USE OF PRINT
PAPER MOUNTS
Higher Prices Fail to Check
Rush of Orders AH Over
Country.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.—Consumption
of newsprint paper In the United States
during the last three months reached
a record-breaking point, along with
prices, the federal trad* commission re
ported in a statement Issued today. The
average cost of newsprint at mills at
the beginning of December was $3.90
a hundred, the commission reported, as
against $3.75 a year ago. In 1910 the
price was SI.BB, the lowest in several
years.
High prices failed to cut down the
consumption, however, and the commis
sion estimated that In 1919, 14 per cent
more newsprint was used than In 1918.
During the fourth quarter of 1919 par
ticularly, newsprint consumption was
running up, nnd the commission saio
that the increase then over the 'Similar
period In 1918 had been between 25 and
.0 per cent
December figures have not yet been
tabulated. In November, 1919, the 72T
publishers reporting to the commission
ised 161,002 tons of newsprint, compared
w itb 123,874 tons In November, 1918.

While the president and Mrs. Roose
velt were having “great fun at Pine
Knot,” the more extreme foes of Roose
velt In the senate were proposing a reso
lution of open censure directed against
him! This move was sidetracked by the
more cautious minds. In one small par
ticular. President Roosevelt reversed
himself at this time. He had taken a
stand against the motto, “In God We
Trust” on coins, insisting that such use
degraded the sentiment. A storm of pro
test arose and, in deference to the many
requests poured in upon him, the presi
dent signed the bill and the motto
stands. The republican national con
vention In Chicago nominated Taft on
June 18. 1908. Taft was Roosevelt’s can
didate, bnt a for the nomina
tion of Roosevelt himself was attempted.

John Burroughs and the Fly
ing Squirrels
Whitehouse. May 10, 1908.
Dearest Archie—Mother and I had great
fun at Pine Knot Mr. Burroughs, whom
I call Oom John, was with us and we
greatly enjoyed having him. But one
night he fell into great disgrace! The
flying squirrels that were there las!
Christmas had raised a brood, having
built a large uest inside of the room in
which John Burroughs slept. Os course
they held high carnival at night time.
Mother and I do not mind them at all,
and Indeed rather like to hear them
scrambling about, and then as a sequel
to a sudden frantic fight between two of
them, hearing or seeing one little fellow
come plump down to the floor and scuttle
off again to the wall. But one night they
waked up John Burroughs and he spent
a misguided hour hunting for the nest,
and when he found It took it down and
caught two of the young squirrels and
put them in a basket. The nest day
under mother’s direction I took them out,
getting my fingers somewhat bitten In
the process, and loosed them In our
room, where we had previously put back
the nest. I do not think John Bar
roughs profited by his misconduct, be
cause the squirrels were more active than
ever that night both In his room and
ours, the disturbance In their family af
fairs having evidently made them rest
less !
Beauty of Whitehouse Grounds
Whitehouse, May 17, 1908.
Quentin Is really doing pretty well"
with his baseball, and he Is perfectly
absorbed In It. He now occasionally
makes a base bit If the opposing pitcher
Is very bad; and his nine wins more
than one-half of its games.
The grounds are too lovely for any
thing, and spring Is here, or rather early
supimer, in full force. Mother’s flower
gardens are now as beautiful as possible,
and the Iron railings of the fences south
of them are covered with clematis and
roses In bloom. The trees are in full
foliage and the grass brilliant green, and
my friends, the warblers, are trooping
to the north In full force.
Quentin and a Beehive
Whitehouse, May 30, 1908.
Dearest Archie--Quentin has met with j
many adventures this week; in spite of
the fact that he has had a bad cough !
which has tended to interrupt the va
riety of his career. He has become
greatly Interested in bees, and the other
day started dowr to get a beehive from
somewhere, being accompanied by a
mongrel-looking small boy as to whose
name I Inquired. When repeated by
Quentin It was obviously an Italian
name. I asked who he was and Quentin
responded: “Oh, his father beeps a
fruit stand.” However, they got their
bees all right, and Quentin took the hive
up to a school exhibit. There some of
the bees got out and were left behind
("Poor homeless mlserables,” as Quentin
remarked of them), and yesterday they
at interval- .added greajt zest to life in
the classroom. The hive now reposes in
the garden and Scamp surveys it for
hours at , a time with absorbed interest.
After a while he will get to Investigating
It, and then he will find out more than he
expects to.
This afternoon Quentin was not allowed
to play ball because of his cough, so he
was keeping the score when a foul tip
caught him In the eye. It was quite a
bad blow, but Quentin was very plucky
about it and declined to go in until the
game wr.s finished, an hour or so later.
By that time his eye had completely shut
up and he now has a most magnificent
bandage around bis head over that eye,
and feels much like a baseball hero. I
came In after dinner to take a look at
him and to my immense amusement
found that he was lying flat on his back
in bed saying his prayers, while Made
moiselft was kneeling down. It took me
a moment or two to grasp the fact that
good mademoiselle wished to Impress on
him that It was not right to say his
prayers unless he knelt down, and as
that In this case he could not kneel down
she would do It In his place!
Quentin and the Pig
Whitehouse, Oct. 17, 1908.
Dearest Kermit—Quentin performed a
characteristic feat yesterday. He heard
that Schmidt, the animal man, wanted a
small pig, and decided that he would
turn as honest penny by supplying the
want So out in the neighborhood of his
school he called on an elderly dark, who,
he had seen, possessed little pigs; bought
one; popped It Into a bag; astutely
dodged the school—having a well-foUnded
distrust of how the boyß would feel to
ward bis passage with the pig—and took
the car for home. By that time the pig
had freed itself from the bag. and, as
he explained, he journeyed In with a
“small squeallsh pig” under his arm;
but as the conductor was a friend of hts
he. was not put off. He bought it for a
dollar and sold it to Schmidt for a dollar
and a quarter, and feels as if he had
found a permanent line of business.
Schmidt then festooned It In red ribbons
and sent it to parade the streets. I
gather that Quentin led It around for
part of the parade, hut he was somewhat
vague on this point, evidently being a
little uncertain as to our approval of
the move.
A Presidential Fall
Whitehouse. Nov. 8, 190.9.
Dearest Archie—Quentin is getting
along very well; he plays center on his
football eleven, nnd in a match for
juniors in tennis he got into the semi
finals. What is more Important, he
seems to he doing very well with his
studies, nnd to get on well with the hoys,
and is* evidently beginning to like the
school. He has shown himself very man
ly. Kermit is home now, and is a per
fect dear.
