L. =. Tries to Make News Print Paper

=. ~ iEitS to utht news frint tuper
Uncle Sam is trying to make news
papers.
That statement is literally true. for
he really is trying-not to print them.
mind you-but TO make them. To be
more explicit, he is trying to devise
a way TO make the paper for them. a
bulletin is TO be issued within few
months stating the results OF exten-
sive tests. extending over three years.
and including forty different kinds of
wood. looking TO the manufacture from
new source OF paper that will do on
which to print newspapers.
Now Uncle Sans chief ambition is
to issue not a "red paper" a blue
paper" or any other colored SCRAP
OF paper"-but bona fide white paper.
The rub with all the paper made so
far is that il is not white. but gray.
Now. this gray paper, made from the
western hemlocks, lodgepole pine, red
fir, and other substitutes for the
spruce ground wood as now used. is
durable and excellent paper I'm every
way. The trouble is in its color. And
there Uncle Sam confronts the first
problem of the newspaper publisher
circulation. He ran amuck OF the
much discussed psychology of the
newspaper reader"
For newspaper editors told him that
gray papers never would do for print
ing newspapers because newspaper
readers will not buy papers printed on
anything else but pristine and simon
pure white paper The more snow
like the paper the greater the rejoic-
ing of the circulation manager.
The government experts did not go
about their work i'm an academic sort
of way. When they evolved paper
which they believed would stand the
test of the great presses of the mod
ern newspaper they tried IL on the
dog" meaning they had New York
and st. Louis publishers print regu-
lar editions OF their papers on the gov
ernment production. In every respect
the substitutes met the test until they
reached the eye OF the circulation
manager. Then came the objection to
the color.
The experiments, IL successful. will
be of greatest benefit, it is stated, I'm
the middle west, in Chicago. st. Louis.
st. Paul. Minneapolis and Milwaukee.
Those cities. it is expected, soon will
feel the pinch of greatly increased
cost OF print paper. Timber men state
that already the end of the spruce for
ests in those great staes is in sight.
Therefore, the need of a substitute
for the spruce ground wood.
Among the most acceptable substi-
tutes discovered so far as the western
hemlock, lodgepole pine and red fir,
mentioned above. and Sitka spruce.
California pine. white spruce with
Balsam fir, Alpine fir, Englemann
spruce, Amabillis fir and Noble fir.
The experiments were conducted by
Sidney ID. Wells. for the most part.
working i'm the forest products labor
atory at Madison. Wis
Eastern papers need not worry.
They are not likely to be pinches for
years to come. The great bulk of the
spruce in the eastern paper mills
comes from the Maine forests. and
these forests reproduce themselves at
rapid rate because the cones roll
about for considerable distance.

Advertise

The foolish ostrlck who thinks that
! II is safe from the pursucr II it hides
ts head In the sand is very much
like the business man who thinks he
can save money by cutting down al
vcrtising.
Ever since people I'm this country
commenced TO worry about the war
and neglect their own business. as a
great many business mon have done.
there has been general disposition
on the part OF merchants. manufac-
turcrs and others TO curtail their cx-
pcnditures for advertising In all forms
but especially for newspaper space.
Tho cut In advertising was made by
many concerns even before business
fell on, ms n precautionary measure.
In some Instances advertising was
curtailed to minimum just To get
ready for oventualities. without any
good reason. like making an effort TO
cross II bridge before you reach Il.
There Is nothing more foolish that
IA merchant. who has goods TO sell TO
the public, can do at any time, than
to stop advertising. IL Is quito GER
tain that IL business is bad To stop
advertising will make IL worse. Ev-
cry dollar spent wisely I'm newspaper
displays brings far more than a dol
lar over the counter or the rough box
Office window.
Ii is more important to advertise
now than IL ever was before. because
there are gorat many people I'm tho
United States who never have had as
much money before, but who are roll
ing In wealth now as u result OF the
war. agents. contractors, dealers I'm
war supplies. and workmen I'm the
big munition plants. If you want
these people to spend their new money
with you you must advertise TO make
them do so.
This applies equally to theatrical
advertising. People who have never
patronized n two-dollar theater before
in their lives are coming down TO
Broadway wondering what show they
VIII 30 10 see and you may be sure
they will 30 TO the show OF which
they have heard the most through the
medium of the newspapers. merely out
OF curiosity, or to be able TO say they
have seen that show which is so much
talked about
There was n balance of trade I'm
favor of the United States against
foreign countries OF $4,000, 900 last
week. and that means prosperity with
new money in circulation

WHAT'S to become OF our three
square meals a day? A little while
ago II was the president emeritus OF
Harvard University who declared that
we eat too much Now it's q manu-
iacturer-philanthropist, Henry Ford OF
Detroit. And after him the surgeon
general OF the navy who approves the
FORD theory. A hercsy trial is I'm or
der.
AFTER all, maybe there's something
good in heresy. The rich eat too
much, we are told. The door cat foo
little. Here is clear case where the
rich would lose nothing by giving TO
the poor. They'd lose only gout and
dyspepsia and similar things that
hardly add TO the pleasures OF wealth.
The whole subject, however. is puz-
zli,g For instance, we are told that
eating too much leads to drink -alco-
holic drink. Yet for a long time we
nave heard that too little 90 eat IS the
great cause OF intemperance- -alco-
hOlic
Again, for instance, Henry Ford
works best on an empty stomach. An
army it is said, marches on its stom-
ach but if Iossiblo, not on an empty
one Now what's for the good Of the
industrial army?
Doubtless the overeating evil is
principally a matter OF how much and
net how often. SO there are hopes
that the right to three square meals

cases. established Philadelphia Led

woman look to see where she can
save money, which, Of course, is
sensible and proper if not car
ried too far.
In the case Of food it would be-
foolish to attempt to substitute
saWdust for breakfast food
because it is cheaper. Everyone
knows sawdust has no food value
and its use would be a positive
detriment to the health.
