WESTERN CLAY Is FOUND
 VALUABLE IN PAPER MAKING

Clay that is highly eolloidal has been found by the Forest Products Labora tory of the United States Department of Agriculture to be very valuable as a loading material for giving finish and printing qualities to paper.
 Previous to the discovery made by the laboratory at Madison, Wis this whitish clay found in large deposits in the Rocky Mountain region, has had little known use except as an excellent substitute for soap. In the past all the best clay used for loading paper has been imported. Experiments with the American clay from the West show that when this clay is aded to the English china clay generally used the paper produced has A superior finish and appearance and a more yelYety feel than where the English clay only is used

 In Michigan, even as far north as St. Joseph, early cherry pear and plum trees were in full bloom, but apples, and the small fruits-strawberrie and raspberries were considered fairly safe

Adyices tonight from central parts of the state say the temperature fl to 26 degrees, killing a large percentage of the early fruits that had survived the blizzard of 10 days ago. In genral, the early fruit was so far advanced that orchardists were very optimistic tonight
