other words, this commodity so essential
to the smoker and the housewife. has
increased anywhere from about 4 per
cent. to 200 per cent in cost, according
to the brand.
This enormous advance is attributed to
the practice of the British Government
which. they say, orders most of the neu-
trail ships, principally Swedish and Nor
wegian, to put into Kirkwall for cargo
inspection. IA addition to this. they
usually take half Of the shipment and

The boys could tell they were ap.

and rumble of the presses. The little
party entered the door
Here were rows of giant presses,
all wheels and rollers and streaming
sheets of paper On truck men we're
bringing great rolls of white paper
fresh from the woodland mills. Their
guide, pointed out the various points
of interest: Here the fresh rolls of
paper. here the plates still hot from
the foundry, here the printed sheets

blotting paper-laid between to pre-
vent them from smudging.

shouted above the noise of the ma

these presses print as many as four
colors at one impression. The paper

when YOU look at these great
presses grinding away day and night
and watch the great rolls of paper

I've lost the way of Il, somehow
The way OF yesterday.
And all the world seems crooked now
When the kids are away;

With the streams to wade and trees

But home has grown so still
II is so still in every ROOM

And nights the stiffness weighs on

And 7 am filled with care

gloom.
Outside the far stars blink
Oh just TO hear across the gloom,

How gladly I would rise and 80
And get the drink. and be
Glad 20 be reused from slumber so.
When she Rugged up TO me-
I love to hear the songs Of spring,
! love The nights OF June
When the wild bird is on the wing,
And all the worlds in tune;
But I love better far the fall.
Whe? the north winds do blow:
For then their laughs are in the hall
And then they love me so.
