Prosecute Print Paper 'Pirates''
Investigations Show Small Rise in Costs,
But 200 Per Cent in Selling Price.


MINNEAPOLIS, July 10. Necessity for
organization, economy and cooperation
among newspaper publishers was empha-
sized in the report of the executive COM
mittee of the National Editorial Associa-
ton which was presented by G. S. Hos
mer of Denver, chairman of the COM
mittee.
His report dealt with the efforts of pub
fishers to obtain print paper at reasonable
prices and also touched on economies
which should be practiced by publishers
During the past year," said Mr.. Hos
mer, this committee has assumed the
burden of attempting to protect the news
papermen, particularly those operating
small firms from the greed of the print
paper trust.
Investigation by the federal trade
commission and by our committee has
clearly shown that there has been only a
slight increase in the cost of manufac-
turing print paper since 1915, and you all
know the increase has been from so per
cent. to 200 per cent. in the selling price.
81 would estimate that the work that
has been done by this organization and
the various other press and educational
organizations of the country, has saved
and will save the newspaper publishers
during 1917 at least S25, 900, 900 over what
they would have had to pay had the fight
not been taken up by us year ago
cit seems to me that what should be
done is to give the federal trade commits
sion specific power to fix prices and take
charge of distribution of print paper. If
that is not sufficient give the trade COM
mission power to take over the mills and
operate them during the war period We
are now in a critical condition in this
country and the pirates who have been
holding us up on print paper as well as
those who have been holding the people
up on foods should be prosecuted and their
privileges curtailed."
OF postage rates, the report said that
fair basis would be one which took into
account the differences between a pub
Usher sending his paper 1000 miles and one
whose mailing limit was two miles.
Opposition to free advertising and pub
licity by newspapers of the country was
voiced by speakers. S. G. Goldthwaite
of Boone, Ia, president of the Iowa Press
Association, recommended the appoint
ment of a field secretary to conduct a
campaign against free advertising.
despite the great progress of the last
25 years, too many newspapers still run a
column of free reading matter to obtain
space advertisement, he declared.
''The government has Communicated adj
vertising space in newspapers for many
years. Payment should be made for this
space"

WONDERFUL STUFF!
LIFT OUT YOUR CORNS
Apply a few drops then lift corns or
caIIuses off with fingers
no pain.

No humbug! Any corn, whether hard,
soft or between the toes, will loosen
right up and lift out, without q particle
of pain or soreness.
This drug is called frcezone and is a
compound Of ether discovered by q Gin.
einnati nun.
Ask at any drug store for a small
bottle Of freezone, which will cost but
a triilc, but is sufficient to rid ones
feet OF every corn or callus.
Put a few drops directly upon any
tender, aching corn or callus. Instantly
the soreness disappears and shortly the
corn or callus will loosen and can be
lifted off with the fingers.
This drug %frcezonc doesn't eat out the
corns or c~alluscs hut shrivels them with
out even irritating the surrounding skin.
Just think! No pain at all; no sore
ness or smarting when applying it or
afterwards. If your druggist don't have
freezonc have him order it for you.
