High Price of Paper.

Some people do not believe that
newspapers are suffering from the
high price of paper. They do not
realize how enormously the price Of
all print paper has advanced. AL
though more than double in price,
newspaper has not advanced as
much as some other grades. You
do not have to take our word for it.
Read the following from the last
issue of the Newberry Observer
which will show to what extent pa
per that newspapers are printed on
has advanced:
I'VE wonder if the people be-
lieve what the newspapers are say
ing about the high price of print
paper. 1t does not sound incredi-
bic that paper has gone up from
S53 a ton to $l35 ton in the
course of three or -four months; but
it is sad fact, as we know by sad
experience, for we were paying So3
then-had been paying that for a
long time now we are paying
sl35. 1t means that the paper The
Observer is printed on costs US sS2
a month more now than it cost us
four months ago. 1t has gone to
that price at big leaps and bounds;
the first jump was from $50 to $50;
then to 500; then to sl2O, and the
last shipment, for which we have
have just received the bill, is Sl35
the next will probable be Sl4O, or
$3.50.

MIR. Walton Reports Profitab le
Farming.

Editor The Advertiser:
am sending statement of the
cotton I made on four acres this
year and also the sales Of the cotton
seed, amounting to s946.95. Some
may perhaps think l have not cal
culated correctly the amount of
money I received from the four
acres, but l kept an accurate ac'
count of all cotton picked and the
exact sales of tie cotton and seed.
I picked 1918 pounds of seed cot
ton from the four acres and count
ing this to third itself, while it
really made 35 pounds of lint to the
hundred, I ginned 4,26l pounds of
lint.
Sold s,lsl lbs at l5}c S 499.95
Sold l,O7l lbs at zoe 2l4.20
Sold lSl bush seed at 81 18l.O0
Sold "a bush seed at roc $3.50
S 946.95
I made more than enough on the
bagging and ties to pay for the gin
ming. l have not counted about
100 pounds of scattering cotton yet
in the field to pick.
This four acres is good land.
Last year it was sowed in peas and
grazed off with stock. / used 1000
pounds of l6 per cent. acid with
500 pounds of cotton seed meal, the
total cost of meal and acid being
s24.4O. I also used 20 loads of sta
BILE manure which at $500 per load
would be $4,000. The total cost of
manure was s64.4O, which deducted
from s946.95, the sale of cotton and
seed, leaves sSS2.55, or S22O.63
clear to the acre. This is the best
yield l ever made to the acre, and
it was more clear money than ever
expect to get again.

utes from men to the eternal boy who
turned true manliness into romance
and made it live enchanted lives. "As
good an American as ever lived" says
Colonel Roosevelt of him, "his writ
ings form a textbook of American
ISM" And Booth Harrington, opening
the first volume, writes:
Youth called to youth: all ages
read him, but the young men and
young women have turned to shim
ever since his precOcious fame
made him their idol. They got
many things from him, but above
all they live with a happier
bravery because Of him. Reading
the man beneath the print, they
found their prophet and gladly
perceived that a prophet is not
always cowled and bearded, but
may be gallant young gentleman.
, This one called merrily to them;
and they followed him. He babe
them see that pain is negligible,
that fear is a joke, and that the
world is poignantly interesting,
joyousiy lovable. They will al
ways follow him.
Two of the photogravure fronts
pieces are portraits. The others gre
reproductions of those drawings by
famous illustrators which in the
minds of Davis's readers will always
be associated with the beginnings and
the fulness of his successes.

is all that can be desired, a sound
adaptation of literary and historic
scholarship to the understanding OF
his public. His young readers will
grow UP with knowledge of what
BENJAMIN Franklin was and always
will be in American history; and as
for the original text, he has ham
died il with discrimination. Last,
but not least, Z. Boyd Smith, one
OF our best illustrators, has seen his
chance and improved it to the ut
most in his many illustrations
which so faithfully reproduce the
historical background OF the PERIOD,
from architecture to costume, and
even to portraits. The editing OF
the classics for the young is a haz-
ardous undertaking. In this case it
has been an unqualified success.
Stevenson and Wyeth-the two
names are already united in the
memories of our youngsters. This
illustrator is true artist, but, what
is more, he revels in his authors
adventurous spirit. He is sealed OF
the tribe OF Stevensonians. This
year he follows up his perennially
fresh Treasure Island" and Kid
napped"-as enduring as the stories
hemselves-with The Black Ar
row." brave in all the colorful brav-
cry of medieval England (Scribner).

