THIS is WOOD

Most pepole do not understand that
a newspaper is nothing but form of
wood.
Paper used to be made from rags
or esparto grass, but the demand for
newsprint paper was so large that
this raw material ran short, and
now wood pulp is used.
The wood is reduced to pulp and
treated chemically and appears as the
paper upon which this is printed.
This wood is usually spruce and fir. 1t
is found in the huge forests that ORR
ginally stretched across the sub-Arc-
tic and temperate zones of the North
ern Hemisphere
We have been using up this supply
very rapidly and now find that we
have been employing our capital and
not our increase.
The condition is very serious and
something must be done. Newspapers
have grown enormously in size and
are about reaching the limit of hui
man capacity to handle them.
Sunday papers are not. unusual rep
resenting a weight of over two and
half pounds.
In 1925 the United States consumed
almost three million tons of news
print, about one half of which came
from Canada, Great Britain cosumed
about $4,000 tons.
The demand is continually rising
as the constant growth of advertis-
ing requires more space as the popu-
lation expands consumption of print
ed matter especially newspapers, in
ereases in greater proportion.
We are already using in the world
about 100000 tons, and every ton
Of paper requires about one and a
half cords Of wood. SO we are using
up wood at the rate of over sixteen
million tons a year. The wood is also
being used for the manufacture of
cardboard, railway ties, pit props and
lumber
For the manufacture of one ton Of
artificial silk between three and four
cords Of pulp wood or about seven
tons weight, are required. The almost
unlimited expansion Of artificial silk
will add a very serious drain upon
the worlds already rapidly disap-
pearing pulp supply.
Timber limits in the United States
are already in sight of exhaustion.
No more newsprint mills are being
established and some already in exis-
tence are closing down. Ronald D.
Craig of Canada, said the ether day:
eve have been living on our CAPT
tai and squandering it with reckless
abandon. The present supply will be
used up in less than thirty years.
Only 81 per cent of our original for
est wealth is left"
Lord Rothermere, who controls the
Daily Mirror, the Daily Sketch, the
Sunday Pictorial and the Sunday
Herald in England, has set on foot
! IN the province Of Quebec, Canada, a
new pulp and paper undertaking.
! American newspapers must very
soon hit upon some means to main
tain their supply.-Exchange.

THKTsp POWERFUL SAVAGE
THE CUNNING BLUEFISH
Travels In Packs Like Wolves and Man Loves to Hunt The
"a Great Fighter-The Drone Bait in Trolling

+ at Point Pleasant, N. j., worlds
record bluefish caught on rod and
reel This monster tipped the scales
at eighteen pounds and gave the
former champion the greatest fish
battle he had ever experienced.
Mr.. Davis told the writer that
the year previous he had landed d
striped bass in the surf which
tipped the scales at fifty-eight
pounds and although this fish is
considered extremely game, it did
not give him half the battle that
the record bluefish did.
I'm fact" Mr.. Davis said, Il
never thought a fish of that weight
could be so powerful and game
At certain seasons of the year,
especially in the fall, bluefish run
close in to shore chasing the sand
cells well up on the beach. 1t is
then that the surfangler has the
time of his life The bats used are
either a lead squid or sand cells,
and if a big school happens to hit
in the fun is fast and furious, the
fish remaining in one locality for
sometimes a week gorging them
selves on the helpless little cells.
To hook bluefish is simple
enough, but to land him is quite
difficult. He has all sorts of tricks
and uses them to the best advan-
tage. The most expert fishermen
will tell you that if he lands one
blue out of three that takes hold
of his hook he considers himself
fortunate. They have a way of get
ting that hook out of their mouth
that is uncanny.
The only way to successfully land
bluefish once you hook him is
to keep reeling in as fast as pos,
sible. Keep him coming your way,
for once he gets his head turned
or swims ahead of your line it's
good bye bluefish.

