Print Paper Prices

Davenport Times: The announce.
ment in the Times yesterday that its
supply of print paper Tor the year 1920
Will cost $4,000 more than the supply
for the present year gives the COM
munity some conception of the mount
ing expenses that newspapers gen.
orally are facing as a result of the
print paper shortage throughout the
country.
The prices fixed by the paper mills
for the supply for the Times and a
large number Of other papers is sos
a ton for 1920 as compared with SIS
a ton for 1919. The price is the price
at the mill and the freight and car
tage in Davenport have to be added.
This is $40 ton increase in the price
OF paper at the MILL
In 1914. the first year of the World
war, the price of print paper, paid by
the Times, was $39 a ton. Contrast
this, if you please, with the $98 that
will have to be paid next year. Elk
pressed in terms OF percentage the in
crease in price of print paper from
1914 to 1920, period of six years, has
been little more than ISL per cent.
Like increases of costs in all other
lines of business this increase has
been caused by number of factors.
Among the factors causing this in
crease in the price Of paper is the
failure during the war, because CAPT
tai was diverted to other uses, to con-
Istruct new mills to keep pace with
the growing demand for print paper,
increase of wages and shorter hours
of mill workers, increase in price of
local and chemicals, growing scarcity
of pulp timber, export demand because
Europe was not making the paper it
needed, and high prices for other
kinds of papers to which some of the
mills devoted their attention instead
of making print paper During the
last year advertising has increased
Everywhere, causing an increased de-
mand for paper because of the larger
number of pages printed.

Situated in the heart of the Salt River valley where nature has as- sembled all the requirements for re- building health and renewed energy is St. Luke's Home, a tubercular sani- tarium, which from a modest begin ming has grown from year to year, erecting modern buildings. and enlarg- ing it's facilities until today there sands on the Tempe road three miles from Phoenix on a site where eleven years ago there were but four or five small frame cottages. one Of the finest tuber- cular sanitariums in the country.
 To this splendid equipment there re- gently had been added four new bun galows for the accommodation of SOL diers and civilians, the dedication of which will be held at o'clock Thurs day. March 13, the outstanding event in the history of St. Luke's for the year 1919.
 The dedicatory exercises will be con- ductod by the Rt Rev. Julius W. At wood, Episcopal bishop of Arizona. The board of trustees of St. Luke extend an invitation Co the public to attend.
 Annual Donation Day
 In addition to the dedication of the new bungalows, the day will be ob- served as the annual donation day on which occasion patrons of St. Luke g may renew their allegiance by pre- seuting their yearly contributions for the support ot that most worthy in- stitution. and day for a new ac- quaintances to place their names on the list Of donors.

Beginning w..-.- ----. -lp-tAl or but Ss,000. a sanitarlun has been built which now is worth fully s70,000 at the present time. During the past 10 years there has been s2OO, 900 expended for maintenance of the institution. From nothing there gradually had been acquired an endowment which amounts to $46.e00 for this year. But the receipts have been unequal to the demands upon this instltutiou, there being a deficit for the ten years of about $SO,000.
 Where Credit is Due
 The raising of the large amount of money which has been expended by this institution has been largely due to the efforts of Bishop J. W. Atwood, who since the establishment of St Luke's Home has exerted untiring eff forts toward it's maintenance
 For eleven years, Rev. Bertrand R. Cocks has been superintendent of St Luke's. and not enough can be said of the warm interest. earnest devotion and untiring work which he has given to this institution and which has resulted in the big advancement and steady, ef- fective growth of this sanitarium.
 St. Luke's Home is conducted on 9 Christian plan and with a certain re- gime which regulates each day. This, it has been demonstrated, has aided greatly in the quick and permanent re- covery of health. Certain hours arc designated for recreation and certainl hours for rest, and the strict observa- tion of this discipline has been one of the main aids at St. Luke's toward speedy health
 New Bungalows Modern
 St. Luke's Home covers about seven acres. set in the heart of the desert near Camel Back mountain and on the site of what once was an Indian village The four new bungalows which will be dedicated on Thursday are modern n every detail, containing equipment that is up-to date. There are dressing rooms and hot and cold shower baths. The bungalows are electric-lighted and with bells at the side of each bed con- nected with the main office. The rec | reation rooms occupy one whole build l ing, where concerts are given and mo- i tion pictures presented. Here also are ! church services held on Sundays. The ] library in the recreation building con ! tains about 1000 of the best volumes | obtainable.
 In 1911 there was a pathological and ! meteorological laboratory established 1 at the home. This proved to be of in- estimable value. not only to St. Luke's | but to the entire community.
