800 daily papers, will survive the next
six months unless there is drastic
change in the situation"
The sitaution is certainly serious. It
results from the unprecedented short
age of print paper, of which five
pounds are needed for every -four
pounds now being produced. Large
numbers of newspapers have been
driven out of business already by this
shortage-some LOO or them in the
past year. Many have succlmbed to
the high cost Of the paper. which
costs several hundred per cent more
than it did three years ago. Many
have been starved to death by their
inability to obtain paper at any
price.
The present system of distribution
makes it far harder for the small, re-
mote papers to get their supply than
for the big city papers, and they are
obliged to pay higher price for II.

SEATTLE MARKETS.

SEATTLE, Sept. 21.-The potato
market of the state is quiet, due in
the main to bearish crop reports is
sued daily by the government. Heavy
yields in all sections are forecast, and
unless at least 60 per cent of the CROP
of Washington can be shipped East
the market must remain weak, regard
less of the costs to growers of placing
sacked potatoes in the cars at shipping
points. Freight rates are too high to
make Eastern shipment possible al
the present market price. Some doubts
are now being felt as to whether there
will be an Eastern demand of any con
sequence until midwinter The bulk
of the Yakima Valley crop will be DUG
and warehoused or pitted. Aside from
demand for Delicious there is no ac-
tivity in apples.

BILLIONS INVESTED IN FARMS
Magnitude of Agricultural Industry
Must Be Reduced to Figures to
Be Appreciated.

"If all the farmers in the United
States should decide to go into some
other business-branch out, as we say
they could sell their live stock and
crops for one year, and with the mon
ey they receive buy all the railroads
in the United States, together with
all the rolling stock and other equip
ment," declared Secretary of Agricul-
ture Meredith before the United States
chamber of commerce at Atlantic City.
IF they wished to go out of the farm
ing business entirely, they could sell
their farms along with their crops and
live stock, and with the money they
receive, buy all the railroads, all the
manufacturing establishments, all the
mines and all the quarries in the Uni
ted States. In other words, it would
be just an even trade between the
farm property and all the other pro-
ductive property in the United States,
except the mercantile establishments.
They could with their income from
live stock and crops for a single year
pay practically the entire national
debt The investment in agriculture
amounts to about so billion dollars,
and last year the value of crops and
live stock aggregated % billion dol.

These misrepresentation clubs
that have become popular in England
and that are gaining foothold in this
country have advantages that may
make great international orders of
them. Membership, instead of calling
for an assessment, means only having

clothes are always more comfortable
than new ones. Moreover. rank must
necessarily depend on the condition of
the clothes, and that as time goes on
will become-shall we say ranker?-

She was older than the rest CT the
students and worked harder, fulfilling
an old dream that had been impos
sible before. She was used to work
Ing shyly in corner, and eating her
lunch alone. For silly whim, be-
cause she had been christened Dora,
and been always called Dolly, she had
decided to go to the dolls ball.
Next day she was back in her cor
ner at the academy trying hard with
an aching head, to make the inside
Of a church look like the inside of a
church instead Of like toy ball. All
around her the others talked of their
fun Of the night before. There was
much specializing On the masked doll
who had fled away at twelve-Cin-
derella stuff, the hilarious youth said.
At one o'clock as she was packing up
her paints she heard Charlotte shout:
There's Uncle John. Well make him
take us to lunch"
Miss Dearborn blushed and then
turned pale, forgetting that Mr.. Thurs
ton could not recognize her. She left
her corner, hurried by the long way
round so that she would not have to
cut across the room in the direct line
Of vision. She was out on the street
soon, breathing hard.
MI. TTbrrcton hnUnvor was awp rQ
of the slim figure, gliding along the
wall. 1t reminded him Of his masked
partner of the night before. When he
could interrupt Charlotte he said:
"Who sits over In that corner by the
discobolus?"
that's Miss Dearborn. She was here
a minute ago. Why? You needn't
think she was your Cinderella. She's
not young or pretty. Shes-she's just
Miss Dearborn. You'll have to look
further, Uncle Jack"
Uncle Jack thought he knew better,
but he kept his knowledge to himself.
He told Charlotte he would meet her
in the lobby, but by the time he
reached there no Miss Dearborn was
to be seen there or hurrying up the
street.
Better luck next time!" said Uncle
Jack to himself.
The next afternoon, Sunday, while
Miss Dearborn was working on the
sketch Of the church she had brought
home, the maid in great excitement
announced: "a gentleman to see you
MISS" 1t was the first time such
thing had happened.
Miss Dearborn patted her folds here
and there and went downstairs, won
dering. Fortunately, Uncle Jack had
his back to the window, and she was
well in the room by the time he turned
and saw her. Otherwise she would
have fled.
She gasped and then said quietly:
How do you do, Mr.. Thurston"
Uncle Jack took her hand and held
1t firmly. You are coming to tea with
me-" he said, Ito do some talking

partner was big, but at the same time
light on his feet. Instead Of a toy CO.'S
tune he wore evening clothes.
Through the small space her mask
allowed her she could see that he was
easily thirty-five, so, of course, not one
of the students; that he had friendly
face and was not handsome. all Of
which observations reassured her.
You're determined to keep your in

yourself away by speaking?' he asked

1t. She would never tell who she was.
She had been fool to come.
"Well," said Charlotte Buffem's
uncle again, aren't you ever going to
say word?"
NO" and Miss Dearborn smiled tam
talizingly up at him, I'm a doll and
dolls can't talk. They can listen,

