PRINT PAPER PRICES SOARING
SKYWARD
Weekly Newspapers Threatened With
Destruction If Kelief Does Not
Come Soon.

According to the Publishers Auxil-
iary the price of paper is soaring
skyward, with the limit nowhere in
sight, and every newspaper publisher
forced by circumstances to bid for
every pound of print paper that can
be secured.
Thirteen cents pound +. o. b. mill
was asked in New York last week.
There is undoubtedly a shortage in
production in proportion to the de-
mand, but it is charged that the
manufacturers have taken advantage
of the situation to boost the prices
just as high as the publishers will
pay, and regardless of what price is
necessary to provide for reasonable
or even liberal profit.
In 1914 and 1915 the daily papers
of New York and Chicago were buy
ing print at two cents or less de-
livered to their press rooms. Dur
ing 1915 the price began to jump
rapidly, and for 1916 many of the pa
pers had to contract at prices vary
ing from three to three and one-half
f. O. b. mill. To some Of the New
York papers this advance in price
meant an increase cost per year of
one to two million dollars, and fore
ed an increase in the subscription
price.
At this time three to three and
one-half cent paper would be ex-
tremely welcome. In place Of that
the papers are just now confronted,
so the report says, with from nine to
twelve cent paper, and quotations as
high as thirteen and a quarter cents
have been heard.
1t is easy to see what this means
to the press of the nation. Sub
scription or advertising rates can
hardly go high enough to cover such
a price for raw material, and it
would seem that the print paper
manufacturers are killing the goose
that has been laying their golden
eggs.
Small daily and weekly newspapers
are threatened with destruction of
inability to obtain print paper.

ster Deposit and Trust Company, he
was chosen as its president. He is
still the, president of both of these
institutions, and not only takes deep
interest but actively participates in
the management of their affairs
An ardent churchman and devout
Christian, of him it may be truly said
that he is a pillar" of the Bethel
Methodist Episcopal church of Sans
Creek. The owner Of the farm, on
which stood the old Strawbridge
Methodist Episcopal church, some
years ago he and his wife, who enter
ed into rest in 1910, conveyed the site
of the old meeting house and as much
land as was desired to the Ameri-
can Methodist Historical Society, Of
which DR.. John F. Goucher is the
president, and was influential in aid
ing the erection of monument to
mark the historic spot.
All who know him honor him for
his clearness of opinion and f1rmness
of attitude, and for that wealth Of
tenderness, which is real strength
and that strength which is real tend
erness. Those who know him best
: -...,,c, Gnd speak Of him
with affection as "Uncle David"
All who read these words will join
in the hope that he may abide in
health and strength for many more
years, and that when his star shall
set it will only be to be eclipsed by
the glory of the greater light

PARENT-TEACHER HOLD
SESSION
PROF. DAVIS SPOKE on CONDITION Of
SCHOOL PREMISES MISS JEWELL
SIMPSON EXPLAINED HER DUTIES.

A meeting of the Parent-Teacher
Association of Westminster was held
in the High School building on jan
Diary 20.
The meeting was called to order
at s p. m. by the president, Mrs. J.
Pearre Wantz, and was opened with
prayer by the Rev. Arthur C. Day.
The minutes of the last meeting and
reports of the several committees
were read and approved. The treas
urer's report showed a balance of
$362.12 in hand.
At this point of the program the
association was favored with a vocal
solo by Miss Harris, of Western Mary
land College, which was highly ap-
preciated by all present.
Miss Jewell Simpson then gave a
talk in which she fully explained the
duties and purposes of her position.
She also explained her plans for
| carrying on her work in a manner to
secure the highest degree of effic
iency. This branch of school work is
not well understood by many people.
For this reason it is to be regretted
that more were not present to hear
it explained. Miss Simpson is re-
garded as one of the best in her line
of work, and the people of Carroll
county should consider themselves
fortunate in having one so we'll quail
flied for this important position.
Prof. w. H. Davis spoke of the
crowded condition on the high school
premises and suggested that some
action be taken to relieve these con-
ditions.
A discussion of the situation fol-
lowed, resulting in the appointment of
a committee to appeal before the
Board of Education at its next meet
ing. The committee was instructed
to request the Board to have bill
drafted providing for bond issue of
sufficient amount to meet the present
needs in Westminster as well as in
other sections of the county. Upon mo-
tion the meeting adjourned.

10th. The purpose of the meeting is
to get together to discuss organiza-

and different forms Of mildew and rot.
Mr.. Shaw, specialist in Horticul-
ture, of the Extension Service of
Maryland State College, will be pres
ent to discuss the above questions
which are SO important at this time
The financial success of most of the
orchards of Carroll county this year
will depend upon the proper time to
spray, different kind of sprays used
and methods of applying it.
This will be a round-table discus
sion and we hope everyone interested
in orchard work will be present.

A snow storm with a blizzard pro-

pectedly Wednesday and is still in
progress. As it is, our county roads
are drifted shut and our rural folks
are hemmed in and cannot get to town
until the roads are opened. Rural
carriers were several hours behind
schedule. A few carriers returned
without making through call. The
