Bloting Paper.

Blotting paper. like many an
other valuable discovery. was found
entirely by accident. One day in a
paper mill in Berkshire, England.
careless workman forgot to put
in the sizing and it was necessary
to throw out the entire lot as spoil
ed. Later the angry proprietor sat
down to write a note and possibly
for reasons of economy used a sheet
of the condemned paper. To his in
creased annoyance the ink spread
all over the paper and he was
about to give up in disgust when
the thought struck him that it
might be possible to use the paper
for absorbing ink in place of the
sand then universally used. After
some successful experimenting he
was able to dispose of his entire
damaged stock under the name of
blotting paper.
From that time on blotting pa
per came into general use. At first
it was always pink in color, red
rags being used. Red was a fast
color and difficult to bleach, hence
the red rags were useless in manu-
featuring writing paper. But as
the color of blotting paper did not
interfere with its usefulness, red or
pink was as good a color as any
other, and thus provided a means of
utilizing otherwise wasted material

Zone System Not Understood.

1t is not surprising that the public
has misunderstood the sinificance Of
the zone system of postal charges
for second-class mail matter, when
some newspapers have failed to ap-
preciate that it means the death
sentence upon many publications
President Wilson. when governor of
New Jersey. opposed the system. TT
must be-" said he. that those who
are proposing this change of rates
do not comprehend the effect it
would have. \ tax upon the busi-
ness of the more widely circulated
magazines and periodicals would be
tax upon their means of living
and performing their functions" The
Penrose-Overstreet Joint Commission
in 1906 and the Hughes Commission
in 1912 denounced the plan. Although
the Senate had declined by a vote Of
SO to to enact any postal legisla-
ton and the majority OF the House
did not want the zone system, yet
it was passed.-Leslie's.

Sunday. March 10. 1eIs.

After the early morning when IRA
nus is adverse, the rule today IL
favorable. Venus, Mercury and the
Sun are all in benefc aspect.
The evening Of this day is read as
a most auspicious time for love-mak-
ing. Engagements made under this
sway are held to be very fortunate,
Although Venus gives such encour-
agement to wooers during this config-
uration Uranus is believed to impart
the power of deceiving successfully
and for that reason special care
should be exercised.
Newspapers and periodicals have the
best possible direction, for sensational
events will increase the demand for
them and new uses for advertising
will develop.
Writers should make the most OF
this planetary government, which
promises. the rise Of a new school OF
authors in the United States.
While this day is not an auspicious
one for aviation, supreme success and
world fame are prognosticated for
Americans.
Uranus still remains in an aspect
encouraging TO explosions. especially
in buildings. There is a sign again
menacing to Washington and places
near the Capital.
The seers who have repeatedly warn
ed that England would have serious
internal troubles and have prophesied
grave events unfortunate for the King
and Queen. again declare that there
ences will be reflected in political con-
United States becomes involved
President Wilson should safeguard
his health and person with especial
care during the next few weeks.
The stars indicate that war influ-
may be some difficulty in which the
ditiOns which will develop in the sum-
mer.
Persons whose birthdate 1t is have
the forecast OF success in business
They should do nothing rashly or
without due consideration. The young
will court and marry.
Children born on this day will be
artistic and affectionate. These sub
jects of Pisces. with Neptune as their
principal ruling planet, may be high
strung and restless. but they have the
augury OF uneventful careers.

COTTON MARKETS.

New York. March 9.-FGrther weakness was
shown in the cotton market today on renewed
general selling, due to . revival Of rTice-Axins
rrImors and unfayorable advices from Manches-
ter. There was heavy local. Western. and South
ern liquidation.
The start was Z to 10 points lower on old crop
positions. but new crop options opened to 8
points higher. helped by an absence Of rain IN
Texas After the beginning Of business, sum-
Gent weekend covering developed to rally the
list almost back to last nights finals on old
crop months. Later in the first hour, however,
sharp recessions occurred.
A private cable said that after March IS oper-
ating spindles in Lancashire would be reduced
from 50 to 90 per cent. This information was
received here earlier IN the week. but its refter-
alton tended to increase the nervousness.
Receipts at the port for the day were about
1900 bales. against s.Ils year ago.
Spot here was quiet and % points lower at

changed at 525s; sales. 2.7ls bales.

New York, March s.-Stocks were

Such a settlement would also AFFECT

the government can make special al

unusual expenditures in the last three
years-expenditures that did not have
time to be reflected in earnings Of

materially and that is the reason
for the strength in the stock. It
Is possible that the company may
pay the full dividend on the pre-
ferred, now that the law recognizes
its peculiar plight.
United States Steel Corporation an
nounced that untitled orders on its
books are 1S9. 100 tons less than for
the previous month. This shrinkage
is OF no Importance. for private buy
ers do not bother placing their orders
any more, because they know they
cannot get the material so long as
the government wants II.
The steel companies have more
business than they can attend to
and the volume OF untitled orders
may be safely ignored as a market
factor. There is a growing demand
for information from the steel COM
panies as to the volume Of actual
production each month for both the
government and the general public.
The actual bank statement today
showed an increase in loans OF SS5,-
7ISooo; an increase in demand depos-
its df S49.92O.OOO and a decrease in
RESERVES of s1,S62,s5O.
This statement corTects the very
bad condition disclosed a week ago.
IL Is evident from the great disparity
between the two statements that the
improvement took place at the end
OF the week and that may account
for the sharp upturn in stock prices
seen on Friday. The statement is
assuring in regard to money rates
for the coming week.

Analyses Of the New York Stock
Market situation received by w.
B. Hibbs and Company yesterday
read as follows:
Overnight news is of no importance
as a market influence and we ex-
pect a continuation of the good tone
of yesterdays market. Rails will
lead, with industrials following; but
the usual Saturday evening up can
be looked for.
John Moody-we still believe that
those who made purchases of spec
ulative and semi-speculative issues
at the much lower prices of a few
months ago, would make no mistake
in realizing on strong days There
is little buying power in the market
at present and the rpaid approach
of the liberty loan campaign with
Tightening money rates will continue
to discourage new purchases at the
present level.
F. B. Keech-We believe that the
railroad supply companies must con-
tinue TO be actively employed and
now that the railway bill is about
to become a law they should be
more active.

Miss Dee Shadley Severely Burned

Private Lutte NJ Shadley, of the
local detachment Oregon Military
Police, was called to Condor sud
denly last Thursday morning on
account of the accident to his sister
who was very badly burned the
morning before. The following ac-
count of the accident is taken from
the Condor Times
Miss Dee Shadley, who was help
ing her sister, Mrs. Carter, in the
kitchen of the Fenton hotel, narrow
ly escaped a horrible death at eight
o'clock on Wednesday morning, when
her apron caught fire from the cook
stove In a few minutes the upper
part of her body was enveloped in
flames. Evan Anderson, who was
eating his breakfast in the dining
room, heard her screams and ran to
the kitchen, where he tore the fam
ing clothes off and finally wrapped
the girl in an old sheet which
smoothered the fire. Had Anderson
not been there, or had not had the
courage to act as he did, the young
woman would have been burned to
death. AS it was, the girls arms,
neck, and hair were badly burned.
Anderson had one hand badly scorch-
ed the other also was burned altho
not so badly. DR.. Cathey was sum-
moned to dress the burns, and Miss
Shadley was taken to the hospital
where she is doing as well as can be
expected.
