fore this, something like Sayreville,
but now I am in a place which con-
tains many large stores and buildings.

over here. I met Harry Wilbur again.
Perhaps you remember my telling
you that I had met him In Camp

WORK FOR MANNED SOLDIERS
Useful Occupations Are Taught to
Men in Workshops in
Wales.

London.-Mrs. Lloyd George, wife
of the British prime minister, has been
in her native Wales opening a hostel
for training disabled soldiers in rural
industries, the first of its kind in
Great Britain. Many crafts are being
carried on in Pregnant. the little viii
lage where the Vale of Clwyd Rural
Industries Workshops are established.
Toy-making and basket-making are
taught to the disabled fighting men,
but it is the furniture making depart
ment which is especially interesting
people, for the work of this branch is
to undertake the skilful repairing of
old furniture and to reproduce old
Welsh designs. Fine copies of beau
tiful old Welsh dressers and the typi-
cal carved oak chests and settles and
commodious linen presses of the prin-
cipality are being turned out by the
disabled soldiers.

MUST STOP WASTING PAPER
Every Ton of Paper Saved Means
Saving Fifteen Days of Mans
Labor.

MISUNDERSTANDING eats up
raw materials, including wood, coal,
chemicals and man power. 1t takes a
man eight or nine days to make a ton
of paper. 1t takes four tons of raw
material to make n ton of paper. 1t
takes a mans labor to cut the wood,
another mans labor to drive a log
down the river to the mill. Every ton
of paper saved means the saving of
fifteen days of a mans labor.
You can save a ton of paper.
There are 100000 men employed in
the pulp and paper industry. Think
of the men employed i'm the transpor-
tation, in the sulphur mines, chemical
plants, coal mines, laboratories and
other industries co%ntributory to the
making of paper.
This man power and this raw mate
rial should be saved for war industry.
The government needs the ray materi-
ais, needs the chemicals-to lick the
Hun.
Stop wasting paper! A scrap of pa
per saved is man power saved at the
source.
