HALF TON OF PAPER YEARLY
USED BY AVERAGE FAMILY

The average American family con-
sumes more than half ton of paper
costing about $40 in year, accord
ing to economists of the Forest Ser
vice, United States Department of
Agriculture.
The total consumption in the
United States In 1887 was shown by
census figures to be nearly 10000
900 tons of paper-more than half
the paper produced in the world.
The figure is the highest ever re-
ported for one nation. Paper con-
sumption in the United States has
practically doubled in the last 15
years. the Forest Service reports.
OF the 246 pounds of paper con-
sumed or used by the average per-
son, about 100 pounds represented
newspapers, books, and writing pap
err. The remainder was used as car
tons building boards, wrapping pap
ers, and numerous miscellaneous
products.
The Forest Service points out that
fourth-fifths OF the paper consumed
here was made in the United States.
The remainder was imported prin-
cipally in the form of newsprint, of
which about 100000 tons came
from Canada.
In addition to the imports Of pap
err, large quantities of pulpwool and
wood pulp of certain kinds are i'm
ported annually for manufacture
into paper in New England, New,
York, Pennsylvania, and the Lakes
States. About half of the wood fiber
used in paper in the United States is
grown on foreign soil.
Spruce, hemlock, and fir furnish
three-fourths of the wood fiber.
Rough estimates indicate that the
paper used in 1887 required the cut
ting of pulpwood on 100000 acres
of land in the United States, Canada,
and northwestern Europe.

TRAFFIC TIPS FOR MOTORISTS
Nn THE NEW WORK FAIR

"Tarffic tips" to local motorists
planning to visit the New York's
Fair are given by the Keystone
Automobile Club.
Traffic regulations in New York
City differ materially from those we
are accustomed to-" said George E
Keneipp, Manager of the Club. "Of
major Importance is the require
ment for stopping at any intersec-
ton the motorists is approaching
when a traffic light in the syn
chronized system turns red, even
though the light may be square or
two squares distant.
"The 'synchronized system en-
braces a number of traffic lights OPP
Grated alternately on red and green
and controlling traffic at all inter-
sections in the area between the first
and last light, although the signals
are not erected at every intersec-
ton. Most of the New York City
lights are on this system. Where
the progressive system is installed,
motorists are expected to stop only
at intersections thus controlled. The
same rule applies where isolated
signals are in operation.
"Another important factor to be
remembered is that most of the
New York traffic signals display only
two colors, red and green, with a
brief dark period between. There is
no warning amber, and drivers must
be on the alert to- detect the change
from green to red.
"Chropic horn blowers are eau
toned to go light on their noise
makers, city ordinance forbidding
the use of horns except to warn an
animal or person of danger"

Californian Assemblies
Radio on a Common Pin

SAN DIEGO, CALIF.-Albert l..
Marques, San Diego's most amaz-
ing radio fan, has just completed
assembling another radio-this one
on common pin.
Another of his sets is in the end
of lead pencil where an eraser is
generally imbedded and still anoth-
er constructed in a novelty banjo
about two inches long.
The radios are, of course, crystal
sets. Marques mounts the little
crystal detectors for rectifying the
radio currents upon the smallest
possible objects, then attaches tiny
connections for ear phones, ground
and aerial, emitting tuning coils.
Marques began the hobby sever
al years ago while living in Arizona.
Incidentally, his reception from two
local stations and two nearby sta
tons in Mexico is quite all right,
thank you.

FARMING IN 1889

A survey made by the Dairymen's
League News indicates that the bulk
of farmers, farm leaders and agri-
culturaleconomists believe that agri-
culture faces a better year in 1889
and that marketing cooperation will
be a dominant factor in thu inn
provement.
Typical comment comes from Ma
tional Grange Master, L. ]. Taber,
who says: Organization remains
the challenge of farmers everywhere,
and especially dairymen."
The Dairymen's League Coopera-
tive Association is fine ext mple of
aggressive, business-like marketing
organization.
1t has been strong influence in
obtaining favorable agricultural leg
islation. And 1t has earned nation
wide credit for the consistent pro-
gress 1t has made on behalf of its
members.

CHICAGO.-There are practically
as many taxing agencies in the
United States as the nations total

shows.
In a study of modern-day taxa
ton, the commissioner women's

HOW ABOUT GROWING FLOWERS
IN THE VEGETABLE
GARDEN

To save time and care in grow
ing flowers around the farm home,
many families find it practical to
grow at least a part of their annual
towering plants in rows in veget-
able garden, where cultivation by
hoe or horse cultivator will he easier
than in flower beds.
In suggesting this method. Wal
ter r. Ballard, specialist in horti-
culture for the University of Mary
land Extension Service, points out
that 1t is often a work saver to fill
most of the space reserved for fiow-
ers, and long-lived plants such as
irises, peonies, daffodils, day lilies,
pyrethrums and chrysanthemums.
Other plants that go well in per-
mananent flower beds are those that
usually reseed from year to year
hollylocks, petunias, shasta daisies,
larkspurs, and cornfiowers. With
these it is only necessary to hoe out
surplus plants after cultivation has
been delayed long enough to give
the scattered seed chance to
sprout.
Many of the favorite annual flow
ers, such as zinnias, marigolds, cal
liopsis, cosmos, and California pop
pie, can be planted in rows like
vegetables, convenient for cultiva-
ton, easy to gather for cut flowers,
and pleasant to the eye when work.
ing in the garden. Many of the an
uals bloom most freely and for the
longest period if kept closely picked
and not allowed to ripen seed. If
these are planted in the vegetable
garden, it is easy to gather a wealth
of fine flowers without injuring the
display in the flower beds and bord-
er paintings around the house. ~.

