SHORTAGE OF NEWS PRINT PA.

SHORTAGE OF NEWS PRINT PA
PER.
At the meeting Of the American Pub
fishers association in New York this
week, the shortage of news print paper
was the matter uppermost in the minds
of the publishers of newspapers
throughout the country. That there is
a real shortage Of news print paper at
the present is known to every news
paper man who has tried to round up
enough paper to publish paper every
day of the normal number of issues !;
and, Furthermore, there is no prospect
of relief from the serious situation.
Those newspapers which have contracts
with the news print manufacturers are
perhaps more fortunate than those who
have to bid in the open market for
the product and take their chances of
getting enough paper to print on; but
those having contracts are restricted to
the lowest tonnage possible to produce
the newspapers and at a price consid-
erably in advance of previous charges.
A large number Of small papers which
are not strong enough financially to
meet the added cost, and some Of the
larger papers which are having trouble
in weathering the financial storm may
be forced out Of business completely

AS A MAN THINKETH.

Thinking the world is all right will
not mike it all right. but within GER
tain wide limitations thinking the
world cheerful and having a right re-
gard for the good things in it will
make the world cheerful.
If we set our minds on disagreeable
things and search for the unpleasant
instead of for the pleasant We shall
have more than a surfeit of unpleasant
things in life. If we hate, we shall be
hated If we harbor thoughts of re-
venge for real or fancied wrongs. we
shall get far more dissatisfaction than
satisfaction from that frame of mind.
Financial adversely is no sufficient
excuse for the habit of gloom. The
game Of life can be played as pleas
antly with stakes of small coppers as
with large stakes of gold. II this
were not so there would be little good
cheer in the world, for ninety per cent
of the earth's population is in the
small copper class. No man ever yet
found perfect delight in an abundance
of things; but children without care
and adults without property have
found it in the mere thinking.
HE that loveth silver shall not be
satisfied with silver; nor he that
loveth abundance with increase When
goods are increased they are increased
who eat them: and what good is there
to the owners thereof, saving the be-
holding of them with their eyes,"
Good cheer is catching. smile
will run all the way IN the street,
while a crouch is getting its shoes on.
Good cheer is something more than a
set and steady smile. 1t is a success
sion of smiles in the face of adversely,
in the face of things that are unpleas-
ant, that may be unjust.
The converse of good cheer is envy,
hate, grouch-whatever name you can
make fits something that leaves a bad
taste in the mouth. Every effort to
injure another is injury to ourselves.
One of the best gifts mortals can ask
of heaven is a disposition to forgive
the debtor, in whatever sense the term
debtor may be used. Whatever of
good the disposition brings the debtor,
it brings more to the forgiving credi-
tor. The forgiven debtor may go his
way an unappreciative clod. He may
even hate you for the favor you have
extended. James G. Blaine was heard
to remark when he had Just been
most bitterly and unjustly attacked:
81 can't understand the motive; I
don't recall ever having done that
man favor in my life" The good,
as a rule, comes TO the man who has
been big enough to forego revenge, big
enough to decline TO "get even" for
some wrong that has been done him,
for some injustice he has suffered.
To collect hate account is to buy
trouble. A satisfied grudge is the
most unsatisfying thing on earth.

In the Rio Grande valley our lands,
when drained. will produce per acre
from two to five times as much as the
average Iowa acre. The drainage is
estimated at about twenty-five to
thirty-five dollars an acre.
With drainage, a large part of the
Rio Grande valley farms will sell for
very close to a thousand dollars an
acre, very soon, because market for
all that we produce is assured and
crops are always certain. We depend
upon the ditch not upon whether
there is plenty of rain or not during
the growing season.
or course, we shall have drainage.
We may delay. we may talk a while
longer, but we shall have drainage,
because the business sense of the COM
munity demands it and the landowners
of the valley demand it, with very few
exceptions.
Many farms in the valley are now
producing more than a hundred dol
lars an acre net to the men who oper-
ate them, and some of the truck grow
ers take profits of several times that
figure.

OUR VALLEY FARMS.

The price of land has been going
up for long time. There is reason
for this upward trend that now is as
Stunning the proportions of rush
Why is there a demand for farm
lands?
When the declaration of independ-
ence was proclaimed, there were less
than five million people in the United
States, counting whites, negroes and
Indians. 1t is now estimated by Sec
rotary of Commerce Redfield. who
has charge of the census work, that
the coming census will show not far
from 100, 700, 900 people in the United
States, without including Alaska and
our insular possessions.
All of these people must be fed
from the soil. and we must feed many
millions besides. No more land is be-
ing made, but millions of people are
being added to our population annu-
ally. The strain on the land, the de-
mand for it and for its products, grows
year by year.
Also gold is a factor. AS 1t in
creases in quantity, its purchasing
value decreases in proportion. More
gold has been added during the past
twenty years than was in existence
prior to the discovery of the yellow
metal in the Klondike. The United
States now has more than one-third
OF all the gold In the world. but we
! have only one-sixteenth of the worlds
population.
Twenty years ago farm lands in
Iowa. for example, were selling fol
