He told of the term agitators and accusations made against the organ izers and he cited publication in one editorial as to what should be done with the organizers. He said that done in 1908 with gunmen and vigilance committee, the challenge was accepted.

All people who read have heard
more or less about the high cost of
paper.
Here are some facts that may inter
est you
A few years ago The Record and
all small papers could buy news print
the paper your newspaper is printed
on-at about , cents pound. little
less or little more according to
quantity used.
During the war this price was
boosted up to and cents. This
was double pre-war prices and cut the
profit out of many newspapers. Dur
ing this raise many papers tried tn
get some OF the cost back by raising
subscription rates. weekiies mostly
went to 50 and some TO $3.50 and SO
per year. Dsilies made more raises.
The Daily Record added 10 cents to
the monthly rate which only partially
covered the extra cost
Last winter printers waSss were
raised by publishers all over the state
and in this county increases OF from
IS per cent TO 35 per cent were put
into effect.
Then for the FIRST time since the
war began new advertising rate card
was made up with a slight advance
in rates Liberal estimates would
hardly show enough increased income
to cover extra expenditures But it
WAS felt that with the strictast econ

Now before the increased cost items
OF last year have been absorbed comes
along another hre-or a calamity as
bad as firs.
