Newsprint, the paper, on which news papers are printed, is made from woodpulp, and about 80 per cent of the newsprint consumed in this country comes from Canada. The mills in Canada, as well as in this country, are running about 98 per cent capacity, we are told. It is prac tically impossible to establish news- certain school officials and politicians print mills since it requires four or succeed in securing millions in fed-! five years and an investment of from era! aid handouts for the support of <25 to 30 million dollars.

Lf B-O existed; then, nothing was said about it. He 1 home-grown tobacco, and never saw a cigarette. Grandpa got his sun-tan in the i cotton, corn, and wheat fields. He did without today’s necessary patent medicines. He worked from siin-u.) to sun-down and then some. His chil dren got part of Saturday afternoons of eacl} week for diversion, such as fishing, climbing '■ trees, and rabbit hunting in season. They worked all, 1 day too. Grandpa didn’t buy anything he could do without. He would use a horse collar and a set of gears till they wore out, and then he’d patch them nu and use them 3 more years. His, supsenders were made out of hickory stripes; he used bed-ticking for hamestrings, and he sharpened his plows and shoe’d his mules. Grandpa was a little weak on ma chinery. He bought a churning ma chine once; he owned only 1_cow ?md she was dry. He kept jiimself ijearly busted all the time by reason of the fact that he owned a saw-mill, gin, thresher, shingle mill, grist mill and sorghum mill. Yet, he he was happy and he had none of the things that we can’t do without now-a-days. BRIDGE CONTRACT LET Frank W. LaMotte, of Columbia, was awarded a contract during the week by the state highway depart ment for the construction of a 150- foot reinforced concrete bridge on route No. 560 over Bush river near Kinards.
