I Necessary ei Increase of Price.

- J - p Hr ~.
It is noticeable fact that many
newspapers which have been sold for
years at one cent a copy have been
forced to advance to two cents in or
dsr-to make ID reasonable return on
the capital, invested. This has been
brought, about largely by the big in
9crease in operating expenses, the pay
roI on mcst: newspapers having adj
ganced faster than the receipts the
past few years. Another reason for
the advance in price is the increased
cost Of white paper, the increase be-
ing about thirty-three per cent.
Cheap paper and q reasonable pay
roll have made possible the one cent
daily. Remove these possibilities,
however, and the publishers are COM
PEELED to seek some new method OF
increasing revenue. :
Congressman Snapp, in an address
delivered. before some. Illinois news
paper publishers, gave The editors q
lot of excellent advice when he said:
You newspaper men have seen
the price of everything else advance,
but you have hung back and refused
to increase the price of your papers.
Everything, has gone up. The price
of labor in the printing business has
advanced twice The cost of paper
has gone up enormously. And you
sat still and took the loss meekly.
What you ought to do is to get to-
gether lid meet the condition by
advancing the prics Of your product
to the public to correspond to. the
other advances. -

Favorable With A Few set-Backs.
The Cotton Crop Report issued by:
Messers. w. F. Klumpp and CO.,
cotton merchants, Of New Orleans, is
optimistic in tone and gives fair
summary Of the state of the crop to
date, the report says:
The Cotton Acreage for 1908 as
Indicated from the most reliable re-
ports, shows On average increase Of
about 8 per cent. over 1907, and in
consequence of the unusually favor
able weather for farm work, SO far
this season, the tendency in all Sec
hons has been to plant more cotton
than last year.
The use Of Fertilizers has been
liberal in all districts, and with the
splendid weather up to within the
past week, the crop has made rapid
progress.
Recent reports from sections of
Oklahoma, North and West Texas,
show the crop suffered lately from
cool weather and excessive rainfall,
causing overAows in the bottom
lands, still there is ample time with
dry weather to replant any part of
the crop damaged.
Taking the condition as whole the
prospects so far. are good and the
outlook in general favorable.

TAPE WORMS m SHEEP.

Tape worms are often very trouble
some in the fIcck of sheep. especially
among the lambs It does not take
them very long to spread over the
entire flock, causing deaths in rapid
succession. In reply to q query as
to the best way to get rid OF this
pest, the Breeders Gazette says,
Tape worms are the cause OF death.
After fasting give each lamb in four
ounces OF new milk the following
medicine: Oil OF male fern, IL dram;
powdered arcca nut, one dram; tur-
pentine, one dram; mix. Follow with
a dose of castor Oil. In drenchins
lambs set patient on rump and give
the medicine from bottle to the
neck of which is attached four-tnch
length of rubber hose. 1t Is always
safest to dose one or two lambs ex'
pernnentally, ncte results and decrease
or increase dose as found necessary
in treating rest OF flock. For adult
sheep, twice the above amount.

Laporte, Ind, Special.-0ne Of the
most grewsome murder mysteries
sver unearthed in this section Of the
country came to light when the
bodies Of five persons, all of them
murdered, were found in the yard of
The home of Mrs. Belle Guinness. who,
With three of her children, was burn
ID to death on the night of April
18th.
So far, only two Of the bodies have
been identified. These are Andrew
Heldgren, who came to this city
from Aberdeen, S. D., for the pur-
pose Of marrying Mrs. Guinness,
whose acquaintance he had made
through q matrimonial bureau. The
,ther is that Of Jennie Olsen Gun
ness, a Chicago girl. who had been
adopted by Mrs. Guinness. She dis
appeared in September, 1906, and it
was said had gone to Los Angeles
10 attend school. The other bodies
we're those Of two men and woman.
None of them has been as yet identi-
ied.
The body Of Heldgren was dis.
nembered and the arms, legs, trunk
and head were buried in different
parts of the yard.
It is believed by the authorities
that Guy Lamphere, who has been
1nder arrest since the burning of the
Guinness home, on the charge of muir
iering Mrs. Guinness and her family,
committed the Heldgren crime.
Lamp6ere is carpenter and the
manner in which the body Of Heldg-
rem was dismembered leads to the
belief that it was done by somebody
familiar with the nse Of saw.
In some quarters it is believed that
Mrs. Guinness may have known some
hing Of the murders of the FIVE peo-
pie. There have been rumors that
Jennie Olsen Guinness had knowledge
# the manner in which the first hus-
band of Mrs. Guinness came to his
leath in Chicago. Little is known,
however, on this subject.
It is known that Heldgren had
oaned $1,000 to Mrs. Guinness and
that he had another $500 in his
possession just prior to his death.
It is believed that he was killed by
Mrs. Guinness or by Lamphere or by
both of them in order to procure the
lash he had and to avoid the neces-
iity Of repaying the loan he had
made.

REMEDY FOR SHEEP TICKS.

Prof. James Law recommends for
scab and sheep ticks a wash COM
posed of tobacco, sixteen pounds; oil
of tar, three parts; soda wash,
twenty pounds; soft soap, four
pounds; water, fifty gallons; boil the
tobacco and dissolve the other agents
in few gallons of boiling water,
then add water to make up the fifty
gallons. This will suffice for fifty
sheep. Each sheep is kept in the
wash for three minutes. One pound
of tobacco stepped in FIVE or six gal
Ions of water is an effective cure.
The lambs and newly shorn sheep
are to be immersed in the decoction.
Tobacco smoke is sometimes rec
ommended, but it is difficult to make
the application sufficiently thorough.
To apply this, nothing is better than
the patent bee smokers. The smoke
should be perfectly, applied at least
three times, at intervals of week,
that the pupae may all develop and
the successive broods be Killed.

PREVENTIVE FOR TUBERCULOSIS
a new way of getting rid Of tuber-
culosis among dairy cattle is suggest
ed by an English authority. He notes
that some members of the herd seem
to be fairly proof against the disease,
and that the quality of resistance is
transmissible to the offspring. He
reasons that by selecting animals
which combine this power OF resis-
tance of tuberculosis with other desir-
able points it will be possible to
build up strain of any Of the leading
breeds which would be practically
proof against the disease under ordi-
nary conditions. Fame and fortune
await the breeder who could. bring
about these results.-American Cul.
