The price of white paper on which
newspapers is printed is higher
than was ever known. One of the
strongest trusts in existence con-
trolls not only the mills making the
paper but the vast forests that are
available for its manufacture. Since
the formation of this Trust the price
o., paper has increased nearly 200
per cent. The Big Sandy News is
now paving $50 per cent more for
paper than formerly and we are COM
PEELED to buy about 5000 worth at
one time in order to get below the
200 per cent increase Before the
