GRAVE SITUATION
x in PAPER CRISIS
White Paper Famine Causes Much
Anxiety Among Publishers
of Country.

Grave anxiety exists among the
newspaper publishrs of the country
as they are faced with a situation as
menacing to them as the coal strike
is to the public at large. A white
paper famine of such import that it
is said that absolute suspension may
become necessary in some instances
has overtaken the newspapermen of
the United States.
The great dailies in all Of the Cit
les are already taking steps to ward
off absolute suspension by condens-
ing news stories, and in many in
stances calling on their advertisers
to aid them in saving. An under
standing Of the true situation which
faces publishers both great and small
may be had from the following arti-
Gle from the Oensboro Messenger. 1t
says in part:
The newspapers of this country
have been giving the public a great
deal of information about the sugar
shortage and shortages in many 9TH
er supplies, but have been saying
nothing Of their own troubles. TX
A great anxiety exists, however,
among publishers, great and small,
about the famine in news print, and
the rapidly mounting price of this
Fcemmodity, Now the International
Paper Co., which supplies more than
65 percent of all news print used in
the United States, has notified a large
number of it's customers that it can
not supply them any news print
whatever in 1920. Among the pa
pers so notified are the Evansville
hCourier, Nashville Banner, Little
Rock Democrat, Birmingham News
and many others, throughout the
South, The publisher of the Messen-
ger attended a meeting in Nashville
this week Of 18 publishers, more than
half of whom had been notified that
they could get no paper next year
from the International, which has
been supplying them for years, These
publishers have been vainly looking
for two weeks for other mills to take
their contracts for 1920 tonnage
They meet no encouragement. They
can only buy on the spot market in
New York at $3.50 to 1915 per one
hundred pounds and only in limited
quantities. The price the past year
has been S3.75 (. o. b. the mills, loo
percent more than before the war
No publisher in the United States
can now find paper at that price. Ev-
cry mill in the country save the one
we have heard of, is withholding any
quotations for 1920, and that mil
| has sold all it's tonnage.
The great Chicago Tribune yester.
] day announced that because of the
paper famine-and the Tribun owns
paper mill in Canada, taking its en-.
tire product and buying more on the
open market-it would be compelled
to limit the size Of its editions anC
called upon its advertisers to u.s.
smaller space.

MAYFIELD HIGH K
DEFEATS GROVE
Kentuckians Take Saturdays Game
By Score OF Thirteen
To Six.

The over-confident Mayfield foot
ball team accompanied by their coach
and press agent invaded Barton field
last Saturday and after hard strug-
gle won the decision over Grove by
the close score of 13 to 6.
On comparative scores Mayfeld
was due to win by much larger
score but their overcontidence and
Groves improved play came near
costing the so-called champions of
Kentucky, the game, and they were
lucky to win.
The game was played on wet
field and was married by frequent
fumbles. Only few spectators bra
we'd the elements and witnessed the
game.
Mayfield won the toss and chose
to defend the west goal. Grove held
for downs, forcing Mayield to kick
out Grove fumbled the ball on her
own thirty yard line and Mayfeld by
series of short end runs put the
ball over for the first touchdown and
kicked goal.- After this during the
first quarter Grove kept the. ball out
of dangerous territory and made sew
eral short gains. During the second
quarter Mayfeld again got within
striking distance of the goal, but
Grove held.
At the beginning of the second
half Grove received, and Dunlap car
rying the ball, made thirty yard
run around right end. The ball was
fumbled however, on Mayfield's thir-
ty yard line and this perhaps kept
Grove from ,tieing the score. May
! field, aided by forward pass, and
end runs, made her second touch
down, but failed to kick goal.
By this time Grove began to show
flashes of real football playing and
time after time tore through the
line throwing Mayfeld back for los
ses.
During the third quarter, Core,
playing left guard for Grove, throw
ing his opponent aside, tore through
the line, picked up a fumbled ball
and carried it to Mayfeld's FIVE yard
line before he was stopped. Odom's
signal was then called and although
he was suffering from an injured
hand and wren he'd knee, he hit the
line over Swinney and Littleton for
the five yards required for the touch
down. Mayfeld's coach, who was
umpiring he game, however, called
Grove off side and the erferee at the
same time called a penalty on May
field. The ball was carried back and
Dinwiddie's signal was called. He
responded by rlrnging the line for
FIVE yards with some distance to
spare. Grove failed to kick goal and
the game was called on account of
rain and darkness The final score
being Mayfeld 10, Grove 6.
Mayfeld has fast team with
good backfeld, but their line was outl
classed by Grove. When making
gains themselves they played good
football but when the home team be-
gan to outplay them they OCCASION
ally resorted to holding and kicking.
The GROVE team, although composed
of inexperienced players, is rapidly
rounding into team that can give a
good account Of itself against other
high school teams. What it needs
is hard work, little more confidence
and better support,

Victory Loan Dates
For April 21-May 10

WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Vic
tory Liberty Loan campaign will open
Monday, April 81, and close three
weeks later-Saturday, May 10.
Secretary Glass announced the dates
last night, together with the fact that
short term notes maturing in not over
five years would be issued instead of
longer term bonds. The amount of
notes to be offered was not disclosed
but it has been generally understood
that the loan would be for minimum
of $4,000, 100000 with the treasury re-
serving the right to accept all over
subscriptions.
Mr.. Glass said the interest rate and
the amounts to be exempted from tax
alton would not be determined until a
week or two before the campaign as
they would be based upon financial
conditions at that time. 1t was esti-
mated, however, that the notes might
bear interest in excess of 4 IA per
cent. the interest rate on the third
and fourth loans.

Daily Health Talks
URIC ACIr lM THE sYSTEM
BY LEE H. SMITH, NJ. D.

Uric acid is now generally recognized
as the cause of more diseases than was
heretofore believed. When the kidneys
are out of order uric acid accumulates
within the body in super abundance
The disordered kidneys do not filter
the poisons out of the blood, as thew
ought to do, and so the poisons remain
IN the blood and float around until
they find a place to lodge, in form of
urate salts. The thing to remember is
that you may have rheumatism in any
part OF the body-you may have pains
anywhere y your back may acl1e9and
your head may be dizzy blu the
trouble is not where the pain appears.
The trouble is in the kidneys, and
what is the first thing to do? You must
get that excess uric acid out of your
system, which can be done by taking
Anuric Tablets, the splendid remedy
which DR.. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y,
has put on sale in the drug stores at
a low price. Anuric Tablets (made
double strength), when taken into the
system as medicine, have the peculiar
power of dissolving the uric acid de-
posted there. Drop a bit of sugar or
salt into hot water, and it will dis
appear. In precisely the same way do
ihese Anuric Tablets dissolve uric acid.
Of course, after Kidding the system of
uric acid, it may return again unless
you eat the right foods and live tho
right kind of life, but DR.. Pierce viii
advise you fully on proper food and
correct living if you write and ask
aim. He makes no charge for such
advice. Take Anuric Tablets TODAY,
by all means, and get that uric acid
out OF your system. Don't, don't.
don't, put the matter Off.

me.
Again l asked myself, "Why?"
1t seemed at this time that my life
was made up of Interrogation points.
l was continually asking the why of
things but never getting an answer.
Neil came home about o'clock
something so unusual for him, that l
feared he was ill., His face had gone
gray and haggard since the night be-
fore. When l commenced to fuss over
him, he waved me aside, and said
hoarsely:
For heavens sake, Bah, don't do
that! l came home because l needed
rest. If you are going to rag me about
anything, I'll go back to the Office
Il did not mean to rag you, dear.
