Higher COST
For Newspaper Service will Result From
Increased Paper Cost.

The newspapers all over the country
report to the Federal Trade Commission
that unless there is relief from the high
cost of news print paper, there will have
to he universally increased prices put
upon the newspaper service. In many
cities of the country prices to subscrib-
ers have already been advanced. and in
practically all Of the cities of the coun-
try increase in subscription prices will
soon become vital and unacceptable
necessity, despite the hesitancy and the
unwi!ingness on the part of newspaper
publishers to take such stand
Despite increase in subscription prices
and advertising rates it will be necessary
for newspapers to cut down the size of
their papers unless there is relief from
excessive cost of raw materials. AL
ready New York and Philadelphia pub.
fishers have materially reduced the
size of their issues.

STATE FAIR TO Be LARGE.

Mat S. Cohen. Commissioner of Ag-
riculture, says that in his honest opin-
ion the Kentucky State Fair will be
far better this year than ever. The
commissioner has been busy all sum-
mer getting things into shape but when
the time comes he will be ready for the
greatest State Fair in history. These
facts are substantiated by the number
of early entries coming in IN the various
live stock departments. MANY people
thought because Cohen had always been
a horseman that the State Fair during
his term OF office would he nothing
more than horse show. This impress
sion is incorrect because the present
indications point toward the greatest
live stock show ever held. As a matter
of fact the commissioner took away
from the horse department and added
to other departments.

As Crosby Sees Us.

Editor George Crosby, of the Windsor Town Cripr. in deference to an instinct acquired during long and successful incumbency in the presidency f the Windsor Business Mems Association keeps close tabs on the doings of the Canaan Business Mems Association, as the following excerpt from favorable mention in the Town Crier, will show:
 "Canaan is such live town that it would take n paper ten times the size of The News to record its activities. It has one of the most contemplating Business Mems Associations to be found anywhere. Its Clean up Week campaign has usually been completed need the time for new campaign of some sortl-before other places have begun to think sbout the subject.
 They celebrated 'Pay.Up' Week month ago. During this week every person in town who owed money wa urged to pay up at least portion nf their indebtedness. The campaign was great success. Business men received money on long dormant accounts-and business men paid money on long dor. mant accounts. Then Dollar Day was celebrated. Every merchant offered real and unusual values for real cash dollars, starting u lot of idle dol. lars to work and so benetiting every body.
 President Joseph L. Parsons of the Canaan Association is a hustler and he has hustling Board of Directors back of him. When they start something it goes-and goes with rush. The 'knocker' gets knocked out of the way in Canaan"

The Baby.

The Baby. What does the baby ask of you, Passerby in the street? Only the gift of thought from you, Only the gift of look from you, At the road before his feet. Is it smooth and clean and fit, say you Fit for a baby's feet? What does the baby say to you, You who pay no heed ? He begs for the right of living with
 you, Begs for the help of hand from you. What he begs is but his need. Will the hand and the help be ready from you,
 Serving the baby's need What does the baby give to you, Men whose vision is dim He gives you the sun to tighten your way; He gives you new hope for each dark day.
 Have you paid your debt to him? Have you smoothed his path and guided his way, Guarded and shielded him What does the baby keep for you. You whose need IS vast He keeps faith and hope and joy for you, Comfort and love and home for you, In his tiny hand held fast. Are you earning the gifts he is keep ing for you. You who are going past

Letters From the People
A Bit of Local History.

To the Editor of The News:
 In an old family album in the Hitch cock family is d photograph of George Kellogg, the father of Clara Louise Kellogg Strakosch. He was cousin to Frank Hitchcocks father, Cornish Hitchcock. These cousins used to work at the same trade years ago in New Hartford and were great friends, aside from relationship. He, MT. Kellogg, in the picture IS shown as a kindly, pleasant faced man, or we should say "eyed," as the face is almost covered to the eyes with long husky whiskers. Last summer we had thought of writing to the distinguished daughter of this man, telling her of the photograph of her father in the old album; but fear that she would think us relation hunters or something of that sort forbade. There were two brothers, George and John Kellogg, and their mother was a Hitchcock Emily N, We think-and the fathers name was Elijah Kellogg. H.

OUR NATIONAL AIR.

The Star Spangled Banner under went few moments of agonizing dis tFess, Tuesday afternoon, when "the entire audience" at the Memorial Day exercises stood up to sing it, at the command of Chairman Joe Parsons. Miss Olga Johnson, at the piano, gave the proper cue in the prelude, and the eneire audience buckled into it Bronaptly on time. The ''Say can you sse'' was charged in solid formation. but number dropped out after ''the dawn's early light,' and the ranks were further decimated at "the twi- lights last gleaming." There was a desperate show of rallying at "the broad stripes and bright stars,' how over, and it looked as if "the ramparts we watched" might be carried, after .a1, but it was vain hope, for many of the brave voices that had launched forth most valiantly in the original attack grew faint as the advance pressed forward; some backed out entirely at Giie first "rocket's red glare," while
 
 %'bembs bursting in air." but still a Handful of intrepid ones stuck to it, and more or less defantly proclaimed aIrat ''the flag was still there," but it was a thin red, line of panting sur viVors who reached "the land of the free and the home of the brave.
 There was well defined sigh of re- lief when that promised land was finally reached, but the relief was of short duration; for the piano interlude proclaimed second attack. This was infinitely more disastrous than the first, and betrayed the lamentable con. sequences of unpreparedn Even Judge Lockwood, the orator of the day, looked dismayed. There were few who were able to go into action at all, and still fewer who seemed to know wheth- CT to pull for "that shore dimly seen Ehrough the mists of the deep,' or go chasing "that band who so vauntingly swore, land while some were founder ing where the foes naughty host in dread silence reposes, other were wad- ing in gore through "the havoc of war ssnd the battles confusion" until, in xile third measure of the medley, prac- sically the whole panic stricken brigade retreated and abandoned "the home of the brave'' to it's fate, and Miss Johnson carried the thing the rest of the way to victory as piano solo
 We have in contemplation the open ing of night singing school, for the Obstruction of our national heirs in our national airs.
