1NdylOI a
Boy Shot Near McDOnOugh
Townsend, Nov. 29.-While cunning
on his farm near McDonough Tuesday
afternoon of last week, Lester NJ. Nay
lor, farmer of that place, accidental
ly shot himself in the foot and ampu-
tation was necessary. Mr.. Naylor had
spent the morning cunning about tie
farm in company with Frank Carpen-
ter, a brother-in-law. When about
two miles from his home, he was
standing ready to shoot a rabbit his
dogs were running and had both bar
rels of his gun cooked. AS he went to
cnange his position to get better
shot, he tripped over some green
briers. AS he fell he threw his gun
away from him. The triggers caught
against something and both barrels
went off, entering his foot and cutting
it almost off. With unusual gameness
he cut his boot from his foot, while
his companion went for aid, and suf-
fered greatly fro mloss of blood. He
dragged himself across a long field
and almost to the road adjoining. He
was removed to his home in an auto
mobile and DR.. Richard R. Spahr was
summoned and he gave first aid, and
later removed Naylor to the Delaware
Hospital, where the surgeons founC
that the foot would have to be ampu.
tated. This was done and due to loss
of blood and septicaemia, he died dice
Sunday. Funeral took place this af
ternoon. Deceased was a son of Viii
liam Naylor, of Townsend.

vertising rates would have increased
in, corresponding ratio. Publishers are
one of few exceptions among manu-
facturers who have not added the in
creased cost to the finished product.
They have preferred to absorb most Of
the extra expense rather than cut down
their list of subscribers, which would
surely have taken place had subscrip.
ton rates been increased to take care
of advanced manufacturing costs.
Although the subscriber has been
saved money, it is causing great many
additions to the newspaper graveyard
and making it most difficult for those
papers which remain to continue to put
out issues which are credit to their
past record. On top Of all the burdens
growing out Of the war, the publisher
now suffers the poorest service in de-
livery of papers TO subscribers knOwc in
twenty years. This is due to reduced
railroad train service and to the shOr.
age of help in the post Office depart
ment The subscriber, not knowing
this, blames the publisher when his pa
|per is, a day or more late I'm arriving.
Many times this latter trouble might
be remedied if the reader would always
write his publisher, who in turn would
take it up with the post Office depart
ment."

The Publishers Burdens.

'.Readers of newspapers cannot fail
to be struck with the large number OF
daily papers that have been forced to
close up shop and quit observes the
Chicago Drovers' Journal. Nearly
every day we read of the sale of sub
scribers' lists by publishers and the
combining Of two and, in few cases,
three papers in the same city! In view
of these facts, subscribers of daily pa
pers may be very thankful that they
have not had to pay a large advance
in subscription rates.
Few readers can appreciate the diff
culties under which publishers have
had to operate the past few years and
the discouraging obstacles constantly
encountered today. The increase in the
cost of doing business has been enor-
NOUS. Take the one item of white print
paper alone. From a price OF around
. cents per pound before the war, it has
jumped to s and 81, cents in the open
market for car load lots in Chicago
and is very hard to get at that. Wages.
and practically every item entering in
to the making of newspaper. hayc
increased enormously. These facts eX-
plain why PAPERS are going out of bust
ness and combining.
''If publishers had passed on the in
creased cost to their readers, they
would now be paying $1,000 or more
a year for their daily newspaper. Adj

Bui Abdullah, the Mad Mullah" Of
S0lnaliland, against whom British and
Italian forces have been successful
with tanks and aircraft, but who, him
self escaped, has caused trouble for
the British for many years.
He began stirring up the natives of
SOinaliland in 1885, after making pill
grimage to Mecca, and his holy wars"
sometimes have attained considerable
success. In 1890 dispatches said he
was leading an. uprising in the interior
Of SOmaliland, and it was suggested
that "a military promenade be taken
against him. That promenade grew
into a desultory campaign which took
three years and cost the British gov
( ernment S15OOO,OOO. Even then his
power was only temporarily broken by
the battle Of Jidballi, for he fed with
the remnant Of his forces to Italian
territory, destroying wells as he went
and thus making pursuit impossible.
Z Large Army.
While he, was only one of the lesser
religious chiefs of his country, his
pilgrimage to Mecca and his zeal in
preaching the Moslem faith augmented
his influence until he had collected
large: army, lin which were some of the
best fighting tribes in that part Of At
RIGA.
He preached war for the protection
Of Islam and advocated the extermina
tiOn Of whites, and with the increase
Of his power began a crusade, allied by
tlervishes, which finally extended over
the whole Of Sofnaliland.
As the result Of an agreement reach
ed iii December, 1905, between Great
Rritain and Italy to offer the Mullah
an assignment rof a settled sphere in
S6maliland. together with grazers'
rights III certain parts ,of British and
Italian terrItory, he undertook to OBJ.
serve peace toward britain and Italy.
Next ID lo1o.
His. next outbreak Of consequence
was in 1910. when he started Zero
ciOus campaign against the sultanates
under british protection. and slaugh-
tered hundreds of tribesmen friendly
to the British. Wide areas were laid
waste and towns RACED. The natural
obstacles OF the torrid desert country,
combined with the Mullah's fanaticlsn,.
won ont and the British decided to
evacuate the country for the time he

scattered by, British forces.
