TO MEET THE SITUATION.

According to the Editor Sc Pub
Usher, ono of the leading newspaper
trade Journals. news print shortage
and the increasing cost of production
caused consolidation of interests by
daily newspapers in four prominent
cities OF the country within the past
week. The papers involved are the
New York Staats-Zeitung and the Her
old: the ithaca IN. W Journal and
News: the Plqua (Ohioi Call, Press
and Dispatch, and the White Plains
IN. ~ Reporter. Argus and Daily
Record.
I'm addition, reports were received
by Editor & Publisher from many
cities indicating that newspapers are
FALLING In line with the news print con-
servation recommendations of the
American Newspaper Publishers AS
sociation and the Southern Newspaper
Publishers' Association in the way OF
reducing consumption and raising ad-
vertising rates and subscription
prices"
At a meeting OF the publishers OF
the leading newspapers in New Jersey
held at Newark Tuesday the serious
condition confronting the publishers
was discussed. A resolution was
adopted to return to the war basis
when space was cut fifteen per cent
1t was also the general opinion among
the publishers that sooner or later the
retail price of the papers would have
to be advanced to three cents q copy.
AS the time for the publishers to
renew contracts for print paper APP
proaches, the seriousness of the situa-
ton becomes more apparent. Over
three hundred newspapers throughout
the United States went out of business
last year. The outlook for the coming
year is even more ominous. In small
or cities where there are more than
one newspaper there is consolidation
of the papers, leaving only one news
paper In the field; where consolida-
ton cannot be brought about the
weaker publication is being compelled
TO suspend. The worst of 1t Is. there
seems to be no relief in sight.

Astrologers read tn s as a doubtful
day. Uranus and Mercury are in EVIL
aspect, while Venus is friendly.
Uranus is in a place h a is read as
foreeasting progress through 1cono-
elastic
There is a forecast of reforms in
which the press renders important
aid, but they will not be brought
about until much trouble a been
overcome.
The destructive power of the planet
will be strong In all lines of business
fear causing ruin to he tImld n
precipitating financial difficulties.
Bad news will be published in h
last days of the worlds most eventual
year. History will write on it's blood
stained pages hal record brilliant
deeds, shameful facts hat concern
the poor and the oppressed.
The seers declare that the stars give
warning of a crisis that may be de-
1ayed, but cannot be averted except
through the exercise of the golden
rule. Again attention is called to the
ena seen for April or May.
Venus presages success for social
affairs of all sorts and seems to fore
cast a continuation of e~xtravagant
hospitality. This is one of the signs
of gravest portent.
Turkey, Sw .tzer:and and BEazil are
now subject to the most menacing
sway of the stars.
Jupiter transiting Leo seems to in
dictate hat rulers VIII emerge from
the most serious anxieties and re-
sponsibilities. This means that the
President of the United States will in
a measure partake of promised ben
eflts.
Children born at this time probably
will be unusually beautiful and gift
ed, astrologers assert. for they will
profit by the best results produced
by war and will benefit from the psy-
chic conditions brought about by the
world battles.
Persons whose birthdate it is may
have ups and downs in the coming
year. They should guard against
losses. Changes will not be lucky.
Children BORN on this day will be
affectionate but they may be restless
and difficult to guide Jupiter Is their
principal ruling planet.

ENTHUSIASM
SHOULD STICK
Evangelist at trinity Methodist Church
Is Interesting His Audiences
With Good
Sermons.

