INCREASE IN PRICE NECES-
SARY IF YOU WANT TO
STAY IN BUSINESS.

Lawrence, Kan.-Aug. 49,
After a thorough investigation
and canvass. Of the newspaper sit
uation the department. Of jour
nalism of the Kansas universit,
has issued the following bulletin
"The newspapers of the United
States today face situation I'm
paralleled in the history of tn
press of this country. The pub
lie has felt the effect of the Flu
ropean war in purchasing com
modities, and it is about to fee
its effect upon the price Of news
papers. 1t is now up to the news
papers to tell their readerns and
advertisers why an increase in
price is necessary. In other
words, the press faces an educa-
tional campaign for it's own sal
walton.
"When the average man pur-
chases a staple article today and
finds the price has increased from
% to so per cent. he already
knows or is told that the war has
brought about such a condition.
The manufacturer of that article
has already perhaps advertised
the fact that he is compelled to
increase his prices. No industry
is more seriously affected by the
war than the newspapers Of this
country, and yet an increase in
advertising or circulation rates is
Immediately frowned upon be-
cause the newspapers have failed
to inform the public to what a
great extent they are affected by
the war.
II the newspapers will tell
their readers and advertisers that
the price of some inks has in
creased 400 per cent; that rags,
the raw material for paper-mak-
ing. is also used for the manufac-
ture of high explosives and has
assembled in cost on a level with
the Eiffel Tower; that French
bleach. so necessary for the man.
nfacture of paper, can hardly be
had at any price, and that a score
OF other necessary chemicals
have jumped almost out of sight,
they will find their tasks of rails
ing rates much easier. THAT all |
newspapers will be compelled to
take such action is certain. Many
have already done so, and the
paper attempting to adhere to it's |
old rate basis will soon find the
sheriff locking the front door. |
The big paper mills of the coun-
try see no relief in sight for many |
even should the great |
war cease this summer, something
now unexpected. The newspap-
ers of this country will be COM
PEELED to do what the big manu-
lecturers have already DONE
raise their rates in proportion to
the increased cost Of production.

Mr.. Parker's speech at Jeane.
rette was not on Third district
politics; in fact, he says he never
touched the issues or the situa-
ton out there. He delivered his
Indianapolis speech with a few
variations.
- He made a strong plea for the
dipping vat. Iberia has shown
opposition TO dipping, and the
matter was carried to Washing
ton. During the morning Mr..
Parker and a party of friends
motored to the new government
vat between New iberia and
Jeanerette.
In his speech in the afternoon.
Mr.. Parker urged the people of
that section to utilize the vat !;
he urged its Importance as in
creasing the value of the skins
and the cattle, and also as an aid
to increasing the weight Of the
cattle.
Wants Longer School Terms.
Schools and the need of sub
stantial terms were taken up by
the speaker. He declared that
useless Offices were retained in
the State service and politicians
paid twelve months in the year
to do nothing, while the public
were forced to close and
the teachers were given only six
or eight months salary out of the
year.
Dropping into politics, he SAID:
my fight in Louisiana was a
young mans fight-it was for
future. Democrats in the South
denounce me; in the North the
Republicans fay me.''
Mr.. Parker said he stood
for. the following:
A graduated income tax.
"A graduated inheritance tax.
A large munitions tax.
Compulsory military training.

men realize that they are simple

met discussed the Mexican situation
Tuesday, but the President had autho-
rized the new troops orders before his
advisers got there.
Gen. Scott and Gen. Funston recon-
mended that additional forces be sent
to the border. After an exchange OF
kilograms, Gen. Funston suggested
that the national guard from the three

infantry to join his command. His
suggestion was promptly approved and
orders dispatched.
Some members of the cabinet were
frankly pessimistic. after the meeting,
over the delay of Gen Obregon in rat.
flying the agreement he negotiated
with Gen. Scott covering cooperative
border operations, including those OF
Gen. Pershing's expedition. Reports
from Mexico City indicated that the
agreement had been approved by Gen
Carranza, and officials were at loss
to understand Obregon's action.
The majority of the Presidents ad
visers believed the agreement finally
would be ratified, and that the border
situation would clear itself quickly
thereafter
1t was clearly intimated in all quar-
ters, however. that there would be nc
change in the policy of the Washing
ton government; that the troops woula
stay in Mexico until the border was
safe from incursions; that raiders
would be pursued across the line
every time they became active, ami
that the whole strength of the nationa
guard would be used If necessary.
