,oald be compelled, to raise their

we can meet the rising
osi of doing business," Mr. friendly
oggested, "by getting more business,

by reducing overhead and oprating

He added:
"The prospect of meeting rising
#ts by raising our own price offers
; least two lines of action; first, adjiclng
circulation charges; second,
ting advertising rates.
"Twenty newspapers of varying
ze, reporting to the A. N. P. A.,
iow over 8 per cent, increase in exmses,
chiefly on payroll, In 1936 over
135."
Mr. Frlondly pointed out that a
ecent increase in the price of Engihlanguage
dailies, which have i

mid net an increase of at least $60,3,000
annually.
Judging by the number of newspers
that are advancing advertis;
rates," Mr. Friendly continued,
m seems to be a strongly backed
nd iu favor of this solution. Many
Kspapers will readjust rate echoes

There is great opportunity for
vspapers to develop large additionadvertising
revenue by urging upbusiness
leaders the necessity of

RAISING MULES IN GEORGIA
Anybody who thinks that Maude
ihd Dobbin have had their day on the
Jeorgia farm lias only to turn to ui
econt article by P. It, Kdwards, of'
he Georgia experiment station, L'ni
perslty system of Georgia, and read
tie statement that the Ueorgla fariter
started the present yeur with 334
housand mules und 27 thousand
torses, valued at more tliun 01 million
lobars.
This is more thun twice the cowlined
value of all the dairy cattle,
eef cattle, calves, hogs, pigs, sheep,
amtiH and gouts in the state. With
n avereugo of 1.4 head of work catle
to each farm, representing an iuestment
of ubout $250, Mr. Kdwards
Igures thut the farm mules aud
torses rank second only to such naural
factors aH the sun and soil and
?????I???BSBgBBW?^
the farmer himself.
Ixmg ye*LTH of expreimeut have
shown that the tractor cannot take
the place of the mule on the farm,
under average conditions. Thua we
find thut iJy thousund mules and
horses are annually required for replacing
old and worn out animals. It
Is estimated that those cost the fariner
between 4 million and t> million
dollars u year. It requires about onetenth
of the returns from (leorgla's
cotton crop each year to buy work
animals for the farm.
Practically all of these animals aye
shipped from other slates aud Mr. Kdwards
wonders that the farmers have
been able to stand up under this
heavy strain. And yet experience has
shown that mules of first quality can
be produced right here in the state.
In some respects the home-raised j
mules are better than those shipped j
. I
in from other H|ates. They are already
acclimated au?l frequently uro
most easily worked. Good mules are
being produced up to working age in
(Jeorgla at $70 to $100 a head, while
imported mules uru costing the furmer
front $200 to $1100 u head.
Mr. Hdwards thinks Georgia farmers
can easily tind use for 40 thousand
brood mares for mule production
without interfering greatly with their '
usefulness as work uniinuls.
Some steps have been taken In the
line indicated. About 4 thousand to
G thousand mules ure produced unnually,
but, as we have seen, this Is
by no means sufficient, and we should
go furthur towards supplying our own
needs Mucou News.
There are K20 candidates for the
Hit) pho es in the Japanese diet < lower
house of parliament). A general
election is to be held on Friday.
