JOURNAL FORCED TO
FALL into LINE

The Journal can no longer resist
the sweeping tide Of high prices.
Dating from the coming Indepen-
dence Day, July a, 1915 its sub
scription price will be S1.50 per year.
Until that time it will accept pay
ment for not more than one year
in advance.
The time was, when it took six
bushels of corn to pay for the
Journal one year. If the editor
could get that now, he would have
to choose between becoming a
bloated plutocrat and sailing down
barrel full Of liberty bonds; and
he would choose the latter in nigh
ty short order, you may be sure.
Measured by Audubon County's
principal products, the paper will
be bringing, even at the new price,
just about a sixth of what was
charged for it twenty years ago.

One day the first Of the week,
four Of our townsmen, namely De
pot Agent Roy Powers, Standard
Oil Boss Mike Harmed Section
Boss Will Houck and, Farmer Ed
Milliman went on fishing trip near
Brayton. We failed to see any fish
and the boys are telling a joke on
Ed, blaming the poor little fellow
fer soaring the fish away. They say
Ed got wet when he mistook deep
hole for a shallow stream and when
he attempted to jump across he
landed right in the middle of the
stream. So, for fear his wife might
notice his clothes, he tried to wash
them out, making matters worse.
But anyway, HE with the rest Of
the boys report splendid time.
