Your Newspaper Cost

Your newspaper service is the cheapest me-
cessity you buy. The advertising cost THROUGH
the daily newspaper is the cheapest manner in
which to reach customers
This has all been effected by wonderful
worldwide organization and system, by which
the public benefit, and an efficiency not known
to any industry.
Newspapers which have all experienced
enormous increases in publishing cost Of their
own, are being subjected to prohibitive paper
prices and exactions many times the increased
cost of manufacturing paper.
The Press is doing it's utmost to maintain its
service to the public, without passing on these
extortions, but expect that at least two thousand
newspapers will be forced out Of business next
year and most of the others will show deficits.
The situation is extremely serious, for the

BULLDOGS TAME,
 COACH DECLARES

The 20-minute scrimmage practice given the Hendrix Bulldogs yester- day afternoon proved disappointing to Coach Bill Headrick, he said The men did not display any pep, and the class of ball put up was of an inferior grade. Unless the lads i'm prove considerably they will not stand much show or victory this season. From now until Friday af- ternoon Coach Headrick will devote his attention to getting team in condition for Saturdays melee with Little Rock College, which will be played at the capital city. He has not intimated just who will compose the team. It will be more of a prac- tice bout for the Bulldogs, and it is probable 20 gridiron warriors will make the trip and be given trial during the contest.

A. Q. U. ". OPEN
 GRAND LODGE

Little Rock, Sept. 26.-The biennial session of the Arkansas Grand Lodge, A. o. U. w., opened today in the banquet hall of the Hotel Marion and will conclude Wednesday even- ing. Supreme Master Workman Will M. Narvis of Muscatine, Iowa, is in attendance, and will confer the Grand Lodge degree today upon several candidates.
 It is expected that Grand Master Workman John R. Frazer and Grand Recorder H. l.. Cross will be re- elected tomorrow without opposition, since they have done so much to build up the order in the last two years. There is now a membership of about 6,300, an increase of 100 per cent in four years. Yesterdays mail brought in a total of nearly S2OO,0OO in new business. It is the most rapidly growing. fraternal in- surance order in the state, a fact due to the adoption of modern busi- ness and publicity methods.

FIX NEW DATE FOR
 CHANCE IN OFFICES NOV. 30 DECIDED UPON
State Officers Find that Tax COllec- tors Could Not Qualify as Late
 as January 1.

Little Rock, September 26-Offi- cers elected at the general election on November 2, will qualify and as sume their duties on November 30. This is the date that was agreed upon last Saturday at a conference by Governor Hays, Secretary of States Hodges and Attorney General Davis. There is no provision in the law for the time they are to be commissioned, and it had been an- nounced previously that they would go into office January l. It was discovered, however, that all tax col lectors would forfeit their offices un- less they qualified before that time, hence the uniform date of Novem- Der 30 was fixed for all county, state and district officers except the five constitutional officers, who will be sworn in at the usual time following the converting of the legislature.
 This ruling will give the officers just three weeks from the time of the election to secure their certifi- cates of election, whereas they had seven or eight weeks before the con- solidation of the state and federal elections
