PUBLISHERS HARD
HIT BY HIGH PRICES
KENDRICK GAZETTE RAISES
ADVERTISING RATES-OTHER
PAPERS TELL OF II

Beginning August 1, the Gazette
will be forced to raise advertising
rates. A slight raise was made
some time ago, but it was entirely
inadequate to cover the constantly
increasing overhead expense in the
office. Practically every shipment
of paper that has been received at
this office during the past folr years
has been at higher price than the
previous shipment. 1t is true that
the increases have been small each
time, but covering a period of four
years the aggregate has brought the
price up to an alarming extent.
Newspaper all over the country
have been very slow in raising rates
entirely too slow, as it has proved
disastrous to many of them.
A newspaper plant, like any other
business enterprise, has to keep its
overhead expenses down in proper
ton to its gross income. If the
overhead expense is doubled and the
gross receipts remain stationary, it is
not very difficult to see that some
thing unpleasant will eventually hap
Zen to the management if the bust
ness is conducted along these lines
Nearly all of the papers over the
country have met the increased cost
of production by raising rates long
ago. Their patrons have evidently
looked at the mater in a reasonable
manner, as no reduction Of adver-
Using space has been noticeable in
any of these papers

The paper on which the Gazette is
printed has advanced over 400 pei
cent since the present editor bought
the plant, and it IS predicted that be
peak of high prices has not yet been
reached as 4 subs, artial increase is
expected to take place lcfcre the
first of the year.
Everything else that enters into
the expense of Publishing a news
: aper, has increased greatly i'll price
Sd that the only way to meet lie
situation is TO increase rates to
cover the larger cost Of publication,

Few comvdit;as have gene skv-
r, exciting III pre- 10 the cNtert that
n mt paper his shot upward in re-
, IT years. Before the War IN the In
~rer coTsj4sv made a
price of less than cents pound at
the mill Publishers so fortunate as
to have supply contract with the
company must now pay 5 "a cents
for paper in large lots, and it is ex-
pected that the contract price in Oc-
tober l will be over 6 cents, an ad
vance of more than 200 per cent.
But these prices only apply to COM
tract deliveries. The spot quotation
Today is IL cents pound, and adj
vance of 500 per cent. That is the
price publishers must pay who have
40 contract or whose contract is not
sufficient to cover their needs.
The result is that newspapers are
either to go out of business
or advance their advertising rates.
Furthermore, millions of dollars
worth of proffered advertising has
,een refused by newspapers because
hey could not get the paper to print.

One OF the great agricultural indus
tries of Louisian and The South is the
growing of sweet potatoes. This pro.
Duet has been little appreciated
t.iroughout +he country. Still the
sweet potato possesses more relative
iced value than his brother of Irish
origin. The sweet potato can be used
il more palatable ways. Its culinary
resources are practically unlimited. II
is gratifying to OBJ serve that the grow
ers of Louisiana are getting together
TO put their industry on the map.
There is national and international
markete for the sweet potato. More
economical method, in production and
marketing of the product can b..
achieved through concentration OF
effort. The creation of an exchange
TO stimulate the interest in the grow.
ing Of the product and make the in
dustry more profitable to the grower
should have the public encouragement.
1t is one of those movements through
which the entire state and its people
will be benefited.-Shreveport Times.
