WISCONSIN ..
PAPER MILLS TO
USE new WOODS

Washington. Oct. las the result of
studies which have been made at the
Forest Products Laboratory on methods
of handling wood ships suitable for paper
pulp, it is announced that Wisconsin
paper companies are now negotiating
with the railroads for shipment to their
factories of experimental train loads of
chips of western woods adapted to paper
making.
Previous investigations by the Forest
Service have demonstrated that good
grades of paper can be made from a
number of western woods. The experts
now estimate that some of these woods,
when cut into chips and dried and baled.
can be delivered to the mills in Wiscon-
sin at a very small advance over the cost
Of chips made from local timber. If a
favorable freight rate can be obtained,
they say, the great quantity of pulpwood
on the national forests should prove to
be a considerable factor in supplying fav-
orably located paper mills with the nee
essary nav material. In Wisconsin alone,
it is stated, there is an annual market for
over 300, 000 cords of pulpwood.

Just too cunning for anything" as one
woman expressed it. The little folks
one and all took their different parts
in a most creditable manner, and de-
serve much praise for the success of
the entertainment. The many guests
and relatives OF the bride and groom
were ushered in turn to seats upon the
platform and as they made their ap-
pearance in the aisle of the church
were announced as representing we'll
known local people, which created a
great deal of amusement among the
audience. Fred Beane as the minister
took this difficult role in a remarkably
clever manner and united the bride
and, groom in marriage to the satisfac.

rendered i'm a. pleasing manner by the
children: After the little guests had
congratulated the bride and BRIDE
groom, ice cream was served. which
proved pleasing feature to the little
folks. Altogether the entertainment
was a great success, being as pleasing
as it was novel, and IT was the source
of much pleasure to all who were pres
ent. Too much praise cannot be given
to Miss Dora Barnard of Oklahoma,
under whose skillful direction the chill
dren were coached in their respective
parts and to her ability to successfully
stage such pleasing juvenile produc-
ton great credit is due.
