Paper Makers Complain
of Scarcity of Rags

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 Revolu-
ton paper manufacturers advertised
In the newspapers urging housewives
to save their rags that they might
have 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 pa
per.
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.

Lying DoLun to Fly

To lie luxurlously on soft cushions
and thus pilot your own small air ma
chine Is the latest possibility In aerial
flight.
Tiny Arrears are being designed and
are to be tested In flight, in which the
narrow body, with wings on either
side, accommodates just one occu.
pant. lying prone. This will enable
the tiny engine to drive the machine
more swiftly through the air than
would be possible with the air-re-
slstance set up If body was pro-
vlded big enough for the pilot to
assume the ordinary sitting position.
Perfect comfort will, 1t Is claimed,
be assured by a sofalike reclining
frame. On this the pilot, enclosed In
his miniature machine, will lie face
downward, looking outward through a
front window or sideways and down
ward through other little windows.

WHY DRUGGISTS RECOMMEND
SWAMP-ROOT

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder medi.
cine.
1t is physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medi.
cine. 1t helps the kidneys, liver and
bladder do the work nature intended they
should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years
1t is sold by all druggists on its merit and
it should help you. No other kidney medi.
cine has so many friends.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation, send ten cents to DR..
kilmer 4 Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing, be sure

Nothing EUer Lost
BY Word of Praise

Say a word Of praise for an effort
made or result accomplished At
home, at work, or elsewhere, the man
who scatters words of praise helps
to keep the world moving forward
and men to reach the goal to which
they have set out.
A word of praise to the struggling
man is friendly hand behind the
back of climber up life's hill. The
road is long, the incline so steep that
the least push forward is a help.
A word of praise Is one Of the few
things in the world of which we pos
sess more in proportion to the amount
we give away. Let US not be stingy
in our passing out of kindly words.
This fellow with so bold an air,
with so hearty a laugh and with so
splendid a disposition may be put
ting up a front to hide financial trou-
bles, a sad heart as the result Of do
nestle complications or troubled
spirit because of some problem in his
life of which the world knows moth
ing.
Fellowship means interest in the

serious word Of kindness, Of praise,
Of encouragement. will fall on ears
which are hungry for it, sink into
hearts that are sad.

cerning the presidency of the United

No other responsibility approaches it.
When it is conferred by an over

thanks to all those who have con-
tributed to this result and plainly
acknowledge that it has been brought
to pass through the work Of a divine
providence of which | am but the

FIILLSIDERS DID UP
MOUNTAIN TOPPERS

Flagstaff high school football team
was defeated by Jerome high at Je-
rome last Saturday, this being their
second loss in five games played this
season. Score was 1856.
Jerome scored in the first quarter
with a well-paced drop kick from The
field by Alexander, following which
Flagstaff took brace and proceeded
TO take the ball on the kickoff, and
making their first downs, pushed the
ball to the three-yard line where the
end of the quarter delayed them push
ing it over until the beginning of the
second stanza. The trv for point was
blocked ard Flagstaff led at the mid
die Of the quarter until Jerome got
busy and pushed touchdown over in
the last few minutes of the first half.
Score, Jerome 10. Flagstaff 6.
The second half saw Jerome uncork
their smashing and running game to
good advantage and a touchdown in
the third quarter and two more in the
last brought the score to % for them.
Jerome has won three straight
game in the northern division race
for the championship and the game
with Clarl1dale on November II will
be the dec ding factor for the northern
Arizona championship. Clarkdale, to
date, has not lost a game and has only
been scored on by one of her oppon-
ents.

WEEKS BEST GOOD TURN

Chopping down live wires torn loose
by fire and forming a bucket brigade
to check flames threatening a row of
houses, was part of a recent good
turn Of thirty Albany, N. Y, Scouts.
The Scouts around an evening camp
fire at Camp Hawley heard the ring
ng of the alarm at Niverville, a mile
from camp. Immediately they set out
to see if they could help. Arriving at
the big fire, they divided into two
crews, assisting local firemen already
at work.
After cutting down live wires loos-
ened by the fire, which devastated one
home and threatened row of others,
The boys took their place in brigade
formation and rapidly passed buckets
Of water along the line to several of
heir comrades stationed on the roof,
The boys remained on duty until the
fire was out. Then they hiked back
TO their tents, where the camp clocks
told them that their strenuous errand
had concluded at 2 a. m.
A downfall is usually caused by the
lDkeep of bad habits.
