was used in Oklahoma CITY, and have
never been relaid.

SAVE OLD PAPER is
UNCLE SANS PLEA.
Shortage of Raw Materials
For Factories Is Told In
Circulars to Housewives.

"While householders of tbi
and ether cities are burning NJ
their daily acCumulatioDs of ole
papers and rags, the paper manu-
facturers of the United States are
being forced to turn down orders
for lack of these very raw mate
rials," said Commercial Agent T.
II. Judd, of the Bureau Of For
eign and Domestic Commerce to
day.
"Not only has the European
war forced up the p ces of chem
lcals and dyestuffs used by the
paper trade, but j, has cut us
off from our customary sources OF
supply of large gu otities of pa
per stock. The United States
in normal years imports from two
hundred to two hundred and fifty
million pounds of rags, some Goo.
600 tons of wood pulp, and be
tween $1,000, 600 and $4,000, 900
worth of other paper stock, in.
Guiding old paper, grasses, waste
tibers, etc,
"With the exception of wood
pulp, the European countries not
at war supply practically all of
our imports of such paper stock,
| while more than third of our
wood pulp imports come from
Germany, Norway and Sweden.
During 1915 our imports of rags
dropped TO some $4,000, 1000
pounds, our wood pulp purchases
fell from Cos 1873 tons, to Gil ,4S1
tons, and our imports of other pa
per materials dropped to So, 767,-
600, in spite of an increased price
per pound.
"Local paper dealers say there
has been an increasc~in the prices
of all grades of paper from 80 to
40 per cent within the past few
months, and that even at these
increased prices the mills are
swamped with orders. Some
grades are practically unobtains

"Recognizlng the need for con.
servation of our domestic stock of
paper materials, and the excellent
opportunity afforded by the pres
ent situation to bring home to
the people of this country the ex
tent of the present waste, Secre
tary of Commerce William 9.
Redfield, has begun a nation wide
campaign to induce the saving of
