Real happiness is attained in only two ways: by making others happy cr by others making you happy. Happiness can not be secured by selfishness. Most of those * reading this article are doubtless of mature years. You remember when you were a child Christmas was a happy time. You spent several months just looking forward to Christmas. You 'were happy then because others made you soso. Those happy Christmases ma>again be realized?not in the same way, because you are grown up, and you can have the same feelings now only by taking advantage of your opportunity to do to others as others did to you years ago. The nearest approach to the happiness of your childhood Christmas is in the making of others happy now. -There are xi ^~ ?'*? +V?^\ -n*/~>-i-1 r? movho tULUUSctilUS jtxi iuu ?r ui iu, *s\j door to you, whose circumstances I are such that Christmas will not be the merry time it ought to be; perhaps it is not possible for' Santa Claus to make his annual visit 4here and leave the things that will be left at your fireside Friday night. If you would awaken that childish happiness in your own breast, make it possible for Santa to be in that home. Pick out some such family and provide the children with the things that make the childish heart glad. Trash? Perhaps. Yet, we are often persuaded that nothing is trash that makes folks happy. If there are none near you in needy circumstances, there are many hundreds of thousands in foreign lands, who will not only not have Christmas joys, but who have not even the absolute necessities of life. Funds are being collected for these needy people throughout the land, and it will make you feel better if you will contribute to such a cause generously. Exercise the real Christmas spirit?peace on earth, good will toward men. Forget the price of cotton for a few days. The world was here before cotton was ever heard of anyway. ? THE PRICE OF PAPER. ' As many of the friends of The Herald have made inquiries as to the probability of reduction in cost of newspapers and paper goods generally, it may not be out of place to relate a few facts here. We are often reminded by customers of quotations made some weeks or months ago, and the question is frequently asked why no reductions are being made, inasmuch as goods of most kinds have declined in price. We are compelled to reply that there is no reducV tions in the cost of stationery or , publishing, and we are now rather of the opinion that the public may never again expect the low prices of. the pre-war period. The pre-war price of news print paper was $2.65 per 100 pounds. Today there is no quotation on news print, nor has there been for the past year or so. Various dealers sell j it for from 10 1-2 cents to 16 cents a pound. We beleieve it can be bought by the trade generally around 14 cents a pound, and by those who have contracts at prices somewhat less, but there has been no decline; on the contrary, The Herald bought paper two months ago for 9 1-2 cents, and it would have to pay now, from the same dealer, 10 1-2 cents, | a recent advance of one cent a pound. This means that where it used to cost 1-4 cent for the paper on which each Herald was printed, it now costs a little more than one cent. The Herald has been fortunate in having a paper connection with a house that has never profiteered in news print. Many of our exchanges are now printed on' paper that costs them a cent and a half for each paper. With the exception of a few emergency lots, 1 The Herald has never paid in excess of 9 1-2 cents a pound for paper, but will have to Dav a cent a pound more for our next lot. The situation in regard to job j printing papers is about the same as with print paper, except that there are regular quotations. The price of Hammermill Bond, a popular medium grade, of paper, on July 1 last was 22 cents per pound. The price list of Dec. 15 gives it at 24 1-2 cents, but no advance has been made in the last sixty days. The price of . Strathmore Parchment, a very high grade of job paper, on July 1 was 55 cents a pound, and on December 115 was GO cents. Practically all other job papers are about in accordance with these two items, there being no recent advance except in some few instances. Poster paper has made a recent advance of 2") cents per ream, now quoted at $4.00 a ream, the last quotation being and the prewar price being, we believe, about 70 cents. There has been no decline in any material entering into the printing and publishing business, and it is the opinion of those making a study of the situation that the previous low levels may not be looked for anv time soon, if ever. No paper, so far as we have learned, has made any attempt to reduce its subscription price or advw?* 1 ? ^ ^ n. tising rates. Tiie suoscription 01 una paper was not advanced with other commodities, for the reason that increasing or decreasing a subscription price is not without great difficulties, and we preferred to take certain losses than make any changes. And we can see no possibility of any reduction. In fact The Herald was worth $2.00 a year long before the increase was made, before the war, for that matter, and would have been increased anyway.
