One Of the leading addresses be-
fore the bankers at Salina was on
a subject that seems
essential to every meeting these
DAYS from a Bible class reunion TO
a bankers convention. 1t is the
same subject which naturally arises
at a dinner OF the Entomological
society. the Pure Milk association
and the Rembrandt society. A long
time ago Mark Twain hit upon a
universal formula of the kind. II
consisted Of a story about a dog
whose name varied with the occa-
sion. Thus, at dinner Of archaeol-

HAD TO DO 1T
Solomon Tribune Raises Subscrip'
ton to $3.50 Year

The Solomon Tribune has joined
the Reflector class and raised It's
rate to $3.50 per year.
Practically all county seat papers
have had that rate for several years
and the smaller town papers are
finding out that they must come TO
it or lose money. Editor Hamilton
in his announcement says:
With the rapid and enormous ad-
vance in the price of paper and all
other printers commodities it has
become impossible to longer issue
this paper on the old basis of 81 a
year without serious financial
loss on. the subscription end of the
business. and that we feel our very
good friends would not ask or even
EXPECT us to do. For long months
and even years the prices OF every
thing the printer uses have been
mounting skyward, yet the price OF
the Tribune has remained at 81 pei
year. But the time is at hand wher
we are simply compelled to join the
advancing host and increase the
price of the paper. Print paper has
lust about doubled in price in thu
past two months.
