SCOUTS sTEAov.NG INFLUENCE.

Maj. Gen. Littleton w. T. Waller Of
the United States marines has watched
the Boy Scouts at work and this is
what he has to say Of them:
IF a lad lives up to the scout oath
he must of necessity become good
citizen, making his mark in lis gen.
GRAFTON.
1.-THE record of the graduates from
the scouts to the military service has
been excellent, record to thrill the
scouts with pride.
1.-THE Boy Scouts of America have
done splendid work in the efforts to
keep up men at the front In good
shape. In all the drives for Liberty
loans their work has been increasingly
valuable. The instruction received by
the lads spells preparedness for good
citizenship and for the living Of clean,
upright, moral lives.
IT am strongly in favor of the move
ment, especially ut this period of I'M
rest and uncertainty, when, vicious
propaganda is doing much to under
mine the content and happiness Of our
people. hope the movement may
wax stronger and stronger year by

SECRETARY ALEXANDER
URGES ALL PAPER SAVED

In referring to. his recent appeal
for the conservation of waste, Sec
rotary of Commerce Alexander made
the following statement, urging the
szving of all waste paper:
"Following my appeal of last week
tn save waste and turn it back into
Tie channels of trade, l wish to call
attention to the Importance OF saving
all waste paper.
attention has been called quite a
number of times lately to the vital
shortage in paper and if the general
public could realize how shortage
Of paper affects its daily life l feel
sure that saving and utilization OF
all waste paper would be made.
"Many of the better grades OF
waste paper are used as pure SUBJ
stitutes for ground wood pulp and are
wed in making all kinds of book,
bond, ledger and writing papers. II
this kind of waste was not used to
some extent, there would exist an
even greater shortage of wood pulp
from which most of our printing
papers and news print paper is made.
The waste paper used in the above
Est consists of old magazines, period
Eals, books and all kinds of printed
matter in general. Every pound OF
this waste that is saved and marketed
rkevents the use Of original wood
Pulp made direct from our trees.
The largest tonnage OF waste
paper is called Common mixed," and
consists Of any and every sort and
scrap of paper, such as newspapers,
waste from the offices, stores, public
buildings and the home. The chief
De of this kind of waste is for paper
boxes, roofing and building boards,
paper shipping containers (which
carry up to one hundred pounds Of
freight or express) and wrapping
PAPER. More than two million tons
II ordinary waste paper are used for
boxes and shipping containers alone.
Tie public il so accustomed to hav-
ing its goods in paper boxes that it
would be dumfounded to find their
NE seriously curtailed and this is
what will happen if we do not look
more toward the utilization of waste.
The use of waste papers for this pur-
pese prevents the consumption of
ever one billion feet Of lumber an
nual1y and is increasing daily. The
utilization Of waste must keep pace
with this to prevent a direct use Of
@r trees for the wood pulp. At the
rResent time there is very little wood

be thrown away or burned.
"The department Of commerce still
has on hand limited number of two
publications on waste reclamation
which it will be glad to send to in
terested persons. These publications
will show what one large city has
done to develop a city-wide system

 ATTEND HOLIDAY Jewish Folk at Tuscaloosa to Observe 'Chanukah" With
 Impressive Programme

Tuscaloosa, December 1.-tSpecial) The Jewish congregation of this city will celebrate Chanukah, an impressive holiday of their calendar, Sunday even ing, December 5. The observance of this service will consist in the reading of selections. which have been incor- porated in the Jewish ritual, attuned to the note of rejoicing on account of the triumph of right over might.
 This feast of dedication, as Chanu- kah is called, is comm emorative of events in Palestine. dating from 165 to 16s before the Christian era. There are many legends connected with the feast of Chanukah which find expression in different forms of celebration at this time. Chanukah, however. is to cele- brate the mastery of the spiritual over the material, the might of right over the strength of oppression. It is in- tended to keep before the faithful the great truth that few people dedicated to righteousness may overcome the strongest foes whose only law of life is might.

BULLS HAD THINGS
 THEIR OWN WAY ON THE
 CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE
By Associated Press

Chicago. December Brisk export de- man. together with crop damage advices from Argentina had decided bullish in- fluence today on the wheat market. Prices closed strong, 5dSAc net higher, with December s1.62q1. .62Jh and March, *l5SEQl.56. Corn gained 112ssc; oats, A@Ssc to 1c, and provisions 32a50c.
 Severe storms in Argentina put the wheat bears at a disadvantage at the outset especially as word of excessive rain in Australia had led to more or less apprehension that new supplies from the southern hemisphere might not be forth coming to such plentiful extent as q majority as traders have of late ap- parently assumed would be the case. Eagerness of export interests nneanwhiie to acquire wheat in the United States was seemingly indicated by an advance in bids and by the fact that 4S,o0O bushels were announced as having been cleared from New York for Russian Black sea destination. According to one authority, should exports from the United States continue on scale approaching those of the last four months domestic buyers might find themselves confronted with stringency before another crop is raised. Talk was current also that do- mestic stocks of wheat in country eleva- tors of the surplus producing states are low.
 Corn and oats were helped upward by entire absence of any deliveries here to- day on December contracts for corn.
 Provisions after some hestancy went upward with the grain.

New Orleans Cotton
By Associated Press


 New Orleans. December l.-Advances in the price of cotton today were due mainly to reports of improvement in the spot situation, although the very large export movement stimulated considerable demand. Highest prices came toward the end of the session following telegrams from the eastern belt telling of sales of large lots of low grade cotton to Caro- lima mills and telegrams from Texas telling of a larger business done. Heavy short covering followed the report that one Houston firm had sold 10000 bales for foreign export. At the highest lev els the trading months were 67 to sS points over the last prices of yesterday The market was closed at net gains Tor the day of 63 to 84 points January traded up to 15.eoc and closed at 15.45- The opening was higher on better ca bles than due and the better tone in the short demand.
 The advance persisted until it amounted to 61 to 70 points but around the mid dle of the day the weakness in the stock market and talk of continued heavy gin ming caused enough selling to reduce the gains to only to 2 points. This soft spot seemed to bring in more buyers than ever. Total foreign exports from all ports today were counted at ,s4a bales against 17.7s6 this day last year, bringing the movement thus far this week up to 224S17 bales against 1oS,5e' during the same period last year.

 Other dividend paying rails lost i to 3 poins and the less important shares l to points,
 aeavlness among steels was attributed 10 additional cutting of prices by inde- pendent producers and the break in cop pers was associated with the financial embarrassment of prominenet Canadian metal interests
 Shippings were among the first issues to recover with popular industrials and the entire market felt the influence of the rally in Southern Pacific which re- placed it's loss with net gain of one point
 Oils rose briskly on short covering, the Mexican group leading with a net gain of three for Mexican petroleum.
