After a thorough investigation und canvass of the newspaper situation the department of jour nalism of the Kansas University has issued the following bulletin: "The newspapers of the United States to day face a situation nn paralled in the history of the press of this country. The public has felt the effect of the European war in purchasing commodities, and It is about to feel ! tftct upon the price of newspapers It is now up to the newspapers to tell their readers and adver tieers why an increase in price is necessary, in other words, the ' press faces an educational cam paign for its own saivation. "When the average man pur J chases a staple article to day and finds the price has increased from twenty five to fifty per cent, he already Knows or is told that the war has brought about such a condition. The manufacturer of that article has, already per haps, advertised the fact that be is compelled to increase h 1 s prices. No industry is more se riously affected by the war" than the newspapers of this country, and yet an increase in advertising or circulation rates is lm medial ly frowned upon, because the newspapers have failed to inform the public to what a great extent they are affected by the war. "If the newspapers will tell their readers and advertisers that the price of some ink' has increased 400 per cent; that rags, the raw material for paper mak ing, is also nsed for the manufac ture of high grade explosives and has ascended in cost on a level with the Eiffel towed; that French bleach, so necessary for the man ufacture of paper, can hardly be -ad at any price, a:id the score f other necessary chemicals lave jumped almost out of sig-bt, uhey will find their tasns of rais ing rates much easier. That all newspapers will be compelled to take such action is certain. Many have already done so, and the paper attempting to adhere to it3 old rate basis will soon find the sheriff locking the front door. The big paper mills of the country see no relief in sight for many months, even should the great war cease this summer, something now unexpected. The newspapers of this country will be compelled to do what the big manufacturers have already done ra.se their rates in proportion to the increased cost of produc tion. Renewed Testimony No one in McConnellsburg who suffers backache, headaches, or distressing ills can afford to ignore this McConnellsburg man's twice-told story. It is confirmed testimony that no McConnells burg resident can doubt. John P. Conrad, deputy post master, McConnellsburg, says: "I had terrible pains acrosg my back and I didn't sleep well. was very nervous and when I got up in the morning, I was more tired than when I went to bed. Doan's Kidney Pills soon freed my back from pain." Over four years later, Mr. Conrad said: "I haven't needed any medicine for badkache or other kidney trouble since I used Doan's Kidney Pills. Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simpJy ask for a kidney remedy get Doan's Kidney Pills the same that Mr. Conrad .has twice publicly recommended. Foster Miiburn Co., Props., Buffalo, 1M. Y.

It was some ban kari yea- to run for an office, 'tis true, ano any candidate who could carry five counties out of eight under the adverse circumstances ha? no reason to complain, and Con gressman Focht is altogether content and grateful to those wh helped and in no wise resentful toward those who this year could not see the light and be in at tbt winning. Winter Here. According to the Weather Man's forecasts, we are getting a taste of winter this week. A heavy snow storm raged in the Rocky Mountain States Monday, reaching the Middle West Tues day and extending to the north ern Atlantic States. The heaviest snow storm in many years fell in central Vermont Monday night. The thermomete registered 16 below zero in Chicago at 7 o'clock, Tuesday morning, and snow fell in Altoona, Tuesday. In McCon nellsburg, the lowest temperature was 27 degrees at 8:30 Wednes day morning, and no precipitation during the last week. At 3 o' clock Monday afternoon, the mer cury stood at 66, and fell gradu ally until Wednesday morning, when it began to rise. Many Trees To Be Planted. The State Forestry Department and the State Highway Depart ment will co-operate in the plant ing of shade and fruit trees along the State Highways. 23,000 of these trees have been transdant- ed in specially prepared plots on the State Forests in Clearfield, Tiga Franklin, Huntingdon and Pike counties. They have been cultivated and encouraged to grow rapidly, and next spring they will be transplanted. The' object of frequent transplanting is to develop stocky and vigorous root system. Some years ago, fruit and nut-trees were plant ed as an experiment along many roads in Missouri with highly satisfactory results. The only fruit trees ready for transplant ing by our state are those bear ing small fruits for birds. WOMAN IN BUSINESS. The Banker The new boml will be issued in different denominations.

