To-day being the Fourth of July,
we have holiday and all of the fell
lows are either writing or taking
walks. Several of the fellows and my
self took n walk through the sur
rounding hills and valleys and saw
what a pretty place this really is.
From our camp we can see the green

FEDERAL BOARD
DECIDES TO CUT
SIZE OF PAPERS
Reading Matter Reduced and
No New Journals to Be
Established

Washington, Aug. IA paper
saving program. which is expected
to produce a noticeable decrease in
the size OF daily newspapers and a
large reduction in the bulk of Sun
day editions was decided upon by
the war industries board in agree
ment with the war committee of the
newspaper publishers.
The board also ruled that no new
newspapers shall be established dur
ing the war.
The paper curtailment agreed up
on effective August IL, is confined
wholly to reading matter, and is
based upon sliding scale of reduc-
tions drawn up by the publishers,
with the distinct understanding of
the government that the reduction
I'm the use of paper by newspapers
shall be 10 per cent. on weekday cdi-
tions and 20 per cent. on Sunday edi-
tions. while space devoted to paid
advertisements Is not included in the
sale of reductions, the size OF news
papers, experts say, must necessar-
lily be reduced somewhat If the pres
ent balance of reading matter and
advertising is to be preserved.
Paper Minis Essential
The government also announced
that the paper mills had been rec
ognized as an essential industry and
had been rated in the fourth class
for priority for coal.
Paper mills will be put upon the
priority list for coal conditional up
on their signing a pledge that they
will furnish no paper to any con-
sumner who will not alsb sign a pledge
in duplicate that he will exercise the
greatest possible economy in the
use of paper and will observe all
rules and regulations of the conser-
vation division and of the pulp and
paper section of the War Industries
Board. These pledges are now be-
ing prepared and Will be furnished
shortly. One copy will be left on
file with the mill and the other will
be sent to the board.
The recommendations of the pub
fishers as accepted by the pulp and
paper section of the War Industries
Board are expected to eliminate all
wasteful practices in paper consump-
ton. On October l, however, if the
reductions necessary are not accom-
plished by the present program, ad-
ditional curtailments will be put in
to effect. The plan also includes
regulations for cutting off waste in
the circulation of newspapers, many
of which were put in force by pub
fishers some time ago.
Scale of Reductions
The scale of reductions on reading
matter follows:
Reading matter consists of all
matter printed except paid advertise
ments, and the following schedules
are based upon a standard column
of 400 agate lines The following
curtailments are based on the aver
age amount of reading matter pub
lished during the six-months period
of January l to June so. 1918.
weekly editions Effective Au-
gust IL, 1918: Reduce reading mat
ter up to fifty columns 5 per cent
Reduce on additional space over fifty
columns and not over seventy COL
umns. IS per cent Reduce on addi-
tional space over seventy and not
over ninety columns 80 per cent. Re-

Coooanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what
you wash 1t with.
Most soaps and prepared sham
poos contain too much alkali. This
dries the scalp, makes the hair brit
tie, and is very harmful. Just plain
mulsified cocoanut oil (Which is pure
and entirely greaseless), is much
better than the most expensive SOAP
or anything else you can use for
shampooing, as this can't possibly
injure the hair.
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two
teaspoonfuls will make an abund-
ance of rich, creamy lather, and
cleanses the hair and scalp thor
oughly. The lather rinses out cas-
lily and removes every particle of
dust dirt. dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and
evenly, and dt leaves it fine and
silky, bright, fluffy and easy to man
age.
You can get mulsified cocoanut
oil at most any drug store. It is
very cheap, and a few ounces is
enough to last everyone in the fam
lily for months.

There Is q big Red Cross canteen
about mile from here and they
serve all the soldiers travelling to or
from the front with coffee and sand
wiches. The engineers here in this
camp have n good band and almost
every day we hear them playing.
Sunday mornings they give a short
concert at the Y. NJ. G. A before the
church services.
"A company of engineers adopted
a little French boy whose father and
mother were killed in an air raid and
he is learning English fast. He is Just
about five ykars old and they are go

Work in France, Writes
Corp. Richard F. Hamer

Here is part of n most entertaining
and newsy letter received from Cor
poral Richard #. Hamer. now in
France, formerly an employe of The
Telegraph Printing Company, by his
father:
I'VE have travelled through the
heart of France and our fellows are
now going to school hero for q few
weeks. France is a very pretty coun-
try and looks much like the old
Crited States with the exception of
the very old and artistic houses.
barns, fences and narrow street
cities, nearly all the latter paved with
cobblestones, over which the teams
rattle with loud noise. The French
people and the. French soldiers are
very cordial and try to be as pleasant
as possible but we have quite time
making them understand what we
want sometimes.
Every place we stopped and
through almost every town and city
we saw United States soldiers. Kaiser
Bill will soon see them in Hamburg
and Berlin If they keep on coming.
We are now at the biggest ordnance
depot in France and there are hun
dreds of ordnance men here work
ing.
AT first, when ordered here. we
thought we would be broken up, but
we will not be and we are all glad
OF it. The eats are fine and we get
plenty of everything. 1 was in the

She has been here for some time and

France May Open Homes
to Soldiers Of Her Allies

Paris, Aug. French homes may
be opened to soldiers from America,
the British dominions and the
French colonies under plans which
are now being studied. Civilian and
military authorities have the matter
in hand. and il is believed that
"Franco-Allied clubs" will be formed
so that people unable to open their
own homes may meet the allied SOL
diers on social footing. The CO.
operation already secured warrants
the hope that the plans will be rap
idly carried into effect.
Premier Clemenceau has given his
hearty approval to the idea. saying
it is excellent popular diplomacy"

HARVESTER SHARES ADVANCE

The rise of Il points in Interna-
tional Harvester of New Jersey yes
terday may have been the product
of speculative buying, but inquiry
among shareowners indicated that
il expressed their feeling in regard
to the settlement of the Govern
ment's suit. The pending return of
the organization to its old form is
not expected to result in any sort of
special benefit to owners of the
stock. 1t is believed, however, that
when the change is made, with a
part of the business disposed of. the
future of the unified company will be
satisfactory to investors who hold
the common and preferred shares
for the income they produce. In the
opinion of experts in selling agricul-
tural machinery, a vast field will lie
open before the manufacturers when
peace comes.
