I Io I I i INCREASE IN ADVERTISING RATES The Journal has been forced to take action, deferred for some months in the hope that conditions under which it labors might become better, and with February its dis- play advertising rates are increased from 20 to 25 cents an inch. The 20-cent rate has been in force during the past two years in the face of steadily advancing costs and even the present increase is much Iess in proportion than the jumps taken during that period by every other commodity on the market, and so should be no hardship on our advertiser who have been paying an extremely low rate during that period. We believe it best to restrict the advertising offered from outside sources and avoid any further expansion of pages or call for more pape r during the present shortage. There is no prospect for relief in the print paper situation, as far as it concerns the small newspaper. The above graphic scale indicates the ratio of increasing cost of print paper in the East during the past three years, and while the prices were never so low in the Northwest, it "has not yet quite reached the high price shown on the chart. The indications are that it will, because the sup- ly of print paper is far below the demand, and price will e lost sight of in the effort of the small newspaper to get stockto print its issue. The Journal has no intention of increasing the yearly suF.ecriptidn above the present rate of $2, adopted two years ago, expecting hat the increased advertising rate will absorb most of' the increased cost of print paper, labor and general expenses, and the general public will THE MASON COUNTY JOURNAL _ ...£;UL J'dS * Edward Ahern and Ruby Bishop were married in Montesano on Mon- <lay, February 9th. On their retm•n to the Bishop home Tuesday evening, the young people of the neighbor- hood called with tin pans and cow bells to offer their congratulations and good wishes. The happy pair received their friends with cordialty, and a nice treat of fine candies and fruit. The English Club met with Mrs. Fredson and daughter last Saturday night. The members had a splendid time reciting Romeo aml Juliette and playing games. They were served i with a very nice lunch. I John Garrison and sister, Mrs. Peterson and the Misses Weaver at- tended the (lance at Lilliwaup Satur- day evening. They report a very pleasant time, and meeting many agreeable people. Skokomish Grange was called to new life by Robe¢ C. Johnson, who made a special trip from the Satsop for that purpose./ The members re- sponded well to the call and elected Mr. Johnson master, W. A. Hunter oversee]', Mrs. Bell secretmry, Paul Hunter lecturer• With one of our young men for lecturer, we should have good, results in social and in- tellectual work in the grange. The Glee Club meeting is post- oned indefinitely, as the leader, Mrs. Ed. Dalby, is ill with the flu• As this meeting was for members of the club only, and not a public or invitational affair, it will be held as soon as Mrs• Dalby is well again. Mrs• W• H• Johnston is slightly im- proved. Last Thursday the Home Econom- ics Club met with Mrs. Dixon. A very pleasant session was enjoyed by about fifteen members. Next meet- ing is with Miss Elizabeth Fredson. --Skokomish School. €. .

EY' HANGING MEDALS the re  :veral .nths work on the part of government sleuths indictments have'been brought by the federal grand jury in Seattle against eleven prominent men con- nected with the shipbuilding inter- ests on the Sound and GraysIarbor. The charge is conspirgey o defraud the government. As a new crop of millionaires came out of this branch of war work, the ootsider i inclined to think that the higher-ups as well as the workman dug deep into his bond money without giving fair re- turn. The recent sale of two hulls remaining in the Olympia yard at $1 each, which cost $180,000, and the 82 completed vessels lying idly in Lake Union because no one has any use for them at any price, (nor 'could they have been of use if the war had continued), indicate that either fools or rogues ordered them built in the first place. And they are hanging medals on some of the men guilty of this criminal waste of money and effort. THE H. C. O. L. OUTHIN ENGLAND RESEMBLES PALOUSE (Continued from page 1) Everyone we spoke to seemed to know who Mr. tiardy is, and where his house is. He is obviously not Without honor in his own country. We rode on past his home, Max Gate, an ordinary English house of the better sort, set in a fine little grove of trees and shrubbery, though in an uninteresting part of the town. There is a Roman amphitheatre south of Dorchester, once capable of seating 3,000 people. It is perfect in outline, but its walls are smooth and grass-co-ered, where'once, 2,000 years ago men and women crowded the terraced seats, ager spectators of imitations of the gladiatorial combats of Rome. Even the Roman amphitheatre is a. toy beside Maiden Castle, a great system of earthworks, supposedly of Celtic origin, a mile farther south, Rampart and trench surrounding cover a total area of 115 acres; 44 acres in the center llke the bottom of a cup, are fiat and smooth. On the scene of ancient labors and bat- tles it is not hard to conjure up an army of sweating and naked Celts, digging with rude stone axes and staghorn picks, and carrying on their backs in skin baskets, the untold thousands of tons of earth necessary to render their homes secure from who kows what enemy. Again, one can ithagine them walking post on the ramparts, watching sharply the valleys on either Side. A few m!les away is anbther fortification, per- haps that of a beseiging force. There, strange cycle of time, was until a few mom'ths ago a camp of German prisoners. J. H. BINNS. : I Frank Bennett was over from Puy- l allup and spent last week-end with home folks. Mrs. Win. Madden of Portland is Vimittng at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. sharer. Mr. and Mrs. Harry Winsor visited with Mr. and Mrs. Lester Adams at Dayton sunday.

Lynn Robinson, the notorious trap- per, is catching a great line of [nountain beaver, squirrels and field mice• He has not said as much, but we believe he will make a splendid showing at the annual St. Louis fur sale this year if his 'ood :luck con- tinues. " " "' Mrs. Win. Huntley, Miss Ruby arlson, Catheryn and Georgia Hunt- ey and Allie Robinson, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Bennett, Alma and Vearl Ben- nett and Mr. and Mrs. Dewey Ben- nett were visitors and callers at the Winsor home Sunday. Lynn Robinson spent from Friday till Sunday at Spruce Hill Fmm. J. Sharer left last Monday for a vacation in Seattle at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Percy Spence. Saturday night, February 14, will be the regular Grange meeting night. As there has n.ot been a meeting for a month, all members are urged to be present. It will be installation of officers. Mrs. Will Huntley and daughters, Miss Ruby Carlson and A. W. Rob- insert called at the L. G. Shelton home Sunda afternoon. A good sire is inexpensive, a poor one too expensive in the Ion E run. If we really want to knock prices, we can do it. As long as the public will demand and pay for $16 and $20 shoes, and pass up the plain and homely varieties at half the price, the manufacturer will make them and pay handsome bonuses to his la-! her. When the demand for high- priced stuff, whether shoes, vlothing or whatnot, slumps, they will soon reach the bargain counter--and the manufacturer will readjust prices in the scramble for trade. Just now ',the unlimited demand has downed limited supply, and all the beneficiar- ies are naturally helping,to keep it down.