DOUGLAS FIR HIGHLY PRIZED No Other Wood So Much In Demand for the Masts of Ships and Flagstaff. The province of British Columbia has presented to the Kew (England) botanic gardens a giant flagstaff of Douglus fir, to replace the old 159- foot staff, which lasted 60 years. The new pole is 215 feet long and weighs 18 tons. It was shaped and creo soted in Vancouver, conveyed by steamer to London, and floated up the Thames to Kew. Poles of Doug las fir are highly valued for ships' .masts and flagstaff because of their straightness, durability, strength and resilience. The timber is also large ly used for telegraph and electric railway poles and bridge and trestle timbers. The forest service regards Douglas fir as perhaps the most lm portant of American woods. Esti- mates of the available supply range from 300,000,000,000 to 350,000, 000,000 feet, board measure. The tree is most abundant, and attains its largest size not far above sea level in southern British Columbia and in the region between tho coast of Washington and Oregon and the western foothills of the Cascade mountains. There the trees, crowd ed close together, rise to a height of 300 feet; indeed, lumbermen report trees 350 feet high, with trunks 11 feet in diameter, free of branches for 200 feet, and with hardly any per ceptible taper up to that height Douglas fir usually grows rapidly, In California there are trees only ten years old that have trunks a foot in diameter. It produces many cones and the seeds germinate freely. Ac cording to Sargent, the seedlings spring up as thick as grass where the forest has been cleared by fire. In the struggle for existence the weak est are crowded out, urrtfl finally there arises a crowd of pololike stem destitute of branches and foliage ex eept at the top. Germany has plant ed large experimental forests of Douglas fir, which, the experts say, is' likely to rival and eventually to replace the larch in Europe as a tim ber tree. -Youth's Companion.

There is a vast difference be tween good butter and perfect butter. Many farms produce good butter, but perfect butter is a curiosity. It seems strange that more good butter is not pro duced since the process is no more difficult than that of mak ing "axlegrease" butter. By-the-way, there is no surer way to make your merchant talk about you behind your back than to ask him to take butter not fit for human use and pay you mar ket price of good butter, .because it is usually a dead loss to him. The first thing to remember in making perfect butter is cleanli ness from the time the cows are milked until the butter is sold. Milk and butter absorb odors like sponge absorbs water. The next ebsential is a correct dairy ther mometer. Keep each lot of skim med cream, or separated cream, by itself at as nearly 50 degrees temperature as possible until half a day before they are to be churned. They should then be Tiixed and the cream can set in a bucket of water to bring the temperature to 70,. and kept at that until ready to churn, a' vhich time, reduce the tempera ture to 58 degrees. The barrel :hurn has been found best, and after the foregoing treatment, the churning should require 25 to 30 minutes. The buttermilk ihould then be drawn off and the trains of butter washed several 'imes in the churn until all tracet if milk disappear. Perfect but ter makers tell us that under no ircumstances should you depend m working out the milk with the or.ddle or butter worker. The nilk'should be washed out, not vorked out. Handle the butter vith a paddle for two reasons, tamely, for sanitary reasons, and because, the warm hand melts a ittle of the butter fat. Add an unce of fine salt to each pound f butter fat Work the butter md make into molds without :ouching with the hands, and vrap in parchment paper. Be ore churning, scald the churn md then cool with cold water. .fter churning, scald and scrub he churn and set in the sun to ley. Few will follow these rules n detail, but if the main points )e observed, there will be mark k! improvement in the supply of utter on many tables. And ev ry butter eater knows that there ire "miles" of improvement need id in much of the butter that comes to town. S. RAYMOND SNYDER, Jeweler.
