BOWSer.'S
Little Plan
He Is Going to Reduce
the Cost of White
Paper One-Half
BY M. QUAD.
sssssssssssseeeseeessesees
(Copyright. Mcclure Newspaper Syndicate

BY M. QUAD.
When Mr.. Bowser came up to din
ner the other evening there was let
ter awaiting him which had come In
the afternoon mall. 1t was q letter
from postmaster up the state. He
| opened 1t, and expressed n great salts
faction. He had no particulars to give
out, and Mrs. Bowser had learned to
repress her curiosity.
Half an hour after they had gene
upstairs Mr.. Bowser began pacing
the floor. as he always does when he
has got little scheme on hand. By
and by he suddenly made up his
mind to unbosom himself, and he sat
down and drew the letter from his
pocket and said:
Mrs. Bowser ! hold a fortune in
my hand"
HAS some one died and left you q
legacy?" she queried with smile.
"You know that paper is made of
woodpulpT
"I do"
"They take wood and soften 1t up
In some way so as to make a pulp
of 1t. You follow me. don't your"
Eyes. / understand everything"
THE papermakers have tried In
vain to find substitute for this
woodpulp. They have even ground
up old hats. They can make wrap
ping paper out Of bootlegs, and
straw stacks and kind of grass,
but nothing but woodpulp makes the
paper they want to make most, and
whole forests have disappeared In
the last two or three years"
Eyes, l have read about It several
times" said Mrs. Bowser. 'Your
coming fortune has something to do
with the woodpulp, hasn't it?"
ut has all to do with 1t, my dear,
as you will soon learn. About
month ago stranger came into my
office and introduced himself as Mr..
Riley. He wanted to go to war and
become great general. but he could
not do so unless he could make GER
tain business arrangements. He owns
tract Of woodland. comprising 1000
acres. 1t was worth SIS an acre. but
he would sell 1t to me for $40. and give
me plenty of time to pay for 1t. That
Is, am to pay him half down In cash
and he takes a mortgage on the land
for three years. Those are very favor
able terms. and they could not have
been offered me, except that Mr.. Riley
was anxious to be general"
"Well?" was the query.
''He said that about half a dozen
paper manufacturers were after that
woodland, but he would give me the
preference. There are trees enough
on that land to keep 10 paper mills
going night and day for a year. The
new supply Of woodpulp will bring
down the price Of white paper fully
so per cent. ! buy that land at $40

the grocer intlmated that as long as
there were such men In the world
the price of butter and eggs could
never be brought down to the old
standard.
Mr.. Bowser realized Just what
would happen when he re-entered
his house. Mrs. Bowser would be
reading book. She would lay that
book down with smile of triumph
and she would expect an apology
from him. He would feel crushed
and Inundated. and, though she
would not crow over him. he could
not hold his head up again for a
week.
Mr.. Bowser fingered by his gate
He also fingered on the front steps.
He turned the doorknob quietly and
he walked in without his scuff of
the feet. Yes. Mrs. Bowser sat there
with u book. She laid the book down
with smile but she said:
mir. Bowser. a rat has gnawed q
hole and found his way Into the
kitchen. Won't you set trap for him
tonlghtT
That was all-nll except that Mr..
Riley hasn't sold that woodland to
Mr.. Bowser yet.

"Yes, I Will go out" exclaimed Mr..
Bowser, rs he brought his fist down
on the reading table, land l will let

Mr.. Bowser went out He inter
viewed the carpenter. a grocer, a
butcher and a builder. and. though
they didn't call him names, they
looked at him with amazement and
n contempt that hurt his feelings.

that he might as well buy out junk

Towns Can Help Farmers.

There is an opportunity now for ur-
ban people alphabetically and con-.
structively to study the farm-labor sit
uation and to render assistance, said
David IT. Houston. secretary of agri-
culture. In recent statement. In
many towns and cities there are men
who have had farming experience, who
are able-bodied and who doubtless
would be willing to serve the nation
in the field of agriculture at this time.
Especially for the seasonal strains of
planting. cultivating and harvesting, 1t
will not be too much to ask such men
to aid the farmers In the necessary I'M
dertaking Of maintaining and, II posi-
BILE, supplementing. the food supply in
order to feed the armies and to sustain
the civilian population behind them.
If 1t appears that the farmers Of
community or region are not able to
secure the necessary labor by the usual
methods, then the leaders in the town
or city Immediately dependent upon
that region should organize, establish
touch with representative farm lead
ers. and see If they cannot assist in
solving the problem. The department
of agriculture and labor will render
every possible aid. but each community
knows its own problems, and urban
people, especially business men, could
cooperate effectively with the farmers
and also render much assistance.

Work Women Can Do.

Women and girls who wish to help
the farms produce more food can be Of
immediate service in the lighter farm
tasks such as fruit and berry picking,
sorting and packing. They can help
over-busy farm women in their house
hold tasks. especially In preparing the
large amount Of food needed for har-
vesting crews.
Indirectly they can help the farmers
with their heavy work by taking the
place of their men folks who perform
lighter tasks In office. store, or factory,
thereby relieving these men at critical
times to go out to the farms and help
with the heavy work unsuited to wom-
ems physical strength.

Men and Boys EIrstl

The farmers will need human help
to handle and harvest the vast acre
ages needed to produce enough bread
for the nation and the allies. This
work calls for Drawn, muscle, physical
endurance. Time to think of women
at heavy work in the fields when there
are no American men and boys to be
spared from store, office or factory.
No business save fighting and pro-
viding the things fighters must have to
win battles is more important than pro-
ducing enough food. Give your atten-
ton to food production on some farm.
Help your employees to get out to the
farms at harvest and other critical
seasons.

VALUABLE EXPERIENCE.

help make up the deficiency in
man power on her farms will be
valuable to workers In this coun-
try should 1t become necessary
under labor stringencies In GER
tain sections to enlist women
farm workers. At this time It
is not apparent to officials of the
United States department of
agriculture that the farm labor
needs will require the services of
women In other than the lighter
tasks to which they already are
accustomed. But In order that
food production plans for this
year shall not fall down, the de-
partment has advised its field
representatives to be prepared
to encourage women to perform
farm labor If the situation de-
mands 1t.
