plain occasionally of the color Of the
sheet, which of late is more or less
dingy yellow instead of the clear,
blush white to which they have been
accustomed. This change in color has
not been pleasing to the publisher any
more than to the subscriber, but II the
present conditions continue much
longer we will all be in luck to get any
paper at all. Notice has just been serv-
ed of an advance in the cost OF print
paper amounting to more than Is per
cent of the price at which paper could
be bought few months ago. And, at
that, we have no reason to believe that
the paper manufacturers are making
as much money as they were before.
Most of them are finding it difficult to
fill orders at any price, and IN most
cases an order is accepted subject to
cancellation by the manufacturer with
out notice.
While the diminishing supply of pulp
wood cuts a large figure in the paper
business just now, the war is at the
bottom of most of the troubles OF those
who deal in paper. The war has caus-
ed a scarcity of bleaching material,
and this not only accounts for the yell
low tinge, but it makes a number OF
processes of manufacture most costly.
The cost of labor has advanced; ma
chinery is difficult, and in some cases
impossible to obtain, and in many
other ways the whole business is dis
organized. We intend to keep on is
suing a newspaper from this estab-
lishment if we have to print it on
wrapping paper, but it may be neces-
sary to ask readers to bear with a
good many defects in the quality of the
stock for some time to come.

SOME READABLE VERSE
THE WAN OF A BOY

Games W. Foley in Youths Com.
panion.)
This is the way boy comes home,
And the way it shall ever be:
A scamper of feet through the leaf
and loan
And the chase Of vagrant bee;
A coat cast off and quite forgot,
A whistle and ringing cheer,
And romp near every well.known
On the way from there to here.
This is the way boy makes haste,
And the way it has ever been:
A squirrel seen is squirrel chased,
And a top is made to spin;
A trees to climb and a brooks to
wade,
And the shode is place to lie
After the zest of the game that's
played
When the sun is hot and high.
This is the path a boy calls straight:
BY every winding way
Where berries are or wild birds wait
By banks that bid you sit and cool
Two dusty feet and brown
In the pebbly shadows of the pool
That's on the way from town.
There is the errand swiftly done,
AS doing shall ever be:
An ounce of care to the pound of fun,
And an hour that grows to three;
A fence to climb and rail to stride,
With berries to hunt and share,
And a breathless quarter hour beside
A timid woodchuck's lair.
And this is the thing that boy calls
And the thing it shall ever be:
An old straw hat that's lost some
where
In the shade of some far-off tree;
A shirt that's damp or trousers rent,
A bruise or hornets sting,
And tagging footsteps choreward bent
In the soft twilight of spring.
So these are the ways that boys all
know,
And so may they ever be-:
Fancies as tickle as winds that blow,
And dreams as wide as the sea,
Heaven above where the blue sky
smiles,
With no day over long,
And whistle Of merry tunes that
whites
A whole world into song.

"IF ALL WHO HATE"

wF All WHO HATE"
If all who hate would love US,
And all our loves were true,
The stars that swing above us
Would brighten in the blue;
If cruel words we're kisses,
And every scowl smile,
A better world than this is
Would hardly be worth while;
If purses would not tighten
To meet a brothers need,
The load we bear would tighten
Above the grave Of greed.
If those who whine would whistle,
And those who languish laugh,
The rose would rout the thistle,
The grain outrun the chaff.
If hearts were only jolly,
If grieving were forgot,
And tears of melancholy
Were things that now are not,
Then love would kneel to duty
And all the world would seem
A bridal bower of beauty,
A dream within a dream.
If men would cease to worry,
And women cease to sigh.
And all be glad to bury
Whatever has to die;
If neighbor spake to neighbor,
AS love demands of all,
The rust would eat the saber,
The spear stay on the wall.
Then every day would glisten
And every eye would shine,
And God would pause and listen
And life would be divine.

From the continued reports of theft
by young boys it is evident something
will fall if it is not discontinued. The
practice seems to be that when one
makes a haul he divides with others,
and they in turn steal to repay the
loan. With the advantages enjoyed to-
day by boys, and especially Valley City
boys, there must be something radio
ally wrong somewhere when wholesale
differing is being carried on. 1t is
time that the cause be located and a