IF that's the way yeu feel, I'll

the situation.
They danced most of the dances to-

CINDERELLA
STUFF
By L. M. HARRISON

&c, 1920. by Mcclure Newspaper syndicate.)
The big room looked like gigantic
and animated toy shop. Red, blue and
yellow balloons fioated aloft in haze
Of azure carleton. Huge jack-in-the-
boxes and humpty-dumptys stood
tauntingly about and man-sized
Noah peeped Unexpectedly out from
beside squat trees in green boxes. The
spring masquerade Of the Art academy,
this time toy hall, was In full swing.
The animated toys were having the
time of their lives-all but one who
was ON the point Of entering. Miss
Dearborn--that was the only name her
fellow students knew, not caring what
the d. which preceded the Dearborn
on her drawings stood for-Miss Dear
born pulled one reluctant foot after
the other into the gayety.
She was dressed like Cinderella 60
ing to the princes ball. Her dress had
been made not by the magic of fairy
godmother, but by her own fingers In
the small hours of the night before
out Of her gold tissue curtains.
Her shyness made her decide In
stantly to keep on the black mask she
was wearing, although she noticed
that no one else was wearing one. Live
dolls OF all sorts and sizes, teddy
bears and all the other animals Of the
nursery danced by her, footing horns,
blowing whistles, cracking whips and
making noises with other internal ma
chimes above which the orchestra
blnred its fox trots and Its values.
She was about to slip out through
the door before which she still stood
when deep voice at her elbow asked ::
"Won't you dance this with me?"
Miss Dearborn swung herself into
easy step without answering by more

Hundreds of
Millions Saved

the contracts were we'll under way a
serious power shortage developed.
Only 40 per cent of the necessary pow
er was available and the munitions
companies were forced to arrange
their shops so that they could use the
power in rotation.
This cut down the possible output
practically 60 per cent and the gov
eminent Immediately undertook to pro-
vide the additional power needed. Con-
tracts were made with three compa-
MES to supply 1,9OO,000,000 kilowatt
hours of electric power, which at the
ordinary New York rate would be
worth about $165,OOO,OOO. This meant
an increase Of 100000 horse power.
and the government agreed to assist in
financing the construction Of the new
power plants.
When the armistice came these
plants were not completed, and there
was a clause in the contracts where
by the government agreed to use pow
err for certain length of time. In ad-
eminent to pay its proportion Of the
cost of the plants on a basis of their
value three years after the signing of
peace. In settling these power con-
tracts all these factors had to be con-
sidered. The technical committee
solved the problems in manner
which was considered fair to all con-
cerned.
Rabbit Meat Problem.
In contrast to the power contracts
was the settlement of the rabbit-meat
claims. These arose from an excess
of patriotism and were not covered by
contracts. When food conservation
was being advertised as generally nee
essary, a philosophical citizen of
Hutchinson, Kan, received informa-
ton that the war department would
be glad to obtain a supply of rabbit
meat for the men in training camps.
History does not state just where the
Hutchinson man obtained this infor-
nation, but he made all speed for this
city and here obtained the financial
backing he needed.
Shortly afterward there began a
wholesale slaughter of rabbits in the
vicinity Of Hutchinson, Kan. Three
carloads of ammunition arrived there
and was distributed to all those who
agreed to procure rabbits. A packing
plant was erected, and there ensued
a perfect deluge of rabbits of all kinds,
from the domesticated Belgian hares
to the fleet-footed jackrabbits of the
western prairies.
AS soon as a carload Of cold-stor-
age rabbit meat was ready it was
shipped to nearby training camp.
To the dismay of the rabbit man, the
Quartermaster refused to accept 1t,
holding that at was not an article of
ISSUE" as government regulations have
it. 1t then developed that the war de-
partment could not use the rabbit meat
and the carload was shipped to this
city. The markets here refused to
absorb it, and in despair it was
shipped to England, the impression
being that the British were quite hun
CRY enough by that time to relish Kan
sas rabbit. However. fate interviewed,
the ship was set on fire by shells from
German U-boat and the rabbit meat
was entirely destroyed.
