Copyright. 1922
STOCKHOLM, July -Sweden's
principal commercial newspaper, the
Gothenburg Handels Tidningen, def
nitely announces the organization of
a company under the direction of
George Steele, which will take over
the sale in the United States of all
the print paper manufactured in Swe-
den. Norway and Finland
Mr.. Steele, who was formerly gen
eral manager of the Canadian Export
Paper Company, Limited, has been
canvassing the paper manufacturers
in Scandinavia for several months
seeking to enlist every producer in a
great American sales organization
eliminating scores of agents who now
handle the business in New York.
The Gothenburg newspaper says Mr.
Steele has succeeded, but inquiries to-
day at the headquarters of the Swed-
ish Manufacturers Association lead
to the belief that he has failed to get
all the Swedish producers, one big
concern having refused to join the
combination.

turn by the alien property custodian

tion.

belonged to the son or to the mother
as claimed by her.
The order of dismissal is without

.FILIBUSTER HELD CHEAP,
Voigt Denies His Fight Cost Tax
payers $2s1OOO.

Charges made on the floor of the
House that by his one-man filibuster
he had cost the taxpayers S2s1,00O
were replied to by Representative
Voigt of Wisconsin, in a statement
given out last night
"My filibuster did not cost the gov
ernment cent, except possibly a
charge for electric lights during two
night sessions" said Mr.. Voigt.
1.-The members of the House and all
employees are on an annual salary
basis, which was not increased or
decreased by the flibuster. 1t makes
no difference, so far as the House ex-
penditures are concerned, whether it
is in session one hour or ten hours
each day. 1t is not too much, in my
opinion, to ask that at least one-half
the membership of the House shall
be present attending to their official
business when legislation is under

Dear Folks:
When / was little unsalted pea
nut" and took my first trip to George
town I was turribly impressed with
the greatness Of our land! Later, on
skiddin' up to Moo York city I rully
and truly believed I'd seen the whole
works, while still later, after trekkin'
over the limitless domains of our in
comparable northwest I was thor
oughly convinced we had some United
States! Yet, not unail the other
night, when I heard DR.. Thomas E.
Green Of the American Red Cross
cut loose with a few computations on
the vastness of America, did l have
the slightest conception of what a
country we had!
Jumpin' geehosofat, folks! And es-
pecially that portion of you who've
begun to get skeery and are bel
lowin' wolf! Have you got the
faintest idea Of just what is meant
by the Z. S. of A! / ask, have you!
Do you know that in the one great
Lone Star state of Texas there's suffi-
cient room for all the peoples of all
the world! Yes sirree! Not only
room but space enough to give every
man. woman and che-ild of the L.
440,000,O00 souls accounted for in the
world last December, a town lot of
so feet front by $50 feet deep. and
yet leave ample ground to allow for
a ten-mile strip clean around the
whole state for all the standin' armies
Of the world to practice their ma
mowers! Did you know that! On
the level, didya!
Alaska Twice rs Big as Texas,
Or was you wise to the fact that
in the territory of Alaska Won could
slip two states of Texas and still have
ground left! Us there a reaItor in
the houseD
And did you know, when listennin'
to a mess of loose chatter about the
greatness of Europe, that after chop
PIN off all the territory west of the
Rocky Mountains. and tossin' the
whole of Moo England into the ocean,
there'd be enough land left in these
with the exception of Roosia, two
and a half times, with one-sixth
still remainin' for golf courses etc.
Come Tess up, was you on!
Or did you know that the mail
routes of America placed end to end
would reach to the moon and back
again, with a rural free delivery
every twenty-one miles, or that the
passenger trains in this country
hitched together would stretch three
and half times the distance to the
sun, or that last year the total sales
from chickens and eggs alone in
your land and my land amounted to
few millions more than one billion
dollars-yes, 1 said bullion. which be-
for mebbe you don't know it, but
there's only been a little over one
billion minutes elapsed since the
birth of Christ.

he anticipated no serious trouble
growing out of the railway strike,
but he is taking every precaution to
properly guard property. Vacations

tailed and additional men will be kept

Inspector Evans sent to the sew

you Will take every precaution to

maintained, which refers particularly
railroad properties. This applies to
Nos. 4, 5, 6, Z, s, 9, 10 and IL.
'Ia SO far as the terminal station
properties are concerned, it is the
understanding of this office that the
terminal authorities are making spe-
cial preparations to care for their
own in the event of a strike. 1t is
stated that several hundred special
officers will be brought in for this
purpose. This, however, does not
relieve this department in case of dis
order. and 1t is necessary that every
possible precaution be taken to pre-
vent the same.
stantly on the alert with a view of
securing information should any dis
order or depreciation on railroad prop
critics be contemplated, ana you will
keep these headquarters in close touch
with any developments.
1T is very important and extremely
necessary that the members of this
department conduct themselves, in
the event of strike, in an absolutely
neutral and impartial manner. They
must guard carefully their conduct in
this respect. in order that prejudice
to either side may not be charged, and
you will impress upon them the neces-
sity of governing themselves accord
