So, GIG more than it does the large

able to pay the price.
Nov you can understand the con-

where the shoe pinches. The small
publisher hasn't the fine division of de-
partments, the reserve, the credit or
the resources on which to fall back.
What will no do? l cannot answer
that question. l don't know. His ad-
vertising rates are, to be certain, the
lowest in the United States. They
must be raised, but can he increase
them to anything like the price that

early months of 1917"

The CHRISTMAS Spirit has been over
done, undone, and done perfectly, At
its best it is a fine thing, one of the re-
deeming features of the so-called hu-
man race. 1t may be rooted in selfish
ness, like the love of the parent for the
child; but pure unselfishness can be
only approximated, and there are many
parents, and many dispensers of Christ
mas cheer, who attain to this approxima-
ton. Some men become savagely
cynical at Christmastide, but these are
chiefly persons who are sentimentallsts
and optimists at other times. Natural
cynics, on the other hand, become
genial, even beaming, at this season,
and survey the world through rosetint-
ed glasses. May we, then, propose
three cheers for the Christmas Spirit!

COFFEE MERCHANT FRAZEE
Went West and Found More
FraZees Than are in Garrett
County.

The following letter is copy of one
by Mr.. Charles F. Frazee, of Pitts
burgh, Pa, to his niece, Miss Hazel
Frazee, of Selbysport, who sent 1t to
The Republican with the request that
it be published in these columns. Mr..
Frazee is well known in Garrett county,
having been born and reared at Selbys-
port which town he left many years
ago and went to Pittsburgh, where he
established coffee brokerage office,
later entering into the wholesale coffee
business as a rooster and distributor to
merchants in many sections of the
country.
FRAzEE CITY, Mimi, Dec. l, 1916.
Miss Hazel FrazC es
Selbysport, Md
Dear Niece:-I must tell you and the
folks back East that | have been visit
ing Frazee City. 1t is a beautiful place
situated on the Northern Pacific Rail
road, 1874 miles northwest of st. Paul
and Frazee Mills is about 35 miles west
of Frazee City.
The Frazees here are all Demo
Gratis, not like back there in Garrett
county, all Republicans, and they are,
as in the East, nice lot of people, if
they are Democrats.
Frazee City is larger than Oakland.
Maryland, and is a much nicer town
than Oakland, but all Western towns
are nicer than Eastern towns. The
country has lots of lakes. If only some
of the lakes were back in old Garrett
County, it would make the county more
popular.
1t seems funny to be in this town and
think of being back East. We used to
think all the Frazees were on Frazee's
Ridge. but they are not IN it, as there
are more here than on Frazee's Ridge.
OFargo, North Dakota, is about so
miles west of Frazee City, and l 90
from here there and then on west. This
trip will take me as far as Hughes
went on his speaking trip, but hope it
will be more successful to me than his
trip was to him.

COUNTRY NEWSPAPER HARD HIT

Owing to the high price of news
print paper the small country publisher
is especially handicapped in the publish
lag Of his newspaper. George E. Hos
mer, chairman of the legislative COM
mittee OF the National Editorial Asso-
citation, in an interview a few days ago,
said:
''Small newspapers, country week
lies and little daiIies. consume $1,000
tons of newsprint yearly, and will be
hard hit by the new price of paper.
These papers are paying, many Of them,
as much as 10 cents a pound for the
white paper they are using. In addition
they are paying the freight charges,
and every other cost that large in
dividual users must now assume. They
have always done that in the past.
Some idea of the amount of paper
consumed by these publishers may be
gained when tell you that there are
probably about $1,000 small news.
papers in the United States. The
circulation will average LOCO. Many
have less, but great many run as
high as several thousand. West of the
Mississippi the size will average six
quarto, and east Of the, river, probably
seven-column quarto. | think it is safe
to say that the average size may be
seven-column quarto.
"These $4,000 papers, distribute 49,
900, 900 copies weekly, on the basis of
1000 circulation each. However, there
are amonglthem, dailies, semi and tri-
weeklies, which will run the tonnage
up enormously. Fifteen thousand
papers with 1000 circulation consume
$4,000 bundles a week, the average
weight being about fifty pounds to the
ream. That makes $50 tons of paper a
week, 1000 tons year. Add the is
sues of the semi and .tri-weeklIes, and
the small town dailies, and | figure at
least Is, 900 tons more, or a total of
1000 tons 3 week, $1,000 tons a year.
Probably 20, 800 tons or 40 per cent. are
furnished by auxiliary plants, making
it unnecessary for the publisher to
graple directly with the newsprint pro-
blem. The remainder, or 81, 200 tons.
must be purchased by the newspapers
themselves. Thirtyiper cent. of the
$4,000 tons, amounting to $500 tons,
are purchased on contract at prices
ranging from 80, 4 and cents pound
during 1916. which may show an in
crease during 1917. The balance, 81
$40 tons, which represents 70 per cent.
of the 60 per cent. purchased direct and
bought in the.open market, costs the
publishers around 10 cents a pound at
the present time.
1.-The man who is fortunate enough
to order as much as ton at time
gets the benefit of the present spot
priceiof $105 ton at the mill. The
fellow who buys four, or five, or ten
bundles, pays in many instances 10
cents pound or 5000 ton, which, of
course, includes the cost of freight to
the commonipoint in which he makes
his purchase. To this, must be added
the local freigh rate to the point of
consumption. 1t will be as much as
