OLD PAPER FOR COUNTRY.
Alarming scarcity of RAW Material
Makes Waste Product Valuable.

A campaign to stimulate the conserva-
ton of old rags and papers has been
started by the leading paper manufac-
turing firms throughout the country as
ii result of the alarming scarcity of
raw material used for the manufacture
of paper. says the Brooklyn Eagle.
The continued scarcity Of raw materials
is largely the result of the stopping of
foreign shipments and the consumption
Of the domestic supply by the powder
and muniiion makers. This has brought
about conditions which require revert
ing to the custom of the early days OF
the paper industry, namely. the collec-
ton of rags and old papers from private
homes
The federal government is cooper
ating with the paper manufacturers.
ana has issued n circular calling the
attention of the public to the fact of
the scarcity of paper and raw prod
ucts and requesting aid in the matter
| of conserving as far as possible the
waste of paper and the raw materials.
| 1t is estimated that between 80 and co
! per cent. of the cotton rags and waste
/ textiles in this country never reach the
! paper mills, The need of utilizing this
waste material becomes apparent, when

THE ELIZABETH THEATRE.

Shakespeare devised his plays for a
theater very different from our own
The Fortune Theater in London, for
instance. built in 1900 consisted OF a
courtyard at one end of which, and
extending well toward the middle, was
built large platform on which the
plays We're presented. In the windows
overlooking this courtyard sat the
privileged spectators, while the less
fortunate, common people or ground
lings," as they We're called-contented
themselves with standing about the
shoulder high platform and viewing the
performance much as we still do to-day
the side shows of the travelling circus.
Plays always took place in the dav-
time. There was no scenery other than
that afforded by the more or less
artistically arranged end of the court
yard across the central portion OF
which an arras was sometimes fastened
Chairs. tables, and few other simple
properties were used toward the hack of

SPINS AND ENITS At II

Mrs. Willard Il. Bingham of South
Newfane, although ~ years of age,
Keeps house for her son and spins and
knits. She also takes care of her
hens and chickens and occasionally
walks to the home of her youngest son
a mile away. In addition to her regu-
lar housekeeping duties, Mrs Bingham
each year spins and knits up about 20
pounds of wool rolls, which means 20
to 30 pounds of wool in the fleece. Her
sons have the only carding mill in that
part of the county. Mrs Bingham oc-
casionally spins small amount of
yarn to accommodate some ncighbor
or friend, and at various times visitors
have come long distances to see how
spinning is done.
