sidewalk in Washington city and leave enough over to make a white carpet on the chief streets of Boston. It would, in fact, make a strip long enough to cover the railroad tracks of the Pennsylvania railroad from Washington to New York. and to pave the New York Central rail- road from there on to far beyond Albany, One years output of the mill would fur nish strip of pulp board long enough to reach four times around the world at the equator, and have enough left to extend across our continent and back again. When one remembers that there are hun dreds of such mills he has an idea of the amount of wood that is being turned into paper.
 During my stay I watched the process. The material was spruce. The trees are cut In the winter, far away in the for ests, and in the spring the logs are floated down the river to Lake Superior and brought in rafts to the mill. There they are sawed into sticks the size of kitchen stove wood, and the sticks are carried on endless belts to the grinders. The grinding is done in little mills, about eight feet in diameter and about eight feet in height. Each of these mills has big grindstone inside 1t, and the machin- cry presses the wood against these stones, which fly around at the rate of 200 revolu- tions per minute. They grind off the wood and the dust falls down into the water inside the mill. It forms sort of mush there, and when it comes out 1t looks like chewed paper It Is now wood pulp and has only to be purified and spread out into a sheet and dried before
 it is redy for the market.
 As the pulp comes from the mill 1t is forced through wire straners and then carried over wide belts of wool felt. It coats these belts and the particles stick together, forming paper which dries as 1t goes on through different machines and finally comes out in the great rolls which supply the presses of our daily news papers.
 All of the newspapers of the United States are now made of such pulp wood, and 90 per cent of all of the paper we use contins a certain amount of such pulp. At least 75 per cent is made en- tirely from wood.
 We are now using more than half or all the paper of the world, and of late the increase in consumption has been far beyond the supply. The war in Europe, by stopping the mills there, has created an additional demand, and some of our newspapers have not been able to get enough white paper to sup ply their subscribers. The price or news print paper has so increased that several thousand of the smaller jour- nals of the country will probably have

Washington, D. C. H17lHE forest service of the national
 government is studying the paper
 famine which now prevails over the world and preparing to do what it can to relieve it. It is making scientific experiments on all kinds of pulp wood in it's ground-wood laboratories in Wiscon- sin. and planning methods for the use of new varieties of trees and the elimina- ton of waste. It is also investigating the national forests with the view to the foundation of a permanent paper supply industry in connection with them. With in the past week I have had talk with 2 MT H. S. Graves as to the work going OF, and especially as to the utilization of the forests of Alaska for wood pulp and news print.
 First, let me tell you something as to how trees are made into paper. 1 have visited some of the largest mills in this country and Canada, and have also the latest information supplied by the gov ernment laboratories A little more than a generation ago paper was made almost altogether of rags. Then ground wood was mixed with the rag pulp and used as a filler, and still later they began to make paper of ground wood alone. About 25 years ago there were only something like SJ factories in the United States making such paper, and their annual products were less than $5,000,000. Ten years later the product had doubled, and the mills were over 200 Since then there has been steady increase. The demand for paper has far exceeded the supplies of our own mills, and we have been going outside the United States for our wood pulp and pulp wood. We have been importing paper and pulp to the amount of many million dollars, and large amount of the imports have come from Canada, which has some of the best wood pulp mills in the world.
 Not long ago I visited some of the largest of the Canadian pulp factories. l went through one at the point where Lake Superior and Lake Huron join The drop between the two lakes is abuot 20 feet, and the water power runs the me- chanical mills. The establishment visited was turning out 100 tons of woqA pulp per day, and I was told that each ton contained enough paper to cover city pavement for 8 length of three miles, The pulp came out in the shape of a sheet of cardboard about two yards wide, rolled up like carpet or mating, and the oay's output of the mill would cover every

 The ladies of Jacksonville, assisted by Miss Emma Harvey of the home econont- les bureau, will shortly have cannery of their own to take care of the fruits and vegetables they are raising. They have purchased a canner with GA holders, by the aid of which about POGO cans of fruit and vegetables can be prepared in a day. Miss Harvey hopes the ladies of Anniston will find it practicable to take similar action. The cannery in Jack sonville is believed to be the first com munity cannery in the country to be established and operated by ladies.
 In order that the food crop campaign may be success in this city, the House wives league of Anniston have renewed their campaign against the houselot chicken. For sometime they have been making an effort to prevent chickens running at large In Anniston, and an ordinance was adopted for this purpose sometime ago. This ordinance. however, has been hard to enforce, and In order that the nomadic chickens may not scratch up the vegetable gardens that are being planted on the town lots, as well as the flower gardens fostered by the league, a reward of s has been of fered for the arrest and conviction of the first chicken hereafter caught in viola tion of the city law.
