THE PAPER SITUATION.


Mr.. Albrt Anderson, publisher of
the Southern Sentinel at Ripley,
Miss, has the following to say with
reference to the paper situation:
Newspaper publishers have very
little to encourage them so far in
the price of news print. Other things
seem to be coming down but put pa
per holds its own all right. News print
for country Offices could be bought
before the war prices went on at
$3.50 per hundred pounds. 1t went
up to $1,000 and while it came down
a little few weeks ago it is selling
now at more than five times as much
as it cost before the war. We were
absolutely forced to rase the subscrip-
ton price of the Sentinel last May to
$1.50 year or go out of business.
"That was an increase of only fifty
per cent in the scription price, while
the price of the paper used had in
creased more than five hundred per
cent.
sob stock went up almost as much.
'In this Office we use good deal of
a certain high class bond paper that
cost us, before the war, 18c pound,
The same paper now cost US 60 cents
a pound and the freight rate is doub-
led. All other kinds of paper have
gone >up in about this same proper
ton and have not come down any
yet. Not only paper but everything
else that goes into the making of a
newspaper went up that same way
and none of it has come down. No
other line of business has been as
hard hit by the high prices as the
printing and publishing business"
The Eagle found it necessary to
raise the price year ago to $500
per year. We find it hard to make
a profit on our subscriptions, even
at $500 per year. We fail to see
how Brother Anderson can get the
cost of his white paper in selling it
at $3.50 per year.
But now that cotton has dropped
to such low point we look for paper
to come down within the next few
weeks.

NEED OF THE HOUR.

If you are inclined to be pessimis-
tic as to the future, forget it. The
country is in need Of something bet
ter than pessimism at this time-and
Oxford and Lafayette county is a
part of this country.
This is a period of readjustment
and reconstruction, and no country
can survive such a time without Sc
rious disagreements, dissention and
confusion.
We are undergoing our share of ii
now, and there will be more to follow
before we can hope to become our nor
NAL selves again.
We of Oxford are but an atom as
compared to the whole country, but
the welfare of the nation is as sacred
to us as it is to the residents of the
great metropolis in the land.
We should each strive to do oul
utmost toward stableizing conditions
and restoring commerce to level
where it can be maintained with
justice and safety.
Produce-economize-save.
Those are the three paramount re-
ouirements of the day. They reprcs-
ent the only manner in which it is
possible to continue prosperity with
out first undergoing disastrous
period of financial and commercial
depression.
1t is apparent that with few eN-
ceptions the country as a whole I'M
derstands and appreciates the sltua-
ton fairly well, and is disposed to
take such action as necessity re
Quires.
Let it be said that we of this COM
munity are among those who are
periodically endeavoring to bring
order out of corfuson-that we have
a clear perception of the duty of the
hour and a determination to perform
that duty.
1t is not necessary that we become
niggardly in our expenditures, OF
that we deprive ourselves of any of
the necessities or reasonable luXuries
of life. The situation does not call
for such an extreme.
But produce-economize-save.
That means not only the return to
sane commercial standard in the
immediate future, but a fair Crater
and better country in the years to
come.

JUST A SUGGESTION.

Theti is oportune for discussing
the approaching activities of the
holiday season.
Every freside will have its own
hours of JOY and thanksgiving for the
blessings that have been showered
upon us by the ruler of the universe.
They are sacred to the home and
may not be intruded upon by edit
erial suggestion.
Our churches will hold their SER
vices, at which time the ministers
will tell US of the wonderful deeds
of the only perfect man. This is IN
accordance with custom which time
never obliterates.
But isn't there one other action
still to be taken during the days OF
the holiday week?
Would't it be an act of brotherly
and sisterly love to call a monster
public meeting for some evening
following Christmas, to which every
person, of every creed, IS urge ty
invited, and there spend few hours
in that spirit of fellowship of which
Christ was the chief disciple?
If it served to put the joy of life
into but one single heart it would
be blessed in the sight of the C~ea-
tor who permits us to g'orify our
selves by honorino the birth OF His
enlv begotten son.
What say you, citizens of good
cheer?

SQUARING THE DEAL.

Most people are at heart advocates
of the square deal. 1t is natural
trait of the American people, and the
residents of Oxford are not back
ward in this respect.
Shall we incorporate the spirit OF
the square deal into our Christmas
spirit this year?
Shall we go even further and make
it a square deal for ourselves, and
for the community that shelters and
feeds us?
Our people for a number of years
have enjoyed a large measure OF
material prosperity. This fact is
reflected in the community life, in
the clothes we wear, in the food we
eat, and in every act of our daily
existence.
1t will be reflected in the purchases
we make for the holiday season
which will be upon liberal scale
though possibly not extravagant.
1t is not within the province of the
editor to tell our people where te
spend their money. 1t is theirs, to
spend where and as they think best
But spirit of fairness impells us
to say a word in behalf of our local
observation-disclosures dealers who have
stood Loyalty by the community In
adversely as we'll as in prosperity.
They have purchased heavily In
the wholesale markets in order to be
able to supply the holiday wants
of our people. We are assured that
they have priced their holiday offer
ings down as low as it is possible fol-
them to be sold. They have done
their utmost in order to meet the re-
uuirements of the public.
We feel that our people are emil
nently fair minded-that they Will
extend the square deal to the home
merchant at Christmas time, as they
do at other seasons of the year-that
they will first examine the stocks
of the local merchants before MAX
ing their Christmas purchases-and
all things being equal, that they will
give the local man the benefit of
their trade wherever possible with
cut prejudice to themselves.
Christmas is a time of good cheer,
and the square deal increases it an
hundred fold.
