PRINT PAPER FAMINE.
Conditions in the Industry Never So
Dubious ss at Present.
Appleton, Wis.—Unless altogether
abnormal weather conditions prevail
practically throughout the United
States betwmen now and the first of
the new year this country, within six
weeks, will face a serious paper fam¬
ine, according to the best judgment
of the large paper manufacturers of
Wisconsin.
Conditions in the paper industry
have never been so dubious as at pres¬
ent, and it is said the constantly de¬
pleting water power streams through
out the paper-making districts, both
east and west, are adding daily to the
threatening aspect.

TO PROTECT FLORIDA
Increase in Duty on Citrus Fruits
Is Favored.
ft STARCH TRUST” UNDER FiRE
Trust Agents Admit That Corn Starch is
Sold in England For Less than
in the United States.
Washington, D. C.—The so-called
“Starch Trust” was under fire at the
bearing on tariff revision before the
house committee on ways and means.
The cross-examination of J. B. Wal¬
ton. representing the Corn Products
Refining Company, the so-called trust,
formed the most interesting incident
a p ph e hearing on the tariff schedule
«"•*•» »«*«««» and
provision. Citrus fruits also occupied
considerable attention.
Mr. Walton admitted that his com
pany sells com starch at a loss in the
United Kingdom, at a price forty cents
less than it is sold in this country.
Florida fruit growers gave the com¬
mittee information on citrus fruit,
pineapples and vegetables, especially
as affected by competition with Cuba,
and requested either the retention of
j the present tariff on these articles or
an increase in the duty.
The argument that -‘‘the states of
Florida. Arizona, Louisiana and Cali
fornia can in time produce all of the
citrus fruits used in the United States”
was put forth by E. P. Porcher of
Jacksonville, Fla., for a protective duty
on oranges and lemons.
'
j q. Chase, representing the Jack
sonville board of trade was urging
protection duty on citrus fruits when
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama asked:
1 “Do you believe in the general idea
0 f protection?”
“Yes,” was the reply, “so far as it
(j oes no t harm the people of the coun
try.”
‘‘Is that the attitude of the Jack
, sonville board of trade?” questioned
Mr ‘ Underwood
Mr. Chase answered affirmatively. 'the
« A nd it’s the attitude of all
people of Florida, isn’t it?” urged Mr.
j} 0lIte ]] ) republican member from llli
nois
Again the fruit grower agreed, add¬
ing: “Of ail the thinking people.”
“I just wanted to know about it,”
said Mr. Underwood, “because Flori¬
da gave its electoral vote for a party
; whose platform favors a tariff for rev¬
enue.”
Representatives Clark and Sparkman
of Florida asked leave of the cora
mittee to file briefs on the subject of
tariff on citrus fruit, and F. G. Me
■ Mullen for the Florida pineapple grow
ers, asked for a 70 per cent duty on
pineapples.
RE-UNION SCOTTISH RITE MASONS
To Be Held in Atlanta’s New Temple
Next Spring.
Atlanta, Ga.—The dedication of At¬
lanta's new Masonic Temple, now
about completed, will mark a general
revival among that branch of the Ma
son ic known as the Scot¬
tish Rite.
Plans are under way for a spring
re 'inion of the Scottish Rite to be
held in Atlatna next April, which will
bring to the city many of the distiu
gui.shed and prominent citizens of the
country, including Hon. James D. Rich
ardsen of Tennessee, the grand corn
mander of the southern jurisdiction,
and the full official divan of the su¬
preme council, the chief governing
body of tiie rite, whose headquarters
are at Washington, D. C.
During the -reunion the degrees of
,he ritc - f °urth to thirty-second, inelu
sive ’
wm be conferred wlth f u cer .
emonials for the first time in Atlanta
two on a hundred, dedicatory class of more than
tion representing every sec
of Georgia, and the handsome
and perfectly appointed apartments
of the rite on the upper floor of the
7 *y emple opened. Wili The be heated apartments and include formal*
the largest stage of modern const ruc
hundred mo^Uranm.e

exe “h r) lify the work, together with a
mammoth lighting plant, to cost an
proximately 12,000 have been closed
and will be installed as quickH as the
artists can complete the work the-e
en
It is safe to assume that nothing
so ambitious as this reunion has ever
been undertaken by Scottish Rite Ma
sons of the southern jurisdiction and
the indications are that Masonic stu
dents from all America will gather at
*••»». and enjoy t» the „ witness work.
