On current market purchases
newspaper publishers have been pay
ing manufacturers and iVbbcrs very
much higher prices. Before January
|, 1916, current market prices ranged
generally. between 81 aud $3 per
hundred pounds. delivered, depend
ing on quantity, freight and other
circumstances: but since that time
they have gone up as high as Sc or
per hundred pounds for a consider
anie volume OF business, and even
higher In exceptional instances.
rhe average price received by do
mestlc manufacturers Of news print
paper did not advance in anything
like the degree that current marke
prices advanced. because most of the
paper was sold under contracts pre-
viously made. On the average, the
actual net receipts Of domestic manu-
l'lcturers for news print paper were
ieSs than 81 per hundred pounds dur
ing the first half Of 1916.
lhe average cost Of manufacture
or news print paper in domestic mills
was less than $33 per ton, or .G5
per hundred pounds. during the first
half or 1916 as shown both by the
manufacturers own cost sheets and
by the costs as reviewed by the ac-
countants Of the commission. Fur
thcrmore. these average costs were
silEh'ly lower than the average cost
in any year from 1918 to 1915.
Though the average cost declined
IN the first half of 1916. the market
prices Of some Of the materials of
MANUFACTURES advanced and we're unu-
snally high
1t should be noted that the most
important materials which advanced
IN price tsuIphatc and groundwoOb
were produced by most OF the paper
manufacturers without an increase in
cost, and not houGhr at market
prices. while som" ether niLnuIartu-
rers were protected against the in
crease IN prices by contracts. Some
or the other materials which were
purchased ut advanced prices were
also practiccd in the use OF expensive
materials
1T is generally claimed in the
trade that costs in the future will
increase particularly on account Of
the scarcity OF labor and cost Of
bringing logs to the mills. This is
necessarily a matter OF prediction
concerning which the commission OK
presses no opinion.
"The quantity OF news print papcr
produced by domestic manufacturers
in the tirst half OF 1916 was some
what greater than in any preceding
half year since the middle Of 1913.
The increase in production was ac-
compliShed by running mills to full
capacity. Recently most mills have
been operated "a hours per day for
six days per week
'"The quantity OF news print paper
imported. which came chiefly from
Canada. eHuallcd about One-third Of
the domestic production and showed
a great increase in the first half Of
1916. The quantity exported also in :
creased during this period. though
the exports were small compared
with imports. The prices. however,
offered by foreign buyers were high.
"The stocks OF news print paper.
which are very small in comparison
with the production, not only de-
cltned during the first half Of 1916,
but also were lower than at any time
during the year 1915.

4 CENSORSHIP POSER

Motion picture censorship might be two-edge
sword Many good church people whose schooling ha
rot made them wise seIpents, although it may hav
left them harmless doves, do not realize that ther
may be opposing points Of view regarding what the
ought think of naughty and that in objectn
these they fighting Saan's battle For instance
cutting cut showing the of liquor is an illus
traton. Even the liquor interests may desire it.
Recently the National Board of Revie Wof Motto
Pictures received letter which explained why liquo
scenes were being taken of films exhibited in i'm
ortant circuit Of theaters.
In the letter was this unconscously illuminating para

In addition we eliminated all the liquor scenes be

Presidential Election
Before the next monthly letter Of

Of those voting. ...-. .....
In the end, the American people will
get their choice for President. No
matter which candidate is elected it
will be necessary for the people to get
Lehind him and support his policies,
unless they should be Of such a nature
that they threaten the life Of the Re
public. During the four years follow

quire the combined wisdom, patriot
ism and fidelity of the people to meet
the questions and dec de them proper

the people, irrespective of party, must
be aroused and successfully main
tanned if America is to hold her place
among the powers of the world.
No bitter animosities are being de-
veloped by the campaign. This fact
argues for harmonious action for the

HEROES OF NATION?

Here is President Wilson's idea
of hero, expressed in a letter from
him to Secretary Lane:
1.-The rescuer of the bureau of
mines who braves the poisonous
gases and saves miner from death;
the coast guard who at the peril Of
his own life saves passengers of a
helpless vessel from death; the sur
geon Of the public health service
who stops a dreaded scourge in it's
incipiency; the engineer who sue
ceeds in reducing the hazards Of
industry to it's men, and the man
who brings about better conditions
of living among people, I consider
all types of the hero who will be best
regarded in the near future"

CITY OFFICIALS.

City elections will be held in Be-
mayor, city clerk, city treasurer, as
SCISSOR and four aldermen will be
elected.
All the present officials whose
terms expire at that time are can
didates for reelection and they
should be elected They should re-
ceive a flattering vote from the cit
liens of Bemidji and thereby shown
that their work is appreciated.
Never before in it's history has
Bemidji had such good administra-
ton as it has had during the past
two years. The affairs of the city
have been run in a business-like way
and officials have paid strict atten-
ton to the city affairs. They have
been fair to all and are conducting
the affairs of the city in an econom-
ical way.
The present officials, if kept in
Office another term, will be able to
accomplish more for the welfare of
the city than if new men are elected.
The present officials are conscien-
tious, courteous and loyal to their
constituents. We heartily recon-
mend them for reelection.
The men who should be returned
to office are:
Mayor William McCuaig.
George Stein, city clerk.
George w. Rhea, city treasurer.

New Orleans, Jan. 29.-With the
commercial and industrial interests
of the United States equipped with
clear-cut plan whereby the manu-
facturers and bankers of every Sec
ton will pull together to develop
European and South American trade,
the final sessions of the Third Annual
National Foreign Trade convention
were held here today. The biggest
men in business and finance, men
whose entire careers have been de-
voted to foreign trade and experts
in every line of manufacture and
merchandising on an international
scale have given their views, which
have been welded tentatively into a
working plan under the direction of
the National Foreign Trade council.

The next best average was 10 per

good 81 And remember, too, this is
Mr.. Buckman's first term, and the
average representative is not ex-
pected to accomplish a great deal
during a first term in the house. In
this Mr.. Buchanan has proven an
exception to the rule. He has &C
complished an immense amount Of
business with the postoffice depart
ment in securing rural routes; also
with the land department in the
protection of Northern Minnesota

Mr.. Minister says that Congress-
man Buchanan will receive almost
the entire vote of the men who fol-

so many of them have been en-
ployed by Mr.. Buchanan, and Martin
has been unable to find single man
who has ever worked for the con-
gresham who does not speak Of him
in the highest terms as an employer.
He has never been known to have
given the working man the worst

satisfied that is saying a great
deal for a man who has employed
