The White Paper SHORTAGE.
From the Washington Star.

From the Washington Star.
The shortage in white print paper in this
country is becoming so serious that unless
measures now being adopted to relieve the
situation are effective an actual paper
famine may prevail during the autumn.
This difficulty is the result of many Causes
chief of which Is the enormous increase in
the consumption of print paper during the
past few years, clmaxing last winter in
q consumption that broke all records In
consequence of the high tide of advertis-
Ing throughout the U.lited States which
necessitated the printing Of heavy editions
of the daily papers.
The Star feels this shortage along with
all other newspapers, and is making ev-
cry effort to meet the situation. Econo-
mics are being practised by newspapers in
every city of this country at the insistence

Here is the Meanest Bird.

Did you ever know a man or boy
mean enough to rob a baby? Of
course, you say, no one would be
mean enough to do that. Well, there
are men who would do that, l suppose,
and / am very sure there is a bird
that will, for l have seen him do it
This feathered robber is the spar
row. Bully the sparrow Mr. Burgess,
who writes the Bedtime Stories, calls
him. The next time you find a nest
of Welcome robin with some baby
robins in it, you watch and see If
Bully does not steal from the babies,
literally take the food out Of their
mouths, as groWnups say. You know
Welcome robin and Mrs. Welcome are
tremendous workers. They are busy
long before you are up in the morn
ing. and you may see them hopping
about your yard long after all the
other birds have gone to bed. Mr.. and
Drs. Welcomes babies are always
hungry and the father and mother are
busy every moment gathering worms
for them. Bully. the sparrow, has
learned this, and he also knows that
Mr.. and Mrs. Welcome are not fight
ers. So you may often see Bully and
his friends sitting close to q robins
nest and when Mr.. and Mrs. Welcome
come home with a worm or a bug and
make ready to drop it into the open
mouth of one of the babies, Bully will
suddenly dart forward and grab tho
morsel and eat it himself.
1t Is just because he does such mean
things that we all dislike Bully so
much and wish that he would go back
fhome where he belongs.

Drs. Solomon and Frank made a
comparative study of the efficiency of
bacterial vaccines alone, pollen eX
tracts alone, and combination Of vac
clnes and pollen extracts. They found
that Cd per cent of the patients treated
with pollen extracts had milder attacks
of hay fever than was their habit, 70
per cent of those receiving bacterial
vaccines were improved as compared
with previous years. All Of the pa
tients treated by the combined method
We're improved, but since they treated
only four cases that way. they dc not

The bacterial vaccines were made
from bacteria grown from the patients

extracts sera made from pollen and
bacterial vaccines can be procured from
any manufacturing laboratory through
local druggists. They can be given by

SUPPLY OF SEALS ASSURED
Notion by United States, 1t Is Be-
lieved, Has Done Away With All
Danger of Their Extinction.

For the first time in the history Of
The United States this country is han
ding its own sealskins. condition
that should have been brought about
long ago, but was not, largely owing
to trade secrets connected with the
dressing and dyeing of the furs, which
were possessed exclusively in Eng
land.
Seal furs are used more extensively
in America than in any other country
on the globe and the United States
government has done more to prevent
seals from becoming extinct than all
the other nations put together. 1t is
due entirely to our initiative that
there is now Il growing supply of
seals from which to draw.
The total number in the Alaskan
herd is now estimated ut 100000. and
ii is believed that 100000 Will be
added this summer, after which, un-
der moderate regulation. there will
be little danger of extinction, such as
faced the fur-bearing seals only a few
years ago.

Farm Lands Increase in Value.

The value of farm lands of the Unit
cd States is estimated at $500 per
acre, as compared with $40.S5 year
ago. S4O.31 two years ago, $3.50 three
years ago and $36.23 four years ago.
Che census reported the value of
Farm lands in 1910 as $32.4O, and in
1900 as $15.57 per acre.
In recent years the value of farm
lands has been increasing at the rate
Of about per cent year, or approxi.
mately So per acre per year. The ex-
ceptional increase of the past year
may be explained partly by the reac
lion in the southern cotton states fol
lowing temporary depression last
year, and partly by the stimulus giver
by the war to prices, particularly OF
grain.
