Bemis home Mrs. Bemis had four
suit cases packed with personal ef-
fects, four letter files, some sheet

Newsprint Paper
Reaches High Water
Consumption Mark

Washington, Jan. 1-Consump.
ton of newsprint paper in the
United States during the last three
months reached a record breaking
point, along with prices. the fedora
trade commission reports. The av-
erage cost of newsprint at mills at
the beginning of December was $500
a hundred, the commission reported
as against 1915 a year ago. In 1915
the price was $l.SS, the lowest in
several years.
High prices failed to cut down
consumption, however, and the com
mission estimated that in 1919, ID
per cent mere newsprint was uscd
than in 1918. During the fourth
quarter of 1919, particularly, news
print consumption was running up
and the commission said that the
increase then over the similar perioG
in 1918 would be between Is and 50
per cent. December figures have
