Womanless Wedding.

There will be pulled off in the
R'ham Opera House, Monday May
24th, a "Womanless Wedding"
the actors being all men in vari-
Gus degrees Of longitude, ages
and widths.
1t will be a scream of a per-
formance-the costumes, or
rather the lack of costumes, for
the flower girls" are to wear
knee-length dress, being a
feature that will make the old
O. H. building rock to its base.

ing, will be Druggist L. G. Fox,
more lovingly called by his
friends Lucy" The groom is
the debonair John Scales-a typi-
cal long and short of it. The
mother of the bride is Will Nc
ERae-and the daughter comes
naturally by her six feet, seven.
The sanctimonious preacher is
w. N. Everett, and the affair
will be pulled off seriously and
according to order if the minis
ter can be kept from pulling an
original joke; he can be depend
ed upon to slip through some
thing not on the bill of fare.
The coy little ring-tearsr is
Attorney Ozmer L. Henry, and
this sweet-faced darling will
cover herself with glory as she
trips down the aisle, clad in knee
dress and bearing the ring con-
cealed in a lovely cabbage head.
The maid-of-honor is the di-
munitive Frederick w. Bynum.
DR.. Everett impersonates the
black nanny, leading the little
sister BILLY Everett) and little
brother Gene Payne) by the
hands.
The apogee of the affair will
be the flower girls; these are
Tom Leak, Bill Cole, John Hasty,
w. G. Lowry and Leak Coving-
ton. Daintily attired in abbrev-
lated Tarlton skirts, their come
ly limbs will cause many an en-.
vious sigh to flicker over the,
feminine portion of the audience

songs, dances, solos, etc., and it
will be a treat. The curtain
rises at $3.50. Admission is ST

u. S. Senate Acts In NewS Print
Situation; Shortage Is Craze

markable change has taken place in
10 a
: Two recommendation particularly
have been made by the department.
one Is that the wood pulp and news
print industry be developed In the
Pacific northwest and in southeastern
Alaska. The second Is that plans for
the perpetuation and inproduction of
timber, not only in the west but also
in the cast. be adopted.
The indications are that supplies of
wood pulp timber in New York and
New England will be completely OK
hausted In twenty years. and that IN
New York alone these supplies will
be gone In 10 years. In 1918. the
United States bought nearly 100000
tons Of wood pulp from Canada, and
prices advanced from $40 a cord TO
as high as S25. Before the war the
low cost of woodpulp and Their fac
tors that go into the manufacture of
n%ewsprint made the cheap daily news
paper possible.
The Importance Of the United
states being on an Independent basis
so FAR as n%ewsprint production is CON
cerned can readily be grasped. First
there Is the question of price. II the
country must depend upon foreign
souces Of supply either for wood
pulp or newsprfnt the American con-
sumer-in the end the American
reading public-wi1l be at the mercy
OF tho foreign manufacturer so far
as prices are concerned.

daily newspaper mas become as much
a part Of the life of the citizen as his
coffee and cereal for breakfast, OF
whatever else his palate calls for. And
now the daily newspaper supply i
threatened. There is a shortage of
newsprint paper, and prices for 1t have
scared. This is due In part 20 a grow
ing scarcity OF wood pulp from which
newsprint is manufactured.
The senate committee on agriculture
has before It "a bill introduced by Sena-
tor Poindexter of Washington, which
is designed to relieve the situation.
The measure has the approval OF the
department of agriculture and the
American forestry association, the aim
of which Is to protect American forests,
and at the same time see to 1T that
they produce the lumber and wood
pulp needed by the country. This
measure authorizes the secretary of
agriculture to make a n of pulp
wood lands on the public domain and
to prepare a plan for rcforestatton OF
wood pulp lands. II appropriates ST.
00O. 900 for these purposes.
The BILL goes further than this. It
permits the secretary to make n sur
vey of the classes and kinds of timber
existing on the public domain, in
Guiding the national forests. Indian

lands intermingled herewith which
are suitable for pulp wood for news
print and for other forms of paper.
In the opinion of the department
of agriculture, the measure offers the
first real opportunity TO get at the
fundamental Of the difficulties
connected with paper production.
The total American production of
woodpulp in 1918 was S.313,S61 tons.
The rapidity as well as the regularity
In the increase of neWsprint CON
sumption should receive particular
consideration as indicative of future
requirements, according to the depart
ment of agriculture. In 1899 the con
sumption in this country amounted to
569, 600 tons. and In 1918 1t had in
creased to 100000 tons, approx
mately 200 per cent. and almost regu-
larry at the rate Of 10 per cent annual
ly. The use of newsprint, therefore,
has beer increasing much more rapid
ly than the population.
The United States Is still n large ex-
porter of lumber, but in wood pulp 1t
has become n large importer. AS late
as 1909 the United States produced its
entire supply OF newsprint. In 1919.
the country had become dependent
upon foreign sources for two-thirds of
its newsprint or its raw materials.
Only o%ne-third of the American news
papers In 1919 were printed upon the
product OF American forests. This re

pulp has displaced practically all of
these materials. except in the better
grades of paper, which are still made
OF rags or special plant hbres.
The importance Of wood pulp in
tho manufacture of paper In the Unit
ed States is indicated In the percent
age of paper manufactured from that
material. In 1914 ~newsprint paper
comprised twenty-six per cent of all
the paper produced In this country
But In 1861 It had dropped to
