The Mexican conference at New
London, Conn.,, will have to be NOV
ed, as the hotel there closes Oct. /.
The net result of the three weeks
conference is that the Americans have
added greatly to their store of infor-
nation relative to Mexican affairs and
that they have endeavored to con-
vince the Mexican representatives
that whatever the United States has
done with regard TO Mexico was not
done because of a selfish motive.
The Mexicans are insistent that
American troops should leave Mexico,
but this will not be agreed to under
present conditions, so little has been
accomplished.

cAlPmunk's ADVENTURE.

Little Chlppy Chappy had been
i the name given TO Mrs. Chlpmunk's
youngest Som" said Daddy. "Ie was
very fine Son. and Mrs. Chipmunk
was very, very proud of him. In the
first place he was most beautifully
marked and all the other Chlpmunks
from far and near came TO see the fine
markings on his little soft, furry body.
And his tail was very bushy and full.
Altogether. he was a beautiful Chip
nunk and IL wasn't surprising In the
slightest degree that Mrs. Chipmunk
should be so proud of him.
But alas and alack all the Chip
hunks around told Chippy Chappy
how wonderful he was. They not only
told him he was beautiful, but they
told him he was very wise and clever
and smart. Now, he wasn't so very
smart II the truth is to be told.
strangely enough he was not in the
least bit conceited about his beauty,
but the minute he was told he was
clever and smart he whisked his tail
about and made up his mind to have
some wonderful adventures so he
could prove to all the other Chip
hunks that he was even cleverer than
they thought.
1T was fine sunny morning when
Chippy Chappy started off on his first
adventure. He thought he would take
a trip so he could relate how the
world looked to him. On and on he
scampered and ran feeling ever so well
on such perfect day.
'IIe hadn't gone very far when he
saw some Pear trees that looked quite
nice, so he hurried to the orchard
where they were. Up the first tree he
scrambled. and then when he had
taken some delicious bites of the
juicy Pear from that tree, he jumped
across to the next one, where the
Pears looked even better.
"But down on the earth, from out
of a nearby farmhouse came Cat
along. In the Cats eyes
were hungry CLEANS as he caught
sight of little Chippy Chappy.

NEWSPAPERS
FACE FAMINE
Steps Taken by Publishers to
Meet Rising War Prices.

! The Salem Mass Evening News
has gone to the limit of reducing the
size Of its paper by eliminating dashes
in special departments and reducing
the point size of all sub-heads. This
is in addition to cutting down the
number of pages.
The st. Louis Post Dispatch and the
st. Louis Times on September |
placed their daily issues on non
returnable basis.
FEWER PAGES IN MINNESOTA.
Minnesota publishers have taken
radical steps to reduce consumption.
Nearly every paper in the state is
getting out fewer pages-ten or twelve
page sheets have come down to eight
eight pages to six and four, and SO
on all along the line. The reduction
in the size of the big Sunday papers
amount to from ten to twenty pages.
w. r. Wiley, secretary of the John
Leslie Paper company, Minneapolis,
states that Heretofore during the
period before the war and almost up
to the present time the price of print
paper has been about $500 for SO, 600
pounds. Today in round figures the
cost is about 81, 900 for the same quail
ity, and our mills will not tell us that
highest point has been reached. The
normal price of print paper has been
81. 10 a hundred. Today it is quoted
at S., figuring $4,000 pounds to the
carload, the actual cost today in ex-
cess of the normal cost of a car would
be approximately $l,050."
