When we open a can of peas (kr beans, the can goes into the refuse bin and we forget about it. But empty cans brought Jim Ledford a tidy little fortune and only because he was an observant men. Ledford was employed on the world-famous Anaconda copper mine in Butte, Montana, where be lived up to 1905, The mine at that time was producing roughly one-third of the world's total output of copper, Water from the mine was pumped into a small stream that meandered past Ledford's shack and the shacks of a few thousand other people, all of „„whom were employed on the mine. Ledford, like all the families in the rough mining district lived almost entirely on canned foods. And the countryside for miles around, even the little stream, was littered with thous- ands of empty cans, Ana eonda copper-bearing water seeped through these cans for all of the twelve years Led- ford lived next 'to the stream. One day he eninced to fish a can from 'the river. He was on the point of throwing it back when he stared in amazement at the rich copper deposit on his hands! He " realized the potential value.-of the cans at once - they were nothing less than storehouses for all the copper- Impregnated water from Ana- conda, As the cans rusted on the river bed so they were being consumed by the mineral-laden water, extracting copper from the rejected mine liquid and de- positing pure metal on the bed of the shallow stream. Casually Ledford approached Anaconda and asked for a lease on the river where, it flowed over mine property.

Ramsay Co., Registered Pat- ent Attorneys, 273 -Sank St. Ottawa. University of Kentucky, bore out the fact that raising wheat was once practiced to a great extent by farmers in the moun- tain, counties. I have no memory of whether Mom knew why Dad chose the design but the wheat mold be- came her favorite and she used it t maim . The next mold, Dad made en- tirely by hand; whittling and carving the three pieces from a chunk of sugar -maple, in his spare time, The design be used on the pat was a simple four- cornered star, 'with streaks, de- noting brightness, running from each , tip, The star along with Dad's initials stood oet distinctly. Mope Ve'llo did, not care to take the time to make butter molds, ',purchased enanufactured ones at hardWare stores Many times these molds -poved unsatis- factory because they had been dried so quickly and to such a high degree that small crevices and breaks distorted the wood and made it difficult to mpld but- ter smoothly. Those who wanted to practice carving designs on these molds were definitely dis- appointed because the wood was stubborn and simply would. not take -a blade! I have one of these molds in my possession today and the pat contains a deep one- half inch cut, which is evidence enough that someone, perhaps it was Dad; attempted to trans- fer a design from memory to the wood bud failed. At our house; Mom molded butter twice a Week; on Tuesdays and FridayseeThe family cows, . with such poetic names as June Bell, Grand Duchy and Pretty Girl, provided milk from which butter wasechurned. mad for wanting to lease worthless Waste water, they agreed and gave him a year's Ledford got himself a cart and set about working from dawn till sunset collecting the thousands of empty food cans which had been thrown away by the mine workers' families, He bought up scrap metal and every few hours came home with the loaded cart. His wife was furious. lie was spending good money on rub- bish and what was he doing with all this junk? Simply ditching cartload after cartload into the stream! 'But be never told her what he was up to. For sixty days Ledford work- ed hard at it until the country- side around Anaconda was spot- less; there wasn't a can to be seen, for all the cans were rust- ing at the bottom of the Ana- conda stream, now Ledford's lawful property. Ledford sat back contentedly, watching the Cans rust. Then, when the lease had two days to- go, he sprang to work, bringing up the cans and dredging the riverbed, rich with copper de- posit, cans golden in colour with rich copper. While Anaconda engineers stood dumbfounded, Ledford. hauled in pure copper to the value of thousands of dollars - and offered it for sale either to Anaconda or on the free mar- ket. Anaconda, which control- led the market, bought at once. Ledford knew that he would never get another lease from Anaconda. He had made a haul and that was the end of it. He packed up his family on the day when Anaconda harnessed the river to return the copper it stole from the mine, and went Off to his native Kentucky where he bought a large house and lived the life of a .rich cop- per magnate. Modern Etiquette. Q. Is it all right for a woman, who is marrying for the second time, to wear-white? A. No; nor does she wear a veil or carry orange blossoms. And the, simpler the ceremony, the better taste it displays. The most sensible woman marries inconspicuously at home or" in church, with only intimate friends and relatives present to witness the ceremony. Q. Is it proper for an engaged couple to mail birthday cards to friends signed with both of their names? A. This is quite all right. Q. Is it proper to remove food quickly from the mouth if you suddenly find it's too hot to swallow? A. Never. Instead, take a, quick swallow of water. Q. If a man finds himself seated next to a woman acquain- tance on a train, should he offer to pay for anything she may buy from the vendor? A. He is not obligated to do so. On no' account should' he in- sist upon it, if she' declines any offer he might make. One of the hallmarks of the socially ignor- ant is one's insistence upon mak- ing everyone a debtor. Q. Is it all right for a hostess to use her tea cart to transport dishes from her kitchen to the dining room table and back again? A. Certainly, if this Makes things easier for her.

"No," Mom would, answer rather firmly, "The family uses more butter if' it's decorated and presented more, attractively." Molding butter did take time but it was, time well spent.

One hun- dred faet.strokes of the wooden paddle through the butter were needed to "knock out" surplus milk. This was an operation that , Mom perferreed. She always ad- monished us to be quiet, while she counted the paddle strokes. Prior to the using, the' molds were taken from their accuse tomed place and placed in cold water to soak for thirty minutes. The cold water kept butter from sticking. The freshly worked butter was lifted out'of the bowl, placed in the moldi, smoothed and flatten- ed at the. top, Butter was press- ed firmly down into the molds to obtain the best impression. nos- sible of the decorations. After the butter settled and hardened, The first mold I remember was made from wood of a spice tree.