Sons.
This handsome library set of the
works Of an author who will not easily
lose his appeal TO youth, its dreams
and aspirations forms one Of the most
desirable gifts Of the present season
Davis wrote for youth rather than TOT
maturity. but that means that he wrote
for the men and the women OF to-mor-
row; and in the training Of these men
and women straight and loyal and
brave and clean and honest his enter
tanning tales have been and continue to
be no negligible influence. No young
man. no Young woman ever read tale
by Richard Harding Davis without be
ing the better for it physically and
morally.
This edition had long been planned
Davis himself had taken deep in
terest in its preparation, and now that
it has become a reality even he, one
thinks, could have found no fault with
il had he lived to see it. Everything
has been done by the publishers to
make these volumes pleasure to the
eve. and the edition as whole a
defnitive one, the only complete one
existing. worthy to take its place on
the bookshelf for good and all. 49,,

BOOKS OF THE SEASON:

Guerin (Houghton Miffiin Com
pany).
THE DRAMA
Z. n. Sothern's reminiscent pa
pers. The Melancholy Tale OF Me-
belong. perhaps, under the head OF
biography rather than under that OF
the drama. The book is, indeed al
most wholly subjective, and therein
lies its charm; but for full account
of this actors career on the stage
we shall have to wait (Scribner).
The life OF Charles FTohman has al
ready been referred to elsewhere;
it remains only to add that vaiu-
able feature of this sympathetic con-
tribution to the history OF the stage
lies in its gallery Of portraits OF the
MANY stars who came under &C. rs
management.
Mr.. Towse's Sixty Years OF the
Theatre" (Funk & Wagnalls Com
pany) and the third volume OF Will
lam Winters Shakespeare on the
Stage" (Moffat, Yard & Coz stand
out prominently in the dramatic lit
erature of the year. Walter Prch-
ard Eaton issues still another collec-
ton of his studies OF the contempt
rary drama in plays and Players
(Stewart & Kidd.
Brander Matthews's Book About
the Theatre" (Scribner) contains
mass of profitable entertainment.
The stage is the breath of Mr.. Mat
thews's nostrils. His interest In 1t
is unending. Its byways are as in
teresting to him as its dignihed high
road. So in this book he chats OF
acrobats, the decline and fall OF
Negro minstrelsy and the utility OF
the variety show as well as OF wom-
en- dramatists, the principles of pan
tornime and the reasons for the d.
vision of a play into FIVE acts.
THE POETS

cial holiday editions, with the Gus

In the wider field, unaffected by

made OF Helen Nicolay's Our Ma

the Rev. Albert Kuhn's profusely

proof Of the enduring. perhaps even
the growing. public interest in the
new poets.
They are all with US this season
with new offerings-Amy Lowell,
Robert Frost, Masters, Padraic Col
UNI, Olive Tilford Dargan, James
Oppenheim, Neihardt, Tagore,
whom, indeed, with his many vol
umes. one believes to be the best
seller of them all, especially at this
season of his visit to us.
One welcomes a fourth printing
of John Payne's translation OF The
Poems of Master FRANCOIS Villon'
in Thomas B. Mosher's beautiful
edition.
CHILDRENS BOOKS
Leading them all this season, in
viting elders to take it up and read
it through after the youngsters have
gone to bed, we have this year AL
bert Bigelow Paine's Boys Life, OF
Mark Twain" (Harper), reviewed in
these columns last week, but well
worth a second mention for the sake
of the boys and girls whom it may
make happy and set on the right
road toward lifelong intimacy with
the works of the greatest of our HUI
morists. 1t may be added here that
Twain's posthumous romance, The
Mysterious Stranger" is. likely to
find favor in the eyes of our young
sters as a wonder story. Its gloomy
philosophy of life will pass over
their heads unperceived, leaving not
a seed; for the rest, it is captivat-
ing picture OF the Middle Ages and
OF the miracles they created out OF
their ignorance.
Another worthy book to place
before American children is Frank

ton of "The Autobiography OF Ben
