Circulars are being sent around to the newspaper offices throughout the country by the big paper dealers to the effect that it is found necessary to ad- vance the price of all papers owing to the increased cost of raw material and the paper mills being obliged to put on three shifts where formerly two suffic- ed. The circular tells the story that the price of paper is going up, up. The papers affected the most are the kinds Used in job printing such as flats, bonds, linens and ledgers. On these papers there has been a big increase in cost and all former price lists have been cancelled. Naturally this means that the general cost of job printing must be increased to take care of this advance inPap er values. Owing to the existing conditions in the paper market it is difficult at this time to say how high prices on paper may climb. Three Hamilton people were drowned on the holiday. How it Happened. An Irishman applying for a pension insisted on the justice of his claim, ow- ing to the fact that he had been wound- ed while in the service of his country. "How and where were you wounded?" one of the committee inquired. Plac- ing his band ever his heart he said' --"I was shot in the breast on a retreat, your honor." "Shot through the breast on a retreat?" "I had the indiscretion to turn and look back, yer honor." "But if you were shot through the breast in the place you indicated the ball would have gone through your heart. How is that?" "My heart was in ray month at the time, yer honor." A sturdy Scotsman had been having a dispute with his wife, which resulted in his taking refuge under the bed. As she stood on guard, with a good sited stick in her hand, he called lustily from. his retreat. "Ye can lam me and ye cn bate me but ye canna break i^na manly spirit. I'll no come oot."
