LONDON REPORT OF SERIOUS
 PAPER CRISIS

London, May 2-The express. says that there is an acute crisis in the paper trade in Great Britain, because of the submarine activities, and that imports of raw material have almost stopped. Several paper mills have been obliged to close and imports in the last few weeks were only 10 per cent. of the restricted amount al- lowed by the government.
 There is no prospect of improve ment, as every ton of shipping will be needed .henceforth for food. A further reduction in the size of the newspapers is regarded as inevitable. Paper which before the war cost the newspaper publishers two cents a pound is now nine cents.

HERE'S AN ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT A
SINGLE DOLLAR WILL DO IN A WEEKS TIME
WHEN KEPT IN AMARILLO
A banker in western city Of less than 10000
population marked single dollar bill with the in
sructionS that same should be kept in that city and
each transaction in which this dollar bill was con-
cerned to be reported to the bank, and the original
dollar bill to be returned to the bank at the end of
one weeks time The dollar bill was passed out to
customer on Monday morning and by The end of
the week il had been heard from exactly l2S times,
each time figuring in transaction amcng home
people in their home town. 1t had paid butchers,
grocers dry goods merchants, hardware mer-
chants, the landlord, the ice-man, the laundry
man, the milk man, the wash woman and had
served dozens Of other useful purposes. One resi-
dent reported that the bill had passed through his
hands on three different occasions during the
week, each time to be passed on with its important
mission Of usefulness
Amarillo daily news. [volume] (Amarillo, Tex.) 19??-current, 1917-04-29

This illustration shows in conclusive man
ner what sing lie dollar can do when kept in ANA
rillo. proves beyond the question Of doubt the
utter folly Of taking or sending your money out Of
Amarillo to be spent.
Just think what it means when single dollar
will pay or help to pay l2S obligations in single
week; just think what it means if every dollar that
is now carried out Of the city Of Amarillo was kept
here at home to help in its small way to pay the
thousands Of these obligations that now exist
Think Of the hundreds of accounts that are now
carried on the books of the merchants and business
men in all lines that could be wiped out in months
time.
Surely Amarillo would be more prosperous
and her citizens happier lot, because WHAT
EVER MAKES FOR THE PROSPERITY OF THIS
COMMUNITY, MAKES FOR THE HAPPINESS
OF IT'S CITIZENS.
