THE PAPER FAMINE
 AND HIGH PRICES
(trom Manufacturers Record.
 Baltimore


 Baltimore.)
 The price of paper, which has ad- vanced from 100 to 200 per cent, ol more, over prices prevailing a year ago, seriously threatens the life of a large number of publications through out the country and greatly lessens the profit of others.
 It is doubtful if any other large in- dustry in the United States has had to face so serious a situation, because when prices of raw materials have ad- vanced the manufacturers of the fn- ished products have advanced their prices and thus thrown the burden on the ultimate consumer. In the news paper business this has not yet been done. The newspapers, from the largest dailies to the smallest week lies, have been bearing the burden which to many publications will mean complete destruction and to many others the wiping out Of all profit.
 Had the newspapers of the country been as prompt to defend their own interests as they have the interests of others, they, too, would before this have undertaken to save themselves by an advance in subscription price and in advertising rates Under exist ing conditions they will be forced to do this sooner or later, and they can not postpone it much longer without serious financial embarrassment to many of them. Hundreds of the smaller weeklies, including the relig- ious papers, which have had but a very narrow margin between loss and profit, will, we fear, suffer most ser iously, and many of them disastrously, unless the public promptly recognizes the situation and accepts an advance in subscription and in advertising rates and thus saves the situation.
 The day laborer, the mechanic, the farmer and nearly all business inter- ests, manufacturing and mercantile, under the activity of the times are showing larger earnings than for Vears. But the newspapers, as a whole, are meeting more perpleXing problem in the doubling, and in some cases the trebling, of price of paper, and in the absolute inability to con- tract in advance for supplies, than they have ever had to face before The statements which have recently appeared in the daily papers on the subject do not at all exaggerate the seriousness of the problem.

DOUBTING THOMAS.
By William r. Kirk.

Old Tom Griggs did not believe
 Anything he hadn't seen, Not one thrill could he receive
 From a book or magazine. When the weekly paper came,
 Telling of a fire or wreck, Don't believe it." he'd eXclaim,
 "Got to see it fust, by heck!" Seated on the cider "barl'
 At the corner grocery store, Ever ready for a quarrel,
 Tom would air his worldly lore. But if some good neighbor spoke
 Of wondrous plum or squash. Tom would roll his eyes and croak:
 Got to see it fust, by gosh.' All his life he was the same,
 Always ready with No" When his final summons came,
 And the doctor told him so, Old Tom Griggs just shook his heat
 At their talk of faith and trust. "Maybe thar's devil" he said,
 But I got to see him fust!

The Birdsong
BY Or. FRANK CRANE
Copyright. 1915. by Frank Crane)

In the deep of night, when as yet all
was black and still, and there was no
sign at all of dawn, bird sang out a
clear note from the tree In his heart he
saw the coming Of day. He smote the
darkness with the sound of his faith
Let me be the birdsong heralding the
day. and not march in the cohorts of ST.
lence!
In the pit darkness of the Augustan
age, when force ruled and mems minds
were bent under tyranny. and their high
souls quenched in lust, out OF Nazareth
came clear birdnote, singing of good
Father above and Brotherhood here
below. of the invincibilty Of love, and of
the coSmic sweep of goodness. SO long
before daybreak, Two thousand years,
and we still dream with the crudities Of
war, of privilege, of coarse luxury
Let me be birdsong in the dark,
rather than snore with the raucous snor-
ing Of the millions!
In the gloom of France long ago. when
conscience had no rights, theology was
degraded into logomachies, government
locked in abSolutism. all humanity bound
in ignorance and superstition, came the
voice of mocking bird ribald, coarse,
yet prophetic of liberty, of democracy,
the voice of RabelaiS.
In Italy there was heard sweet bird
song OF pain, the voice Of ten silent CEN
turies " tho song Of Dante
In France again another Strident call
in the darkness, protesting against injus-
tice against cruelty and blind tradition,
the voice of Voltaire.
Dante's face was sad and stern; Rabe-
lais' sneering: Noltare's smiling bitterly.
Dante says Victor Hugo, the incar-
nate sorrow; Rabelais, parody; Voltaire,
irony"
They were all early birdsongs, pro-
phetic, seeing distant centuries.
In England Sir Thomas More, in an
lage of sodden egotism, utters his
Il topia,' the birdsong Of altruism.
Erasmus in Germany sang the bird
song of the new learning. THE principle
that reason was the only guide Of life has
its earliest and most complete example in
