THE HIGH COST OF ADVER-
TISING.

Newspapers everywhere are be-
ing forced to raise their advertis-
ing and subscription rates in or
der to cope with the high price
Of print paper and meet other in
creasing items in their cost Of
production. In view of the high
cost of all kinds OF merchandise,
this increase in the price of news
paper space should occasion no
surprise. With a higher price
level generally, the cost of adver-
tising is bound to be greater than
it was in the past.
The Express, in common with
other papers, has recently in
creased its charges for advertis-
ing but, oddly enough even at the
increased rates, the price Of ad-
vertising in Chickasha is lower
than il was 16 years ago When
the present publisher of the Ex-
press came to Chickasha the ad-
vertising rate of the paper was
10 cents per inch for irregular adj
vertising while for standing
ads" running unchanged by the
month. the charge was 10 censt
per inch At that time the eircu-
lation Of the paper was about 400.
II the same rate per 100 papers
circulated were in force now, the
rate per inch would be more than
80 cents, while for the standing
ads +" the lowest rate would be IN
excess Of $3.50 per inch. The
value of advertising is determined
principally by the number of pa
pers distributed On the basis Of |
service rendered. the new rates
we have established are, therefore, |
lower than the advertiser paid |
years ago when the cost Of |
labor, paper and every other
item entering inro the cost
of production was less than one
third Of what it is today

DEMOCRACY DEFINED

Our democracy means that we
have no privileged class, no class
that is exempt from the duties or
deprived of the privileges that are
implied in the words American
citizenship. !" The law of Ameri-
can life " must be the law OF
work; not the law Of idleness; not
the law of self-indulgence or
pleasure, merely the law of work
y 1t is a disgrace for any
American not to do his duty: it is
a double, a triple disgrace for
man of means or a man Of educa-
tion not to do his duty--Theodore
Roosevelt.

A COMMUNITY TASK.

Mayor Durbin well says that
everybody should look after his
own fuel supply as far as possible
Nobody has any right to ask help
until he has helped himself as
much as he can.
II is evident, however, that the
securing Of fuel supply is not a
problem that can be solved single
handed. 1t is a community task
and to work it out will require
the cooperation Of all our citi-
zens. We are looking to the mu-
nicipal administration to take the
initiative but the men in charge
Of our city government can do
nothing without the assistance OF
the people. They must get labor,
no easy task at this time, and in
dozens Of ways they must have
cooperation.
A good beginning has been
made toward securing a supply of
wood but it is only a beginning,
and it is not what we begin but
what we finish that will help us.
With wood near at hand, it |
should not be difficult to work
out the necessary plans for get
ting it. 1t can and must be done

BRITISH PRICE ALWAYS SANE
Stamp Is Dated When Purchased and
Is Due Exactly Five Years From
Date-War Savings Societies
Are Popular.

Washington.-An interesting com
parison between the systems of VA
Savings stamps in Great Britain and
America is made by the savings divi-
sion of the United States treasury.
England had been selling Var Saw
ings certificates for more than a year
before this attractive form Of invest
ment vas offered to the people Of the
United States. This country has had
the advantage of the Britons' expert
ence In this field, and while the two
savings stamps are alike in most re-
spects, there are o few interesting diff
ferences.
The British War; Savings stamp Is
dated when purchased and is due ex-
actly five years from hat date. This
ways for the same-15s. Cd. $3.50.
The American War Savings stamps
are issued in annual series, and each
series has a uniform date of Issuance
and OF maturity. The present rate is
kept uniform by increasing the pur-
chase price one cent each month. This
means that all of the 1919 War Savings
stamps will mature in January, 1924,
while In three or four years British
War Savings stamps will begin coming
up for redemption in varying amounts
each day.
The British System.
The British have devolved the sys-
tenn of purchasing the regular sixpence
postage stamps, which are pasted on a
card until 81 are obtained. Then the
card is exchanged for a War Savings
certificate. Americans, on the other
hand, a purchase a 25-cent Thrift
stamp, and thus gradually accumulate
the required 16 stamps necessary to
purchase a War Savings stamp, add
Ing, of course, the necessary amount
according TO the month, namely, II
cents for January or % cents for De-
cember.
War Savings societies, or associa-
tons as the British term them, are
very numerous in the British Isles.
Each person affiliated with the assocl-
alton contributes either a fixed sum or
any amount he can at regular inter
walls, say, each week. Whenever the
secretary finds los. Cd. or more in the
treasury he Immediately purchases n
or more War Savings certificates for
his society. so that the certificates be
gin to draw interest. As Don as a

their payments 1t is customary to draw
lots for the advantage of the earliest
dated certificates in the association
treasury. Thus. the lucky person may
obtain a certificate which has been
accommodating interest for weeks pos
sibly, while the last stamp drawn will,
of course, be only a few days old.
These associations, which are estab-
lished in churches, schools, shops and
factories. give interest and a bit of
competition to saving while the week
ly drawings add a touch Of excite
ment.
Exempt From Taxation.
Both British Savings certificates and
American War Savings stamps are er-
empt from taxation, and for this and
other reasons there Is a Limitation to
the amount that may be held by one
individual. In the early war days In
England persons with income exceed
ing $500 were not permitted to buy
Savings stamps. This condition was
later changed so that anyone may hold
Savings certificates up to about $500
maturity value. In the United
States one individual may not hold
more than $1,000 Of any M series. In
both countries there is no limitation
preventing each member of a family
from holding the prescribed limit.
