THE PAPER SITUATION


kpitSuH NIlg IHtcI pIiStJ
As result of a series of meetings
of the newspaper publishers of Phil
adelphia, called to consider the SER
ious situation confronting them, caus-
ed by what are practically famine con-
ditions in the news print paper mar
ket, tne following agreement was unan-
imOusly reached:
CAN daily, evening and Sunday
newspapers will Immediately reduce
the size of their issues to the extent
Of a total not in excess of eighty pages
weekly.
"That, beginning September ! next,
the accepting from wholesale purchas-
ers of unsold copies of all morning,
evening and Sunday newspapers will
be discontinued. Heretofore this priv
ilege has been granted to newsbOys,
news agents, news stands and carriers"
AT these meetings facts and figures
were submitted showing that the mills
have been unable to supply the enorm-
Gus increased demand for waite paper.
Not only have the mills been unable
to lay in a reserve stock during the
summer months, as in former years,
but at the present time they are be-
luN lHtlI HOrHldl supply 20 SERIOUS
has the situation become, it was point
ed out, that unless drastic reduction
Of consumption was enforced, some of
the newspapers throughout the coun-
try would be confronted with possi-
bic suspension of publication.
The situation outlined by the Phil
adelpnia publishers is countrywide and
almost every day the newspapers Of
some town in the United States agree
to reduce the size of their papers and
to prevent the return of unsold copies.
The price of white news stock means
that the big city dailies must cut the
size of their paper. The 90 and "a
page daily is doomed ii the price Of
white paper continues.
But what if the big city daily is
compelled to cut tine number of it's
pagesl Who mas time to read all of
a 20-page paper and where is the city
in the United States which can fill
up 20-page paper with properly con-
denSed. clean. well written news?

PREDICT TWO DOLLAR WHEAT

The brokers and spectators having had any fear of
further government Investigation OF Wheat prices re-
moved went to bat again Saturday and wheat went up
four cents This partly accounted for by the stop
ping of the investigation but principally on account OF re-
ports from all parts of the world showing wheat snort

adian story is largely for effect 1t is to Englands inter-

ported by the agricultural department. This partly
offset by holdover from last years bumper crop esu
mated at between 15000000O and 2OO0OO,OOO bushels
However with this holdover there shortage IN thls
country of above 100000,O00 bushels.
The latest reports from Manitoba show not only a
shortage but practically failure In many localities the
farmers have discovered that the crop IS not Worh mar
vestnp and are burning the fields in order to clear the
land for next year One farmer reports his fields turn
ing off 10 bushels to the and this only As POUNDS 10
the bushel In many sections the farmers are reported
as being alarmed for fear there will not be sunclent
wheat fit for seed and that this will have to be imported
This will have to be bought in the United States he
ports from England that very poor crop IS oelng
harvested and that is being damaged by rainy weather
In Chicago the feeling is that wheat is to 81 make Ia
record price, the conservatives placing 1t at Sllo per
blshe while other say $500 wheat is a certainty.
The advance in Chicago has sent prices kting on the
coast At Walla Wala Saturday sales were reported at
$l5 for buestem and $llo Tor cluo At rendelol al
offer of $1O7 12 was refused for club. AT Portland
prices Jumped club being quoted at Silt forty-tod at
81 49, and bluestem at $l20.
The most pleasing as well as the most rare feature
of the advance is that it came while the farmers have at
least half their crops hand instead of after they had
sold practically ALL
Generally when prices go up for wheat it is after the
spectators have corraed the crop and the puoc KICKS
against high prices for the that they are in sense
fictitious and like the average panic created for the oc

it belongs the who grew the grain mat oeng te
case the public will instead of being rejoice that for
once the wheat grower getting his just duesthe real
value of his crop.
We can all afford to pay little more for our bread

CLEARS OFFICERS NAME
Official Report Holds That Lieut. Col.
Butler Was Innocent of Wrong
doing.