DUCK SEASON GOOD

The wild water fowl season is
open and the prospects show that
this fall will provide the best small
game hunting in a decade. Jersey
sportsmen are expected to hang up
some new records this season, for
the State itself has broken a few
this year in the distribution of fish
and game in it's great restocking
program.
So far there is little likelihood
of there being any ducks to be had
except blackduck and mallarG
These breed around the tideponds
on the beaches and meadows, and
this time of the year are to be
found around their native haunts.
AS soon as there are a few sharp
days OF frosty weather the coots
or crow ducks will be coming down
the coast and stopping off Marsh
Elder Island and other good feed
ing places. They viii be followed
or accompanied by the rednecks,
broadbills and other early arrivals
of the duck family.

There are many expert anglers
! who contend that there is no fish
: quite so game as the bluefish. He
! is powerful, savage, cunning and to
land "A big fellow on the lightest
possible tackle is truly an achieve
ment.~,
Within the last week there have
been tremendous schools of these
fish off the Jersey coast. In fact,
a school of bluefish was reported
seen well off shore that fishermen
claim was four miles long and
equally wide The fish in this huge
mass ranged in weight from two
to six pounds and every available
dory along the Jersey shore was out
after them. some of the boats catch
ing as many as a hundred, by ang-
ling. The net fishermen made
cleanup bringing in boat loads any
where from 1000 to 1000 pounds.
The bluefish is merciless in his
desire to Stay, and icthyologlsts
claim that he kills his own weight
In other fish every day-that IS,
.ten-pound bluefish ruthlessly kills
ten pounds of other fish every day
of his existence He gorges himself
to the limit, spews it out, and then
fills up again.
They travel in packs like wolves,
or singly, and will run into school
of mossbunkers (menhaden,) weak
fish or other smaller fish, cutting
them to ribbons and dyeing the
water a deep crimson, but man
loves to hunt these fish, not only for
the excellent fight that they give
at the end of swaying rod, but
for the delectability of their flesh.
When broiled and served with
butter sauce they are hard to beat
for palatability.
The Drone Bait
There are a number of methods
for catching bluefish. The one UNI
versally used while boat fishing is
to troll slowly, say from three to
four miles an hour, using a fairly
light rod. tip weighing about six
ounces, 20 or 80 reel with an
automatic drag twe1ye-thread line
and squid made of either block
tin or cedar, trolled astern of the
boat from 100 to $50 feet. The lure
That has proved satisfactory in
the last few years is the Drone
bait, an artificial spoon resembling
a shoe horn in shape. This is trOlled
beneath the surface by adding two
to four ounces of lead, depending
on the depth at which the fish are
swimming.
Another method of off-shire fish
ing is to locate a school of blues,
chum them up close to the boat by
grinding up mossbunkers and throw
ing them overheard. The fish follow
the chum close to the boat. The
hook is baited with slab of
bunker and allowed to drift out
with the chum, as in cumming
with shrimp while weakfishing.
The same tackle is employed in
this sort of fishing as in trolling
for these blue devils.

 A total of 333 acts and 4a resolves will become law as result Of the ses- sion, which. while short proved ex- ceedingly stormy.
 During the closing hours, Cover nor Fuller vetoed the bill which would have provided a tax of two cents gallon on gasoline. The veto was sustained by the house, killing the measure.

GIRL THOUGHT TO HAVE SHOT MAN
Then Tried Suicide-This Is Theory in MorristoWn Case

Aorr'stown. x. J.. April oo LP,-A theory of murder and attempted suicide was being investigated by police today in the death Of Spen- Tor Hausor, S2 year old father of i've children, and the wounding of Nina Heller. 19 year old girl, in what was first believed to have been q suicide pact.
 The body of Hauser was found yesterday OH the floor of an apart ment he shared with the girl. On a bullet wound in the forehead. At the State hospital today it was said she would recover.
 \ note. apparently written by Iiauser to his father in Utica, \. l. indicated suicide but police ex- pressed dcubt as to it's authenti- city. They said the bullet which caused tIauser's death entered his head behind the right ear and could hardly have been fired by him. No powder marks were dis covered near the wound.
 The girl first told police Hauser shot her and then turned the gun on himself. but later sine declared she had shot Hauser and tried to end her own life.
