Paper Makers Complain
of Scarcity of Rage

1t seems like barking back TO early
days that the manufacturers of high
grade papers have called on Secretary
Hoover of the Commerce department
to aid them in procuring a reserve
stock of rags Some of the mills had
less than a weeks supply on hand
when they made the request, and
none of them had any considerable
stock.
In the days following the Revoiu-
ton paper manufacturers advertised
in the newspapers urging housewives
to save their rags that they might
have a sufficient supply for their use.
This was before the discovery that
paper could be made from wood pulp,
says the Brockton Times.
In the early days of paper making
tombs were rifled and the wrappings of
mummies were converted into paper.
For many years most of the rag
stock for paper mills had come from
across the sea. Smyrna was the great
shipping point, and thousands of tons
were sent here every year.
Due perhaps to the prevailing pow
erty, Europe is sending less than half
the usual amount of rags. Probably
the people are still wearing them.

MODERN INCONVENIENCE

I HAVE Just had letter from Wat
L son, a rural friend of mine who con-
templates moving to town. and, know
Ing as he does that am an old settler
In my community, he asks me to help
him find a suitable place In which to
live. He wishes, he Says, "a medium
sized house with all the modern in
conveniences." Perhaps 1t Is only
slip of the pen for he is none too
erudite; possibly he was serious In
what he said; in either case l under
srand him.
There is a good deal said on occa-
sion concerning the discomforts and
privations which our pioneer ancestors
suffered-the meagerness of heat and
light and means Of communication with
the outside world with which they
had to put up. and the almost COM
plete lack of modern machinery.
| am not at all sure that the hard
ships of modern life are any less
severe than those my grandfather suf-
fered.
No man who has telephone in his
rupted leisure day or night. 1t was
raining this afternoon l could not go
out, I was alone, so l decided to do
little construction work In the base
ment. 1 had only settled down to
business when l heard the telephone
bell jangling. At first / decided to
sgnore 1t, but then il might be i'm

breaking my neck in an attempt to get
there before the caller rang off, only
to find that the operator had called
tie wrong number. l am not at all
convinced that the man who invented
the telephone conferred an unmixed
blessing upon humanity.
Electric lights are wonderful, but
We had to resort to the old-time can
dies the other night while the local
dynamos were being repaired. Water
pipes and automobiles and oil heat
ing plants bring their inconvenience
which sometimes outnumber their
comforts
l recently looked through modern
kitchen and laundry In a friends
house, equipped with every sort of la
bor-saving device. 1t would take a
graduate of an engineering college to
operate the machinery inrelligently. The
ordinary maid would electrocute her
self the first day she were turned
loose in such a machine shop.

ing surgeons.
He looked a man Of seven or eight
and thirty, and he bore his years
heavily. The eyes were lined and q
little sunken; the features, which Joan
had seen only few times during her
eighteen months of work at the hos
pital, exercised, as they had always
done, a rather repellent effect upon the
girl. The face was eminently cruel
and hard. Nevertheless the man OBJ
viously dominated the assembly.
He dominated her. She was much

acted upon her with a sort of hypnotic
effect not lessened by Lancaster's de-

She pulled the tray of instruments
out of the boiling water and set it
down upon the table by the side of
the bichloride solution. Lancaster,
who had been pulling On his rubber
gloves, came to her side and plunged
both hands into the antiseptic fluid.
There was look of self-conscious sat-
isfaction upon his face, and Joan
thought that every gesture and each
movement was designed to impress
the visitors. Presently she became
sure of 1t. The man was acting. A
feeling of disgust came over her.

Joan.

Domestic Sugar Supply

A $2,500O00 beet sugar factory is
projected for County Cork, Ireland,
that demands at least 1000 acres the
first year Present profit and future
economic dependence are the goal.
The farmers of the Milk River val
ley in Montana are guaranteeing al
most 1000 acres for a factory in 1925.
The great Billings factory uses the
product from much larger acreage,
paying the farmers up to $2,7OO 900
for beets in single year. Sugar in
dependence and profit is worth while
in any country. One of the most Wit
al factors in Germany's ability TO
carry on the war was her 300 sugar
factors. Without doubt this war mem
ory stimulated the Irish sugar idea.
The United States should continu.
ally encourage domestic sugar pro
duCtion in quantities, a sugar supply
adequate for either peace or war.
Whatever is now paid as a tariff tax
on sugar would otherwise have to be
paid in some other form of tax sup
port for the government. The mill.

proved it in Germany and are pre-
pairing to prove it in Ireland. - The
