THE CHRISTMAS SPIRIT.
If you would spend a happy
Christmas, see to it 'that you make
some one else happy. 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

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.
