PRINT PAPER SUPPLY
Bill by Representative Campbell

Shipments Abroad.

A bill purposed to conserve the sup
ply of print paper of the United States
and to protect the publishers of news
papers from extortionate prices by
temporarily prohibiting the exporta-
tion of print paper was introduced in
the House yesterday by Representative
Campbell of Kansas.
The bill. which stipulates that its
provisions are to cover a period of two
years from the time when it becomes
effective. would place an embargo upon
the expectation of news print paper.
Provision is made against expectation
by such difficult expedients as the use
Of airships.
Exceedingly heavy penalties are ad-
vocated for violations of the proposed
law. offenders being subject to fine
of $4,000 or imprisonment, or both,
In all cases it is stipulated that the
vehicle in which unlawful exporta tion
is attempted shall be forfeited.
Menace to Country's Publishers.
There isn't business man in the
country" said Representative Campbell
this morning. in speaking of his bill to
a representative of The Star. who is
faced with a more serious problem in
obtaining product vital to the very
existence of his business than is the
publisher of a small newspaper. All
over the country we hear the same
story.
For more than a year. in certain in
stances that I could quote, these pub
fishers. who convey the news of the
day to millions of the citizens of the
United States. have been cut off from
their ordinary sources of supply
They have been forced to beg and
borrow. many of them have been pushed
to suspension, and all have been re-
Guired to pay exorbitant prices for the
small quantities of print paper they
have been able to secure.

companies, the Pittsburg and West
Virginia Gas Company, the Comet OIL
and Gas Company, and the Hope Com

parts Of Taylor county. A number OF
locations for new wells have been

Patent Applied for by Somerset
Farmer for Unique New
Dairy Process.

NEYBRsDALB, Pa Sept. 9.-sol
Gnagey has discovered a new way to
separate the cream from milk and
convert 1t into butter by labor-sav-
ing process When in town recently
Sol was asked II there was anything
new up in the Gnagey corner. Sol
doesn't consider anything except
snake stories as news, so he said:
"a hoop snake got into my cellar
the other day and drank gallon of
sweet milk out OF crock before any
of my family discovered him. When
caught in the act, he crawled out Of
the cellar, through the open door,
stuck his tail in his mouth and rolled
down a hill like a runaway automo-
bile tire. The hill was steep and he
was soon rolling so fast that he lost
control Of himself and in trying to
put on the brake, skldded against a
tree and had blowout.
II hurried down the hill to see the
result and when got to the place
where the accident happened. there lay
the punctured remains Of his snake
ship and a pound OF fresh butter.

The fact that the pelts or skins OF

prices questions the wisdom Of offer
ing such high bounties. in the opinion
OF the members of the livestock
board and state veterinarian depart

pelt will bring from 81 to $3.50;
that the same proportionate prices
are paid for wild cat and lynx skins;
that those OF bears bring from $40

for wolf skins or such good prices
The skins OF cougars are rare and
bring excellent prices Not only do
the hunters collect the bounty allow

the animals, collecting the bounty
and selling the pelts.-Capital News.
