SOLUTION TO NEWSPRINT
SITUATION.

That the large publishers should refuse
the plan proposed at the Federal Trade
Commission, in Washington, to assign i've
per cent of their supply of newsprint to be
divided among the smaller publishers, is
not to be wondered at. If they had sur
plus. it would be different proposition; as
II is. the tonnage covered by their old con-
tracts is hardly adequate to their own
needs.
Yet something must be done, and that
shortly; for the publishers whose contracts
are expiring are forced to pay six and
seven cents for paper, which last year sold
for two cents or less. To all it means ire
mendous loss; to many, bankruptcy. Pub
licity is a national necessity.
Increased demand sfrom both domestic
and foreign sources there has undoubtedly
been; and the mills have also been putting
more machines on the other grades of
paper, such as kraft and manila, for which
an astonishing trade has developed at
greatly augmented prices; but as was
brought out by the Federal Trade Com
mission, the cost of manufacturing news
print during the first half of this year was
no higher than in 1915; selling expenses
were lower this year; and both production
and imports of newsprint increased, so
that after deducting exports, the amount
available for domestic distribution was
actually seventeen per cent greater!
There is no doubt whatever that the
mills have an understanding and are ma
nipulating the market Instead of trying
to replenish stocks, greatly depleted in the
early months of the war before the manu-
featuring adjustment was made, they are
making only enough to take care of their
contracts, plus a certain percentage to
supply publishers, at exorbitant prices
driven to the open market by expiring
contracts. The papermakers' profits in
that time has increased seventy per cent. {
What the government should do is poo
all the newsprint and apportion it to all the
publishers, on a circulation basis. The
government has the circulation figures o.
every publication in the country, and while
false. returns have possibly been made il
certain instances, the government has the
means of ascertaining the truth. Publ,
welfare that demands federal regulation o
railroad rates, also requires protection il
this case.

THE FARM DAIRY
BUTTER MAKING.
BY c. X. Mecuarris-

Some butter should be made on ev-
cry farm This is part OF the farm
work that is usually assigned to the
good wife and mother. and there are
few women to whom the making Of
butter does not appeal. AS good but
ter can be made in small quantities
on the small farm as can be made in
the best creamery in the land.
To make well Favored and good tex
tured butter some caution must be
exercised in handling the cream. The
location of the milk house should be
where no objectionable odors prevail.
Cream will absorb odors quickly and
to have 1t in a place secure from doors
is the first step toward high grade
butter. Acidity and temperature are
the main controlling factors In de-
termining the texture Of butter.
Cream, II allowed to get too ripe, be-
comes very avid. The acid acts on
the casein in the milk, causing small
white specks IN the butter. To avoid
this as far as possible cream should be
maintained at a cool temperature un-
I'll ten hours before churning. Every
batch of cream should be kept by
itself until ten or twelve hours before
churning time, then all patches mixed
and stirred at short intervals until
churning time. This win sinsure uni
formity in the acid condition of the
cream and If the temperature Of 81 to
ss degrees is obtained at churnins
time. butter should be had after about
fifteen minutes of churning.

THAT MISSISSIPPI HAzING.

Too much can not be said in condem-
nation of the hazing atrocity at the Uni
versity of Mississippi in which one fresh
man was so badly injured that it was. nee
essary to send him to hospital.
When boys in their teens commit acts of
torture which are commonly associated
with villains of the movies, in the name of
fun, it is time that the law stepped in to
fill the breach left by decency.
Expulsion of every student involved in
the Mississippi outrage is being considered
and If no greater penalty is imposed. the
young rufians may we'll thank their stars.
Hazing is an outrage which we q ought
the death of Obenchain at Purdue. the
death of Wells at Princeton, and the scan
dial at Annapolis last year had entirely
eradicated from America; but there are oc-
casional local outbursts that suggest an
unwholesome comparison of the entire
country with Mexico.
Let us hope Florida will always escape

WORLD PROBLEMS, PAST AND
PRESENT.

