After we had camp established we
received orders to report to the cor
all and draw horses. We drew 1913
half broken chunks of deviltry. The
sergeant tod us they could all be

If War Continues Country Will Ex-

A forecast of a still greater increase
in the price of news print paper and
fine papers is made in a circular let
ter received from a big eastern paper
manufacturer by Crane and Company.
A slump may be noted in the price of
book papers. but it is the general be-
lief that even prices on book paper
will remain uniform.
There is a possibility that during
the dull summer months there will be
a uniform price, but in the fall there
is strong probability of higher
prices. In fact, the paper company
