Since the first day of last Novem-
ber eight weekly papers of South
Dakota have been compelled to
discontinue publication owing to
the excessive high prices of all
material entering into the print
ing of paper, and several more
papers have announced that 1T
will be necessary for them to fol-
low suit and close their office.
The Press does not wish to join
with these that have found it
necessary TO close, but the publ
shera have came to a realization
that some move is absolutely nee
essary if we are to continue IN
business. While the price of all
commodities have been rising
constantly, and the prices of pap
er and machinery daily advancing,
we have endeavored to weather
through the storm without mere
asing our rates, and hoping that
a break would come in the prices
and lower tide set in. However
in the last few weeks paper has
constantly been rising, and bet
ween the time of receiving a quo
tation, and the ordering Of the
paper the prices moves up several
notches, until now the rate of in
crease in the past six weeks has
been very nearly one bundled
per cent.
After carefully going over the
situation we have found that 10
will be necessary for us to mere
ase the subscription price and adj
vertising rates of the Press If we
are TO continue publication. We
know that for several months
past the publication of the paDeE
has not been a paying proposition
and were it not for the extensive
line of job printing we have been
doing it would have been imposs-
ible for US to continue publicat-
ion of the Press.
We have no apology to offer to

American Legion 37-P. A. 20

The first basket ball game of the season
occurred last Thursday ni9hr, when the
American Legion Jean defeated Peoples
Academy by the score of 81 to 20.
Early in the game the Legion tenn got
a great start, but were unable to keep this
up, and the high school team, by superior
playing gradually overeame this early lead,
and at the end of the first period were
ahead by two points. The Legion team
picked up during the second half, however,
and made the greater part Of their scores
during the last ten minutes.
As in all early games, the teams showed
lack of practice, and lack Of team work.
The P. A. Team, however, shows the effect
of Coach Stafford's work, and showed up
a great defense. They also had nice
formation to work the ball down the floor,
but were weak in shooting baskets. They
should be able to hold their own against
the high schools of the state. Local bas-
ket. ball fans will have an opportunity to
see several fast games the coming season,
as the higu school plays the fastest high
schools in northern Vermont, while tie
Legion will encounter all strong teams in
the state. Next Thursday the Legion
meets the town team.
The lineup for Thursdays game was as

ding is the Mastered mind"

is placed in the list behind that of

observer or student. Only by COM
parative study of social and economic
conditions in the various countries
can approximate idea be gained of

pact of the blow dealt to the whole

can only be appreciated by slow de-
grees and through several years.
