War Costs Newspapers Much

rNew York Evening Post tells why
all the New York daily newspapers
have compelled to increase from / to
2 cents per copy.1
The announcement that beginning
tomorrow (Jan. 26) all the 1-cent
newspapers in Greater New York Will
go to cents in Erice ushers in re-
markable evolution, not to say revolu-
ton, in journalism. 1t Is only a few
years ago that newspaper men every
where were saying that the 1-cent
price had come to stay, that there
would never be change and that this
price was the basis Of the great cir
culation and remarkable prosperity OF
the leading metropolitan journals. Mr..
Ochs brilliant success with the Times
was, for example. quoted as proof thai
you must offer your publication for the
smallest piece Of money and that no
such record of converting a dying prop
erty into the best news gatherer in the
east could be made again, unless a l.
cent price was the foundation Of the
undertaking. But the war has changed
all that. The enormous increase in the
cost Of production. particularly in that
where reconsider the question and as
time passed they have been more and
more driven to the necessity Of in
creasing their price.
It has been a curious obsess among
the public that newspaper profit enor-
mously by war. This Is never the case.
save that they may have a slight cir
culation growth. The increased ex-
pense Of gathering news and the in
variable rise in prices accompanying
war offset the slight gain. Mr.. Nun
sey does not eXaggeratc whom he set
forth in the Sun recently the burdens
under which the newspapers are stag
gerIng. To increase advertising rates
is impossible for most of them: there
remains only the relief to be afforded
by an increase in the income from
sales and, after all. this is but doing
what manufacturers in every line Of
business have been compelled to do. In
st. Louis, in Chicago, In Pittsburgh and
the change has taken
place. as we'll as in many smaller cit
les. Beyond question. the example OF
New York Will now be compelling
everywhere. At first, 1t has been prov
ed, there Is q decrease in sales, but

laughing at! why the footprints Of
the little rabbits hind feet were always
in front Of tho mark of their fore feet.
Now, doesn't that seem funny to you?
And II you don't know why, I'll tell you.
When little rabbits are hopping fast
they put their hind feet down in front
Of their fore feet ana that Is why they
can make such great long jumps.
But Uncle Lucky and Billy Bunny
didn't think there was anything funny
in that, so they stopped and said to
Sammy Skunk, what are you laugh
ing at, Samuel Skunk, ESQ.,"
II was just laughing at the little
prints of your front feet behind the big
prints OF your hind feet" said Sammy
Skunk. II suppose some people would
think you were running backward"
and then he began to laugh again, and
perhaps he would have kept on laugh
Ing II that mischievious Jay Bird
hadn't thrown q SNOWFALL IN his mouth.
and then Of course Sammy Skunk
stopped laughing right away.
All the little Forest Folk
Love to play q little Joke"
sang the Jay Bird.
II think your Joke Is pretty punk"
Ansrfll said Mr.. Sunk
and then he ran back into his little
house to sleep for the rest Of the wins
ter. And after that the two little rab-
bits hoped away and in the next
story I'll tell you whom they meet.

MRS cosER MAKES STATEMENT.
Says There Was No Intention Of Thief
in Picking Up Purse.

in Picking Up Purse.
Following the publication Of the news
Of the justice court case in which Mrs
Henry Cober. Of Green Mountain, was
charged with the larceny Of a purse
belonging to Mrs. Emily Parker, Mrs
Cober today made a statement for
publication, in which she says that
she had no intention whatever Of steal-
ing the purse. The statement follows:
ITO whom it may concern: I. Mrs
Henry Cober, do not deny the charge
of picking up the pocketbook in the
Old Reliable drug store on Sunday ev-
ening, but it was not done with any
intent Of stealing. I was waiting for
change from a cream check had given
for three dishes Of ice cream and
thinking the purse was mine, opened it
and put my change into 1t. I went to
the table where friends were waiting
and laid the purse on the table before
noticing that I had some one else's
purse. I left it lie until we ate our
cream, and there was no other woman
In the store expecting our party and
the girl who was waiting on us.
II decided. as there was no name in
the purse to hold it for advertisement.
No thought Of stealing or keeping it
ever entered my head. i had no notice
Of anything wrong until was asked
by Mr.. Ward to produce the purse,
which i . did, with everything just as
when picked 1t up. was arrested
and paid my fine, but I can not feel
that am a thief, and not accountable
for my actions. I think my health Is
as good as the average person at my
age, and as for my son. am no differ
emit from hundreds Of other mothers.
(Signed) Mrs. Henry Cober."
Mrs. Parker also made statement
to the effect that she did not believe
Mrs Cober intended to steal the purse.
