PAPER MAKING ORIGIN NOT KNOWN

Before proceeding TO set forth the matters IN

of the History or paper making. As its origin is
lost in the msts Of antiquity. and data concern

and variety it is possible 10 give only the merest

The excellent account given under ths head Of
paper in the Encyclopedia Americana would seem
TO comprise about all the known facts of the earlier
history of the art, and may, therefore, be quoted
here:
"Papyrus-The word paper is derived from papy-

to arbitration II the offer of Mr.. Fisher
is rejected
While the meeting developed consid-
cradle sentiment against the Fisher
suggestion, the crowd largely was
made up of radicals. Conservatives
among the car men said they were glad
of a chance to have the wage schedule
passed on BY each man in the south
side union according to his conscience.
Union Leaders Cautious.
Early in the evening. preceding the
meeting of the south side employees,
Mr.. Fisher had a talk with President
Mahon at the Briggs House. Clarence
Q. Pratt, chairman of the executive
board Of the Anal gamated Association
Of Union Car Men, was present at the
meeting. but Immediately after it left
for Pittsburg, Kas., where he is sched-
uled to make a Labor day speech.
The situation at that time had as
sumed a doubtful tinge. Some of the
union officials thought it advisable to
try to bring about the passage of the
Fisher proposition in mass meeting and
avoid the delay contingent upon a for
NAL referendum vote. other union Of
ficials feared that the proposition would
be turned down" in mass meeting, and
that resulting referendum vote con-
sequently would be prejudiced-

group of little wistful facts they were

as they were able. the parents were to

Fortune did not always favor them
after they arrived in this country. but
by dint of hard work they managed to
make little home for themselves, and
by the most rigid aconomy they saved
enough to warrant them in sending for
the children. Albert Mocarny worked
hard at the mill and all day long,
when her household duties did not re-
quire her presence at home, his wife
toiled over the wash tub whenever she
could find work. until the needed sum
was raised. Early this year it was
determined to send for the girls. The
mothers heart could bear the separa-
ton no longer. She arranged it so
that as she believed they could be

minors. Weeks and weeks went by.
Many papers had to be signed and there
were numerous visits to the office of
the consul representing the home gov
eminent of the Mocarnys, before the
glad time arrived when the children
could start on their long journey. 1t
was only week ago last Saturday,
when they were permitted to start, and
they arrived in Castle Garden last Mon
day. This last was reported by a man
who lives in Whiting. but whose name

BY BLAZE
Especial to THE T1MEa)


Hobart. Ind, Sept. A barn belong
ing to Charles Shultz located a short
distance north of this city, was de-
stroyed by fire last night, causing a
serious loss to the owner. The barn
contained besides four horses. two
calves and a number of valuable farm
ing implements, sixty tons of good, new
hay.
The building was burned to the
ground and all its contents destroyed
including the live stock. The fire was
discovered too late to be saved. and
although some little attempt was made

neighbors, when it was first discover
ed all efforts were soon abandoned, as
it was realized that they would be
fruitless. The fire department was not
even called out for the same reason

NORTH SIDE

W. H. Gostlin announced today that
he is buying Holman street frontage
on the north side and that he will buy
all of the cheap frontage that is for
sale. Mr.. Gostlin has already secured
eight lots and he will buy as many
more as he can get cheaply.
When asked if there was any par
ticular reason why he should interest
himself in Holman street frontage, Mr..
Gostlin said that he believed that 1t
would increase in value. However. he
said there was no immediate reason
that the property would show a sudden
increase IN value.
The people of the north side who
have been complaining that there was
no market for their property should
sit up and take notice The interest
that is being shown by the firm of
Gostlin. Meyn & Co. in their north side
holdings is significant.

The other grades will retail in pro-
portion.
The cheaper classes of beef, known
as chucks and plates mercifully, were
left at their old prices, ranging from
down to cents. Hash converts are
expected accordingly.
Pork Prices About as Usual.
One more slight ray of hope for the
family provider was discovered in the
fact that the price of veals remained
unchanged and that mess pork had
risen only fraction of a cent,
Pork loin. however, has risen l "
cents in the last few days and is now
retailing from 1T1s to IS cents.
The local dealers say they are help
less in the matter and that their prices
are regulated by those Of the whole
saler.
The statements of the experts in con-
nection with the unusual increase say
GOODNESS unusual for this season of the
year has led to an increased consunp-
ton of meat, and-for a reason that
remains unstated-of the most expen-
sive cuts. The consequence has been
a shortage in the supply Of beef in the
packers coolers, they say.
Cattle Receipts Falling OF.
In addition, the experts said there
recently had been a falling off in the
receipts of cattle, and there were ru-
nors spread abroad that it will be a
long time before the receipts in
crease sufficiently to enable the pack
ers to restock their refrigerators. Thus
1t was said, the packers reached a con-
clusion that the public appetite for ten
der. thick and juicy steaks must be
curbed. The rise in prices is the ap-
petite restrainer.
Had the situation not been extreme
1t was said-had not the cool breezes
aroused the appetite of normal man tc
an abnormal pitch and given it an ex-
treme tendency in the direction of the
porterhouse and sirloin. the increase
might have been made in the ordinary
way. without the housewife getting
wise" unless she watched her accounts
closely; that is, the increase would have
been made by half-cent steps until the
necessary height was reached.
