PAPER MADE FROM GRASS
Some people have wondered how
long it would bo before the newspa
pers of this country would have to
liadt their sise on account of the in-
creaelng cost and diminishing supply
of wood for pulp making, but down
in Florida they have already solved
that problem by utilising a mar
grass that grows ia great abundance
there. A special machine has been

Where the pulses of spring through
