Profiteers Send
Cost Of Paper
Soaring Again

New York, Aug. 10.--A recent SEN
sational advance in the cost Of pulp
wood will necessitate another boost to
the already nearly prohibitive price Of
news print, forcing many newspapers
throughout the country to cease publi-
cation next year, accordfngto an Off
cial statement issued by w. T. Haskell,
fice-president of the International Pa
per company.
"A substantial increase in the price
of newsprint is inevitable" Haskell
stated, "due to the senational advance
in price of the raw product which now
costs from 300to 500 per cent more
than in 1915"
Canadian pulp manufacturers, from
whom the bulk Of American needs are
supplied, have curtailed their output
to the United tSates by at least $4,000
tons, for the ensuing year. which has
influenced quotations for new con-
tracts by publishers in this country
who are forcedto consider increases of
nearly two cents per pound, Haskell
stated.
"Profiteering in wood pulp" Haskell
stated, ''is undoubtedly being indulged
in by Canadian producers and Ameri-
can buyers have not an alternative but
to submit to these extreme prices. Vast
ofrces in Canada which had been Sc,
cured by interests from the United
States for the purpose Of increasing
production Of wood pulp. have beer
denied to manufacturers in this coun-
try by recent dominion legislation il
made available to Canadian mills who
are withdrawing shipments to the
United States and holding up the
price"

Famous as Edmund Dante.
For more than fifteen years and in

drama lovers that to mention one was
to suggest the other 1t was his great
part, the character in which he ach-
| ieved his greatest success and, despite
his efofrts to discard it for Others he
was often compelled to return to it
in qualification of public demand or at

was then a popular player. The efort
was frowned upon by the authorities
despite the fervorAand reverence witt
which Mr.. ONetll essayed the part ant

Hon to Plant An
Advertising Crop

Until the advent of the
Audit Bureau of Circula-
tions, advertisers sowed
their business seed in a
vast but fallow field. Some
of it grew and returned a
fair harvest-much of it
was cast upon barren
ground and was lost. There
was no standardized meth
cd of determining the fer
,tility of a publications
field. Experimenting was
expensive.
The A. B. C. has elimin-
ated the barren spots OF
circulation. Planting an ad-
vertising crop is no longer
an experiment. Advertis-
ers know the field through
audit reports. They know
whether it is fertile ground
and sow their seed accord
ingly.
