THE PRINTING BUSINESS
were called by the death of his sis
ter, Mrs. C. N. Wilson. Mrs. Wilson
was 37 years old and had been an
invalid for the past year.
Other friends and relatives at
tending the funeral from Heppner
were Mr. and Mrs. Dell Ward, Mr.
and Mrs. Top Reasoner, and Mr. and
Mrs. James Wilks.
(From the Record-Chieftain, Enterprise, Oregon.)
As the prices of commodities have declined of late, and
some other drops are expected, the impression has gone
abroad that everything is coming down to the old level.
This is far from the fact. The future undoubtedly will see
advances as well as declines, for this is a penbd of read
justment in which fair prices will be sought, rather than of
general reduction.
In the printing trade there are no signs of any redufc
lion, and the old level will not be restored either in cities
or small towns. The production of nearly all kinds of pa
per is behind the demand now, and the trade estimates that
consumption is five pounds for every four pounds manufac
tured in the United States. No increase in the supply from
imjports seems probable for several years. Latest price
lists quote the highest figures ever known, which generally
are 300 per cent of the pre-war prices.
The logic of the situation requires that prices in the
country towns be maintained permanently above the old
time level, for the preservation of the business. Some 20
years ago the printing trade in 'both cities and towns ex
cluding from consideration the metropolitan newspapers
was in most deplorable condition. Only a few ooncerns
with special advantages of some kind were earning interest
on their investment. It was nip and tuck with them to
keep alive.
In the country towns the situation was even worse.
Do you remember the numerous jokes about the country
editor? How he had to take wood, potatoes, butter, tur
nips or any other produce in payment of his bills? These
jokes were realities for the man in the business, .and his
compensation was the lowest and the most precarious of
;niy in the country, lie occupied a small shack for shop
and office, lived in a rented cottage, had to scrape and beg
to get cash to pay wholesale bills, and when he died a lodge
buried him.
At the same time a merchant sold his wares for cash,
the banker collected his interest, the lawyer received his
lees, and all of them lived in the big houseSitif the tmvn.
They had their vacations and went to the mountains or the
seashore, and their children finished high school and pro
ceeded off to college. The farmers built larger barns and,
modem houses and bought the latest and most expensive'
machinery. And not one of the men of these classes put j
in as many hours a year of hard, exacting, nerve consuming !
work as did the conscientious country editor doing a com
paratively large business in his line. 1

found a way out of their distress through the eMablish-.
ment of cost systems and the formation of associ itions
which raised prices lo the point where the business could
live and prosper. In the small towns practically nothing
was done to improve conditions until it was forced by the
war. It was a case of meet the facts or quit, ajid those vh)
have stayed in the business have put up prices ami now be
lieve they are entitled to maintain them at a level where
ihey will not fall into the old poverty.

a 40-acre tract of alfalfa meadow for
$9,500, or $235.00 an acre. Mr..
Wilson bought this land raw in 1917
for $1200. He cleared and seeded it
himself, and in 1918 sold $400 worth
of hay from the tract, and in 1919
sold $1800 worth. He still has the
1920 crop to dispose of. The pur
chaser, Chas. Dillon, of the Des
Chutes country, also assumed the
water right, which adds some $80 per
acre to the price of the tract.
