Sentinel Raises
 Its Subscription
 To Four Dollars

Beginning June 1 the subscrip- tion price of the Sentinel will be advanced to S4 year. This ad- vance is imperative on account of the exorbitant price of paper.
 Several other Alaskan news papers advanced their subscrip- tion price months ago, but the Sentinel held back hoping that there would be a change for the better in the paper market. But instead of the situation improving it has gone from bad to worse until now a paper crisis exists throughout the United States, England and France.
 The Sentinel knows of no week ly in Alaska besides the Peters burg Report that is still under taking to publish at three dollars year.
 Five dollars a year is the sub- scription price of the Mccarthy Weekly News, a much smaller paper than the Sentinel, and one which does not set half as much type as the Sentinel. The Me Carthy News sells on the streets for 25 cents.
 Five dollars a year is the sub scription price of the Hyder Weekly Miner. another paper that sets much less type than the Sentinel.
 Ten dollars year was the price of the Weekly Citizen of Fair banks when it burned out re- gently. And even at ten dollars a year the publisher of the Citi- zen did not consider it a business proposition to reestablish his newspaper while there was panic in the paper market. Ac- cordingly, he sold his subscrip- tion list to his competitor.
 Alaskan newspapers are by no means the only ones that have been forced to increase subscrip- tion rates. Before the war the subscription price of the Seattle Daily Times was $5 year. Now the Seattle Times is SIS a year. Throughout the United States most of the metropolitan newspapers have increased their subscription rates from 100 to 400 per cent. If these increases were not justified new papers would spring up with lower sub- scription rates. But they don't. On the contrary the number of newspapers that have been forced to suspend publication during the past three months breaks all records in the history of journalism in the United States.
 Beginning June 1 the Sentinel will charge regular rates for much that has heretofore been published free of charge. This include cards of thanks, and notices of meetings of the vari- ous organizations of the town. Church notices, however, will be published at a reduced rate. We are announcing these changes with the greatest reluctance be- cause we realize that we are not striking at the root of the trou- ble. No one who pays any at tention to the paper market doubts that there is a conspiracy on the part of the paper manu- lecturers to regulate production and prices. But until the gov ernment quits Investigating and really does something publishers generally will be compelled to in- crease their rates or go out of business.
 New subscriptions will be re- ceived and old subscriptions may be renewed at the old price of $3 until June 1.

CHICAGO-Canada is exhibit ing an unneighborly attitude in refusing to ship wood pulp into the United States, it was asserted by Dr. Hugh P. Baker of the American Paper and Pulp associ- ation, in an address before dele gates to the American Lumber congress.
 Much of the session of the con- gress was spent in consideration of the newsprint shortage. Ac- cording to Doctor Bakers statis- tics, newsprint consumption has increased from three pounds per capita in 1880 to 35 pounds in 1920.
 The sentiment among the lum- bermen generally was that the Government should establish a national forestry policy of con- servation and caring for trees furnishing wood pulp.

