Press $500 Per Year
After August First

The Press announced to its sub
scribers the first OF June an advance
in the price of its subscription to
take effect on August LIST. Renewals
and new subscriptions will be taken
up to that time at the old rate of $3.50
per year. After that date the rate will
be $500 cash in advance per year.
This raise has become necessary on
account of the continual rises in the
price of print paper. AS an illust"a-
ton it takes S12 today to buy as much
print as $50 would buy in 1916, and
paper houses III hat on July
LIST another raise will go into effect.
The following letter was received
a few weeks ago announcing the sec
ond raise in rates during the last six
months:
Miller Press,
Miller, S. ID.
II has become impossible to longer
maintain our present rates for ready
prints. News print paper has advanc-
ed to unheard of prices, and labor
costs have continued to advance until
1t now is necessary to raise our rates.
The new rates effective June LIST,
1920, do not cover the entire cost;
we will carry as much Of the burden
as possible .
Western Newspaper Union
We will also carry part of the bur-
den as the new rate of $500 does not
cover the cost of the print used in the
So issues sent to you in a year.
BY making this raise in price effec-
tive August LIST, our subscribers still
have a few weeks in which to take
advantage of the $3.50 rate. After
August LIST the rate will be $500 per
year, cash in advance.

HUNDREDS OF
ALEDO PEOPLE
VISIT BOSTON
Roads Blocked With Autos Filled
With Sight.Seers Headed
for Flood District.

Over one thousand automobiles
from Aledo and vicinity were in
New Boston yesterday, filled with
eager sight-seers who desired to
view damage wrought by the food
ed Mississippi river.
1t was estimated that 1000 peo-
pie were in the New Boston bay
district yesterday, watching the an
CRY waters of the flood. Many Of
the motorists found the condition
of Mercer county roads to be much
better than was forecasted. Each
road seemed to possess at least one
mudhole, where a team Of horses
was necessary to get the automo-
bile through.
Aside from various little incl
dents and mishaps most Of the
sight-seers viewed the food and re-
turned home with nothing more
than an interesting story, but there
were few who came back with &C
cidents which may cause them to
be confined for some time. One
automobile, driven by I. W. Han
back, overturned and William Win
ders, veteran of the Civil war, re-
ceived sprained wrist when the
machine in which he was riding,
plowed through deep mud hole,
causing him to be thrown against
the side of the car.
1t was expected by residents of
New Boston that hundreds of sight
seers will visit that district during
the coming week, and preparations
are being made to care for them
in the various restaurants of the
town.

The Day in Davenport

Forger Released. Contrite and
crestfallen, Mrs. Birdie Golderman
ended rather "checkered" career
as a forger in the district court
Saturday morning when she plead
ed guilty to forging two checks,
one for $50 and the other for 1913.
The checks were passed on local
business houses. One check, with
the forged signature Of her former
employer, Rev. Marmaduke Hare.
was cashed at the Tenenbom store.
North Harrison street. The other
check. which bore the signature of
Mrs. Gail Davenport. was cashed
at the Abe Siegel store on West
Second street Mrs. Golderman told
Judge F. D. Let's that she was
hungry and needed clothes. Owing
to illness she had not been able
to work. she told the court. Both
prosecutor. John P. Weir, and the
court were disposed to be lenient,
providing the woman made the
checks good. This she expressed q
willingness to do. She thought her
mother would help her. The court
sentenced her to 30 days in Jail and
suspended the sentence. She was
defended by Attorney B. T. O'Neii.
Steal Clothing. - Clothing bur-
glars ran wild Friday night and
entered two tailor shops on Brady
street, escaping with 20 or more
suits Of clothes and about fifteen
bolts Of woolens as booty. Victims
Of the thieves were the Immoor
tailor shop, 404 Brady street. and
the L. & G. tailor shop, 524 Brady

Der company against Harry Phil
lips, commissioner Of the board of

approving the bonds of the con-
tractor who has the award for an
asphaltic concrete pavement. In
this action the objection is not
against the pavement but against
the proposed material. George W.
Scott, former mayor, is the attor-
ney. The plaintiffs ask that brick
instead Of asphalt be used. The
second action is brought by Charles
F. Rehling, ''for himself and other
taxpayers" against the city Of Day.
