NEWSpR|NT CRISIS
COMES IN OCTOBER,
FACTORIES ASSERT

WASHINGTON, August 1.-THE
crisis in the newsprint paper situa-
ton, which already has cut down
newspaper profits enormously, will
not be reached till late October when
contracts come up for renewal, ac-
cording to reports received from many
sources by the Federal Trade Com
mission.
The presidential election, together
with the European war, is expected to
increase an already unparalleled de-
nand for newsprint, which manufac-
turers tell the trade commission they
will hardly be able to meet. This
year for the first time they have not
been able to lay up large reserve
during the summer.
The trade commissions report on
its investigation Of newsprint prices,
it was announced today, will be pub
lished not later than October I, re-
CARELESS of whether Congress still is
in session. Probably a brief extract
will be given out two weeks before
hand summarizing the findings. AS
yet the mass of material has not been
digested for officials to in
dictate definitely its trend.
The great question in deciding
there has been collision
among the manufacturers to boost
prices undllly is said to be whether the
increased demand for paper has been
entirely disprOportionate to the in
creased production. Manufacturers
claim that publishers are using 20
per cent more paper than ever before.
Consumption figures presented to the
however. vary widely.
g. F. Steele, secretary of the News
print Manufacturers Association, has
estimated that figures for June show
the largest daily production of news
print ever recorded" Shipments, he
declared, represented SO per cent. of
his production.

MERCHANTS JOIN. WAR
AGAINST MAIL ORDER
SHOWS AT STATE FAIR

Local members of the Indiana Re-
tail Dry Goods association, Lee Nus
baum, Ed Hasemeier and George II.
knollenberg, have received circular
letters which indicate that determin.
ed opposition of retail merchants OF
Indiana is to be put against the grant
ing of request of some Of the big
alien mail order houses for privilege
of making display of their goods at
the Indiana state fair. The circular
goes on to state:
at is hardly necessary to call your
attention to the fact that with such
privilege the out-of-state mail order
concerns will have tremendous adj
vertising advantage over the state re-
tail merchants.
Reap Many Millions.
"Conservatively estimated, from sew
enteen to twenty million dollars are
spent annually by Indiana customers
of out-ofstate mail order houses, not
dollar of which comes back into In
diana; hundreds of millions of dollars
are invested in retail stocks of mer-
chandise in Indiana. The retail mer-
chants of the state are second in the
payment of taxes. Hundreds of thous-
ands of families derive their livelihood
from the retailers of Indiana
The letter goes on to ask the local
members to give their support to pre-
vent mail order houses being granted
privileges. 1t says that since the state
fair is an Indiana institution, support
ed by the state, it does not seem fair
to let competitors of state business
houses advertise their wares at it.

Clean Wafer
For Hogs

Hogs should nave access to

that are so common over TIE

Outraged TO construct wooden
or concrete wallows for their
pigs, and to keep them in rea-
sonably clean condition. The
cut shows a boarded-np wal
low made by pigclub boy.
II is very satisfactory; but a
better way is to dig a shallow
hole, big enough for the pigs
to lie i'll, and to use concrete
for the sides and bottom, plas
tering right unto the earth. Ii
is a good plan, also, to put III
a drain so that the water may
be readily changed.
In addition to making the
hogs more comfortable these
wallows can be used as a means
of Kidding them of lice and
fleas. To do this. cover the
surface of the water with about
half an inch of crude oil.
When the pigs go into the
water they will become cover
