School Official Urges Paper Saving
Campaign.
School teachers of Louisiana
are being urged by the State De-
partment of Education to stimuli
late interest in a movement for
paper saving by the school chill
dren. Superintendent I. H. Har-
ris has issued the following cir
cular on the subject, with a view
of helping in plans for relieving
the paper shortage and also en-
ables the children to make some
money for themselves:
There is an acute and severe
shortage of paper over the United
States. The situation has be-
come so serious that officials OF
the United States government
have inaugurated paper saving
campaign to conserve the supply,
and a national necessity exists
that everyone in a position to DO
so should cooperate in the move
ment.
Here is an opportunity for
the children of the public schools
of Louisiana to learn an impor-
tant economy and at the same
time benefit themselves. The
saving of waste paper is an eco
nomy that should be practiced by
the children at all times, but un-
der the existing abnormal condi-
tons, it amounts to a duty.
First, there should be no vast
age by the children in the use OF
tablet paper; second, there should
be saving Of all waste paper at
the school, and a collection OF old
newspapers and other waste pa
I per in the community by the chill
dfeasthird, after the paper has
been collected it should be dis
posed of through some junk deal
err who handles waste of this ma
ture. These dealers are to be
found in all of the larger towns
and cities of the State. The
price of waste paper varies, but
it can readily be sold for from Y
to 40 cents a 100 pounds. Ar
rangements should be made by
the school for the sale of the pa
per. as it will be impracticabl'
for a buyer to deal with the chill
dren individually.
1.-The money derived from tn
sale of the paper should be de
voted to some popular schoo
purpose, such as the school play
ground or the procuring OF book
for the school library.
IF these suggestions are fol
lowed out, as local conditions j
the school and community WI
permit, the campaign should re
suit in teaching the children
valuable lesson in thrift and &
the same time helping in sma
degree, at least, to conserve Tn
paper supply of the county an
relieving to some extent the vi
precedented shortage in the p'
per market.
Il wish to urge that teachel
throughout the State stlmula
the children to take an active Il
terest in this important campals
organize the work for them, al
assist them in finding a mark
for the waste paper and in co
Quoting the sales.

FOOD SITUATION
in GERMANY is
GREAT PROBLEM

Stockholm, Jan. 18.-The food sit
uation in Germany has grown much
worse during the last six months, &C.
cording to the experience of an Asso-
ciated Press correspondent who has
returned from a trip to Berlin. Pota,-
capita ration in Berlin was less than
4 IL pounds. This is attributed in
part to the farmers withholding ship
ments until Feb. Is, when higher
prices will be permitted, but it is not
denied that the potato crop is insult
ficient to meet the normal demand
No cheese has been on the MAJ
ket since August and eggs are Inob-
tainable, except surreptitiously, at 16
to- 20 cents apiece. Berlin's daily
milk receipts are about 35O,DQO litres.
against a normal 100000 and it is
impossible to buy clothing, shoes.
stockings or blankets except by per-
mission of the police. This latter,
however, may he merely a precau-
tionary measure, as the shops appear
well stocked with clothing.
Rome, Jan.i 18.-The government
has created y special committee to
provide a more extensive and rapid
system of food distribution, according
to the Stefani agency. The commit
tee is composed CT the ministers Of
the interior, agriculture and trans
portation and Signor Comandlnl, min
lister without portfolio: Signor Cane

There is no immediate danger, il

when the. conservation Of our forest
resources demands more serious and
real economic consideration
In this connection he suggested
