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

were married in Montesano on Mon-
<lay, February 9th. On their retm•n
to the Bishop home Tuesday evening,

and a nice treat of fine candies and
fruit.

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.

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.

Saturday night, February 14, will

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.
