NEWSPAPERS TURN AWAY "ADS."
Supply of White Paper Nearly Exhaust
ed and Issues Are Cut Down.

san ANTONIO, Tex. Feb. %
The unusual spectacle of newspapers re-
fusing advertisements is being witnessed
in San Antonio.
This is due TO the fact that shipments
Of paper ordered for many months have
failed to arrive. and the various local pa
perS are unable to borrow from other
newspapers of the state, because they.
too. are short.
For several days the two afternoon
papers hay" been able TO get out only by
exchanging large and small rolls of pa
pers with each other. and then. for fear
Of exhausting the paper supply, have
kept the editions down to as small a
number of pages as possible. The En-
press refuses advertisements and the
reading matter was kept down as low
as possible The three newspapers here
have several cars Of paper en- route, but
have been unable to have them deliv-
cred.
Mess paper IS received within the
next three or four days the condition
will be very serious. and four-page edi-
tionS may he resorted to. This has
caused the publishers to be very deeply
impressed with the car shortage and the
freight blockade
