The enormous increases in wages. asgregating in some processes 100 per cent. above the prevailing rates of three or four years ago, coupled with a decrease in the working hours of 20 per cent, are re- sponsible both for the absence of se- rious labor troubles in this industry for some months as well as in part for the high prices to the consumer.
 Pulp and Paper.
 The sulphite producers in New England are reported well provided with pulp wood. but far-sighted men in this industry believe that unless a comprehensive program is initiated al once for the reforestation of potential lumber land, 20 years will see an ex- haustion of the pulp wod supply. The demand for sulphite. the product from pulp wood, seems to have reached a point where all of the production of the pulp mills, not only in the New EnSIanQ states, put some III CdnaGa is taken up. The foreign sulphites which were very prominent in the do- nestle markets prior to 1914. are now becoming available in good quantities and Canadian interests shortly expect to put more than 300 tons of bleached sulphite dialy on the market.

 You are to blame for letting him see you cry. I know it is hard, but a little joi1ying on serious subject will admire the good qualities in his friends. You are prone to let him know how much you adore him; that is a sad mistake with all women. It would be better if they kept them wise to the fact that there are many brilliant stars in the sky; that it was just streak of luck that they won their approval; but women don't do that way.

LOAN PAYS Bills
FOR SAVING LIVES
Director Franklin Shows That It
Was Americas Great Force of
Men and Munitions That
Forced German Surrender.

Lewis B. Franklin, director of the
Treasury Department. War Lean or
ganlzation, in an address before 400
Liberty Loan chairmen in Boston.
declared that the sacrifice of dol
lars in great expenditures AID the
production of war materials had been
the salvation of thousands of Ameri
can lives.
He declared that Germany realized
that tie vast accumulation Of mon
and material meant her annjhIlation
If she continued to fight and couse-
quently surrendered long before her
collapse was expected.
Mr.. Franklin pointed ont that the
enormous disbursements involved in
maintaining this 9 gantic Wat pro
gram had already consumed more
than $4,000, 100000 raised by the
Fourth Liberty Loan and made it es-
sential for a successful Finishing
Fifth victory losn to restore the
country to normal peace basis.
when l think Of whaJ New Eng
land did in the fourth loan said Mr.
Franklin, 4 have no thoughts Of fail
ure for the fifth loan in this federal
reserve district.
ut is a dangerous suggestion that
the banks Jake the burden of this
loan. 1t would hamper industry in
every direction. Factories which
turned to the government for financial
aid in their war material production
cannot return to a peacetime basis
on government aid, but must look to
the banks.
What can the banks do in such
cases il they are already over burd-
ened with government securit IS? The
thing to do is to take the loan out of
the banks and put it INFO The hands
of the people.
"Tha5 is what will relieve unem-
ployment and will result in better
wages. 1t will serve to bind more
strongly the community spirit which
is the salvation Of America"
In referring to the need Of the Vic
tory Loan, Mr.. Franklin pointed out
that the Wal production Of the United
States had hardly reached climax
