URGES SAVING OF RAGS, PAPER.

URGES SAVING OF RAGS, PAPER.
The savings of rags, old papers and
magazines would help United States
paper manufacturers, whose supply of
material has been curtailed seriously
as result Of the European war, ac-
cording to announcement by the De-
partment Of Commerce at Washing
ton, d. G.
Officers of large st. Louis concerns
which handle paper or its products
said recently that in most American
homes old paper and rags are regard
ed as refuse and that enormous guam
titles are destroyed annually.
In this country the market for rags
facturers, who use the rags instead Of
cotton, the latter being much more
expensive.
In consequence, within the last two
months mills which turn out writing
paper, wrapping paper and book
stock have advanced their prices 30
per cent or more. About the same in
crease has been made in newspaper
stock, although the larger proportion
of wood pulp employed in the latter
renders it more independent Of linen.
"There is an increased demand for
paper, amounting to Is to rs per
cent said S. L. Wilson, vice presi-
dent Of the Graham Paper Company.
sAt the same time the supply Of ma
terials for making paper has become
smaller, and there is no relief in
sight"
Old paper stock, formerly worth 81
to So per ton lis now selling at $12 to
$15 per ton, for use by the paper
manufacturing mills. The rags used
to sell at $1.75 per hundred pounds and
are now worth as high as 5 cents per
pound, or $5 per hundred pounds.

FRENCH EXPENSES s7,4OO,OOo
Cost Of War is Increasing Steadily
Daily Outlay of s17,4OO,OOO

Paris, March 15.--The credits re-
quired for the second quarter of 1916
amounted to $780, 100000, according
to the statement prepared by Raoul
Peret, reporter Of the Budget Com
mittee Of the Chamber Of Deputies,
and presented yesterday in the cham
Der. This is equivalent to a daily ex-
penditure Of $17,4O0.0OO. The figures
showed that the cost Of carrying on
the war is steadily increasing, as the
total expenditure for the year 1916
amounted to s4OO,OOO,OOO, where as
that of the first six months of 1916
amounts to $s,14O,OOO,0OO.
The total national expenditure from
the beginning of August, 1914 to the
end Of June, 1916, will be nearly $9,-
400,000,000, of which $7,400,OOO,0OO
are purely for military purposes.

We are in hearty accord with the

along this line, which closes as fol.
lows:
THE shaping Of platform, how
ever, is an important matter. Here il
would seem Of great importance that
Missouri contribute the aid Of two
Missourians without whose efforts the
program Of legislation which stands Ia
the credit Of the last Congress could
never have been realized. It is super
fiuous-to add that these two men are
the Speaker Of the House of Represen-
tatives and the Chairman Of the For
eign Relations Committee of the Sem
ate.
"As for the other two, it would seem
well to select them outside the ranks
of officeholders, State or Federal, and
candidates for office. The wide dis
tribution Of such party honors as are
simply badges Of distinction and incen-
tives to party effort is good Democ-
ratio practice"
