their dumps by selling to somebody
the exclusive right to take care of the
dump for the paper and scrap iron
that may be found there. Paper mills
are trying to perfect their utilization
of the riber that goes out with the
sludge on the filter beds. Burning
charcoal is one of the latest moves in
the utilization of waste in Massa-
chusetts, first because it converts into
marketable product some forest
weed that has been a source of ex-
pense to land owners in the past, and
secondly because both the wood alco-
hol and the acetate of lime that are
in the wood can now be saved. An
even more marked advance, perhaps,
in the utilization of useless forest pro-
ducts is the harvesting OF alder WOOD
which formerly has been cut out and
burned in heaps at considerable ex-
pense to the land owners, but now is
in demand for black powder. Here in
Emmett the big lumber manufacture
ing plant is preparing to turn into
pulp for the manufacture of paper
the waste from the sawmill and the
timbers in the forest not suitable for
lumber that hitherto have been burned
or allowed to remain in the forest and
become a grave fire menace to the
useful timber. These observations
suggest the approach of a time when
everything that grows will have a
value, and the enormous
waste still going on will cease.

All, and can feel them now, the
kicks gained from that dad-blamed
cow! say MIXED, but it's only fair
to own that oft l was out in the air,
sailing away toward the golden west,
to land ker-slam 'gainst the fence to
rest, and pause moment to rub my
hurts, and then crawl back for few
more squirts, till kicked again on a
tender spot l flew through the air to
become blot on the fence and then
go crawling back, only once more on
the fence to whack. That's the stuff
that makes strong men. Poets sing
gally of the charm of boyhood days

Talk to almost any man ten minutes
and he will tell you what the town
needs most is fearless paper-one
which is not afraid to condemn right
and left and make everybody in public
and private life toe the mark. An in
teresting experiment might be made
by some one in conducting newspa-
per. There probably never was time
in the history Of modern journalism
when good newspapers could be
bought so cheaply as now. For some
well meaning editors are already be-
ginning to tire of working for the
paper trust. We suggest that some
one who is convinced in his own mind
just how fearless a newspaper should
be that he get hold of good paper
and show the world just how to run it.
