The broad policy pursued by the
Great Northern Paper Company in
preserving the timberlands by judi
cious cutting is we'll understood by
all timber operators and this policy
will perpetuate the taxable value to
the benefit of the State for many
years to come so that the large sum
of S140000 which the Great Northern
Paper Company pays to the State
each year will continue. 1t is an in
teresting fact and one that the people
Of the State OF Maine may we'll pom
der that all the money, with the ex-
ception Of a few thousand dollars, has
been contributed by so-called foreign
capital and that still more capital
will be coming into the State from
this source is indicated by the fact
that surveys have been made for a
further storage and power develop
ment which it is expected will be
started when normal conditions have
returned.

Many people of Maine, especially
those who live in the eastern part of
the State, are, more or less, familiar
with the remarkable development at
Millinocket. but it is doubtful If the
people of the State in general realize
the extent of the work done by the
Great Northern Paper Company and
its auxiliary company, the West
Branch Driving and Reservoir Dam
Company, and what it means to the
State.
The Great Northern Paper Com

special laws of the State of Maine in

Madison at which place it added to

TO REDUCE WASTE.

Mrs. Helen H. Downing, prominent
lecturer and teacher on home economics,
offers the following practical thoughts on
one phase of conservation:
Paper is at a premium in this country
and as a means of reducing waste the
Fuel Administration has decided to pro-
hibit its use in various ways.
The unnecessary wrapping of food will
be prohibited it is announced. Useless
editions of books, the packing of candy
in paper and the making of paper towel
ing also will be abandoned.
This indirectly points 10 the fact that
if you buy package foods, or foods in

cartons or tins, you are saving the paper
which necessarily must be used on bulk
food. Every woman who has opened and
mt away bulk butter and lard knows
there is also waste of food in this plan
of bulk buying
This again may lead to the question
asked by few: "Are not bulk foods
cheaper to purchase, because one is not
paving for can, etc.," Every woman
should be able to answer that for herself.
Package foods even when they cost one,
two. or even three cents more a pound
are more practical and cheaper in the
end. because of their absolute cleanli-
ness, better flavor, uniform weight. and
elimination of waste.

owing to the great fluctuations in the
flow of the river much of this power
could be used only when the river
was at full head. During periods of
drought, the flow of the river would
run as low as 500 cubic it. per second,
while during the spring floods, mil
lions of cubic feet of water were
wasted. To overcome this fuctuat-

OF course we all realize now that we

the making of non-essentials. These
workers can speed up production OF food,

SCRAPPING THE 81 M--AMERICA DARES
WOLF ASSISTANT NATIONAL HOUSING

an improvement scheme under the Ar
tisans' and Laborers' Dwelling Act of
that year. The scheme dealt with an
area OF % acres and 1900 10 10000 peo-
pie. The area was laid out with new
streets and open spaces. The worst
dwellings were taken down and the rest
put into sanitary condition. The gross
outlay for this improvement was S.
100000.
Between 1890 aud 1911, Manchester de-
molished 1896 houses. Her first large
clearance scheme was undertaken in
1891. when five acres were cleared OF
their slums which the city replaced
with large blocks containing 372 dwell
ings. The total cost OF the undertake
ing was 81 1856, ,953. Almost stimuli
taneously several smaller schemes in
VolVing an area OF i-2 acres were
launched. Part OF the land was cleared
and tenements containing $50 dwellings
were put up. Nine hundred persons
were dispossessed and housing was
provided for 1923. In 1904 the council
purchased 23S acres on the city boun-
dairy at a cost OF Si73,i ,i57 for the pur-
pose Of erecting thereon 203 cottages.
$50 OF which were required 10 rehOuse
the tenants OF houses which were torn
down In the course OF making a new
street and widening two old ones.
Great Britain easily has taken the
lead in the scrapping OF the slum but
now France, because she realizes that
with the loss OF a million or more OF
her men she must do everything she
can to preserve and build up the next
generation: that she cannot afford TO
let II grow up in insanitary, unhealth-
ful and disagreeable surroundings, is
taking an advanced stand with regard
to housing standards and the applica-
tiOn OF town planning principles In the
rebuilding Of her devastated areas. In
many cases, even, she did not wait for
the devastating hand Of the Hun, but
herself levelled acres OF insanitary
abOdes whcih are TO be replaced by
parks, Fairgrounds, wide streets and flt
homes. In Limoges. six acres OF four
and flve-stOry tenements In the heart
OF the city were razed in 1915 and 1916.
and at a cost OF many millions OF dol
lars the city is laying out new and
broader streets and rebuilding the dis
tricts along modern city planning lines.
In Alarseilles "a i-2 acres were torn down
and something like 100000 francs are
to.be spent in laying out new broad
streets and open spaces and erecting
modern types Of buildings.

Our Pensioners In England.

In his way, John Davis, who died at
his Bermondsey home in Blue Anchor
Lane-an appropriate address for an
old sailor-did much useful work on
behalf of Englishmen who. like HIM
self, had fought in the American Civil
war, relates a writer in the Westmin-
lister Gazette.
There are something like $50 II
these men still living in this countryi
and John Davis was instrumental In
rescuing many of them from the work
house and getting them pensions,
which the United States government
was always willing to pay If 1t had
known where to find the men.
On the last occasion / chatted with
the old man in his little parlor. fur
nished like ships cabin, he told nae
of rumor that the pensions were to
be stopped unless the men returned to
America but he wrote later to say
that this rumor was quite without
foundation.

SerYselfs Also Afloat.

There isn't chance of dodgiag
them any more, either on land or on
sea. The sailor boys on the U. S. S.
New York form In line between decks
and, tray in hand, select their food at
the counter of the ships seryself. A
blackboard over the counter lists the
bill and in all other respects except the
presence of the grasping cashier the
service is just like the midday lunch
back home.
The new method, which is to be in
stalled on all of the big battleships, re-
places the old system of messmen and
mess units, says Milestones. Then all
of the food for the meal was piled on
the plates at the tables by the mess
men and the job of serving the entire
unit was completed before the men
were "piped down" to their cooling
food.
Surely hot food, in the amount you
want and Of the kind you want must
be an improvement over the old mess,
but juggling tray loaded to the gun
wales with beans and corned beef and
bread and coffee, on the rolling waves
must be something of a fine art.
