Representative Snapp recent- ly said in an interyiew: ‘‘Itseems to me that the newsparer publishers of the United StatesZhave this question of increased price, made necessary by the high cost of paper, entirely io their own Practically all other commodities have increased in prices, but the publishers have gone on giving a2-cents paper for1 cent and a 5-cents paper for 3 cents. The publishers should get together and increase their prices, to bring them ina fair return for labor and ma- terials, just as is due by any other business man who supplies the pub-— lict demand.” “I do not believe the remedy lies entirely in taking the duty off wood Mr. Snapp said, in reply toa “This, in my mind, is a of cause of increas. It would help the situation, and I hope to see tne matter investi- gated by congress at this session, I think that the increased price of paper is largely due to the combina- tion of manufacturers and the grow- ing scarcity and higher cost of raw hands, pulp,” question. small part probably materials.” It may be that Mr. Snapp is right, but he little knows the difficulties the average newspaper man bas to contend with§in jraising the price of his paper. *It may be that if an investigation of the re- cent merger engineered from New York was made, that there would be no necessity to raise the price of papers. Whatis tie difference be- tween a trust and a’ merger anyway, except in name? One is for thé pur- pose of raiisng the price of paper and is illegal, the other raises the price limits the outputand is all right. “You pays your money and takes your the man that has to buy the the neck either choice paper gets it in way a The Eveleth Star says: ‘A good mavy unionist families in Eveleth are $20 from having pur- ehased stock in the cosoperative store ‘lately frazzled out, as it was These investors were who thought they knew mure about how business should be run than anybody else in the country knowledge did not stand the testof conducting even a small mercantile business.

Davis, at Laurel and Farrington avenues, St. Paul, a‘ land- mark of the city, was dearly ‘des- troyed by fire early Sunday morning, It was built thirty years ago, and was the scene of the tirst wedding of the senator. It housed the second Mrs. Davis, who™with her husband were conspicudus figures. at the national capital. The house also sheltered the parents of the senator. When he was governor of Minnesota many important state questions were discussed in the library of the house. In later years, when he was sent to Washington as a United Transacts a General Banking Business States senator the house was the re- dezvous of national and local lights in politics and commerce. —- ++ ——— The supreme court of the state of Minnesota is threatended with im- peachment.

Their methods are not such as to be commended by law-abiding citizens, but may be the only way they have of getting even with the trust who are dominating the price the growers shall receive for their crop. Was She to Blame. Perhaps one of the most natural and delightful of plays is J. G. Stuttz’ masterpiece ‘“‘Was She to Blame” which will be presented here for the first time Monday Dec. 16. « This play differs from others in that each character is drawn from some living counterpart. The story is true to life and founded on absolute fact. A story that in its truth, touches the ineremost feelings and stirs the pulses while the comedy scenes areirrestibly funny. There are.so few really clean ané wholesome plays that one cannot afford to miss the opportunity to witness ‘‘Was She to Blame’’ that has been seen by more than half the United States and Canada and en* dorsed everywhere by both press and public as being a play* that is really worth while. Butter By The Yard. From the Chicago Reocrd-Herald: Ip Cambridge, England, butter is sold by the yard. For generations it has been the practice of Cambridge- shire dairy folk to roll their butter into lengths, each length measuring a yard and weighing a pound. Deftly wrapped in strips of clean white cloth the cylindrical rolls are packed in long, narrow baskets made for the purpose and thus conveyed to market. The butter women, who in white linen aprons and sleeves, presides over the stalls in the market have no need of weights or scales for dispen- sing their wares. Constant practice ahd experienced eyes’ enable them with a stroke of the knife to divide a yard of butter into halves or quarters with almost mathematical exact- ness. ‘i The university people are the chief buyers of this duriously shaped’ prod- uct. In addition to being famed for its purity and sweetdess Cambridge “yard butter” is eminently adapted for being served to the students in the daily commons. _ Cut in“ con- veniently sized pieces and accom- panied by a loaf the best wheat bread, a stated portion is sent round every morning tothe rooms of the undergraduates for use at breakiast and tea. 4 Grand Rapids, Minn.