San Antonio, Texas, July 2s-The
official report on the killing of Lieut.
Col. NJ. C. Butler at Alpine, Texas,
last week by Harry SPANIEL COM
pletely clears the name of the dead
officer.
The report, transmitted to General
Funston Wednesday by Col J. A.
CASTOR, district commander, with
headquarters at Maria, says that Col
onel Butler was aware that SPANIEL
was Jealous of his wife and took care
never to be with her except when
others were present.
The immediate incident that led to
the killing of the army officer and
Mrs. Spaniel is described in the re-
port. Colonel Castor, who hurried to
Alpine Immediately following word of
the shooting, says that Colonel and
Mrs. Butler and Mr.. and Mrs. Span
nell had gone to the home of friend
who was i'll. and on their return to
the hotel, where all lived, it was sug-
gested that everyone, as a precau-
ton, should wash their hands.
Colonel CASTOR says that shortly
after this SPANIEL went to the But
lers' room, and finding apparently,
only Colonel Butler and Mrs. Span
nell there, began to upbraid his wife
At this point, however, Mrs. But
ler came out of the bathroom and
pointed out to him that she was one
of the party.
Soon after SPANIEL took Colonel
and Mrs. SPANIEL on the ride that
ended in their being killed.

HEAVY RAINS AND TYPHOID
State Board of Health Anticipates In
crease in Number Of Cases I'm
less Precautions are Quick
ly Taken

Richmond, Va, July 2S, 1916 (Spe-
cial)-The rains which have been de-
luging Virginia in the last few weeks
may result in a sharp increase in
the number of cases of typhoid fever
according to the State Board OF
Health, unless prompt precautions
are taken by all whose water-supply
is in danger of possible pollution by
overflow or otherwise.
The late spring, health officers say,
gave Virginia the prospect of a favo-
rable typhoid year, but these pros
poets are fast being upset by continu-
ed washing rains and the morbidity
of the year may exceed that of 1915
unless indusidual house-holders and
farmers protect themselves.
The rains, it appears, are peculiar
ly favorable to the spread of typhoid,
in that they wash the filth into
streams, whence it may find its way
into water-supplies of different COM
munities. On farms, also, where re-
lance is placed on springs, heavy
rains sometime choke up the bitches
or dam the spring branches and re-
suit in overflow or backwater that
may be dangerous. The board is
strongly urging every farmer to
watch his spring and, if he finds the
water muddy after rains, to either use
another spring or to render the sup
ply safe by proper ditching above
and below the spring. Full direc-
tions for doing this have been is
sued in printed form by the board
and may be had free upon request.
Of serious outbreaks of typhoid
the board reports few during the last
month, and none that could be classed
as genuine epidemics. All reported out
breaks have been investigated by Of
ficers of the board and have been
traced to different causes in the vari-
Gus localities affected. In some in
stances, the origin of the disease was
relatively obscure and responsibility
was placed on what seemed to be
minor and overlooked factors in sani-
tary protection.

FATE OF THE BREMEN
Crew of German Undersea Craft
Scout Idea That the Sister Ship
Has Been Taken

Baltimore, July 2S-Watchers
aboard the German subsea freighter
Deutschland want to see the ships OF
England go.
They fear that plan is afoot to
have vessels in ballast in the har-
bor follow the Deutschland out to
the capes and accidentally" ram
her. This would save the all;el pat
rol big task and, as orc of the
Germans put it, the Britisher could
say, "Oh, l beg pardon; / VII pay
you damages.
This fear is believed to be one of
the compelling motives behind orders
to delay the Deutschland's departure.
The Bremen, however, is vital
| factor. Stories that she has been cap
tured, and is now interned at Hall
fax, Nova Scotia, brought the COM
ment from a Deutschland officia!t TO-
day:
"Bah, she is not lost until three or
four weeks" And. he added that the
Deutschland's sister-ship is too clever
to fall into the meshes of the allied
patrol.
All was peaceful along the Patapsco
early today. A persistent screen OF
mystery still haunted the situation.
There had been long party aboard
the Neckar at the Deutschland pier;
some of the crew had Individual par
ties ashore, rolling in during the
early hours.
But no one connected with the SUBJ
sea venture would reveal when the
Deutschland S. stay ends The forty
eight hours since the Deutschland
cleared, expired this afternoon, but
under local port rules it was found
that the vessel need not re-clear, is
supposed, except in case she alters
her cargo. The vessel is still being
trimmed as there is a certain un-
evenness that might be annoying later.
A fear Of unequal trimming Of the
ship has he'll up the sailing of the

This is believed to have caused the
