The newspapers felt the rise 'in prices as quickly as anyone, but they have been rather slow to demand corresponding, advance in income. Some publishers have taken too modest a view of their own import­ ance. K they are. printing good newspapers, their prdduct is just as essential to the community as any­ thing else. The people will never be satisfied to dispense with the news­ papers, The business men can't without, seeing.-iheir home towns go down and their business decline, If all business, men realized the use they might make of advertising to draw in new trade, many newspapers could be successfully financed with much increase in rates.—Newark (O.) Advocatf. .’But they don't. And another thing the public don't realize how absurdly cheap they get their weekly newspap­ er, 52 times a ^ear/ And, of course^ this applies to the dailies in the cities. . Even in the days when white print paper was cheap, the price of the newspaper was ridiculously low. No­ body bought any other-necessity so cheaply.' And now, when the cost of white print paper has Soared to ■ the skies, when all costs in: even the smallest weekly .newspaper office have advanced to Unheard of ligures, and with the publisher’s ow^ dollar worth less than 50 cents to himwhen he goes to the grower and the butcher, isn’t it time for the newspaper reader ip view absolUtely necessary increases insubscription rates with sympathy?

MARVIN, Author of *<The American Msrohant , Marine; Its History and Rwpanoe” Washington, O, The farmers of this country at present are shipowners on s large scale. They own shares in a corporation that controls 2,800 groat merchant steamers built since the war began. Most o f these 'farmer-owners have never‘seen the sh£ps4» which they own a share, and a goqd many of themhave never seen the ocean. They are tied to an enterprise that somebody else runs for them. But they are footing- tjte bills, alongwith themanufacturers, the workmen, the merchants and the minora of the country, and these bills are ijkely to prove staggering unless '■feme way is found promptly to make the, most effective use or disposal of these 2.3(H) vessels,' Thu la, the sUbetauco of * situation that has arisen as a result of the gov­ ernment’s- ehergency shipbuilding ac­ tivities in the war. The sufferingworld cried for ships, and the American peo­ ple heard their cry, and built the ships. Money was poured into the shipbuild­ ing program. Yards were created where none existed before. Armies of* workmen were trained In the trade of shipbuilder*. An enormous output was. attained,. Suddenly the war came to an end. The shipbuildingprogramwas then under such headway that it could not he suddenly stopped. It is. still going, fn, fact.
