COMMISSION MAY SOLVE
PRINT PAPER QUESTION
Manufacturers Offer to Let Federal
Trade Body Fix Prices, With Tacit
Understanding That Prosecutions
Under Antitrust Acts Won't Be
Pressed.

Washington, Feb. 16.-News print
paper manufacturers facing criminal
prosecution in United States courts
for alleged combination in restraint of
trade proposed to the federal trade
commission today that it fix a reason
able price for the output of the prin-
cipal plants of the United States ans
Canada. The commission announced
tonight that it had the proposal under
consideration and would reply imme-
diately. 1t is generally believed the
answer will be acceptance
The action of the manufacturers
gives signal victory to American
newspaper publishers, who in the face
of advancing paper prices have seen
nothing ahead but ruin for many Of
their number. If the pro"osa; is a.
cepted, officials say, it will mark an
expansion Of the functions Of the gov
ernment which in arbitrating the diff
ferences between the two industries
opens up a wide field of possibilities
for the future. Although nothing has
been said concerning the continuance
OF grand jury proceedings in New
York. it is we'll understood the manu-
facturers' move was Dredicated on
the assumption that there would be no
criminal prosecutions.
The manufacturers in their pro-
rosal, while denying there have been
any violations of the law, agree that
the trade commission if it finds 1t
necessary may make recommends
tions for such changes in the bust
ness Of print paper manufacturers at
that Industry may maintain it's or
ganization, management and conduct
of business in accordance With the
law
The announcement came after sew
eral days of conference between rep
resentatives Of manufacturers who
made enough of the continents print
paper to control the market, and at

HOME GROWN FEEDS
ARE NECESSARY

Clemson College, S. c., Feb. 49,
The past year has demonstrated
one thing to the satisfaction of every
man in the State who is engaged in
dairy farming, and that is that he can
not hope for success unless he pro-
duces at home all of the grain feeds.
In every instance where farmers
have become discouraged with the
business the underlying cause has
been the lack of sufficient homegrown
feeds. To meet this requirement the
following feed requirement for one
cow has been worked out by the Ex-
tension Division for the information
OF farmers during the coming year.
One ton of legume hay.
Four tons mangels or silage.
One ton sorghum.
1-2 acre velvet beans and corn
1-2 acre rye for winter pasture.
One acre permanent Bermuda pas
ture.
The above ration will furnish suf-
ficient feed for one COW for one
year. with the exception of 200 pounds
OF cottonseed meal or soybean meal
which should be added to the grain
mixture. The 1-2 acre of velvet beans
should furnish at least two months of
winter grazing, besides 700 pounds
OF velvet beans in the pod and 700
pounds of corn and cob meal to be
mixed with the velvet bean meal and
cottonseed or soy-bean meal for the
grain mixture

PRIEST ATTACKS SUNDAY
AS TOOL OF CAPITALISTS

New York, Jan. ia lively fight
against Billy Sundays evangelistic
campaign in New York was presaged
today by the Rev. Joseph Ii. McMa-
hon, pastor of Our Lady OF LOrues ito
man Catholic church, one OF the most
influential in the city. In message
to his flock and to church people gen
orally, Father Mcmahon bitterly at
tackled the baseball eyangelists
methods.
There is strong evidence de.
clared Father Mcmahon. that Sunday
deliberately makes himself an instru-
ment of capitalists to make working
people content and submissive under
injustice.
Mather Mcmahon charged that Sun
days converts to Christianity were
not real ones. Investigation, he said,
proved that in Philadelphia 1900 OF
the alleged converts had given wrong
names and addresses. Sunday had a
gift of Mob hypnotism,' he said
which enabled him to pursue success

A CASE WHERE THE LAW
HELPS TO DEFEAT JUSTICE

A peculiar twist in the divorce
laws is blamed for the predcament in
which Harry Miller and Mrs. Thomas,
the former of whom is in the county
Jail on a state charge and the latter
under surveillance at the county farm,
find themselves They were always
willing TO wed but couldn't.
Miller was arrested as a forger sus-
pect and found to be living as the hus
band of Mrs. Thomas, when in reali.
ty they were not married. He was in
dlcted by the January grand jury and
now stands in fair way to secure his
freedom over the hymenal route.
Mrs. Thomas. year ago Tuesday
was divorced from her husband. To
day she is eligible to espouse a hus
band under the statutes and she has
signified her willingness to marry
Miller. Miller is affable and the law
says that couple held under charges
instituted against them must be re
leased from prosecution if they wed
Mrs. Thomas is preparing hel
trousseau, while Miller Is preparing
for his release. The wedding, they
have announced to the authorities vii
take place some time this week. The
law is avenged and so society is get
ting its share of satisfaction.

WASTE PAPER RECEPTACLES.
St. Louis Globe Democrat Advocates
Increase Of Them.

The city might find it profitable
investment to multiply the number OF
its street receptacles for waste paper
and other debris, says the st. Louis
Globe Democrat. With such magni1i-
cant distances between the boxes they
have been but poorly patronized. With
one always near, one at every corner,
for instance, the average person would
soon be educated to carry waste paper
the few steps needed to reach place
where it could be put out OF sight and
mind. But there are few who can be
trusted to burden themselves with such
freight during long wait or hunt for
box. The American aversion to car
rying anything for any distance along
street makes the appeal Of waste
boxes a half mile apart wholly vain
and ineffective.
When it was first announced that
these boxes were to be installed we cX-
pressed high hopes that the disiigurc-
ment Of our thoroughfnres with cast.
off newspapers would soon be ended
and that the gaudy circular or cata.
logle flung aside by the unintercsted
would cease 10 flaunt us on our prone.
nades. Both Of these hopes might have
been realized had not the boxes been
set too far apart
Let the municipality, n not as con-
tributon to the making Of the city
beautiful then as contribution to its
own revenues greatly increase the
number Of these reccptacles. At rres.

time. strike in that way mine almost
