Permitted the Owner to Blow Whistle from Clinton to Newberry. Somewhere about 65 years ago, ind shortly after the railroad was milt from Newberry to Laurens, a low was killed by the train a short iistance from Clinton. The owner of ;he cow came to Clinton and applied :o the railroad authorities for pay !or the cow the train had killed. They >ut him off with some excuse, but he continued to come and demand pay .'or his cow, and the railroad men jontinued to put the matter off. So )ne day he made this proposal to the 'ailroad men: If they would let him ride on the engine with the engineer, - - * ' V v ^ A 1 "U ^ ina diow me wnisne as mucn as ue pleased for one trip to Newberry and Dack, he would count the cow paid for. This was accepted and a day set. On the day appointed he came to Clinton, and taking his place on the engine commenced to blow the whis:le. He "blowed" the whistle all the vay to Martin's depot and all the time :hrough Kinards. Below Kinards i short distance they had to stop the train to get up steam and water. At Jalapa the railroad men came round md promised to pay for the cow if he would stop blowing the whistle. But, no sir, he had paid for the right to blow the whistle to his entire satisfaction, and he intended to blow it. At Newberry all the time they were turning the engine around and getting the train ready to come back to Clniton he was blowing the whistle. It was while there that the railroad men offered to pay him twenty-five dollars?fifty dollars?and I believe even one hundred dollars, if he would stop blowing the whistle and ride back in the passenger coach. But, no, sir, he had paid for the right to blow that whistle to his entire satisfaction and he intended to blow it. He contineud to blow the whistle all the way from Newberry to Clinton, and the train had to stop two or three A w n4-/\r? n r? rl Tiro t Ar LlllJeS LU gtJt Up ^icciin anu v^aici.

Fortunately most business printing is in black and white. Those are the time-tried, tested and true colors that are always good. We can go a long way with nothing more. But there are times and occasions when we want a dash ot variety?when we want to use color ?when we like to break loose from the sobriety of just black and white. We have heard a lot about the scarcity of dyes, and in anticipation of such scarcity we have already bowed to a wave of fashion in which black and white have been fiercely contrasted in stripes and checks on wallpaper, in carpets and, of course, in women's clothes. There is no levity in our apprehension that this fashion may be more severely forced upon us in every direction unless the fighters get a smattering of sense pretty soon and quit their foolishness. There is scarcity of color. It af fects not only your fancy vest and Christmas cravats, your wife's hat and side-laced shoes, the new wallpaper for the living-room and the new madras draperies for the guest room?but also your own business, , no matter what it may be, provided you use printing of any kind. For color is color, and it makes no difference where or how you are go ing to use it. When it's scarce you have to pay a premium for it, or you can't get it at all, and you're just as bad off if you want it for a little mailing insert as if you ran a woolen mill and wanted it for a million yards of blue serge. Already the price of some colors has increased 1,000 per cent. That means a forced raise of a large amount in the price of inks, and an addition of from one to five cents a pound to the cost of paper. You may think that ordinary print-j ers' ink is too small a matter to worry about, and if you do you are' wrong. Halftone black in the grade, you ought to use to do credit to your engravings can't be had for much less ; than $1 a pound, yet you can't cover1 much surface with a pound of ink. It isn't unusual for an average catalogue to soak up $25 to $50 worth of plain black ink. That goes into your bill. Ten per cent, on the ink cost alone makes enough to think about seriously. Many a printer has lost an order because he was a couple ing 1 OUR NI we wish to thank you first of all. And promise with your liberal pat please your every want.

Stocks Are Low and Raw Material Not to Re Had Anywhere. Printers are advised by manufacturers that unless the scarcity of raw material for paper making is relieved shortly some of the mills must be closed.. Arthur C. Hastings, president of the American Writing Paper company, Holyoke, Mass.. writes: "The country is facing the greatest general paper famine in its history. The stocks in the hands of our jobbers are very low, our imports have been practically cut off, and our exports are greater than ever before. What is more, I can see no relief in sight. I do not know how we are going to meet the situation." An appeal made to women in 1801 by New England paper manufacturers to save their rags is recalled by floral HonnrtmpTit of commerce. UIO IVUVyl Ui ViVfw* , in a circular issued Friday, urging every one to hoard both paper and rags to avert a threatened shortage of paper making materials. It is declared the need is as urgent now as then. A great part of the paper thrown away every day should be used over again, the circular declares. The paper saving crusade was suggested by paper manufacturers. , of dollars high on the kind of ink he wanted to use. Same thing when it comes to paper. If you specify blue bond today it will cost you about three cents a pound more than it did a few months ago. That's about thirty cents on a thousand ordinary letterheads for paper increase alone. Cover stocks, weighing rrom sixiy i to a hundred pounds a ream, and al-' most invariably in colors, have gone| up the same way. The difference is j plainly from a dollar to perhaps five dollars a ream of 500 sheets. Even type is more expensive, because it contains metals affected strongly by war conditions. Photographs will cost more and may be impossible to get because the supply of developers of certain kinds is almost exhausted. Finally, there is no phase of the printers' craft and its auxiliaries that is not affected along the line of es sentially higher prices. G. Ernest Magee, of Lynn, has completed a record of having attended Sunday-school for twenty years without missing a Sunday. He began when he was 13 years of age.
