The increasing prices all materials and paper
going into the publication of The Breckenridge News
has forced to advance the price to $500 per year
effective August g. 1920 81 90 will buy the News for
six months and so cents will buy it for three months
Renewals at the old rate will be accepted if handed
to us or mailed to the office prior to August End.
We formerly paid cents per Id. for paper

per advance in of $50 per cent We are
paying help from 100 to $50 per cent more than
we have ever paid them Within the last three years
we have put in almost entirely new equipment to
make our plant efficient to keep down operat
ing expenses We have advanced advertising
rates 100 per and shall probably have to make
further advances if the present scale of advancing
prices in materials and labor keeps up.
Many weekly papers and not few dailies have
gone by the waysde in the attempt to continue pub
LEGATION under present difficulties. Their failure has
been due to the simple of not taking in more

a helpful we'll pleasant factor in the lives of
our people for the whole period of its A years of

ness from politics, at time when pol
iticians had fallen into disfavor, made
him the available man Tor governor In
1910. AS a candidate for president, he
ran a poor second to Champ Clark In
the popular primaries Of 1912. He wat
nominated at Baltimore only after AZ
ballots. and then only as a result OF
Bryan's overthrow of the steam roller
And he was elected by the division OF
the Republicans between Roosevelt and
Taft, though he received a smaller vote
than the Democrats had polled In
three past elections.
It is the tragedy of Woodrow VII

MED him, that lodestone which draws
the hearts of men. The head has been
the powerhouse of his leadership.

hens il is possible to Gull as many as
fifteen from the flock, and still get
as many eggs from the remaining
thirty-fve as from the entire fifty.
These demonstrations will be held
throughout the county. Any owner of
a pure bred flock who desires Mr..
Smyth to Gull them should get in