The Little Things

Oh, it's just the little homely
things, the unobtrusive friendly
things, the "won't-you-let-me-help-
YOU things that make our pathway
light. And it's just the jolly, jok-
ing things, the 'never-mind-the-
trouble" things, the ''laugh-with-me-
it's-funny" things, that make the
world seem bright. For all the
countless famous things, the WON
drous record-breaking things, those
"never-can-be-equalled" things, that
all the papers cite, are not like
little human things, the everyday
encountered" things, the "just-be-
cause-I-like-you" things that make
us happy-like. So, here's to all the
little things, the Observation-Disclosures
gotten things, those "oh-it's-sim-
ply-nothing" things that make life
worth the fight.

DAUGHTERS OF THE AMERICAN
REVOLUTION
J. E. Jones

Washington, D. c., May When
Washington was a hick town be-
fore the World War and only half
it's present population the biggest
event of the year was the annual
convention of the Daughters of the
American Revolution. Despite the
the fact that the Daughters of pre-
war days have raised new daughters
of their own, and that the scheme
that qualified for membership rolls
down the ages like a, SNOWFALL, the
old institution isn't what it used to
be. During the Taft Administration
the Japanese cherry trees were
planted, ana in a quarter OF a CEN
fury they have become the Capitals
leading confusion. The only thing
worse than that was the National
Recovery Administration under Cen
eral Hugh Johnson. He brought
thousands of taxpayers Ito town"
and scolded so hard that they obey
ed orders.
Seriously, the Daughters always
produce healthy and patriotic ma
tional sentiment. This year they
have been making the Liberty Bell
ring out their demands.
Mrs. Roosevelt recently resigned
from the organization, and when
the women arrived she flew to Seat
tie. On the whole our impression is,
after watching them perform, for
many years, that they are grand old
girls.

A Lot OF Money

At the turn of the century auto
MODELLING was looked upon 40 lux
ventionI grew into the nations great
ury that only rich men could enjoy.
1t didn't turn out that way. Like
Jack and his beanstalk the new in
ventors grew into the nations great
est industry until motor plants are
now spending one billion dollars an
hour for materials, parts and sup
plies, a sum that splits into about
20 thousand dollars a minute.
Every State in the Union gets part
ct the money, according to the auto
mobile manufacturers that trace the
materials to the aiigora goats of
Texas, the iron ranges of Lake Sup
erior, and back to the cotton grow
ers of the South, and lumber, steel
and textile mills.
To this piece of industrial news
the layman can add with a truth
fortified by the experiences of nearly
100 million people that you amt
seen nothing yet" Most people who
have moved forward with the new
scientific. age and it's startling
changes will agree that 1t would be
just as hard to get along without
razors and curriers', as without auto
mobiles.

Decorating the Spanish Home

Spanish architecture as used in
America can usually be traced to
the early Spanish mission. 1t came
into use in the early part of the
Eighteenth century in the states adj

to blend with the Spanish tile color

The Issue

The substance of President Roos-
evelt's communication to Hitler and
Mussolini sums up in one paragraph,
clearly expressive when he said
that if the threats of the use OF
arms continue, it seems inevitable
that much of the world must become
involved in common ruin; and that
all the world, victor nations, van
pushed and neutral nations will
suffer. The President declared: Il
refuse to believe that the world is,
of necessary, such prisoner of des-
tiny"
Washington officials do not diff
fer greatly with the Roosevelt state
ments. Nevertheless, the President is
being very severely criticized by
friends and foes, for his failure to
consult Congressional and other
leaders before committing the Amer
lean people definitely to the Execu-
tive personal views and declarations.

Black Coal

Two years ago wage and work
ing hours were agreed upon for en-
ployment in the coal fields. Only re-
duced employment remained an is
sue. The most recent trouble came
out of the union demands for a
closed shop, and resistance by the
union to the plan under which min
ers are assessed by the company
from 81 to 81 day when they
strike in violation of contract. The
public is led to believe that that
was all there was at stake in the
way of renewal of the dispute be-
tween the mine operators and the
employers.

There is much agitation for taxa
ton of salaries of state and federal
officials and employees on the same
basis as the income of the private
citizens who earn the money to pay
their salaries. It's difficult to un-
derstand how a member of Con.
gress, or state legislator, or public
employee can ask for or justify
such an exemption.

Total milk produced on Maryland
farms last year is estimated at $780,
100000 pounds or about percent
more than the 79O,000,0O0 pounds
produced in 1897, according to the
Maryland Crop Reporting Service
The rise in 1898 was due to more
milk cows on farms and a larger
production per cow than in 1887.
The 1888 production per cow in
herd was 4,450 pounds.
