Since the law prohibiting the Start
ing Of new papers went into effect
agents Of the Townley league have
been purchasing papers in small vii
lagos and moving them to county
seats. Their little game has now,
however, been called and they can no
longer resort to these tactics an or
der by the War Industries board has
turned the trick. It reads as follows:
Papers cannot be moved from one
town to another unless arrangements
had been completed before August 5.
or unless there is no paper in the. town
to which the paper is to move, and q
newspaper in that town is needed .
Town1ey, it is stated, has been paying
enormous prices for country papers
and subsidized others. This .subsi-
dization is conspicuously apparent in
at least one paper which comes to our
exchange table. But Townley can
we'll afford it SO long as life member
ship fes Of $10O each continue to roll
into his Golfers. He is merely invest
ing money for which he has promised
no returns in a personal political
venture.
