Wood Used for Papermaking

Two-thirds of our pulp, used in max
ing paper, comes from spruce, fir and
hemlock. These three species supply
nearly all the raw material from which
the coarse paper used for newspapers
is made. Pasteboard and coarse wrap
Ding paper are made from pine. MOST
of the finer grades Of paper used FOR
magazines and books are from poplar
and hardwood trees.

A passing tourist car in Gibson
City, stopped on Route 8 by freight
train, detoured by dirt road over a
rough Nickel Plate crossing; the rear
trunk bounced open, losing few of
it's contents, which were picked up
by passing citizen, says a page one
story in a recent issue of the Gibson
(Ill.) Courier.
The next day came a letter from
the tourist, en- route through Iowa,
enclosing stamps and asking the Cour-
Ter to advertise for the missing ar
ticles, which were brought to the
newspaper office within three hours
after the paper was issued. The own
er lived in far away Las Vegas, N.
M, and a letter came several days
later expressing appreciation of the
Courier want-ad service.
Most valuable of the lost articles
were two tiny toys, one little bench
and the other wee cradle, both Of
wood and stained red. On the bottom
of the bench was written in ink:
MARY Ann Seidner, born 1859; 1885,"
Three-quarters Of century ago those
little toys were priced possessions of
Mary Ann, who little later was call
ed by the master to the land that is
fairer than day.
When Mary AIMS tiny finers ca
ressed those toys the great sweep Of
mountains and desert of the West
were but sparsely settled. New Next
co was not admitted to statehood until
nearly a half century later. One can
conjecture that she might have lived
some place in the east and that these
trinkets of bygone day were picked
up this summer by members Of the
family who were lured north by A
Century of Progress.

this end" the resolution continues,
''the members of this convention
assert that they do not ignore any
of the evils associated with the
abuses of liquor, either through
prohibition or State control; that
they know and abhor the evils
which exist in connection with the
old time saloon as well as with the
prohibition speakeasy, and that
they therefore pledge themselves
to support such restrictions of the
present Liquor Control Act as tend
to promote seemliness and decency
in those places where alcoholic
beverages may legally be consum-
ed by the glass, and to support es-
pecially those regulations and
principles of the Liquor Contril
Commission which are intended to
strike at the root of liquor abuses,
and to consistently support and
help to strengthen as may indicate
the liquor control system of this
State to the end already stated:
THE development of true temper
ance among individuals and the
promotion of honest and wise con-
troll free from abuses in the con-
duct of the States regulation. !"

PERU FREES G. w. SUTTON
Native of Smyrna Charged of NAL
administration of Fiscal Funds

Charges of maladministration of
fiscal funds against Charles w.
Sutton, 56-year-old native of
Smyrna, Delaware, have been drop
ped by order of the prosecutor of
the Court of Appeals at Lima,
Peru. Mr.. Sutton is a brother of
the late Miss Annie Sutton, who
died many years ago, having lived
in Smyrna with the family of John
@. Stockly. Sutton was formerly
chief of the reclamation commits
sion during the regime of former
President Leguia. His second
trial started June %, after the
Supreme Court, finding that lower
courts held the charges weak, or
dered the hearing to be completed
as rapidly as possible. Sutton was
first arrested in 1880. He has been
under contract with the Peruvian
Government since 1914 as chief
engineer in irrigation matters. In
1929 the Supreme Court extended
his contract until 1885. Mr.. SUIT
ton, formerly of Smyrna, has lived
in South American for many years,
where he has engaged in numerous
enterprises.

DEEPER CANAL ROUTE

Much interest is being had,
local and otherwise, over the
report that efforts are being
made to deepen and widen the
Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal from Delaware River
at Delaware City to the Ches-
apeake Bay at Chesapeake
City. Baltimore shipping and
civic interests are prompt to
take advantage Of the opening
offered by the pending FEEDER
al public works program in
pressing for improvement of
the Chesapeake and Delaware
Canal. From a sea-level wat
erway catering only to shall
low draft traffic, they would
have it widened and deepened
to ccom m o d a tie ocean
freighters, giving Maryland a
closer outlet to the sea and
speeding the passage of ships
which call at other North At
lantic ports. Wilmington and
Philadelphia would share the
benefits with Baltimore. Con-
struction Of the trans-JerSey
ship canal, with the closing of
the Delaware and Raritan
Canal, becomes more desir-
able than ever. These are
twin projects, completion Of
which would link all North
Atlantic ports between Bos-
ton and Norfolk by a protect
ed inside route. They could
be accomplished at minimum
cost at present price levels,
and the work would give en-
ployment to thousands Of
men.

NEXT WAR WILL
END SPEEDILY
New Devices in Air Warfare
Will Add To the Horrors

FIGHT WEEKS NOT YEARS

LondOn.-The next war will take
as many weeks as the last war took
years and civilization will be blot
ted out.
That is the picture Gen. Sir Ian
Hamilton, famous British military
leader and chief of the British le-
giOn, drew in a speech to the Brit
ish veterans of the World war.
AS you, being soldiers, probably
know" he reminded them, II made
first after the South African war
and next after the Manchurian war
some pretty good shots about the
World war and fOreshadowed big
guns, trench warfare, tanks, and
the disappearance from European
battlefelds of shock cavalry.
so now," he said, Il hope to gain
your credence for my forecast of
the course OF the next war which
won't be long in coming If the dis
armament conference breaks down.
"The war will be over in as many
weeks as your war took years. The
huge masses of infantry on either
side will never get into contact.
'The whole of the mechanical mo-
tor-driven forces of either side win
meet at once under the sea, in the
air, and on the land.
Each will be, must be, rushing
forward to seize an advanced base
for their airdromes and oil depots
on enemy soil. That first encounter
will almost certainly decide the war.
The victorious tanks and airplanes
will eat up the hostile infantry and
artillery as half a dozen heavily
armored knights of the wars of the
Jacquerie could and did eat up
thousand armed, but unarmored,
peasants.
Then they will begin TO lap Up
the civilian population as a cat laps
up cream, and perhaps the worst of
all these devils will be the civilian
plane laden with chemicals.
snow, you watch this disarna-
ment conference. If any nation,
your own or any other, begins to
haw or hum and make excuses to
obviate inspection and control by
the League Of Nations for its civil
aviation-then we are for war
mo nation is going to talk eco
nomics whilst death, for all 1t
knows, is hanging over It behind the
curtain Of the clouds. Unless this
concrete act Is taken by the
conference before it
breaks up no amount of slip-shod

The asparagus season has been
a failure according to the growers
and this condition is to be regret
ted because the growers were sad
ly in need of the early money to
assist in seeing them through to
the later crops like wheat, fruits
Of the trees, and corn. Most of
the growers have ceased cutting
the delectable vegetable and are

grow up to go to seed until the
next season. The disastrous sea-
son has brought about the decision
that SO far as the crop is affected,
prosperity still is at least one year
in the future.
In spite of the poor season real
lied by various growers elsewhere,
the strawberry prices in some
parts of the peninsula held firmly
in the markets with the rates
ranging from 8 to 10 cents per
quart. The choice fruit command
ed price of ten cents, and there
was no sign OF the price falling
below that figure. This gave the
growers profit and proved again
that only the finest berries are the
0nes to hold rm in a market of low
prices, due to the cause of so much T
fruit being offered along
With the prime quality and natur- +
ally comparison was odious.
