinc but not for copper.
In view Of the July statistics OF
copper, it is evident that the whole
present strength OF the copper marke
is in the fact that there has beer

1 and that this curtailment has beer
Of sufficient size to make the con
suners wonder whether they are go
ing to be able to get all the coppe
they want three or four months from
now when the present mine produc

product.
The curtailment of the copper in

in the mine production figures TO
July as the daily zinc production
rate in the United States totalet

The, statistics further show that al
classes of mines in the United State
took their share of production cut
as the porphyry, lake and vein mine
were all down from June figures
The real extent of the production
cuts will be shown on the Angus

period of a month.
The July statistics alone woul
probably have caused a further dro
