STUMPS MADE INTO PAPER
BY NEW PROCESS.

In order to utilize pine stumps on
cut-over and burned-over timber lands
in the south, process has been de-
vised that converts this material into
acceptable grades of paper. The
stumps are first put through a ma.
chine that removes any charcoal that
may be on them, and then go to ma
chimes that cut them into small
chips. The tar, turpentine, and resin
are next extracted, and the residue
converted into a pulp from which the
paper is made.

Here are some figures based on in
vestigations by the United States de-
partment of agriculture:
Six hundred bushels of corn and II
tons of hay will fatten $50 lambs
weighing S. pounds each and make
them weigh 80 pounds. This will
make double-deck carload
Four hundred and fifty bushels Of
corn and 2,750 pounds of tankage or
fish meal will fatten 70 hogs averag-
ing 100 pounds, to 200 pounds, MAX
ing carload.
One thousand one hundred bushels
of corn, 10 tons of alfalfa hay and
5 tons of straw will fatten 20 steers
averaging $50 pounds making them
gain 325 pounds each in 1870 days. This
is an average carload.

RIGHT TO FILL LIQUOR
PRESCRIPTION ASKED
California Druggists Case in Su-
preme Court Seeks to Upset
Local Limitation.

An entirely new feature of the
prohibition question has reached the
Supreme Court from California. 1t
involves the problem of whether
states can prohibit druggists from
filling physicians prescriptions which
call for the quantity of medicinal
liquor allowed by federal law.
While federal courts in New York
and Montana have been wrestling
with the question OF restricting the
quantity of liquor a physician may
prescribe. the courts of California
have sustained an ordinance of Los
Angeles limiting the quantity which
druggists may dispense upon any
prescription to eight liquid ounces.
That is half the amount which the
federal government has made the
maximum.
Merlin W. Hixson,. druggist of
Los Angeles, has asked the Supreme
Court to review his conviction for
violating the ordinance which he con-
tended was enacted prior to adoption
Of the eighteenth amendment and had
been nulIified when Congress passed
the prohibition enforcement law. He
declared his position as a druggist
was untenable when physicians were
permitted to issue prescriptions CALL
ing for one pint of intoxicating
liquor and he was restricted by the
city ordinance to dispensing one-half
the quantity the prescriptions called
for.

FOR WEEK IN JUNE
1,O21,77O Cars Loaded Is Higher
Mark Than That of Heavy
Period in October, 1920.

Freight traffic during the week end
ing June 80 was the heaviest ever

movement is greatest, and amounted
to 1,01S.539 carloads.
The June 80 record was a cumula

weeks in which car loadings had eX-
ceeded one million. The service divi-
sion statement added as a showing OF
railroad accomplishment that in spite
of the tremendous freight movement
