WARNING TO SPACE GRAFTERS

So far as space grating" is con-
eerned THE NEWS is pleased TO an
nounce that its columns are no
longer to he used as dumping
ground for the stuff that is being
sent to all the papers in the coun-
try. Our space is the one thing
we have TO sell, and we can see no
more reason for giving it away than
for the merchant to give away his
foods. In one days mail recently
we received nine letters. mostly
from Government activities, asking
for space that had it been given,
would have amounted at our regu-
tar advertising rates, to about $500.
During the war THE NEWS and
all other patriotic newspapers gave
columns to help the Government
win the war. and none regret it,
But now. the Governments business
rs purely business, and there is nc
reason why it should not pay for Its
advertising If the sale of Thrift
Stamps is a Government business
why not let them pay for the adver,
aising? Every newspaper worth
while heartily supports everything
good for the country, and everyone
with an ounce of brains will decide
for himself how it shall do that.
What THE NEWS believes to be
information for it's readers it will
publish, and Will, editOrially, boost
such things as il believes will hell
,he country. but it draws the line
AZ being made a free dumping
ground for the space grafters.
Regular rates will be demanded fol
all advertising, and, unless the
promise to pay is attached it will gt
to the waste basket. This applies
as well to private concerns as TO tha
Government. Our space is our Mer
ehandise, and we can see no goot
reason why we should be called upoI
to give it away. This is plalnl!
worded warning to the spac4
grafters" and we hope those who
read it will take heed and govern
themselves accordingly.

A FUTURE IN TREES

A generation ago the center %
the great lumber region lay very
near the Atlantic coast, ana tne
broad land was all but covered with
virgin forests. Wood of all KINDS
has been used up so much faster
than it grows that to-day the center
nj our lumber region is rapidly ap'
nroaching the Pacific coast. The
tree is one of the greatest sources
of wealth in the land, and great ef-
forts are being made today before
n Is too late to preserve It. Many
thousands of acres all over the coun-
Try are planted with trees like any
other crop.

Prices Coming Down

The farmer is hit in many
ways. Not only on account of
decline in prices of his products,
but also because of a continua.
tion of too high prices In what
he has to buy. Cattle are down
one. half from year ago; coal
is so per cent higher.
Beef hides are down thirds
from last year, but shoes are off
only one. fourth.
Corn is down one-half but su.
gar is as high as one year ago
and has been three times Ms high
as now during the year, and so
on aud 80 on.

that one or more plants will be
put in operation near Clay City
soon. Here's hoping they sue

the county that has an unlimit-

The right of way for the State
and Federal road through the
county must be 40 feet wide.
Counting it this wide we find one
mile of right-of- way occupies a.

this right-of way as high as for
what they got from Ii. i. Bor
ders last week, it will sure 60
broke in a little while.
The proof in this case while on
trial at Stanton last week, show
ed that the fence had been set in
the road in recent years and that
at least half of what was paid
for was the county's already. So
the county really got but one
fortieth of an acre for which II
must pay $40 or-s5, 600 per acre,
or $4,000 per mile, which con.
sumes approximately ) acres.
There are thirty miles of road
through the county, and If all
should cost so dearly, the total
cost of right. of. way would be
$40, 900. This is more than the
total assessment of all the land
and town lots in Powell county
two years ago.
And yet many of the very men
who make such allowances woD.
