Announcement of Increase
of Subscription to THE ARGUS

Since January |, 1919 the cost of print
paper has increased from 1-2 cents per
pound to 9 "a cents per pound and We are
informed that it will rise to even higher
prices rather than decrease in price.
This increase Of almost 100 per cent in
one year while greater than that experience
ed in the past is but the continuation of
what newspapers have been called upon to
bear since 1914 when print paper was pur-
chased at from l-2 to 2 81 cents per pound. The
rise was steady until 1919 when the market rose con
stanty, until the present price Of 81 cents was
reached or an increase Of 400 per cent over the
pre- war price.
The Argus must meet this increased cost. 1t
has but two ways of doing this; increased sub
scriptiOn rates and increased advertising rates.
The latter have been raised to meet some of the
previous rises in cost, and now with hundreds of
other newspapers over the country, we are increas

 Tn 1915 we decided to try an up- to-date experiment in forestry, and invited the State Forester to go over our land and advise us. At his sug- gestion and under his supervision, we had dead trees and blighted chestnuts removed from the larger growth and 10000 seeding pines planted in suit able places, covering about seven acres. These have grown finely, and you will notice them all about you, es- pecially near the entrance In 1916 the State Forestry Board held their annual meeting at the wolf-den, and inspected and approved the experi- ment.
 We do not expect to grow rich over our venture, because on account of the location and character of the place 1t is very expensive Co have se- lected trees which can be spared talk en out, and of course we shall never want the woods cut off entirely.
