Although daily newspapers in all parts of the country
are increasing subscription rates in order to meet the
heavy increase in the cost of print paper, The Sioux City
Qowa) Tribune still is taking orders at the old price of
$500 per year. There is no assurance that the present
rate can be maintained after the first OF the year, however,
and The Tribune management feels disposed to issue due
warning to old subscribers and prospective new subscrib-
No decision has yet been made to increase the price,
and everything possible will be done to avoid that step, but
conditions at the present time present problems that can
not be ignored by any business institution.
The increased price of print paper, announced by the
Minnesota and Ontario Paper Company-from which
source Sioux City papers receive their news print-wiA
amount to something more than $4,000 for the year
1920. This increase is over and above the increased cost
of $l5O,0O0 for print paper on account of advances in
paper prices during the past 18 months.
As based upon print paper contracts of 1920, the net
cost OF the white paper in a years subscription 1872 issues)
is more than $500. Were daily newspapers priced in the
same manner as other commodiies-cost of production
plus profit-the price of a years subscription would be
multiplied many times over quotations of the present day,
1t is the general theory of newspaper making, however, to
make advertising revenue cover part, of subscription costs
and this theory now is working to the benefit of those who
are securing daily newspapers for less than the cost of
the white paper.
While not prepared at the present time to make a def
mite statement as to subscription rates after January l,
1920, The Tribune management frankly advises both old
subscribers and prospective new subscribers to take adj
vantage of the existing $500 rate before January 1st.
Even if you are taking other newspapers now, you
cannot make a better investment of $500 than in paying
for a years subscription to The Sioux City Tribune. The
price includes the big Saturday edition with comic supple
ment, and an array Of daily and Saturday features not pro-
vided by any other newspaper in this section.

The annual Farm Bureau meeting and

resignation of County Agent Worden,
which all regret. The county budget will
be taken up, and plans laid for the

IN connection with the Farm Bureau

OF the splendid advancement that has been
made in agriculture in this county. A

LUXURY IN EARLY TRAVEL


The frequency with which boilers
olew up on the early Hudson river
Doats led to the use of what were
known as safety barges," and these,
IN their day, were considered the
utmost luxury in travel, comparable to
the private cars Of the magnates of
today. The barges were boats with
main and upper decks and were al
most as large as the steamers which
lowed them. The rabble rode on the
steamers, inhaled the smells of the
kitchen and the freight holds, endured
the noise Of the engines, and took the
chances Of explosions, while on the
barges behind the elite travelled In
luxurious state. Food was brought
from the boat kitchen to the barge
saloon over swaying bridge be-
tween the vessels and was served
with great aplomb under the direction
OF the barge captain, who was a noble
figure In the setting.
The upper decks of the barges were
canopied and decked with flowers
Win promenades and easy chairs from
which to view the scenery. At night
the Interiors were transformed into
sleeping accommodations much the
same as modern Pullman, except that
they were more commodious. Not the
least attractive feature of these barges,
according to chronicler of their ex-
ceiience, was ian elegant bar, most
sumptuously supplied with all that can
De desired by the most fastidious and
thirsty"
Recent news dispatches which tell
OF plans to establish floating cafes on
the ocean just outside the three-mile
territorial limit when the nation goes
dry, Indicate that luxurious floating
establishments somewhat similar to
these safety barges" may again come
into use.

The pig-tailed macaque or brok Of
the Malays Is highly Intelligent an
imal, and the Malays train them to
pick coconuts. The modus operandi Is
described by r. w. G. Shelford in "a
Naturalist in Borneo." A cord Is fast
ened round the monkeys waist and it
Is led TO the coconut palm, which it
rapidly climbs. 1t then lays hold of a
nut, and If the owner judges the fruit
to be ripe for plucking he shouts to the
monkey, which then twists the nut
round and round till the stalk Is bro
ken and lets it fall to the ground. If
the monkey catches hold Of an unrfpe
fruit the owner tugs the cord and the
monkey tries another. 1 have seen a
brok act as very efficient fruitpicker,
although the use of the cord was dis
pensed with altogether, the monkey be-
ing guided by the tones and infections
of his masters voice.

Poet Immortalized Hemp.

Longfellow has immortalized the uses
of hemp in his famous poem. "The
Ropewalk," In which he makes us see
the rope made into a swing for two
lovely maidens, the tightrope for the
tired, spangled girl of the cheap street
vaudeville show, the cord that the old
bell ringer pulls when he rings the
MONDAY hour; through his eyes we see
the schoolboy flying his kite, the farm
er's wife drawing bucket of cool wa
ter from the well on the old homestead,
and many other beautiful pictures.

Most Valuable Garnets.

The oriental garnets are the most
valuable and beautiful. They come
principally from Pegu; and the town
of Sirian having formerly been the
chief mart for them, they are hence
by corruption known among lapidaries
by the appellation Of Slrian-garnets.
They appear to be the carbuncle of the
ancients; their color is crimson, verg-
ing into very red violet; they are
transparent, and havs a conchoidal
fracture.

Less Crime, Fewer Carpets.

There does not at first glance seem
to be much connection between crime
and carpets, says the London Daily
Mail, but 1t is fact that the decrease
in crime brought about in India, as
elsewhere, by the war has led to a
decrease in the supply Of Indian car
pets. The reason is that most of these
carpets, especially the finer and more
expensive kinds, are made by convicts,
notably In the great jail at Peona.
They are made entirely by hand, so
II is a case of few convicts few carpets.

Burgundy at Its Best

Burgundy wines Of 1915 are report
ed by the most eminent connoisseurs
of Paris to be the best since 1855. In
fact their verdict is perfect"
The summer of 1915 was hot, so
was the autumn, with light rains now
and again at exactly the right inter-
walls. NJ. Matthew, celebrated savant
on the subject of wines, writes: "Since
1865 there has been no Burgundy like
that of 1915 In delicacy or strength.
The 1915 vintage is remarkable syn
thesis Of bouquet, aroma, body and
flavor"
But of course all this is Of merely
academic interest to US.

BURRlLL NATIONAL BANK.
Name to be Changed to Liberty Ma
tienaI Bank of Ellsworth.


tienal Bank of Ellsworth.
AT special meeting of the stock holders
OF the Burrill National bank last Satur-
day, at which all but ffty-six of the
shares were represented, it was unapi-
mously voted to change the title and to
add two directors from the western part
OF the county to represent recent new
stockholders and depositors in that Sec
ton.
Hon. A. e. Farnsworth of Brooklin and

terests OF this part Of the State.
This bank was the first commercial
bank to commence business in Ellsworth

mon, after its founder, the late Col. c. G.

bank have been widely distributed. and
because of this changed condition and to
conform with more recent custom, the
cnanRe IN title was made.
Formal announcement will be made at
later date when required government
formalities are completed. In the mean
time, customers checks, in fact, all BUSH
ness with the bank, will be as before
without regard to voted change in name.
The stockholders present at the meet
ing were favored with an interesting re-
port by President o. w. Foss as to
gratifying increase in new customers and
growth in deposits. Since Jan. / of this
year, more than 500 net gain in customers
and 100000 net gain in deposits have
been made.

Grecian BUILDING Materials.

Brick is the most common kind Of
building material in Saloniki and in all
New Greece. Wooden structures are
rare, on account of the shortage of
timber. Stone is little used, except
for underground walls and founda-
tons. Ordinary walls are built with
both plain and hollow bricks. The
former, being more solid, are generally
used for the building of lower stories,
while hollow bricks are commonly en-
ployed in the upper stages. The prin-
cipal kind of roofing used is made Of
