 matter of fact and Saskatchewan men were com-

WASTE PAPER AS A TREE SAVER. 



(American Lumberman) 

 It IS true, of course, that the demands for 

 paper are now rather heavily crowding the pres- 

 ent available capacity of present plants. There 

 are, however, plenty of sites for paper mills 

 within easy reach of many years' future supply. 

 Our use of present paper supplies is also of the 

 most wasteful sort imaginable. No rational ef- 

 fort has ever been made to gather up the once 

 used paper and remanufacture it. The process 

 is entirely practicable and economical, but the 

 trouble is that the "dear public" is expected to 

 gather up and tender the old newspapers as its 

 contribution to conservation, without any ade- 

 quate financial recompense. The price of 30 

 cents a hundred pounds for newspapers folded 

 and bundled, offered by the man in the alley 

 with the ramshackle wagon, dejected-looking 

 horse and suspicious spring scales, represents 

 $6 a ton, of which at least $1 is absorbed in the 

 actual cost of gathering, folding and bunlding 

 the papers. That leaves $5 a ton, and the fuel 

 value of such newspapers is more than that if 

 they are used in the furnace, especially for a 

 quick fire in warming up the house on a cold 

 morning. Why should the public save its old 

 papers under such circumstances?
