All these years newsprint has been manufactured from Northern spruce. Southern pine had too much resincontent to make satisfactory white paper, the chemists said. It makes good kraft or brown wrapping paper, there being a big kraft Camden, and several others farther down the Ouachita river, at Monroe and al Bastrop, La. But now Dr. Herty has solved the riddle of resin--and A new market and a new day are waiting on the giant forests of the South.

XXX And this paragraph from the Minnesota Press: Why is a newspaper like a pretty woman? To be perfect it must be the embodiment of many types. It is always chased though inelined to be gaudy. It's form is made up. It enjoys a good press, the more rapid the better. It has El weakness for gossip.
