Decrease Shown in German Birth and Morality Kates. Berlin. Oct. 15.—Germany's birth rate for the second quarter of 1025 shows a decided decline, according to official fig ures for 4t> German cities. In the cor responding quarter of 11122 there were 75.720 children born, as against t>5.024 this year. For the first quarter of 11125 the number of children horn was (>0.t!50. The birth rate is now down almost to tlie lowest level of the war period. Com menting on the figures the medical week ly says: "As there is a firm ratio between the dollar rate and the birth statistics a fur ther big decline is expected." On the other hand the mortality rate is not wo high for the second quarter of this year as it was in 1H22. 'flu-re were only 52.441! deaths, ill the second quarter of tltis year as contrasted with 55.545 for the same period last year. .V minute of keeping your month shut is worth an hour of explanations.

MERRIAM, Ttiblishe r. Southern Ruralist. Atlanta. Ga.) We take our newspaper as a matter of course. It continues to mine and we read it without giving a thought to the enormous industry which manufac tures the paper on which it is printed. I knew there were paper mills. I lmd seen this paper in big rolls go to _the printing presses ami ihc finished papers turned out by the thousands, but I had a very faint conception of how this pa - per was made. When, therefore, the International Paper Company invited me. together with a number of newspaper, publishers, to visit their big new mill j at Three Rivers, Canada, I jumped at ; the opportunity. As a matter, of fact.) I wanted to see what Canada was like ! anyway. There were so many pleasant and in- j terestiing things crowded into the three j days we spent ill Canada that it seemed to me more like three weeks and 1 can’t begin to tell you all about it in this ar ticle. We arrived in Montreal in the morning had breakfast at the Windsor Hotel and then boarded the company's steam yacht for a trip down the St. Lawrence. SO miles to the mill at t Three Rivers. We had lunch on the boat and for* those who desired, and nearly every one appeared to desire, also liquid refresh ments. Os course, you know there is no prohibition in Canada, but strong li quor. such as whisky, is only sold in bot tles. They have what they call Tav- > erns where light wines and bon* are s. Id , by the glass. However. 1 did not start pi to discuss the liquor question, but 1 j must add that I failed to see a single i drunken Canadian during my three days' visit. You know, the St. Lawrence is a won derful river. It is so much bigger than one’s preconceived idea of it. Even when you get down tot Quebec where they took us next day and where the; big ocean steamers (look, and they have tide water, you are still over tiOO mites j from the Atlantic Ocean. We arrived at Three Rivers about four j o'clock and the first thing that struck ] my eye was the wood pile. I had seen f what 1 though was a big wood pile. 1 j used to have one when I lived on the I farm—but this pile! As a matter of j fai t, there were .three piles from SO to j 100 feet high covering altogether about ten acres of ground. Over fifty tlious- ! and cords. Now think about that! Y'ou i see. this big mill chews up and turns j into while paper 400 cords of wood a \ day. Four hundred cords of wood go j in at one end. and 500 tons of tiewspa- j per comes out at the other end: so it : takes quite a lot of wood to keep it going day and night for 500 days in the year, and it keeps going all the time, using three shifts of men. The city of Three Hirers is located at the junction of the St. Maurice with the St. Lawrence—they call it Three Rivers because the Sr. Maurice divides into three branches where it empties into the St. Lawrence. The city lias a pop-! illation of around 20.000, over seventy- I five per cent, of which are French. This j gives it a French’, atmosphere, which is j quite delightful. You almost imagine you are in a foreign country and find ! yourself trying to dig up what few French I words you know. Rut. my! how I am! getting away from the mill again. The St. Maurice river, comes from away back in the Norili Woods, nearly j two hundred miles and along its course the International Paper Company owns! 1.758.000 acres of timber land, about j 2.700 square miles. Enough timber, if cut carefully and taken care of as they I are now doing/ to keep this mill running ! perpetually. This land represents a j value of from $l'T»,000.000.00 to S2O.- j 000,000.00. while the mill itself repre-1 scuts an investment of $10,000,000.00, which will give you some idea of the! enormous size of the enterprise. It seems that the International Paper 1 Company made money during the war j period, like many of the rest of us, but i instead of paying dividends, they put I this money into this big new mill in or-: der to insure a supply of newspaper: to | their customers at a reasonable price. | They have 50 other mills in the United' Stales, but many of them were running ! short of timber, their machines were! small and out of date, for making news paper. so it was costing too much to make newspaper at these mills and they started this new enterprise, where they already owned the timber, that you and I might continue to receive our daily newspaper at a reasonable price. slost of flic timber is cut during the winter and brought down the river in a big drive in the spring. In this way they get the logs to the mill very cheaply. There was a big boom, or enclosed place, in Ihc river below the mill where the logs were Hoated up to tlie elvator or moving track which picked up one log after another: and the men kept the logs pushed up so that there was a contin uous procession going up into the mill all the time. , Up at the top of this elevator were four big circular saws and as the logs came over they cut crossways into four foot length, two two-foot lengths and a butt. Some of this wood went into the mill, but the larger part, after hav ing the bark taken off. was conveyed by a carrier up to the top of one of these enormous wood piles. It is tlresc big wood piles that come in to keep the mill running all the winter. 