DRASTIC STEPS
TAKEN TO SAVE
WHITE PAPER
American Association Votes
for Increased Advertising
and Subscription Rates

NEW YORK, Nov. 17--In a
special meeting Of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association,
held yesterday in the Waldorf
toria Hotel, resolution was adopted
unanimously recommending chat
publishers everywhere be urged to
materially increase advertising and
subscription rates, and at the same
time limit the size of their issues"
These measures were recommend
ed the only practicable method Of
conserving the inadequate supply of
newsprint paper, which is wholly in
sufficient to meet increased demands
OF the consumers.
Though most of the members of
the association had been summoned
by telegraph to attend the special
meeting, as the crisis was regarded rs
urgent, more than one hundred res
ponded and took part in the delibera-
tions. The report of the committee
on resolutions, which was adopted
without dissent late in the afternoon,
follows:
paper manufacturers have told US
that there is worldwide shortage of
paper. At the present rate of con-
sumption the newspapers are using
about ten per cent more paper than
is being produced. This means an
animal Chortnoe on tho nreSpnt basis
of approximately 100000 tons. Your
committee therefore recommends:
"That the regulations of the War
Industries Board for the conservation
ofirews print be strictly adhered to,
and that the full text of all these re-
gulations be sent to all the daily and
Sunday newspapers of the United
States, whether or not they are mem
bers of the A. N. P. A..
"That the publishers everywhere be
urged to materially increase advertis-
ing and subscription rates, and at the
same time limit the size of their is
sues.
"That no newspaper enter into a
yearly contract. for advertising at q
fixed rate, but make rates adjustable
monthly or quarterly.
"That the A. N. P. A. send out a
standard from of adjustable contract
for. advertising.
"That the paper committee strong
ly discourage the boarding of print
paper"

Clark's arrest and Imprisonment Is
the result of an investigation of the
North Danville Halloween Celebration
by States Attorney James B. Camp
bell and Sheriff Wilbur Worthen
They found the alleged celebration q
very serious affair that outdid any
thing that might be construed as a
holiday night "prank."
1t appeared that on Halloween
night a crowd of about 20 boys led
by three or four men of which Clark
was one went TO the home of Mr..
and Mrs. William Hopkins, who lives
about mile out of the village of
North Danville. The same crowd had
been there on the previous Fourth of
July and had smashed up a hay rack
belonging to Mr.. Hopkins and did
other damage to the property.
The crowd showered the Hopkins
barn with stones breaking several
windows. Mr.. Hopkins, whose affairs
are managed by guardian, was
alone in the house with his wife. The
boys had told him that they would
be around that night and for him to
look OUT. He had bought four
charges of bird shot for his shotgun.
Following the fussilade of stones
came number of shots. 1t appears
that these were from "blank" re-
volver cartridges.
Hopkins feared that further dam
age would be done so he Went to the
door and discharged the shot gun.
Some of the shots struck the clothing
of the boys, They retired from shoot
ing distance for time.
Clark, who after given a severe
glilling by the officers, confessed his
part il the affair, admitted that af-
ter Hopkins came to the door with
the shot gun he reloaded his revol-
yer which he had filled with blank
cartridges and replaced them with
loaded ones. The crowd then re-
turned to the house.
The officers found several bullet
holes through panes of glass in the
windows of the living rooms of the
Hopkins house. Hopkins told the
officers that he and his wife couched
below the windows until such time as
they could escape into their chamber.
The evening Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1918-1920, 1919-11-17

The shooting lasted for some
minutes. The bullets came crashing
through the window panes and were
buried in the plastered walls of the
room.
1t was considered remarkable that
Hopkins and his wife escaped death
in the fussilade of bullets. The Of
fcers dug out the bullets and were
able to trace them to Clark IS revolver.
This was before he had confessed and
while the different boys had still tried
to maintain that the entire affair was
a Halloween prank"
States Attorney Campbell said to-
day: 81 believe this case is very
serious one and one that must be
made an example to other Halloween
celebrations. They must be taught
that they cannot discount law and
owner in their holiday celebrations" !"

merchants the price of the Thanks

pound. This is even higher than last
year and Vermont turkeys @ill. not
only come high, but are a scarce ar
ticle in the market. Chickens are now
selling at 45 cents a pound and
fresh eggs are now so cents. dozen
and better The high price of these
staple articles is due not only to the
high cost of feed, but because of the
scarcity of the product.

More Shopping Days
Before Christmas

One of the largest clothing
houses in the United States
made survey of st. Johnsbury
from an advertising point Of
view and made the following re-
port in regard to the amount of
advertising their local AGENTS
should do:
Daily newspaper $4,000
Weekly newspaper G000
1000 Personal Letters 10000
1000 Stylebooks 1000
Signboards 10000
Slides, etc. 1000
SO far as the value of advcrtis-
ing to the local merchant was
concerned he could have elimin-
ated the sign boards and person
al letters. The national adycr-
tiser gets a benefit from his goods
being seen on & sign board in
every town as one passes from
one state to another or from one
town to another. A local mer-
chant is one Of a chain which the
national advertiser gets the
benefit OF at the eXpeAse Of the
local merchant.
If all the merchants figured
their advertising on the same
basis as this national concern
which had an expert make the
analysis the daily newspapers
would receive much more adver-
tising than at present.
The greatest claim of daily
newspaper advertising is that the
advertiser must of necessity read
the advertisements. And local
people have a pride in their home
paper and patronize the nler-
chants who advertise in it.
