PAPER MARKET is
BOOSTED BY WAR
Remarkable Advance In Prices of
Stock Caused by Inability to Get
Raw Materials.
CANNOT SUPPLY SOME SHADES
Henry Kramer Shows That Aniline
Imported Ingredient. Jumps from
40 Cents a Pound to $50.

Few industries in the United States |
have been harder hit by the great |
European war than the paper bust
ness. Remarkable advances in the
price of stock have been made and in
dications are that further increases in |
the market will come.
Prices on all white paper have ad-
vanced at least so per cent and on
colored paper, from so to 70 per cent, |
while 1t is impossible to get some
shades at all.
In all my experience in the print
ing business, have never known such
conditions as now exist In the paper
market declared Henry Kramer,
president Of the Kramer Printing and
Publishing company, today. 81 have
been handling paper and inks for the
past 20 years and l have never seen
such a situation in the printing trade
as has resulted from the war abroad.
Reasons for Advance.
The United States is supplying the
whole world with paper at the pres
ent time, foreign countries being eager
buyers of our product. This has
helped to boost prices. Then large
consumers of paper in this country,
realizing the fact that an advance was
bound to come under the existing
conditions. placed orders for a years
supply, swapping the mills with bust
ness and causing a shortage to the
general trade of many grades Of pa
per stock.
although these two things figure in
the big advance, the greatest factor,
perhaps, is inability to procure raw
materials, which come from foreign
markets. Among the more important
articles used in the manufacture Of
paper are alum, aniline, casein, satin
white dry, soda ash, bleached sulphate,
rOsin, lumber, wooden and cotton felts.
Comparison of Prices.
"A comparison of the prices asked
in 1914 and present quotations might
be interesting:
1914 1916
Alum, per pound ..... OF .04
Aniline, per pound -. 40 $4,000
Casein, per pound go. .0612 90
Satin white dry, per h.. .05 90
Soda ash, per lb, ... IS 1.03
Bleached sulphite, per
lb. ................. 265 400
PoSiD nor harreI 275 IN
One mill which uses 100000 feet
of lumber annually, paid $13 thou
sand feet in 1914 and $3.50 a thou
sand feet in 1916. These figures will
show why printing prices have ad-
vanCed, since the printer is at the
mercy Of the paper jobber and the job
Der Of the mills
With the market in its present con-
dition, it is almost impossible for a
printer TO quote prices single day in
advance, because of the steadily in
creasing figures. | predict there will
be no decrease in the paper market
| for at least the next six months and
do not believe the prices will ever
again be as low as they were before

LOOKING FOR WORK

Everywhere men complain about
work; even boys and girls in school or
business find work tedious and irk-
some, but it isn't the work half so much
as their own lack of physical strength
that makes it hard.
Rich blood, strong lungs and health
full digestion make work pleasurable
in business, IN school or even house
work, and if those who are easily tired
who are not sick, but weak and ner-
vous-would just take SCOTS Emul-
sion for one month and let its pure
concentrated food create richer blood
to pulsate through every artery and

tissue and give you vigorous strength
You would find work easy and would
look for more. Insist on SCOTS.

GUARDIAN GOES FISHING,
CHILD RETURNS TO PARENT

From fishing in Hawaiian waters to

far q cry that people in the morning
session Of the juvenile court the other
day were startled to hear Judge Whit
ney exclaim, IF you didn't catch any
more fish than you did the time I was
with you, / guess 1t wouldn't make
much difference, anyway"
A middle-aged Hawaiian man>a the
object of the courts remarks. deelar-
ed that he failed to remember ever
having fished in company with the
justice.
Il don't blame you for that, either" .
was the reply. Il shouldn't want to
remember II IL / were you"
These and other remarks gave the
impression that it must have been
pretty poor fishing on the day in
question. -
The Incident arose In a hearing
over the ownership of a little Hawai-
ian girl. The fisherman, having taken
the child to raise, had afterward turn
ed her over to the care of another on
the grounds that he had to go fish
ing"
At the conclusion Of the hearing
the court decided to give the little
girl back to her father and mother,
who were applying for her, no adop-
ton papers ever having been secured
by the fisherman. ri

THE NEW CAR 1916-SOME
 FEATURES OF THE NEW MODEL

Filled to the brim with bright pros poets is this new "1916 model" which has just been ushered in.
 Every year we are inclined to look upon the new year as one holding the brightest prospects. Every thing looks better; prosperity looms up and life seems worth the living but quite often things don't pan out as expected and we say "What a promising young ster he was" But 1916 is not going to die so quickly. Even the calendar is an indicator of the good times coming. Have you noticed there's to be only one Friday the 13th?" And that's way off in October. Plenty of time to prepare for that day.
 Then there are 53 Saturdays-pay days for many--and 53 Sundays rest days for all.
 Then too there is Leap Year!! Per haps that is one reason for the pre- diction that 1916 is to be one of un- usual activity for women. Another prominent item is the fact coming from scientifec circles that the fly will be out earlier this year than ever before. The "swat movement" will soon be on. "On with the swat" But one compensation for this is the fact that this year brings us a maze of new fashions that will keep us busy for the 366 days. The spirit of op- timism must prevail.

Laughter Worth a Hundred Groans

 "A laugh is worth hundred groans in any market" Laughter is un- doubtedly one of natures greatest tonics. It brings the disordered facul- ties into harmony, it lubricates the mental bearings and prevents the friction which monotonous, exacting business engenders.
 It is a devine gift bestowed upon us as life preserver, health promoter and joy-generator, success maker, writes George Butler, M. D.
 Every draught of laughter eases you over the jolts and hard places on life's highway.
 It tends to bring every abnormal condition back to normal. It is a penacea for heart aches and for life's bruises. It is life prolonger.
 Learn to laugh and laugh aloud.
