NOR more than two years the ever-increasing adj

necessity of increase in price of subscription to the Ga

but all the while realized that up against
losing proposition. The present price Of newspaper
necessities appalling. News print has advanced
considerably 100 per cent; printers ink has risen
from 100 to 500 per cent; everybody knows how oils
and gasoline have freight rates have been
raised. 1t costs twice much to publish a
paper to-day it did before the began Why
should not the selling price of newspaper be increased?
The Tensas Gazette no longer be published for
l5O year, except at a loss. To continue that sub
scripon price will operate much to disadvant
age that it may threaten the life of the paper We
not longer give the paper to readers at that fig

year, beginning January 1st. All subscriptions now
running will be collected on 81 so basis, but all

of our readers, if any there are who do pay
50 90 year for the Gazette invited to discontinue
their subscriptions. We cannot afford carry any sub

ons accepted for 81 so before January 1st will be faith

be accepted at that figure after the New Year, so we
again say let all of readers if any there be- who do
not want to pay $500 for the Gazette notify cut

The gross materialism of the age has
had tendency to lower the standards
OF Literature and Art i'm the civilized
world. Hence, when we chance upon a
book like Memories" it instantly at
tracts by its wide divergence from the
current literature of the day; and ap-
peals to US, no less by the ideality of
its conceptions, than by the purity of
the characters it delineates.
Sir Walter Scott, in one of his in
comparable descriptions, tells US of An
Oasis in the Syrian Desert, that stood
out i'm such clear relief from its harsh
surroundings; and so refreshing was
it to each sense and sensibility of man,
that it was named by the Arabs "The
Diamond of the Desert"
This Gem of Literature of Miss New
toms, coming as it does in this ma
terial day, and entering into the arena
of Literature, so much of which is
meretricious, and so much of which
is sterile of anything like psychic cul-
ture, can safely be compared to one
of the veritable Diamonds in the Des-
ert of modern Literature.
Trained and analytic critics will nc
doubt present the merits of this work
in forceful and technical reviews, and
give to its rank in literature. But for
rank and file of readers, nothing could
attest the soul belt charm of this work
than the criticism of a maid in hel
teens, who being asked what she
thought of the book, replied: 81 DOM
know. 1t made me cry. 1 want to
read it again."
So when a writer can make the heart
and brain of the tender maiden respond
with sympathy to the pathos of sub
lime sorrow, or thrill with pride at the
perfection of a human love, she in
spires her pen with that touch of ge-
MUS which make the marble breathe
and the canvas glow.
Creative power, in the lining of her
character delineations, distinguish this
beautiful production throughout ant
our people in this community shoul6
feel pride in the success of this gift.

Farrell Presents Report on Gaining Foreign Trade
 at Pittsburg Meeting

Pittsburg, Pa, January 2S.-The future of American foreign trade will depend upon the legalization of cooperation in export sales, the formulation of sound shipping policy and the creation of ma chnery for a flexible tariff, according to a general report presented at the closing session of the national foreign trade council Saturday. The report was formulated by a general committee rep resenting all lines of industry and was presented by President James A. Far rell of the United States Steel corpora ton, chairman of the council.
 ITO meet world competition after the war the report stated. "American busi- ness must be relieved of disadvantages imposed by legislation and protected by governmental action from possible dis criminaton in foreign markets"
 The report recommended the removal of doubt as to the application of anti trust laws to export commerce" the passage by Congress of the Webb bill, the development of a sound shipping policy calculated to increase the national income and better the transportation service under the American flag with foreign countries the careful study of new commercial treaties made after the European war and a tariff which re- gardless of it's underlying principle should possess adequate resources for the en- couragement and protection of the foreign trade of the United States.

 The first long trip that Dr. Wright made was a journey to Fairfield. On the return trip down Avenue k he was passed by all kinds of vehicles, so he decided to squirt up a bit. Notic- ing that he seemed to be gaining on a vehicle a short distance in front of him he decided to make effort to pass it before reaching Nineteenth street. Slowly but surely, inch by inch. he gained on the vehicle. He began to feel the thrill of the race and put the carsup notch and just when he felt he had the race in his grasp the-the OK wagon turned off Avenue E and meandered up Twentieth street.
 That's what l call hard 1uck,' he remarked. "If that OK wagon had gone another block I would have overtaken it sure"

Determined to crank it any how, he gave the crank tremendous jerk It missed connection and back kickedv him on the arm, almost break ing it.
 "Oueh" yelled the parson, as he grabbed his arm and danced from the pain. He glared wrathfully at the car then at the smiling bystanders, among W hom was Hoke Perkins, who said:
 Can I do anything for you, Broth CT Waites?"
 "Yes, Brother Perkins, you can," came the reply. Please say something appropriate"
