PRINTING SUPPLIES UP

The cost of raw materials in many
lines of enterprises has greatly in
creased, owing TO the war. But there
is no business in which the costs have
advanced as rapidly on this account
as they have in the printing, engraving
and lithographing business.
The cost of paper has jumped from
so to $50 per cent. On some papers
the present prices are almost prohib-
tive. Medium price paper, which is
used the most, has advanced about 100
per cent. The manufacturers have
reason for this increase in the unpre-
cedented increase in dyes and other
chemicals used in paper making. Ami
line dyes that last year cost 40 cents
per pound now cost $40 per ID.
The foreign supply Of rags has been
practically cut off and the domestic
supply has been greatly reduced by
their use in the manufacture of muni-
tions. To a considerable extent they
are now taking the place Of raw cot
ton in the manufacture Of explosives.
Bleach is almost impossible to secure
any price.
Every other material used in the
various branches of printing has adj
vanced in price, ink, type, zinc, cop
per, steel, leather, wire, gasoline and
oils-all have jumped from 20 per cent
to 300 per cent since the war started.
1t is for these reasons that the re-
tail printers have had to advance their
prices.-Janesville Gazette.

A MARINE STUDY.

That the distinctly American sail
ing ship has disappeared from the
high seas is evidenced in the fact that
only so per cent of the force of the
United States marines ON duty at
Guantanamo, Cuba, could tell the names
of the seven masts, at an eXamina-
ton recently held there. There are
now no seven masted schooners flying
the American flag. The Thomas W.
Lawson was the last OF these. Fore,
main, mizzen, pusher, driver, jigger,
and spanker are the names in order,
running fore and aft, of a seven-mast-
ed ship.-Army and Navy Journal

POLITICS A GREAT GAME.
Orchard L. Metcalf in Omaha Ne
braskan.)

About year ago 1 spent some
time with Senator Hitchcock in his
Washington office, and the converse
ton took a reminiscent turn. We
talked about our old-time struggles
on the WOrld-Herald and then about
late-day differences among old-time
friends. He spoke with plain show
of regret at the differences between
himself and Mr.. Bryan, and said that
the habit of defending Mr.. Bryan was
so strong that even now he often
found himself speaking a word in his
behalf when he was bitterly attacked.
Then with an air of sadness the sena-
tor said: isn't politics a strange
thing Met? Here Bryan and you and
| began together nearly thirty years
ago, going through some Of the hard
est fights shoulder to shoulder and
thinking there could never be serious
differences between us. Now Bryan
and / are in Washington, and here we
are at dagger's point Do you know
of anything else quite so funny as
that?"

HE business men of any community are constantly
4 face to face with the problem of how to get the
most out Of organization. The Chauauqua is bringing this
member of the Chicago Association of Commerce and
expert business and community organization On Ma
Caward.
Every business man." he tasks the question: Why
should he undertake to do than the carrying of his
little business?"
Mr.. Caward illustrates this point For example, the
of blossoms the branch Of apple far in
of the number of apples which appear later And why this
waste of flowers? Why should the sunshine which
the fertile landscape bloom shine also the
desert? Is it not a waste?
The reason is he says that possible chance to bear
fruit might be neglected. that the oasis the desert
might chance to refresh weary traveller. The
thing applies to business. Every he believes
should join with his fellows he might overlook the
chance of increasing his business and of helping
his fellow
Caward is speaker of wide acquaintance and high
standing His views matters pertaining to community
growth development widely sought after He will

NOTABLES AT CASSVILLE
VIM. J. Mayo and Party On Way Home
From CruiSe-0ther Items.

The pleasure steamer "OrOnoco"
owned by the Mayo Bros, of Roches-
ter, Mimi. stopped briefly at Cassville,
Sunday. DR.. VIM. J. Mayo, one OF the
famous physicians with his wife, were
the remaining members of a party
which has been cruising along the
lower Mississippi and along the Gulf
coast since April, and they were on
the last lap Of their homeward jour
ney. The OrOnOcO" carries a full
crew, all neatly uniformed. Their stay
i'm CassviIIe was very short-just long
enough to permit the doctor to send a
telegram and mail some letters. He
met and shook hands with both Val
End Chas. Ishmael, who at one time
were patients at the Rochester hospi-
tai, and whom ne remembered. David
Rupp also met the distinguished ply
stefan and his wife, when he went on
board to greet his sister who is en-
plOyed on the craft. The majority of
the members of the crew were also
former friends and associates OF Mr..
Rupp at his old home in Fountain
City, Wisconsin.

Raymond DIETRICH, who was en-
ployed as fireman on the work train
which went into the river near Sparta
ten days ago, when the embankment
gave way, is home to recover from the
injuries he received in the accident
He was taken TO a La Crosse hospital

other members of the crew, nearly all
Of whom were injured, where an ex-
animation developed the fact that his
injuries were not particularly serious,
although it will require a number Of
weeks before he will be recovered SUI
fciently to resume his work
The engine and eleven cars toppled
into the river and it all happened so
quickly that none of the crew had
time to jump. Ray was the first to
disentangle himself and reach dry land
when he went to assist the others.
One of the brakeman, the most serious
~ injured, had both legs fractured.
RaymOnd's injuries consisted chiefly
of a badly wrenched back and severe
bruises on his shoulder and other
parts of his anatomy.

THE ToRRENs BILL KILLED.

Prof. r. l.. Tullis, dean of the
law department Of the State
University spoke for the Torrens
bill. declaring that unless Louisi.
ana adopted the Guthrie bill or
some other similar system of land
recordation, the new federal rural
credit bill would be imperative
in this state. He declared that
upwards of $2,OOO,OOO was spent
annually in Louisiana and largely
wasted by this ever recurrence of
looking up land titles. When a
man sold or purchased piece of
property the title had to be ex-
amined. When he wished TO Dor
row money on the same property.
it was necessary for lawyers to
examine the title. This expense
is an endless chain of expense on
the same property, no one being
willing to accept the others ex-
animation and report. Prof.
Tnllis argued that the saving from
the TOrrens system in Louisiana
would largely liquidate the state
debt.-St. Francisville True Dem

Hang on tight" is good ad-

who hangs on tight to himself
when his temper is upset will get
through without hurting either
himself or others. The man
"hangs on tight" to his earnings
ends with a competence. The
man who 'hangs on tight" to
his place when business upsets
come generally holds down his
job. The man who "hangs on
tight" when encouragement or
even disaster upsets others is a
man to be hopeful about, because
he will keep right side up what

FAILURES IN LIFE.

The astounding statements ar,
made. based upon statistics, gath
cred by agents Of the government
that out of the twenty-three mil
lion families in the United States
only twenty-five per cent Of tn,
number own their own houses. II
is estimated also by these govern
ment statisticians that ninety
seven per cent of persons above
the age of sixty-fve years. are de
pendent upon relatives, friends OF
charity, for support and sus-
tenance.
No doubt. there were many of
the heads Of this great number of
families, as above indicated. who
started life with the best inten-
tons and often dreamed of the
hanpv homes that they would
some day build. and be the owner
of but alas! there came a day Of
failure. and the cherished hope of
a home paid for was abandoned,
