AWAIT REPORT
 OF COMMISSION
 ON PAPER PRICE
Publishers of Country Are Anxious for State ment of Federal
 Trade Men.

NEW YORK, Nov. 2l.-The re- suits of the investigation of the causes of the high price of paper by the Federal Trade Commission ordered by Congress at the last ses- slon will be made public, 1t Is be- lieved, within two or three weeks.
 In regard to the situation faced by the publishers, the Spectator, the in- surance journal says; "The situa- ton in the United States in connec- ton with the supply and prices of paper continues exceedingly serious. Printers and publishers have been in- duced to make contracts for a year or more in advance for the supplies they will need at double or treble the usual prices by representations that if they do not contract TOW they will be compelled to pay even much higher prices in the near fu- ture. if indeed, they can obtain their supplies at any price.
 AS to the actual justification for the absurdly high and still growing prices which are being charged for paper of all classes. the average user thereof has little or no accurate Knowledge Paper makers have shown nothing to justify the abnor- nal increase in price. and this has resulted in creating a well-deflned belief in the existence of combina- ton to inflate prices
 Tt is notorious that the profits of the paper makers were never larger than at present This condi- ton Of affairs is reflected by the fact that the securities of such as are listed on the Stock Exchange have been soaring steadily during the period of the war and have been in the daily papers for some time as among the most attrac- tive specialties in a bull market. These conditions have caused a ser Ious curtailment of the profits of the publishers throughout the land, and even threaten the solvency of many or the small publishers.
 If the increased cost of produc- ton is to remain and become per publishers must necessarily increase their prices generally. To continue doing business on the pres sut basis will mean a ruination 10 many and serious loss to all"

SIRFESSOR REPLIESI have
just finished reading the outpourings
of an outraged simpoleon of thename
of w. Kibbler, in The Public Forum.
l shall be glad to see Mr.. Kibbler,
or any other gradiator of socialism,
or professional sobbist, refute my
pOstulations which he quotes with
such righteous indignation. l am
prepared to uphold my position
against all corners. Let Mr.. K. bring
forth his champion of socialism, and
then let this masterpiece of matter
attempt to break the lance of logic
on my head on this pregnant PROPOSE
ton: Exploitation is the first law
of individual and industrial progress.
This will keep Mr. K busy thinking
until he finds himself out-and in.
Any ego CindividuaD who does not
know that self-realization is the first
law of nature, and that self-preserva-
ton is the second law of human ma
ture, knows as much about the ply
chology of the soul of man as a pig

an individual, and the sum total of all
the impingements that register them
selves on the grey matter that lies
underneath the sinciput, which

INFATUATION.


comes unbidden. A blind, ungovern-
able impulse seems to hold sway in
the passions of the affections. This
kind of love is indeed blind and seems
to completely subdue and conquer
it's victim. 1t often comes like clap
of thunder from a clear sky, and
when it falls it falls fiat and absolute,
leaving behind a physical and mental
wreck. This condition creates de-
spair and dependency. Dependency
breeds disease, and those who yield
to it can neither eat, sleep, nor work.
They only suffer. The spellbound,
fascinated, magnetized affections
seem to deaden sef-control and those
suffering from the love malady are
totally helpless; they are beside
themselves and become hysterical
and irrational
Strangely enough, men and women
of genius, influence and education all
seem to suffer alike. But they do not
yield alike to the dreadful affliction.
Some pine away with anguishanddie;
others, with proper help, rise above
it and recover. The thing to do is
seek the necessary assistance until
sufficient strength has been gained to
enable one to rise above it. Having
done this, permanent cure is estab-
lished.-VioIa Larsen.
