NEWsPRINT SHORTAGE

The great shortage of newsprint paper is shown at still another angle by the introduction of bill in Con- gress, which if enacted, would limit all daily newspaper to "A pages. While this would not affect the News and similar papers, it goes to show that pulp wood from which the paper is made is rapidly diminishing and the price rising accordingly.
 The situation is far more serious than people generally believe and what the outcome will be few years hence, unless some material is found for a substitute, is not pleasant to contemplate. With paper prices several times larger than they were two or three years ago, it is almost impossible for the publisher to keep pace in any other way than increased business, which in itself is only a par tial remedy.
 Free pulp from Canada, cheaper coal and lower wages would undoubt- edly mean somewhat lower prices for a time. The only successful remedy however is for chemists to get busy and find way to make paper from a by-product-which> sounds simple but isn't.

THE LAST FRONTIER

The great Hudson's Bay Company, known throughout the world in fact and fiction, is closing out it's exten- sive holding of lands in Canada to farmers. For many years farmers have beheld these rich, fertile lands with covetous eyes, and now, after two and one-half centuries of suc- cessful business the company is mak- ing room for the steady advance of civilization by giving up their hold ings for agricultural pursuits.
 Fiction has woven so many won derful tales of interest around this company and it's operations, that one can but think with sadness that possi- bly, the last real frontier on the American continent will soon be gone and with it the romantic, picturesque natives, who, like those in the west, are now known only from books. But books feed only the imagination and the inner man requires something more substantial, therefore this land HIuSL HI LEW years pIOuuCS "doI quantities of food to help relieve a world shortage-even though it up roots the greatest institution of it's kind in the world.
 That this vast country was given by King Charles to the Hudson's Bay Company for 1.-two elks and two black beavers" seems almost unbe- Hevable. In transferring this land to Canada the company received an indemnity of $1,500,OO0. and land about its posts amounting to $50,O0O acres and retained one-twentieth of the land in the fertile belt, which comprises more than three million acres. Thus have what were nothing more or less than two empires been merged into one.
 The company still ships immense quantities of furs to England and probably will continue to do so for many years. Its motto "Pro Pelle Cutem"-skin for skin-still flies over it's many posts, in solemn warn ing to trappers and others that he who obtains credit to the extent of "many beaver skins" must settle in full with pelts after the trapping sea- son classes.

5 SCHOOL NOTES
The Star Spangled Banner

An American prisoner-of-war slowly paces the deck of British warship. The vessel, surrounded by the smoke; the booming of guns, hurls shells toward the shore, where may be dimly seen the outline of a fort. The man appears to be eager ly watching for some object which is hidden because of the darkness. Suddenly shell bursts directly over the fort, and as it lights up the Notifications he sees what he has been looking for. It is flag, and as the night wind blows it out from the pole it shines red, white and blue in the dying glare of the bursted shell.
 The man is Francis Scott Key, and as he gazes on the emblem of his fatherland, he is inspired to express his feelings in some other way than by words. He feels through his pockets, and his fingers rest upon an old letter. He pulls it out and be- gins to write upon the back of it. These are the words which are form ed upon the paper:
 "Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
 What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming."
 He writes on, stanza after stanza, guided by enthusiasm and earnest patriotism, until he has completed that masterpiece of famous songs, ''The Star-Spangled Banner"
 To-day that song is the National anthem of the United States of America. We have a nation of men like Francis Scott Key, who have fought through a great war in order that
