WANT ALL PAPER
WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. Efforts;
to find relief for the news print paper
Bhortugc and prevailing high prices
were continued Hero today by the fed
eral trado commission In conference
.with committees of newspaper pub
lishers, news print manufacturers
and paper Jobbers. A plan that was
discussed proposed that publishers of
larger newspnpers reduce their pur
chases next year by five per cent so
the smaller papers may receive some
of the supply. .Messages were sent
today to largo publishers to ascertain
ir they will subscribe to the plan, re
linquishing flvo per cent or their 1017
contracted supply and to small pub
lishers to learn their lfl 17 needs. At
the same time the nuinufacturers'
committee was trying to learn the ex
act amount of paper slock on hand
In the I'nited States and the amount
that will be manufactured for next
year's needs.
The larger publishers are not well
satisfied with the plan proposed, con

"At present wo are practically defenseless before the veteran armies
ot our northern neighbors and could easily be crushed by the existing
roulatlon of the island empires."
But the same condition has exisled for a hundred years,
and peace has reigned between the United States and Can
ada during all these years, without so much as a border

fan the flames of' national prejudice into warfare.

It is proposed to abandon democratic ideals and prin
ciples and go back to the devise of jiionarcliial militarism,
with war the chief purpose hi life. It is proposed to sub
stitute the blood-bespattered fallacies of feudalism for the
idealism of the new world republic with its policy of peace
and good will among mankind.
America was largely -peopled by lovers of liberty flee

inevitable results. And without even the threat of mili-tary-mad

You have heard somebodv talk this wav more than
once in the last year. Deploring our "spiritual debilitv'
is ii popular pessimistic habit. And therefore, if you ever
have any dreams ot your own, you probably have stopped
conlessuig to them. ou think it pure waste, lor example,
to try to discuss "character" when ordinary conversation
runs entirely to the high cost of living.
Yet you know, all the time, that if any complete in
vestigation of high prices could be. made, the element of
character would have to enter into it. Men who dream of
ideals do not become grafters and exploiters, do not corner
foods, do not make combinations in restraint of trade.
Hut do you ever stop to think that because destruction
seems to threaten man's best spiritual achievements you
ought to assume your own little share of responsibility for
preserving civilization I And that you can do your bit hest
by sticking to your visions (

it Invested $300,000 In a pipe line.
When the Canal company began to j ,
build Its dam I gave the city council
a letter asking It to protect tho city's j
water supply by keeping the Canal
company from polluting tho water, as ;
it was about to back the water over j
the old camp grounds. Tho Canal ,
company kept a large force of men
camped along side the lake, likewise
stabling eight head of horses there, j
When they overflowed this same ;
ground with the city water they did ,
not even remove the stable or do any- j
thing else for the protection of tho
purity of tho wnter. Mr. Ilrown has ;
heretofore, denied that there wus any ;
such stable, but he does not need to j
do It any .more for I have a photo-1
graph 6f.it on my tnblo before. me.
The stable- was made, of poles audi

water got so foul that It could senrce- '

was let out of tho dam. About tho :

rights through this dam the city will j
ho compelled to tnke legal action to j
prevent the pollution of its water sup
ply. This is one of the law suits they
probably want to unload on the pro
posed district.
If the Canal company wants to con
tinue to pollute . the water supply,
then would It not he a good idea for
it to extend the lledtord pipe line
to the springs at tho head of Dig
Ilutte creek where there is an ample
supply of pure water? At least, would
it not be better for the Canal com
pany and the city to get this matter
adjusted betore the farmers make a
million dollar investment in tho en
terprise? ,.

We take this method of apologiz
ing to our many customers for our
inability to supply Ford Cars to
meet the demand and to assure
those waiting that the production
has, been increased to such an ex
tent that we now have only 38
unfilled orders on file.
We expect to be able to fill all
orders within a short time and
would advise all prospective pur
chasers to place their orders at once
thus assuring early delivery.
Not only are there more Fords
in use than of all other makes, but
more future orders are now book
