Secretary's Statement.

His statement is. in part. as follows:
Conditions in the paper industry
have constituted one of the most seri-
Gus of our domestic problems during the
last year Due to the eXorbltan'
prices charged for news print, the
profits of the great dailies were either
wiped out entirely or else reduced 10
a minimum while the small publishers
were brought face to face with sus-
pension and even absolute ruin re-
riodicaI publishers have Jared no less
badly, the profits of book publishers
have changed to losses in many cases
and the price of paper of every kind
has risen by leaps and bounds.
The federal trade commission mas
brought some measure of relief to the
newspaper publishers. Competition has
been freed from restraint, prices nave
been made to bear a closer relation To
the cost of production and more
EQUITABLE system of distribution has
been devised, so that the little fellows
will get their fair share of the manu-
featured product. But, While the IN
.tuiry Of the commission developed artl-
ricial control, it developed also that
there is almost an equal balance be-
tween supply and demand in the paper
industry.

Growing Use OF Paper.

IN 1914 We used about 1000 tons Of
news print every day. Cur present use
has reached 5000 tons a day, and the
demand appears TO be increasing at the
rate Of 20 per cent u year. materially
faster than the increase in population.
To supply our presses with news print
REQUIRES annually about 1000. 900 cords
1f pulp wood. To meet our require
lnents for magazine and book paper,
stationery and business papers of all
forms, wrapping papers. wall papers,
cardboard, fiber board and the like
100000 cords more Of pulp wood are
consumed annually.
Production barely keeps pace with
this consumption. For instance, the es-
tinlated demand for news print for the
irst six months of 1917 is $4,000 tons.
against this is placed an estimated
supply OF 100000 tons
Independent of Foreign Supplies.
AS 81 this close balance was not peril
enough, there IS the added fact that the
United States depends upon Canada for
q third of its newsprint paper, either
n the form Of finished product or raw
material, This proportion is increas-
ing rapidly. The pressure Of economic
conditions and lack of foresight in cut

available private supply of pulp woods

From Government ST. Upoint.
Tho fundamental problem from the
government standpoint is TO build up
papcr production in the United States
to keep pace with u gro<ing demand
and afford a sufficient supply to hold
prices at all times to reasonable levels.
Secretary Houston says that the IN
creasing dependence on Canada for
large part OF the paper supply is I'M
necessary and should be ended
If private enterprise will furnish the
CAPITAL to build and operate paper
mills using the raw material from the
national forests the government is
ready 10 cooperate If private capital
does not do this it is considered very
probable according to secretary Hous-
ton. that the government VIII ou1ld Il

Of paper in the western fields.

How may our tremendous natural

Making Public Forest Available.
The first plan is that of public sales
OF raw material 10 the manufacturers.
This already is being done to some Elk
tent. During the last year national
forest timber sales to lumber. compa-
MES railroads and mining companies
and one western paper mill amounted
to Sl.Iaa.00O. This plan calls for con
tractual relations between the govern
mont and private capital. New mills
might be erected in Alaska. the Puget
sound country or the Rocky mountain
region. under agreements with the gov
material. guaranteed under an equi-
table adjustment of prices from time
to time. This already is being done in
the case Of certain sawn,ills. Such
contracts may readily contain proVi-
sions which give the public effective
control of possible industrial com bina-
tions or monopolieS.
Experts of the forest service report
that 1t Is entirely practice bic to manu-
facture news print i'll Alaska and de-
liver it to New York through the Pan

S. q ton. When it is considered that
ton upward. il is evident that eN-
cellent competitive basis exists for the
introduction of western papers.
The development Of private paper
plants in the west might be supple
mented by the erection of mills by the
/ federal government itself. 1t is eSti-
mated that a mill with a capacity OF
one hundred tons of news print a day
can he built in Alaska for two and a
nalf million dollars. Even if the out
put OF the mill were confined to the
needs of the government alone. it is
probable that such q mill would pay

The American Fighting Man

Be kind to the American soldier,
Honor the uniform he wears;
Don't judge the army by one man
Who has fallen in snares.
There are good and bad among
US all,
In every walk of life;
On every day you'll find some one
Who has fallen in the strife.
What a cruel world this would-be
If on judgment day,
For the sins of an individual
The whole world had to pay.
There are many people in this
world
You'llfnd them in every town
Who always do their very best
To run soldier down.
And when a war is started
They re the very first to run,
And try to pet and pamper
The man behind the gun.
So, when you see a soldier pass,
Just stop and think: Some day
He may be fighting for you all
In the trenches far away.
Treat him right when you have
a chance,
And let him see that you un-
derstand,
And you'll find that he's a gen.

LOOK OUT FOR
FAKE SOLICITORS

Organization of County Coun-
ellis Of Defense continues with
rapidity and the first of August
will probably see every council
in Arkansas ready for co-opera-
ton with the State Council. The
county organizations are reques-
ted to organize in the same man
ner as the State Council, with
the same committees, or an as
signment of different branches
of the work to the various mem
bers. Members of councils who
are looking after agricultural af-
fairs can get in touch with the
member Of the State Council who
has a like subject, and he can,
in turn, get into communication
with all members of the county
councils on agriculture, and that
matter can thus be handled alike
in all counties. The same can be
done with labor problems, fire
prevention and everything else
that may come within the scope
of the council.
Persons who feel inclined to
donate any sum of money for the
maintenance of the State Coun-
Gil of Defense should send the
contribution direct to Gen. Lloyd
England, Chairman of the Coun-
Gil, or give it to some authorized
solicitor of the Council. There
being no way for financing the
State Council of Defense other
than by public subscription, Gov.
Brough has issued a proclama-
ton asking public spirited peo-
pie to send subscriptions to Gen.
England. At recent meeting
it was decided to warn the peo-
pie to beware of solicitors who
may claim to represent the State
Council of Defense in asking for
contributions The Council at
the present time has no author
lied agents out soliciting funds,
and should it decide to send any
out, will supply them with ere
dentiaIs that will guarantee to
the subscriber that the funds he
donates will find it's way into the
treasury of the State Council.
