Mr.. Taft said IN his address: I'VE are

brought on, in my judgment by the ex-

by the lack of an elastic system OF cur

in our business fabric produced in Europe

Paper From corn-Stalks

Uncle Sans busy chemists in
Washington have decided that cheap
paper can be made from sorn-stalks.
We have long known that wrapping
paper is manufactured out Of old rags,
that the back fence can be turned in
to perfumed and tinted stationery,
and that newspapers are made OF
primeval forests and damaged repu-
,ations. Now they tell US that a COM
mon rural nuisance is an ssset-that
some day every farmer can be his
own paper trust.
The proposition from Washington
is music to our ears, The disappear
ance OF our forests and the machina-
tins Of the Paper Trust have made
the price Of paper soar like a Wright
aeroplane. At the rate we are going
now paper Is destined to be beyond
the reach Of ordinary mortals-paper
railroads win cost more than real
ones, and paper-soled shoes win be
luxury which only the rich can en-
Joy. II something isn't done about il,
a day may come when the Sunday
newspaper will be no larger than the
atlas OF the world, and magazines vii
cost so much to get out that there
will be no room for the advertise
ments.
But It seems we are TO be saved
from these awful possibilities. Will
yevery farmer growing cookbooks anc
car-whels and fre-prooi theatre cur