 ASSOCIATION GIVES
 PARTY TO CHILDREN

y last Friday evening with a party given by the Teachers Association in the Redmen lodge rooms. The Moose lodge had kindly given up a regular meet ing in order that this hall might be used. An invitation had been extended to the public as well as to the school and the affair was attended by about one hundred and fifty guests beside the vari- ous committees.
 The hall was beautifully deco rated in the flower and colors of the 1920 class, the motto occupy ing a prominent place at one end. The electroliers were festooned with flowers. and greenery was banked here and there.
 A program was enjoyed early in the evening. It consisted of a Swedish Folk dance by girls from the intermediate grades, Virginia and Irene Tozler, Etolin Coulter, Margaret Mccormack, Gertrude Carlstrom, Margaret Northrope, Laura Ronning, Gertrude Os- borne, Nettie Prescott, Erma Grant and Dorothy and Marjorie Johnson; vocal solos by Mrs. Maud and Mrs. Johnson with Miss Bronson as accompanist; a recita- ton by Mr. Rowley; an Irish dance by Margaret Mccormack that scored a decided hit; a song by Marjorie Johnson accompanied by her sister, Dorothy, and some very clever recitations by pri- mary pupils, Margaret Ottesen, Carl Palmer, Helen Hodges and Gertrude Goodrich, and by little three year old Beatrice Palmer
 At about ten o'clock ice cream, cake and coffee were served in the dining room which was also prettily decorated. Twisted bands of red and white ran from the center floral decoration on the tables to the corners and lighted candies placed at intervals added a festive touch.
 The committees responsible for the success of the affair were: Refreshments, Mrs. Benjamin, Mrs. Bjorge, Mrs. Myers, Mrs. Carruthers, and Mrs. Palmer; serving, Mrs. Billion, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. J. G. Grant, Mrs. Case, Mrs. West, Mrs. Pritchett and Miss Billion; ice cream, Nus. Carlson; coffee, o. Carlson and M. o. Johnson. Two decorating com mittees had been appointed by Mir. Mitchell, chairman of the so- cial committee of the PIT. A., Mrs. Worden, Mrs. Mccormack and Mrs. West for the down. stairs, and Mrs. Palmer, Mrs. Gartley and Mrs. Gold for the up- stairs and these combined forces for the two occasions, the gradu- ation and the party. Mrs. Mo. Laughlin, Mrs. Bjorge and Mrs. Mccormack had charge of the entertainment features and pro- vided games and other amuse- ments throughout the evening.

,ear to have reached the end Of its

pear to have reached the end Of its
string.
Diaz, on account Of age, had lost
his edge. and was driven OF. Madero.
wholly unqualified to administer the
affairs of so turbulent a people. was
soon bowled over. Huerta, at best a
rough soldier, had no conception OF
civil affairs, and could not last. And
then Carranza, a little Of a soldier
and a little Of statesman, had no
diplomacy but good deal of obsti-
macy in his composition, and, after
several years Of alternate success and
failure, was wiped out.
Now comes Gen. Obregon for trial
His reputation is good. His equip
ment would appear to be ample for
the office to which he has been elected.
He is competent soldier. He has
had experience in civil affairs. He is
well known and much esteemed in
this country. AS the phrase goes, he
is the best bet in Mexico.
1t is easy. then. to wish him we'll.
But if he fails. and turbulence and
handitry are resumed. what then? Or
der in Mexico is very important to US.
We have lost heavily in the country
since the downfall OF Diaz. and shall
continue to lose heavily until friend.

Four Weeks.

The election is four weeks away
The time-every hour Of twill be
filled with activities. Day shifts and
night shifts will be on the job. All
the orators on both sides have their
cues, and are Grating to the full
strength of their lungs and threats
Literature, so-called.s is pouring Out
Of the headquarters Of both sides by
millions Of pieces. 1t is an inspiring
struggle for supremacy, conducted on
American lines.
Gov. Cox has just returned from
his western tour, and expresses him
self as greatly encouraged by the dem
onstrations he witnessed. The crowds
were large and enthusiastic.
Mr.. Harding spent last week or
tour, visiting three states. and re-
turning home delighted with his re-
ception. He. too, addressed large and
enthusiastic crowds. He starts this
week on a westward journey, going as
far as Omaha.
The voters seem alive to the issues.
At any rate, they are eager to hear
them discussed. Speakers of distinc.
ton are listened to with attention, and
appiauded roundly.
1t is the time for claims, and both
sides are doing their duty in that
particular. 1t is the time also for
voters to be weighing those claims,
and let US hope they are doing their
duty.
Today. it is generally conceded. the
republicans appear to have the best
Of the equation. Their organization
is unusually thorough and efficient.
The betting odds are in their favor,
on an average Of four to one, with
democratic money scarce. Estimated
republican majorities in some Of the
states are enormous.
These things probably explain the
reports that the republican managers
are on their toes. When they see good
fortune so pyramided, and realize that
the tall structure must remain under
fire for four weeks, and reflect that
in these nervous and disturbed times
nearly anything may happen. they are
naturally anxious to a degree, and
straining every nerve to keep their
advantages intact.
