HIGH COST OF PAPER:

We received quotations on paper
today. News print paper is quoted
at 16 lac f. o. b. Nashville.
This is highway robbery. 1t looks
to one up tree as if it is simply
carrying out program to put the
country weekly out of business.
The very idea of our government
allowing its people to be robbed In
such a way is enough to drive the
American people into Mexico or some
other country.
There is no reason for the price OF
news print being so high. But the
robbery is winked at by the authorl-
ties who alone can remedy the situa-
ton.
The Government should at once re-
vert the Muscle Shoals project into
a gigantic paper manufacturing plant
Paper enough to supply the small
publishers of the United States could
be manufactured at this point, and al
nominal cost.
Such a project would perhaps serve
the country better than the manufac-
ture of nitrate. Unless the Govern
ment gives us relief it will mean the
passing of the country weekly. Some
few may survive the high price OF
paper, but it will only be few.
The Eagle asks the cooperation OF
it's readers in it's task of steering the
tide. We must have your help or we
cannot survive.
The Eagle will be found in the
number which die last, but that is but
little consolation. If news print goes
to 20 cents per pound, the Eagle viii
be compelled to charge so cents PEI
inch for advertising and SIS per yea
for subscription. 1t is nearing tina
point, only lacking 8 "a cents.
If our friends will stand by us WI
will pull the old paper through.

prise to all.

that what the economical world of
to-day is demanding is medium of
service which will put men OF all
trades, professions, and businesses
closer together in the business and
social world.
So it is with pleasure, that we an
nounce to our readers, the coming, of
an industrial edition. This edition,
which will be in your hands some

compiled within it's sheets industrial
data and items Of various natures
gathered from our own home County
and from abroad as well. And while
it is our intention to secure for this
great work large scope, covering
much Of the surrounding territory, j
is our purpose primarily to boost the
good old County Of Lafayette and hei
resources. In SO doing we shall en-
deayor to bring into prominence all
Of the progressive farming interests
Of the County, and At the same time

BROOKS FLETCHER AS ONE
MAGAZINE EDITOR SEES HIM

The following analysis and criticism
of Brooks Fletcher appeared as an
editorial in the billboard Magazine
recently written by Fred High, and
may be of interest to some of the
Marion friends Of Mr.. Fletcher who
are interested in his work on the plat
form.
Mr.. High of the Billboard magazine
thinks it would make more useful
man of Brooks Fletcher were he to
serve q term in jail for advocating
his CONVICTIONS.
Tho editorial from the Billboard
magazine is as follows:
When Brooks Fletcher took to talk
ing, about lecturers on the Lyceum-
Chahtauqua Platform is Thomas
Brooks Fletcher, editor of the Tri-
buae ut Marion, Ohio.
When Rrooks Fletcher took to talk
ing the stage lost a real dramatic
actor.
When the lecture Platform took
over Brooks Fletcher to do the dra-
matte lecturing stunt, it robbed the
world Of 9 potential leader.
Old Mother Nature endowed this
man with double nature.
He is as fearless as Red Revolu-
zionist, but he often stampedes at the
thought of his own bravery.
Mr. Fletcher will address the citi-
zens of Oxford on June 5, at the
Chautauaua. Every citizen should
! hear him.

ness man Of cur home County, thus
putting all Of our people closer to-
gether both in social and business
way.
We appreciate the expressions of
good will and cooperation that have
come to us from various hooks and
corners concerning this edition which
we feel will satisfy every expecca-
ton of our friends.

! The Longest Battle
! IN History
AANAAAAAHNN N

The duration OF battles was once
counted in days. Verdun and the
Argonne showed they could last
months but before either of these
had been fought, battle was raging
which had long ago broken their
duration records. 1t is a battle which
spans the world and of which one
OF the most vital sectors lies here in
the United States
This single battle has lasted
longer than any war, save that spor--
adic and guerilla contest known as
1.-THE Hundred Years War" 1t has
been continuous, the longest sus-
tanned effort ever made by the uni
formed soldiers of any single army
in history. 1t is the unremitting, I'M
firing effort waged by the Salvation
Army against the forces of sin and
evil and poverty.
The empire .of> Britain threw men
of many races and colors into the
scales against Germany; France
drew soldiers from the obscure
tribes of Africa; in the American
army itself 56 languages were spok-
en-. But none of these can boast
such a polyglot mingling of tongues
or potpourri of races as those which
have been engaged under the Blood
and Fire banner of the Salvation
Army for 43 years
In America alone the strife has
gone on for two score years, and
the forces waging it have grown
from a little band of nine in 1880 to
the thousands, who, today wear the
uniform of mercy in the United
States.
The work here has been EXTENDED
until it has become one of the most
comprehensive agencies of charity
righteousness and helpfulness in the
country. 1t annually dfspenses aid
and care to the value OF millions
work that is supported from yeai
to year by the American people
who use the Salvation Army as
the steward through which they wish
their bounty administered. The 1921
Home Service Appeal to maintain
this work will be made May 10 to 20
when it is expected the nation viii
pledge the $1O,00000O needed.
