There is Jewish boy in a

The men in his ward are intense

his story to Rabbi Jacob Kohn

morale of the American fighter.
He is now aiding the United War

The boy was from Chicago
and was assigned to the artil-
lery. All the men Of his battery
were either killed or wounded
and he carried their bodies to
the ambulances under fire.
Then he went back to the task
of working his gun alone. AL
though blood streamed from a
wound, he ket steadily on. The
captain of another outfit ordered
him to leave.

times, French and American

gun. = =

increased in price. The news
paper that does not have suffi-
Gent income to pay the increased
expenses must, of course, sus-
pend. There is no other alterna-
tive.
A newspaper has but two
sources of income-one is mon
ey paid for subscriptions and
the other is money paid for adj
vertising. Next to labor, print
paper is the largest item OF ex-
penst in producing a newspaper.
This ruling compels the news
paper to pay for the paper it has
used for the past nine months
Is per cent in addition to what
it has already paid, This is re-
troactive for the period back to
january, 1918. The newspaper
cannot make it's business retro
active. All it can do is put into
effect increases effective at the
expiration of existing subscrip-
ton and advertising contracts
and hope that it has credit suf-
ficient to carry it over the period

Louisiana Sugar Report.

John S. Dennee, 339 Postoffice
Building, New Orleans, La, field
agent for the Bureau of Crop
Estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, issues
on authority Of the bureau the
following crop data based on Sc
.lected reports from many cane
growers and from his own OBJ
servations.
The percentage condition of
sugar cane on November l is
estimated at 80 per cent of a nor
NAL crop against 88 a month ago.
The condition on November l,
1917, was 81 per cent, and on
November l, 1916, SO per cent.
The ten-year average of condi-
ton on November l is 1929 per
cent.
A condition of 80 per cent on
November / forecasts a probable
production of 4,968,0O0 short
tons of cane. If the cane yields
1873 pounds of sugar per ton, the
average during the past seven
years. the indicated production
on November 1, after allowing
the quantities of cane generally
used for syrup making and seed
ing next years crop, is about
273.433 short tons of sugar.
The final out-turn will be
larger or smaller than this guam
ity. depending upon conditions
hereafter, whether better or
worse than average conditions.
From the cane harvested in
1917, 243,60O short tons of
sugar were made; and 100000
short tons from the harvest of
1916.
Summary of the Situation.
The sugar prospect during Oc-
tober improved about $500 tons.
Throughout almost the entire
belt plant cane is very promis-
ing, but general rains are keep
ing the stalks rank and green,
Some real "ripening weather" is
necessary to heighten the sugar
content. Stubble also shows
some improvement. Harvesting
is being conducted under diff
culties; too much wet weather
too much influenza; and toe
much shortage of field help. But
| the work is being done where
possible.
The thought uppermost with
planters now is how is the cror
| to be saved. The fear of a kill
ing frost has not been realized
but planters well remember that
last October brought three
freezes, and they are on the
alert. The labor prospect can
hardly be said to be growire
any clearer. The situation calls
/ for immediate relief if largc
areas of cane are not to be lost
but Indifference still is the rule
A few sugar houses COM
menced grinding week later
than originally planned, but
soon had to shut down because
of inability to get cane in large
enough quantities to continue
operations.

Newspaper Costs

climbing Newspaper Costs
During the last week two i'm
portant newspapers of Milwaukee
consolidated. A few weeks ago
there was a consolidation at
Muscatine. The suspension of
the Chicago Herald, which was
combined with the Examiner, is
still fresh in mind. All over this
country newspapers have been
forced to suspend or to CONSOLE
date until now the number that
have ceased publication since the
beginning Of the war is over l,
200. These changes have been
forced by the ever-increasing
costs of publishing newspapers.
One of these is the increase in
price of white paper. Early in
the war price of print paper in
rolls was $37 to 500 ton. After
a few months the government
undertook to regulate the prices
and the supply for the reason
that the shipment of print paper
requires railway facilities and
the manufacture of print paper
consumes wood and coal.
Prices Rise Rapidly.
The first price set was $62 a
ton, a large increast over normal,
beginning January l, 1918. The
print-paper manufacturers pro-
tested to the federal trade COM
mission that this price was rot
adequate. Finally the question
was referred to the circuit court
Of New York, which ruled that
the price should be $40 a ton and
that newspapers would have to
pay the print-paper manufacture
ers So ton additional for all the
paper they had used since the
first of last January. Thus the
newspapers had to pay So ton
in addition to the price they had
already paid for nine months
back.
! But that is not all. The judges
of the circuit court of New York
recommended that the paper
manufacturers were entitled to
even more than $40 q ton. The
court says they ought to have
50 a ton more for increased
freight rates-not of the paper
to the newspapers, for the news
papers have to pay that in addi-
ton to the cost of paper at the
mill-but increase of freight
rates the paper manufacturers
have to pay for shipping wood
and sulphite to the paper mills.
The court also recommends that
SO a ton should be added to the
price of paper to cover the in
crease of wages of the men work
ing in the paper mills and in the
woods getting out the raw mater
ial.
Publishers Face Difficulty.
This will add $40 more to the
price of paper and will date back
several months making the price
$50 a ton more than double the
normal price. An increase of
freight rates effective since July
/ to Is per cent further adds to
the cost of paper when it is de-
llvered to the newspapers. In
the old days the price used to in
clude it's delivery at the news
paper office, freight paid. Now
it does not.
Every daily newspaper has to
make to the government a daily
report showing the exact number
of papers printed, the number
| of pounds used and the number
of pounds on hand. The gov
eminent strictly prohibits COM
plimentary copies.
Every other thing that is used
in the making of newspapers has
