HOW WE HELPED OUT.
SATURDAY NIGHT.
Last year the Department of Commerce and
bor at Washington sent out a circular letter
manufacturers and business concerns, ask
ing them to save paper waste as part of a gen
eral plan of conservation of raw materials.
Stock for the manufacturers of paper was grow
ing scarcer every day, the Department said,"
and people were cautioned to save all paper
scraps and waste, old newspapers, magazines,
etc., to help out the supply. About the same
time, news print paper began advancing, due
to scarcity of pulp stock, so it was said, and
soon publishers began paying ro per cent more,
then an advance of 100 per cent, and now about
160 per cent.
We fell for the proposition, bought a baling
machine and a bundle of wire, and began to
pack and bale the waste paper formerly carted
off by the trash man. And we rather prided
ourselves on helping out the government the
manufacturers, and finally the great cause of
economy by contributing our mite to the gen
eral scheme of conservation.
Pride goeth before a fall, and ours went.
Our feeling of self-satisfaction began to ooze
away as the bales of paper accumulated. An
insurance man came along, and eyed them as
kance. “How long do you intend to keep that
stuff here?" he asked. "Oh, only until we get
enough to sell,” was the optimistic answer.
When we tried to sell, we struck a stump
Looking around for a market, we found there
was none. Inquiry among our friends on the
large dailies, where we knew they had been
packing paper waste for years, elicited the
frank admission that they had never found the
isle of paper waste profitable. We were refer
red to local junk dealers and given the names
of a few in distant cities who might be inter-
We wrote the junk dealers—only one replied
and he didn’t want paper shipped him. We
wrote several firms recommended, and got off
ers ranging from 2R to 40 cents per cwt. Then
we asked the railrodas for a rate. There was
more delay, more correspondence, and more
reference. Finally, one railroad advised that,
although the rates had recently advanced, and
while there was no provision for a low rate on
paper waste, they might haul it in carload lots
for about 42 cents per cwt,
In other words, taking the best offer we had,
the privilege was left us of paying for wire and

PETITION FOR CHARTER
A Nest of Squirrels.
Bud called to the Boy to bring the axe.
The call came from the bottom down the
orancb, a few hundred yards from the house.
He could be seen between the intervals of the
nines, far down the wiregrass covered, sloping
hillside, motioning for haste. The Boy hurried
to the woodpile, picked up the axe, dull, and
with splintered handle, and ran to him.
Bud had gone out at the noon hour, while the
horse was eating, to kill a squirrel or so; it was
a habifcof his. Fox squirrels, almost extinct in
this section now, were plentiful then. Bud was
a good shot, and with his muzzle-loader rarely
failed to bring in two or more. The squirrels
were readily found, needing no dog to trail
them, for they played from pine to pine and
often fed on the ground on the “mass” drop
ping from the opening pine-burrs.
Those were days when game was plentiful.
It was no trouble to kill all the fox squirrels
wanted—big, fat fellows, as large as four of the
swamp cat-squirrels of today; partridges were
so easy that ammunition was not wasted on
them unless they were caught huddled in cov
eys; deer roamed the hillsides and often came
within sight of the house in which Bud and the
Boy lived, and which was surrounded by the
pine forest. Across the branch, in the “new-
ground” field, deer jumped the rail fence and

Bud was dancing excitedly from one foot to

The hollow was away up, but could be easily
seen among the big limbs near the top. “I
know there is a nest there, and the tree is sure
hollow to the bottom. It can be cut down easy,
and I’ve a good notion to do it.”
Around the tree he circled, sounding it with
the axe. It didn’t sound very hollow, but he
was anxious to cut it, and wish lent aid to the
ear. It was a whopping big tree, all right,
about three feet through, but that wouldn’t
count for much if there was a big hollow. Cer

we find a customer for waste paper in bales.
At last, along came a junk man and offered
us enough for the stuff to pay the drayage. We
almost fell on his neck, and closed before he
had time for second thought.
Thinking he might want to buy again, we
kept on baling.
The oiher day, a delegation from the Fire
Prevention Society passed along, on a tour of in

Soon came back a red envelope, and the ad

and gave a few bales some swift kicks.
