Munsey, New York publisher. Appearing before the senate committee irRestigatin.g the news print paper shortage he urged drastic reduction in the use of newsprint and governmental regula tion both of the paper and the wood pulp source. William Randolph Hearst, another New York publisher, in a letter to the committee, advocated a 20 or 25 per cent cut in the size of newspapers but said he believed the time for gov- rnmental regulation had passed. Mr. Hearst urged publishers to dou ble advertising and circulation rates, saying such action would automatical ly cut down the size and number of copies without reducting revenue. The government could not reduce newsprint consumption by regulating tlie number of pages of papers admit ted to the mails, Mr. Munsey told the committee because scarcely none of the large, city dailies rely for their revenue on mail circulalon. Both publishers agreed that the great Sunday editions of the city pa pers were important factors in the situation. .Mr. Munsey advocated reg ulation limiting the Sunday edition to the size of the week day issue, “not more than 24 pages.’’ Mr. Hearst wrote he had cut the size of his papers 20 and 25 per cent without adversely affecting his reve nue or causing complaint from sub scribers. Co-operation between publishers to economize in the use of print paper would result in "a total curtailment of 20 or 25 per cent and would solve the problem, Mr. Hearst whole. Mr. Munsey took an opposite view. He told the committee that co-operation could not be made effective because publishers would not enter into an agreement. Commenting on the spot market situation. Mr. Munsey said that when spot paper went to 12 cents a pound he ceased buying and relied on con tract news print for which he now pays five cents. Asked by Senator Gronna. North Dakota, if it was not true that the small country publisher had no con tracts and were forced to rely on brokers buying on the spot market, Mr. Munsey said he believed such was the case, but added that many city publishers were in a similar sit uation. Chairman Reed announced that a number of paper brokers would ap pear before the committee. He read a telegram from T. R. William., Pitts- burgh, president of the Newspaper Publishers’ association, saying he could not appear before the commit tee in his official capacity because the association had decided to take no part in the congressional investiga tion. v*.

With cotton hardly out of the ground yet the Times understands that buyers have apeared in Florence offering 75 and KJ cents per pound for Florence county long staple, mid dling or better, produced in the com ing crop. This offer is being made on lots of 1,000 bales. Presumably these purchasers rep resent Eastern interests, who have a Pretty good line on the cotton condi tions prevailing and the outlook for the market. Incidently, this price is being refused by a number of per sons. who believe they will realize- one dollar or more, per pound, by holding for .‘he spot market. $10 For Potatoes Joe M. Cojumander has just refused $10 per barrel, of 10 pecks, for 15 acres of Irish potatoes which he plant ed this spring. "1 planted these 15 acres feeling that if I realized $10 on them,’’ lie said, “that 1 would be well satisfied. Tom Gregg does not want me to be Lsappointed and has offered me $10 for them, as the crop now stands. 1 Now | expect to get $12.50 for them —may be more.” Sweet in Demand In this connection, the Planters Produce and Storage company is ad vertising for 3-,000 bushels of sweet potatoes, guaranteeing the producers a, ready and profitable market for this amount—with tlie expectation they will be able to handle consider ably more than this amount. This company is capitalied at $50,- 000 to erect a chain of curing and stor ing houses here and in Timmousville.

PATCH ’EM AND WEAR ’EM ( Resulting from the effort of tlie Chamber of Commerce and the spirit of co-operation which the American Railway Express company. officials manifested, the free delivery limits of express have been made approxi mately identical with the city corpo rate limits. Originally, the major portion of the western residential sec tion of the city was excluded In the express delivery limits. Such exclusion occurred several years ago when that section was not built up. Since that date, there hrs been a very marked extension of the population into that territory. Recently when the volume of service became so very heavy, the local offi cials found themselves compelled to restrict deliveries to the delivery zones Accordingly the western sec tion was excluded not withstanding its largo number of residents. District officials of the company spent yesterday afternoon in the city wth the officers of the Chamber of Commerce and the local officers of tlie express company, and marked out new delivery limits to take in all the newly populated and built up territory. They came at the instance of the Chamber of Commerce, which brought the situation to their atten tion.
