A PULPWOOD EXHIBIT
AT THE STATE FAIR

In view Of the very high and
still Increasing prices of paper
and the growing scarcity OF the
materials from which it is made,
it has been suggested that one or
more paper manufacturing plants
be invited to come to North Car
olina where III many localities
wood suitable for pulp is still
abundant.
manufacturers, capitalists and
consumers are all interested IN
this proposition and are casting
about for a suitable location. For
this reason the proposed exhibit
Of wood suitable for paper making
at the coming State Fair at Raj
cigh. October 1921, will be likely
to attract national attention. 1t
is proposed that each county or
town, through its officers or cham
Der Of commerce. exhibit one block
Of each kind Of wood suitable for
paper making, where such cOlln-
ty has any large amount available
for this purpose.
Blocks may be round, halvcd
or chartered, , or 3 feet long,
cut from logs more than 4 inches
and less than y inches in diamet-
er. Bark should be peeled off one
end and left on the other. The
name Of the wood and the cXhib-
itor should accompany the cXhlb

freight or express prepaid to }.

The principal North Carolina
species now suitable for paper
making are poplar, hemlock, linn,
spruce. chestnut and second
growth pine Of several species.

RESOLUTIONS.

The following resolutions were
adopted at recent meeting of the Mid
dlebury Grange:
Whereas, The great and supreme
Ruler of the universe has in His infinite
wisdom removed from among US one
of our worthy and esteemed fellow
laborers, Margaret M. Peck; and,
whereas, the long and intimate relations
held with her in the faithful discharge
of her duties in this order make it emf
nently befitting that we record our APP
probation of her; therefore,
Resolve, That the sudden removal of
such life from among our midst leaves
vacancy and shadow that will be
deeply realized by all the members and
friends of this organization and will
prove a serious loss to the community
and the public;
Resolve, That with deep sympathy
with the bereaved relatives of the de-
ceased we express our hope that even
so great loss to US all may be over
ruled for good by Him who doeth all
things well;
Resolve, That copy of these resolu-
tions be spread upon the records of this
organization, a copy printed in the local
paper and copy forwarded to the be-
reaved husband.
