NEWSPAPERS HIT BY WAR.

Year in advance, Its New Rate.


Year in advance, Its New Rate.
With the announcement that the
subscription price of The Smyrna
Times is to be on and after October
1, 1918, $1.50 a year in advance, a
number who are up and beyond Oc-
tober 1st are coming in to pay still
further at the old rate. This by an
order of the War Industries Board of
the United States would be against
the Federal rules even if we had in
tended such. Additional regulations
promulgated Saturday has it that:
''No publisher shall sell his paper at
retail less than his published price"
This along with a previous Federal
ruling that "nO publisher may con-
tinue subscriptions after three months
after date of expiration, unless sub
scriptions are renewed and paid for"
makes it important that every sub
scriber of the Times, see to it that
he is paid up and in advance by Octo-
ber 1st. The Government is doing
everything to conserve the paper sup
ply and publishers must make sworn
statements showing they are abiding
by the rules as laid down. by the War
Industries Board.

Fewer Japanese Silks.

Just as we had learned to value jap
anese silks and crepes and so on, es-
pecially as substitutes in these times
Of shortage Of so many materials, we
hear that certain ships engaged in the
Eastern trade, and that brought us
these serviceable and charming ma
terials, have been loaned to the i'm
perial government, and that has Gre
ated a scarcity in transportation ia
cilities. So geOrgettes, crepe de
chimes, and so on, are added to the list
of growing scarcities and advancing
prices. Added to this, little silk is
coming from the French and Italian
markets.
