Your edition, giving detailed
account of the Times, life history,
reached me few days-ago. It sure
proved very interesting to me, for
[ gathered much historical data
from it, that I never knew before.

the weather bureau today, for it
is nice and cool for a change, with

CUT OUT THE MARGIN
That Is Advice of Esbon Woman on
Paper Used at School.

Extravagance in the use of paper in
the public schools is made the subject
of a letter received today by the State
Journal from a woman Of Esbon, Kan.
She writes:
st have been reading of the paper
shortage in the State Journal. and
every time see anything on the sub
ject wonder why the school children
are compelled to waste SO much pa
per. OF every sheet of paper they
buy. the greater part of it is wasted,
in order to achieve "peatness." A
wide space has to be allowed at the
top, wide margin at the side, and a
large space between the answers or
statements, and only one side Of the
paper is used. At that rate, about
four-fifths of each sheet of paper is
wasted. The amount required costs
from 20 to go cents a month for each
pupil. When there are a number of
pupils from one family in school, the
sum to be spent for paper mounts up
pretty high.
I'VE hear good deal, too, about
the scarcity of rubber. The boys in
our, town are. buying new fruit jar
rubbers to cut into pieces to use as
loads for shooters" I should think
this waste and the waste of paper
might be stopped if there is such a
scarcity of both rubber and PAPER"

No Labor Surplus.
McAdoo states that there is no sur
the railroads, and that there is no ex-
cess supply of labor from which new
employees can be drawn to replace
thosa who may be taken for military
service. Employees in these classes
cannot be supplied by the employment
ana training OF new workers. Ffac-
tically without exception these occupa-
tiens are not suited to women. but
able bodied and vigorous men are
needed for the discharge of the duties
These men are not available in ade-
quate numbers,sandswill become less
and less available as the war pro-
crosses.
The administration is taking very
aggressive steps to see that the neces-
sary employees are given deferred
classification. II the incumbent does
not make the claim the federal mana
gt or the appropriate superior of the
incumbent in question should himself
make the claim on behalf of the
United States railroad administration.
Should Use Discretion.
The federal manager should exercise
the greatest care and discretion in OBJ
tanning deferred classification for
those clearly necessary, while refrain
ing from taking this step in other
cases. Where given position can be
reasonably filled by promotion or by
the employment of an outsider. male
or female. no effort to secure deferred
classification should be made. The
mere question of Inconvenience or in
creased expense is not sufficient for
regarding an employe as necessary.

lime helps most soils by improving the
