1 can't gloss over the fact that
Jim was almost brutally indiffer-

The Rhyming
Optimist
By Aline Michaelis.

Nv n. may KICK about our labors,
w we may really want to
shirk, and insist that all
the neighbors ought to help US with
our work. We may grunt and gloom
and grumble just because we are
not rich, and our task may be quite
humble, such. as digging in the
ditch: but, although 1t sounds like
folly, we may search the wide
world o'er and not find a game so
jolly as the good old daily chore.
We may criticise our duties IL a
trNle short of cash; 1t is hard to
find the beauties that belong with
singing hash. 1t Is hard to find
the pleasure cleaning house and
making soup, and life scarcely
seems treasure, nursing chickens
through the roup. But for many
folks it's certain life will always be
this way. and until the final curtain
chores will come with every day.
There is little chance for pining,
little time for feeling sore, and the
suns most always shining II we
have daily chore. There is seldom
cause for crying when we work
with vim and zest and the days go
swiftly flying II we strive to do our
best Like the swallows they go
winging as we haste to milk the
cow. and it's hard to keep from
singing when we give the pig her
chow. lf you want your cares to
tighten, you should rustic more and
more. and the scene will surely
brighten II Won try the daily chore.
1t is better than a tonic and II beats
the rest cure, too; be your case
acute or chronic. IL will make you
feel like new. Though some still
persist in whining and their cruel
lot deplore. you will note the sun

PRINT PAPER GOING HIGHER.

s. S. Carvalho, one of the best
known newspaper men in the United
States, and formerly the GENERAL man
ager of all the Hearst publications
stated in a recent interview that
newspapers, are facing the. greatest
crisis in tie history Of the industry,
He said that 20 per cent caore paper
is being used than is manufactured
that high prices are inevitable, and
that PAPER stocks are already at the
danger line.
Mr.. Carvalho bases the increased
price of paper on the four following
things:
"First--The labor cost per ton on
white paper is now $50 against SO
-four years ago.
"Second-It takes one tor Of coal to
make one ton Of paper ard coal at the
mill had practically doubled in price.
"Third-The haul on pulp wood is
Igrowirg greater each year; likewise
the freight charges.
"Fourth-The six to nire cent mar
kets of Europe, South America and
Australia r now asking for Canada
and United States paper"
Before the war the price of paper
was given little consideration by pub
fishers in figuring publication costs.
Today it is a very important item.
The only way to meet the advance is
for publishers to secur better adver-
Using and subscription rates, the only
sources of revenue.
The high cost of print or newspaper
and the reasons for it rs presented
above will force the Times and many
other weekly papers of the State to
raise their subscription price to 81
per year on January /. The Times
would be compelled to raise row, but
We bought enough news to run US on
until January l, at a price that will
justify Us to maintain the subscrip-
tioH price at SI.0V until l..
The subscription price on weekly pa
pers at 50 is only in accord with the
advance prices of necessities of life.
For instance wher corr was SO arc
IS cents per bushel, molasses 50 cents
per gallon, sweet potatoes soc per
bushel, and all other articles in proper
ton, the subscription price of Weekis
papers was 81 a year. Now corn :
81 per bushel potatoes 81 per bushei.
molasSes 81 to $3.50 per gallon and all
products in line with these prices, il is
consistent that the subscription prices
of weekly papers should be s. per
year.-UnIon Times.
