THE MATTER OF NEWS AND ADVERTISING.

Readers of this newspaper know that the white pa
per on which newspapers printed has scared In price
Publishers everywhere face serious problem IN arrang
ing for an adequate supply even at an advanced price
And white paper-called news prntconstltutes fu-
damental element of expense in the publication of news
paper material increase of price would 60 far toward
wiping out the usual profits of the average newspaper
To meet this situation publishers resorting to all
practicable consideration of text matter in the printing
of news In some instances advertisers have been re-
quested to use less space
This newspaper always priding Itself upon printing
the news without useless elaboration continues that pol
icv Always prdng itself upon printing the advertising
of local merchants fully and adequately, that policy will
be continued.
Readers are reminded that advertisements part
of the news They contain facts and information of i'm
mediate news value That they appear in space that
has been bought for the purpose does not lessen their
news value It simply that they to you that
sort of news which Immediately concerns and affects
you that they send to you messages bear
ing upon their business and thus properly pay for the
privilege.
But we need not remind you that the advertisements
are both interesting and important-that without them
this newspaper however fully and Interestingly it might
present the usual of the day. would be only in part
newspaper. Without them this newspaper-any news
paperwould fail to carry you the facts and nforma
ton having direct bearing upon your daily lives and
needs.
In Spite therefore, of the shortage of white paper
and Of its high price, you will receive in these pages the
record of the word it is made day by daythe story
of events near hand and the seas; and
with this record of world events you will always,
ceive the store news, the business news.
