We have had a fair quota of snow
and wind so far this month, some
bright sunny days and cold dear
nights. Not much in the thawing line
yet. The trails have been and arc
still bad. A tremendous amount of
snow and no crust formed yet. Our
drift operators figure on being able
to stack up dumps for a month or so
yet. Freighters are making efforts to
get up supplies to last until the river
goes down, for it Is expected the river
crossings will be Impassable into Jul\
and if rains follow the melting snows
freighting will tie held up much longer.

THINK WAR IS USING UP
GERMAN Y COPPER STORE
LONDON.—Twenty-six .million allots
are being fired by the Germans alone,
according to estimates credited to "one
of the world's foremost authorities on
copper," whose discussion of the im
portance of this metal is published in
the Times, with his name withheld.
His estimate of 26,000,000 German
shots every twenty-four hours is based
on the belief that the German firing
line extends in all about 700 miles, and
the “conservative” guess that 1.300,000
Germans are taking part in tho en
Igagements daily, to the extent at hast
of tiring twenty shots each. This
would be a low average, he believes,
as during real engagements hundreds
of shots are fired by each man.
Since a rifle cartridge, unloaded,
weighs lxl.grains, the total waste-age
of brass in this form would amount
to t;x7,57X pounds, or roundly 3<>r> tons'
per day. These figures much no allow
nitre for the machine guns, which spit
out bullets every second.
Owing to the mud and water in
which so mnn.\ of the battle ha\. I.n
fought, tlic writer believes is was
doubtful that a per cent, of lie' cart
ridges used were recovered for re
smelting.
"Not even Germany's huge propai.i -
tions could have provided for such a
waste of copper for any length of
time." he declared

districts hundreds of children may be
made physically fit for the work of

championed by Mrs. Hearst, whoso ap
peal caused Alderman Dowling to as
sure her the appropriating inonsim

the provision for penny lunches is on<
of the best things the city could do

the public schools and I have seer

“If any member of the board is not
sure ns to the splendid work being ac
complished he should go to see for
himself.
“The city is not asked to furnish the
food—it is asked simply to provide
equipment, so that the children may
have the opportunity of procuring one

“Dear Mary," wrote the young man,
“pardon me, but I'm getting so forget
ful. I proposed to you last night, but
really forgot whether > mi said v.-s or
no.”
“Dear Will,” she replied by note, "so
glad to hear from you. I know I said
‘no’ to someone last night, but i had
forgotten Just who it was."
Wishing to avoid tlie clerical air
which so many ministers assume while
traveling, a preacher attired himself
in a sack suit of mixed color, lie en
gaged in conversation with a salesman
for a book concern, who took him for
a brother knight of the grip. Finally
the bookhouse man said, ns con versa -
tion lagged. “Let us see, what house
are you traveling for'.’” “For the House
of the Lord,” replied the minister,
gravely. “Never heard of ’em,” said
the other, shaking his h«%<L “There’s
a lot of new concerns started up since

“Mamma," said 'small Elmer, “let’s
go in the hack yard and play football.”
“I can't piny, deer." answered the

“Hull!" exclaimed Elmer, scornfully,
“that Is what comes of having a wo
man for a mother.”