'Veil, after being cut, the four-foot sticks go through a big revolving drum which takes the bark off by the pieces rubbing against each other, as they come out they are sent on their way to the wood pile or the mill, and any piece that isn't clean of bark is pulled out and sent through again. The shorter pieces are barked on machines with revolving knives. Here an operator handles each piece. From here we went to take a look at the transformers. The mill is operated by hydro-electric power generated avqy up the St. Maurice' river and sent down on high tension wires, and enormous power is required to operate the ma chines, especially the grinding mill. Here the four-foot sticks of woods are fed into a hopper at the top and come out at the bottob soft, white, fine pulp like mush. , The wood iq ground by forcing it against enormous grinding stones tam ing with tremendous speed. As near as I could estimate these grindstones were about five feet high and four or six long, each connected directly to a powerful motor. Water was kept running on this wood and stone, but the speed was so great that the pulp was hot and steaming as it came from the mill. This was what they called ground wood pulp. j Thorp wns also another mill where they make what they eall sulphite pulp. | Her* the short Works of wood were split I and then run through a machine where revolving knives cut it into chips about the siae of your thumb nail. These | ( hips were then cooked under steam j pressure for eight hours, in enormous ! dissolving tanks with sulphuric acid and ! comes out sulphite pulp. In appearance I this pulp is very much like the ground wood pulp, but with a much longer fiber. I This adds strength to your paper. *o i. I won't teary easily. Naturally, this is ( a much more expensive process, so they don't, use any more sulphite than neces ; sary. The higher the grade of paper i the more sulphite is required, j AVe took a look into the sulphur room, j where they burn the sulphur in produe i itig sulphuric acid. It was like Hades, and I held my nose and got out as soon | as possible. ; Xext.,-wo came to the big room where j flic paper machine were running full tilt, but first taking a look at the mixer where the wood pulp and sulphite pulp (were running iu together with a little | stream of bluing to give the piper the proi>er color. | Below as the pulp comes from the | mixing tank, it is ninety-nine per cent, (water and is blown out into the wire ! screen carriers landing to the machines. I It flows from the screen onto an end -1 less wire cloth, on which the paper I forms and as it nears the drying rollers j you can see it already becoming dry as the v•’!<— d i.-i :'>• : ; atd then it l.its tile big hot durins or drying j cylinders. There are forty of these in two tiers, twenty in each, tier. They l are five feet long, and heated inside with j steam. Passing from these drying cyl | aiders the paper goes between ten cyl inder rollers which give it finish and surface and then it is wound in big rolls. (It is now finished news paper, all now ! necessary being to cut and rewind it on | rolls of different lengths to fit the news ! paper presses. Then it goes to the ship ping room .where the rolls are wrapped jam! put aboard cats. Three hundred I tons a day. Some job—but done smooth (ly and efficiently, without a hitch any i where. The result of modern up-to-date | methods applied to the manufacture of paper. I By this time, believe trie, we were I ready to wash up and eat. but first, we | had to take a look at the big holier room, j where they burn oil to generate the | steam necessary: also a peep into the | first aid room where one of our party j had a burned thumb bandaged up by (the attractive French nurse. ~■••• ! I should explain, however, that lie I didn't get that thumb hurt in the mill; ji box of matches exploded on hini. ! Moral—don't smoke cigarettes, j At dinner that night, at the quaint (French hotel there' was much'jollity and | good fellowship, much singing of songs | and making of complimentary speeches. ( and story telling. A number of the local Rotary Club members had come into help igive us a good time, and we had one. ; After alt, you know the Canadians are j much like our own home folks. Any j way. they made its fed exceedingly at home. i The next morning we motored down to | Batiscan where the company has au j other wood preparing mill. It was about j forty miles, with a good cement road I all the way. Tito day was perfect, clear j and cool. The country is beautiful, with tile maples beginning to show red | and yellow on the hillsides. The farm i ers Were digging potatoes and the black ( soil looked rich. Also the cabbage, and I cauliflower and other vegetables were ( very fine. It looked strange to a South erner to see the farmers'just harvesting | oats the 10th of September. From Batiscan ,we went by train on ( the Canadian Pneitjc. to Quebec, arriving i there at 2 o’clock. | Then followed a sight-seeing trip ( around Quebec. It seemed that on ev ery corner there was a monument to ( somebody ami it was interesting to see the historic points of interest, especial ly the place where General Wolf landed aud finally captured the heights of Que ( bee from the Frebeh. There is a won •| derful hotel on the crest of the heights. Chateau Front!nac, over two hundred feet above the river and the lower town. Iletul'iiing from our drive there was still half an hour before our boat left for Montreal so we took a walk outside, along the crest of the old ramparts. Be low tlie river speared out to tile north east,»where a big ocean steamer was coming in. Close in our steamer lay at , her dock, and beyond, out in the river, a small schooner was taking advantage of ' what little wind there was, with all sails set. It was nearing sundown, and the shad | ows and -colon* on the water were beati . tiful. and across the river ou the bluff , beyond, the sun touched a white church j Steeple. It was all very wonderful, aud (we left it with much reluctance. But I then, what has that to do with making paper? Even so, there is romance in the , manufacture of print paper, where the , dirty black log comes out. of the river ( and is converted within an hour or so L into smooth white paper, when the news ( paper you hold in your hands was but a short time ago a part of a growing , spruce tree in the Canadian woods many , | hundred miles away.
