Independent Candidates.

The Chronicle this week prints
an article, Judge Dubisson's Di.

The case of Judge Dubuison
fits the cases of a great many in
dependent candidates for parish
and ward Offices in Grant parish,
as well as in other parishes of
the State. 1t appears that while
there is no law to punish a man

We are informed that some
parties who participated in the
late primary elections in this par

of becoming candidates in the

Colfax Made . Regular M. e. Station.
At the meeting of the board of stew
ards of the Colfax M. E. Church South,
held at 2:S0 p. m. on Sunday. March IL,
the board voted unanimously to make
the Colfax assessment for the support
of the ministry for 1916 the sum of
J $S25.00. This was done with the view
of making Colfax a station with regu-
lar Methodist services every Sabbath
in the month, with stationed preacher
in our midst at all times for week day
services, visitation and the general
work of the church.
This desirable end was made possible
by the members of the church agree
ing to liberal increase in their assess
ments, and by the generous assistance
of friends and well wishers, who re-
sponded promptly and willingly in aid
of this worthy object.
Since the assessment was made Rev.
H. w. May, presiding elder of the AL
exandria district, has approved and en-
dorsed the proposition, the Colfax sta
ton being thus created and taking eff
feet Immediately with his official sane
ton.
Acting under this sanction Rey. H.
B. Perritt, preacher in charge of Col
fax station, entered at once upon his
duties, and he requests the Chronicle
to announce that he will fill the pulpit
of the Colfax M. E. Church South, at
IL a. m. and at z p. m. on Sunday,
March 10. and on every Sabbath there
after, Divine providence permitting.

NEWSPAPER PRINTED

DR.. Jasperson, of Neenah, Wis,
Invents Process for Bleaching
Used Material and Max
ing 1t New"
TESTS MADE IN MICHIGAN

DIR. Thomas Jasperson, physician OF
Neenah, wis, has Invented a process for
converting old newspapers into pure white
stoot that can be used again for news
pnper printing. Doctor Jasperson's dis
covery has been tested successfully. 1t is
said and a mill is being constructed in
Chicago where old newspapers will be con-
verted into new stock
The test was made in a mill at Kalamazoo,
Mich. and the finished product was used
for several issues Of Neenah newspaper
The stock that results from the process
Is even winter than the original paper, It
ia said.
Dootor Jasperson who has been a prac-
ticinn physician and chemist here for
twenty years has been working on his
process for four years. Six months ago
he completed his labors and offered his
idea to some of the Neenah paper mill
owners.
Having faith in his invention, Doctor
Jnsperson appealed TO a local newspaper
publisher, with the result that contract
was signed with q Kalamazoo mill Through
Doctor Jasperson's chemical process and
later through the paper-making machines,
several rolls OF paper were made from OLD
newspapers and sent to Neenah, where they
were used.
Doctor Jasperson, since the test, has been
flooded with inquiries from all parts OF the
country. He has obtained a patent on his
process, and there are some Neenah paper
men who are regretting turning down the
physicians offer.
In the process old newspapers are put
into n beater or mixing machine and the
chemical IL added. BY this the ink Is ex.
tracted and the paper pulp is bleached
pure white. The mass Is washed several
times before 1t Is run through the rolls or
cylinders, from which II comes, dried by
heat, In fine white sheet and Is rolled on
n spool for use.
No changes in plant equipment are neces-
sary, the regular machinery being used.
