uuSTED PAPER AND .’

“Why are the newspapers so small
my?” asked Jack as Uncle Ted sat
m in a big arm chair near the win-,
any.
é" the newspapers are small, Jack,"
answered his Uncle, “because there is
as. little paper upon which to print

know that [or government branches to
furnish one person such large quantit-

'tico the committee adopted a resoli:
,tion limiting the number of copies or
one piece of printed matter to one per-
son. to fifty.
“This tells you a little of what this
committee has brought out and what
it is trying to do. The way paper was
wasted during the war by the gov-
ernment departments Was terrible.
When the 'edltors of small country
papers were having trouble to get
enough paper to print one issue 01
their paper they were receiving al-
most tons of printed stuff from Vl'asli-
ington which was absolutely useless
to them. If the government depart-
ments waste paper at a time when the
nvwspapers can hardly get enough to
print with. it not only looks bad but
is a mighty wrong thing to do. This
story shows you just another one- of;
the ways in which money and mater-'
ials have b'ccn wasted by the Wilson
.administratoin."
