touch us. whose every existence
affords us opportunities of friend
ship and disinterested service which
should make us ashamed Of any
thought of hostility or fearful
preparation for trouble. This is
assuredly the opportunity for which
people and a government like ours
were raised up, the opportunity not
only to speak but actually to embody
and exemplify the counsels of peace
and amity and the lasting concord
which is based on justice and fair
and generous dealing.
Let there be no misconception.
The country has been misinformed
We have not been negligent of
national defense. We are not un-
mindful of the great responsibility
that rests upon u.s.

Paper Prices Soaring.

The users of paper probably have
no conception of the wonderful
advance in prices of material enter
ing into the manufacture of the
paper we use.
Quotations just received say that
unbleached sulphine pulp has adj
vanced from 1870 cents co 3 u cents
per pound; bleached sulphite from
2.40 to cents; bleaching podwers
from IN cents to 20 cents per
pound; blue coloring from % cents
to $500 per pound; red from 28
cents to SIS per pound; coal from So
to Sc per ton ana Irvine is just
double in price.
1t will be seen from these prices
that all kinds of papers have risen
by leaps and bounds and the end is
not yet in sight. Many of our, sub
scribers have responded to our call
sent out the first of the year and
some have not. We. would appreci-
ate an early remittance.

saving of strength and health of the
farm women.

value of pedigreed stock in COM
parison with grade stock and gave
instances from his own experience
