the fact that the expected slump in
prices has not come" said the state
printer There is usually drop IN
prices during the summer months.
But Just the other day 1 received tele-
grams from the mills withdrawing all

/ The state printing plant uses little
news print paper. Yet in the last few
six large paper mills, which formerly
turned out an average of 100 tons of
news print paper day, have suspend
ed the manufacture of print paper.
They will produce only higher quality
papers in the future.
As state printer, Smith not only
superintends the printing of all state
work, but is in charge of the publ
cation of school textbooks. Since the
beginning of state publication of
school texts, the state printing plant
now employs nearly 100 men and
women.
In a statement issued this week.
Smith shows the publication of more
than a half-million finished school
books. These books were all printed
at the state plant and their size ranges
from fifty to ESQ pages each.
Regardless of the heavy increase in
the cost of paper, materials and the
big advances in wage scales, the state
will next fall place the state printed
texts on the market at the old prices
Ability to provide books at old prices
is due largely to the anticipation OF
prices by a state printer who was wise
enough to buy months in advance.

To print the readers-there will be

will carry $4,000 pounds of paper. The
$4,000 saving is on prices paid for
paper, ink, cloth and blackboard, used
in the printing and preparation of the
books.

BEFORE ACE GETS EN-
Rail President and General Manager
Retire to Enjoy Life.

Omaha, Neb., July Warned by
the untimely death of their former
chief, Edward H. Hartman, President
A. L. Mohler of the Union Pacific and
Oregon Short Line railroads, today, in
the prime of life, left his official desk
never to return General Manager
Charles Ware did the same thing.
Both men are in the midst of the best
years of their lives, around the half
century mark; and they present the
unusual spectacle of this age of hustle
and business right down to the graves
brink, of stopping before they drop.
Mohler and Ware are in perfect
health and could have retained their
offices Indefinitely. Mohler will turn
farmer in Colorado and Ware will
travel around the world awhile Both
men say they have not quit to sit down
and die; that they will keep their
minds and bodies active, but they'll
do 1t Just after the manner they see
fit.
Mr.. Mohler was born at Ephrata
Pa, in 1850. and started as a freight
clerk at Gait, ILL.,, at 10. Ware, a ma
tive of Jonesboro, ILL.,, started as a
telegrapher for the Northwestern.

dition, he declares, which menaces the
printing and publishing industry of
the nation.
Right in line with all the concern
regarding the high cost of living,
smith advocates a hearing for the
high cost of printing. Unless there is
a change in the situation, Smith fore
sees not only financial trouble, but
actual ruin for many of the weaker
newspapers and printing houses. Not
only are the publishers and printers
forced to meet increases of from SO
to 500 per cent on paper, inks and ma
terials, but in many instances, great
difficulty is encountered in buying on
the open market.
There is no better story of the
printing industry than the story at the
state printing plant Had it not been
for the farsightedness of the state
printer, there is little doubt that the
state would have been unable to meet
its paper and material bills under the
appropriation and would have forced
the mills to wait for deficiency appro-
priations from the legislature.
Smiths Preparedness.
Because Smith solved the paper
situation months in advance, the state
has saved not less than $4,000 in its

paper bills. That advance would have
been a severe jolt to almost any pri-
vate printing industry. On the other
hand a $35, 900 deficit before the leg
islature would have occasioned wide
criticism of the big state institution.
Much of the saving in the states
paper bill has been in the purchase of
stock for school textbooks Through
keen anticipation of the future and
sheer good luck, Smith. has been able
to provide the state with contracts for
paper supplies for nearly a year in
advance.
Book stock, which last fall sold on
the open market for $40 a hundred
pounds, has encountered two big ad-
vances and notice of a third. That
same stock is now worth between S11
and S12 a hundred pounds and hard to