In accordance with previous an
kouncements, an enthusiastic SONG
service preceded the sermon at the
Trinity revival meeting last night.
n evangelist says he believes in
q gospel of love preached in the spirit
OF tenderness without any harsh &C.
cusations or unkindly criticism. Even
when he preached on the Judgment
CT Sunday night there we're no APP
peals from the standpoint of fear and
fearful denunciations, but an earnest
appeal and pleading for preparation
FOR that event with a portrayal of the
Joys that come as a present result as
well as the glorious rewards of the
future.
The preacher said last evening that
the early order of work in the church
was evangelism, organization and edu.
cation, but in these later years we
have largely reversed the order and
have emphasized the ecclesiastical, the
material and social work of the church
to the neglect and detriment of the
spiritual: that in our loyal devotion
to the church of Jul choice We may
forget the great business of the
church, to be the agency of God in
soul saving. He took the position
that no man has a right to be called
Il christian unless he has come into
the light and life of Christ.
He predicted that we are in the
dawn Of a better spiritual day in our
churches and church life, and said
that we need the garment of enthus-
iasm. So many are in a nut, and a
rut of religious life is always fatal to
enthusiasm. We cannot be our best
for God till we have this garment of
enthusiasm.
We put enthusiasm into the sale Of
tags on tag sale day, approach any
enc, everyone and solicit their patron
age, we are enthusiastic in Red Cross
work, in politics and other interests
why not in church work? We need the
beautiful garment of self sacrifice, self
| sacrifice for the good Of others, self
sacrifice of personal rights and we
cannot be strong for God till we put
en- this garment. Many want to be
! christians to become members of the
church provided 1t does not interfere
with their life of ~pleasurable enjoy
plent, but the greatest thrill of enjoy
trent that can come into any life Is
! the thrill Of Joy that when one
las led a soul to Christ.
He spoke of the shortage Of preach
ers and Christian workers in the var
ious churches and said many fathers
and mothers are disappointed in their
ambition for their children's lives and
are largely to blame for the failure
because they failed to teach their
children to listen for and heed the
voice of God as 1t calls to them to
LIES work.

Find That Exclusive Use of EnaIish
Language Increases Attendance
and Interest in Its
Services.
WAS DONE VOLUNTARILY
Conference with Other Churches Dis
covers the Same Experience,
Even in Communities
Chiefly Swedish.

When the governor issued the
foreign language proclamation for
bidding the use of any but the Eng
lish language in any public gather
ing he unconsciously did for some
foreign language churches what they
had been trying to do for them
selves with but little success. The
experience of the Swedish Lutheran
church of this city was rather a sur
prise to it's members; and it is said
to be typical of the experience of
many other churches.
Instead of causing a decrease in
tn attendance it has had the oppo-
was complied with, interest and at
tendance has increased and the
Swedish Lutheran church has de-
cided to continue the use Of the Eng
lish language permanently with the
exception of two services each month
for the benefit of some of the older
people who do not speak English.
when | was at our, last confer
ence," said a representative of the
local church, 81 found that other
churches had come to the same con
~clusion as we have, hat the use of
the English language brought the
young people into the church and If
we are to hold them we must con-
tinue it.
Even in Swedish Communities.
"At first we thought that some of
the older members would not favor
such action, but when 1t was brought
up for consideration there was not
one who did not favor it.
Even in communities where most
of the people spoke the Swedish Ian
gauge. they found that the young
people were getting away from us
and going to other churches, or not
going at all. And when they started
services in English they began to
come back. This was especially
shown in the Sunday schools.
1T was not a surprise to me and
a good many others of the church,
for we could see where we were los
ing ground, but we did think that it
would be hard to convince the older
members.
we did not wait for the procla-
nation, to make the change, but did
so voluntarily. Now wen those
churches that complied with it rather
unwillingly are now going to con-
tinue in English"
Germans Discover It~Aiso.
"They had driven away most of the
young people by having services in
the Swedish language exclusively,
for the younger people could not
understand the language" said a
Keokuk man when he was told Of
the change of the Swedish Lutheran
church.
The fact that this man was born
in Germany caused a little looking
into the effect of that other language
on church attendance. This investi-
CATION shows hat the German Ian
guage churches have come to the
same conclusion in some cases and
some of them are now enthusiastical-
ly for English services permanently
as the regular routine.
