COPPER AT / II
MAKES OUTLOOK
CHEERFUL

With the price OF copper metal
pegged at IA IA cents a pound
yesterday and lead at $3.50 there was
an atmosphere of optimism among
business men in Douglas because OF
the effect they feel certain that will
mean to this city. Copper above 1a
cents suggests an active condition i'll
the industry and activity in the cop
per industry means much to Douglas.
Should the market climb another
cent or so it automatically would
mean a larger buying power to the
workers because of the graduated pay
agreement providing for a iarger dis
tribution in the event that the metal
price exceeds given peg point which
in this section is Is cents. But just
the mere advance of the metal has
resulted in a better sentiment
throughout the city's population and
it is the forecast that with continued
market activity, this will bring the
busiest Christmas there has been here
for some time.

SONORA EDITOR
WHO OFLEWSOUTH
is IN DOUGLAS

Caledonia E. Moreno, one of the
first men to fly an airplane from
Douglas to Nacozari, Sonora and the
publisher Of Ell Progreso, the weekly
newspaper of Nacozari, is in the city
for few days on business trip.
Moreno will be remembered here for
his exploit with an airplane which
occurred about seven years ago. He
had won very large sum OF money
in the Mexican lottery and, desiring
to show his gratitude to Lady Luck,
decided that he could do this and
at the same time afford the people
of his home town the sight OF an
airplane.
Moreno, after some difficulty, Sc
cured a plane and pilot and made
the flight successfully. He took the
money he had won in the lottery
with him and his friends jokingly
suggest to this day that he was afraid
to transport the big winnings in any
other manner
Moreno reports that Nacozari is
very quiet at this time but that
the people are looking forward to a
boom the first of the year when,
he states, the Canario Copper Com
pany is to start very extensive opera
tions there.

said, Burns instructed him to send

In this connection, the government
brought out that all except six of the
Burns men were sent home after the

OFFICER F 0 R
4S YEARS, DIES

CLEVELAND, Dec. z tH9-William 3
Premier, 70, for more than 48 years
an. officer in the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers, and for a number
CT years mead of the organization and
it's varied financial institutions, died at
his home here today from nervous ex-
l1austion and pneumonia.
Mr.. Premier had been in poor health
since the triennial convention of the
brotherhood here last July. when he
broke down after making strenuous
fight on the convention floor to vindi-
cate his administration.
Last August Mr. Premier was strick-
en-. with pneumonia and had only re-
covered a short time when he was hit
by an automobile while on visit in
New York He had almost recovered
from fractured hip and was removed
from a hospital only last Saturday.
Early this week pneumonia again set
in.
Funeral services will be held Satur-
day morning from Our Lady of Peace
Catholic church here.
Z During the brotherhoods convention
policies of Mr.. Premier we're attacked
from the convention floor, charges be-
ing made of laxity and carelessness
in his administration, especially in
matters of finances.
Premier had assumed leadership of
the brotherhood on the death of War
rem S. Stone in 1925.
The convention finally in its closing
sessions passed a resolution abolishing
the office of president, first and sec
ond vice presidents and secretary
treasurer thus automatically remov-
ing Premier from his office as presi-
dent
Charges of laxity and carelessness in
Prenter's administration never came
before the convention for vote. I'm
der the plan adopted, Alvaney john
son, grand chief engineer, is in charge
of all the brotherhood's affairs, both
executive and financial.
PREMIER entered the ranks of the
brotherhood as an officer in 1878, be-
ing made first grand chief engineer
in 1904, at Los Angeles. Premier and
Stone guided the brotherhood's affairs
for more than 20 years, and it was
under Prenter's direction that the large
brotherhood office building and "a
story brotherhood cooperative bank
building was erected here.
Premier was known as the financial
genius of the Stone Premier colnbina-
ton He had marked ability for fig
ures and handled $2oO0000O a year
of the brotherhoods funds. He was
for many years director or officer in

Montana prominent livestock breeders
brought home four grand champions,

Three of these Montana herds went

show and to the Chicago international

veloped during the last year. Radical
changes, he said, have been made in the
manufacturing policies Of a year and
year and a half ago. Where in former
times manufacturers Of apparel were
striving to keep up with monthly de-
mand for the new things they are now
on basis Of supplying a daily demand
for something new. Reproductions and
replicas of the striking new creations that
come from abroad are put on this market
the moment they appear Through per-
fection Of group distribution they are
offered to- the consuming public almost
Immediately. Telegraph and fast express
have served to hasten this distribution
to an almost incredible extent, Mr.. WE'LL
pointed out.
Making Of reproductions and replicas
Of the new styles in a medium price
range has served to increase volume in
the apparel trades enormously, Mr.. WE'LL
said. In times past these first appeared
at a high price range, but, sensing the
popular demand for the medium priced
apparel, manufacturers have revised
their policies accordingly and a volume
undreamed Of not so many months ago
has resulted. Special selection Of these
offerings Of the manufacturers by the
greatest stylists in the country, Mr.. Well
pointed out, gives to group distribution
discrimination in purchases and the eX-
perience Of demand not possible under
the old system Of periodical purchase by
the individual merchant or firm.

sion reached by Miss Edith Mott
clothing specialist for the Montana ex-
tension service, in her contacts with
thousands Of Montana farm women who
are carrying on systematic sewing work
in their home demonstration clubs under
the direction of the extension service
There is real diversity in the sewing of
farm women, says Miss Mott, a diversity
which is well illustrated in the results
Of a recent survey made by the United
States department Of agriculture.
Whatever changes may have occurred
in the last century to relegate the spin
ming wheel to place in antiquity the
undermining influences which have made
farming a highly specialized industry
have had but a partial effect upon the
activities in the farm home, says Miss
Mott. Women no longer make their own
cloth but they continue to make a large
| part of the clothing for themselves and
the rest Of the farm family. More thar
| two-thirdS of farm women make some
part of the family wardrobe, and the
articles made include nearly everything
in the family wardrobe.

specialization is not so great on the farm

matters as sewing has more than KEEP