Because battle lines are longer, weapons
better, ard the costs larger than ever be-
fore, we are apt to think that the world is
now facing the greatest crisis IN its his
tory But it is doing nothing of the sort.
1t was an infinitely bigger situation, to
give only one example, when Alexander
sighed for new worlds to conquer. His
army was barely a corporaps guard, com
pared with the forces of today, and the ter
ritory he subJugated wouldn't be noticed
on modern war map; but it was all the
known civilized world. Triumph of either
Germany or the Allies wouldn't mean any
thing like this.
German success in France would not
have approached the miracle of Rome's
conquering Britain. The Marine, the
Somme, and Verdun bulk greater than
Cannae, Hastings, and Lexington, but
what a difference in their results And
how Insignificant the North Sea engage
ment compared with the battle between
wooden SHIPS of England and Philips Ar
mazda!
The vein is too big for us to work single
handed, so we will admit the reader to a
partnership. We stumbled on it when we
read the following passage in a letter from
Chancellor Kent to his brother Moss Kent,
on March 81, 1914:
THE astonishing France excite all my
attention think Of them / and
of them when lie m
make peace without prostrating the dynasty of the
Scourge and Nuisance of Europe I shall not be sat
shed until Napoleon is dead and buried, al
immured for life in the castle of schluesselburg'
Napoleon, had he conquered, would
have been poor second to Alexander; and
he came much nearer to realizing his am
bition than his successor, a century later,
with more money, greater armies, and finer
artillery Reparation for the. past and
guarantees for the future were more a
problem century ago than they are today.
Will the analogy be carried out still fur
ther in the making of peace?

NATIONAL PROHIBITION.

Ultimate adoption of national prohibi-
ton is inevitable.
The swing of popular opinion, reflected
in the recent elections, has been further
emphasized in congress, where the Tudici-
airy Committee, surprising even the most
enthusiastic supporters of the measure
with their CELEBRITY, voted to recommend
the constitutional amendment forbidding
the manufacture and sale of liquor for bev-
erage purposes in the United States.
That the measure will reach the senate
before adjournment, is, however, very
doubtful; and it is to the sixty-ffth con-
gress that we must look for final action
Receiving a two-thirds majority in Wash
ington, the amendment will then be sub
mitted to the state legislatures, by three
fourths of what it must be accepted before
it becomes part of the basic law
Prohibition in the meantime is before
the senate in the form of a bill forbiddine
the sale and manufacture of liquor in the
District of Columbia, and an effort will
also be made to prohibit the use of the
mails for liquor advertising.
Is national prohibition to be established
during Wilson's administration?

THE SCRATCH PAD
BY THOMAS EWING DARNEY.


Before marriage a man takes off
his hat to a lady; after. he takes off
a sock and asks her to darn it.

NO, Imogen. there is really nothing
dangerous about an electric railway

AS Kaiser Bill has at last consented
to wear the Iron Cross, the time is not

the other member of the Iirm.
Doubtless the reason why the peace
proposals are being received with
such a skepticism is that they have
not received the endorsement of the
Honorable Hank Ford.
Speaking about the waste for which
the American people are famous. we
stand appalled, every time we think
of the tons and tons of holes in Swiss
cheese that are annually lost.

rEMPERATuRE.

To know the exact temperature Of
the cream a dairy thermometer should
be used. One should never guess. The
quality of butter is controlled largely
by the time occupied in churnins. A
high grade product should result In
fifteen to twenty minutes at the long
est. If It taxes an hour or more you
are apt to get lower grade Of butter
than in a shorter period.

HUGO MUNSTERBERG.

Stricken while he was delivering lee
ture Saturday, the death Of Hugh Nuns
terberg, professor of psychology at Harv-
ard, author, and world-thinker, adds an
other illustrious name to list of notable
takings-o already sufficiently large for
one year.
To everything that Professor Munster
berg said, we do not subscribe; but of one
thing there can be no doubt: that in inter
preting the German war-motives, he told
the truth as it was given to him to see it.
Would that the Teutonic conduct had been
as ideaEstic as he would have us believe
But looking to better things, one of the
last visions of Munsterberg had to do with
peace, and his posthumous message, print
ed in New York weekly magazine, is
worth remembering:
After the remain: those who hated

 Keep this perfect stomach doctor in your home-zeep it handy-get large fifty cent case from any drug store and then if anyone should eat something which doesn't agree with them; if what they eat lays like lead, ferments and sours and forms gas; causes head ache, dizziness and nausea; eructa- tions of acid and undigested food remember as soon as Pape's Diapepsin comes in contact with the stomach all such distress vanishes. Its promptness certainty and ease in overcoming the worst stomach disorders is a revela- ton to those who try it.
