Greyhounds.

"A greyhound is probably the fastest
creature that moves upon the EARTH"
says a breeder of dogs. 1T is on rec
ord that a greyhound beat the famous
race horse Flying Childers. An abso-
Lutte trial between horse and greyhound
is difficult because, while the horse
can be ridden at top speed, 1t is i'm
possible to insure that the greyhound
will run all he can. But dog that
can start fifty yards behind hare and
overtake it within another fifty-and
this is about what the greyhound does
must surely be faster than anything
else that runs and has his superior
only among the birds. "-Detroit Free

PAPER SCARCITY SERIOUS

The paper situation really begins
TO look serious in the United States.
The world war has brought about
a condition that is teaching the peo-
pie an important lesson in conserya-
ton of those things which have here
tofore been wasted. England has
been getting its supply of paper large
" from Germany and the United
States has been depending largely
upon. Canada The Canadian supply
is now being shipped to the mother
country and our people are left with
a scarcity. Unless the paper situa'
tion is remedied, 1t is probable that
many of the big newspapers of the
country will be forced to materially
cut down the size of their papers.
The country is not without plenty
of material, and if the German sup
ply were entirely exhausted the
world would have plenty of paper
but the forests of South America
have not yet been drawn upon, and
the scarcity is said to be due to
that fact. 1t is probable also that
paper can be made from some of the
trees of this country, especially the
cottonwood might be utilized for that
purpose. In time we will adjust our
selves to the situation, but it re
uuires time, and for that reason we
must pay the penalty. The paper
market is becoming somewhat ike
the steel market-no matter how
