Kernigham. and Cha An Anxious Time Newspaper publishers Canada are having an anxious time over the newsprint situation. The paper mills refuse to book new. con- tracts at any price, and: state that the price next year will be at least sixty per cent, higher than at pres- ent. The publishers Tegard the in- crease as abnormal, and as the Cana- dian mills export the great proportion of their product to the United States, the publishers may look to the govern- ment to relieve the situation by plac- ing an embargo on the export of newsprint, In the meantime govern- ment experts will investigate the cost of newsprint manufacture. The pro- posed increase is bad enough for the weekly men but it is worse for the dailies, many of whom are selling their newspapers at a good deal less than the white paper costs them. If nothing is done to relieve the situa- tion, many dailies will be driven out of business. A corsiderable increase in newsprint is to be expected in any case. And it would be not an unmixed evil. It would force the metropolitan dailies to raise their subscription price, and depend more upon revenue from subscriptions *than upon the ad- vertising of thé big business Corpor- atious. A rise' in the subscription price of the big dailies, would help to free them from corporate influence and would be a good thing for Canadi. jPRalas 4 This district subscribed over. tae Mr. Connolly, of Kennicott, has se-" are cured the contract of constructing quite a portion of the lower part of the Krugel Award Drain, and constructing the most of the upper part of the same drain.

In the past they have each been able to carry at least one '"hipper," besides a trunk- full of joy water, if they-so desired Prohibition has done away with al! this, however, It is claimed that the, new act will not allow any person to carry one single 'wee drap"' into the north woods, let alone a large quan- tity. Police Magistrate Denison, of Toronto, claims that is a violation of the law to carry any bottle that con- tains a greater amount of "live stuff" than regulation 24% per cent., but the magistrate.at Ottawa is of the opin- ion that. anybody can carry a half a dozen hippers if they wish, provid- ing the seals of the same are not broken. Funny Addition Sum How many apples did Adam and Eve eat? Some say Eve 8 and Adam 2-- al total of 10 only. Now we figure the thing out differently, Eve 8 and Adam 8 also, total 16. We think the above figures are en- tirely wrong. If Eve 8 and Adam 82 certainly the total would be 90. Scientific men, however, on the strength of the theory that the An- tedeluvians were a race of giants. reason something like this, Eve 81 and Adam 82--total 163. Wrong gain What would be clearer than if Eve | 81 and Adam §812--total 893. ® I believe the following to be the true solution. Eve 814 Adam and Adam 8124 Eve--total 8938. Still another calculation is as. fol- lows; if Eve 814 Adam, Adam 81242 oblige Eve--total 812,056. --------- 4 Tommy Atkins The name Tommy.
