Show ? K ABOUT WHITE PAPER 111 We feel quite sure Logan .people do not ' m $ appreciate the talk they hear these days , W '$ about a white paper shortage. They buy M K a taet fo rle school child or a few Mf.? sheets of writing paper for themselves w, occasionally and imagine that so'long as 'M - Oiose articles can be had this talk of a A ? shortage fust be overdrawn. S L- ' n le otncr hand, it is a hundred "' ft times worse than the average citizen m i ' ' luiows anything about. In fact post office ' ! - figures show that since January 1 alone, ,'.' W more than 900 papers have been forced W to siispend publication because of their '. jml inability to get white paper. And the big P wr. f, city )apers are forced to cut in size and "" 1 raise their advertising rates, sometimes I doubling them, to get out regularly. I With papers in towns of this size the Mj , latter cannot be done. We must struggle ! along, for a time at least, at the present ."flra small ad rate- We can only skimp and i 111 F' save every sheet posible and pay exact- E l ly three times now the price we j)aid for B? r white paper two years ago. Not onlv is . H " '' it three times as high, but it is almost im- ' n possible to get it at all. Not only do we m- g pay three times as much as we ever did , K hK Pay fr , but you still get it on subscrip- : W W tion at the same old rate. IK There is but one ray of hope to the pa- . w per shortage. And that is that every sub- I- scriber will keep his subscription paid up, H or for a year in advance, as the publisher vjl. able to ofl'er cash is the first to get white jft paper now. A dollar on accouit from you $S' " ' and one from your neighbor will go far & towad helping us solve uur end, of the $W & '' shortage. And in the face of everything -, ,y that seems a lnttle enough thing to ask. |
