FIRST OPEN HEARING HELD.
Publishers Seek Changes in Con-
tracts for Purchase Of Paper.

Changes which newspaper publishers
want made in contracts and trade Gus
toms for the purchase of print paper
were outlined yesterday to the Federal
Trade Commission at the first open
hearing to obtain information on which
to fix paper prices.
A. G. Mcintyre, paper expert for the
publishers association, outlined changes
which publishers wished made in the
standard form OF contract. Foremost
was an insistence on a provision max.
ing the paper the absolute property O.
the publisher after purchase.
He said the usual contract contained
a clause limiting the use Of paper TO
the buyer within a specified time and
for certain editions of his publication.
The clause had been interpreted, ne
said, to mean that paper bought in one
year could not be used in another.
Objection was made also to clauses
providing for delivery in equal month
ly installments, fixing the weight vari-
alton at per cent. which was declared
too large, setting the time for payment
as the 18th of each month, which was
asked to be changed to the 2Oth. o.
thirty days from invoice, and providing
for the returning of paper roll core
by prepaid freight instead Of collect,
although it was agreed that the puo-
fishers should pay the freight IN the
end,

Wheat RequisitiOn.

| have just received orders from
the government to requlsltlon all
wheat in the hands of farmers and
elevators after April 25th, as 1T is
the desire of the government to nave
this wheat on the market by May
1St
Owing to the small amount OF
wheat in the country, it will be nee
essary for some of the farmers to
haul their wheat little farther than
usual to an elevator or mill, but
recollect the boys have, gone thous-
ands of miles away to fight our bat
ties. Waiting for a higher marker
will be no excuse for non-deliyery
as the government has set the price.
Where buyers are not willing to pay
fair price, you will refer the mat
ter to me for adjustment
We believe every person in the
county to be loyal and more than
willing to do whatever the govern,
ment asks us to do, yet should
there be those who refuse to. obey
this order, shall carry out the or
der of the government to the letter
The penalty for non-delivery is
the same as for boarding OF flour
