Views of `re Kingston Whig.
At the annual convention of the
American, Newspaper Publishers Assoc.
3ation held in taw York last week the
chief Subject`'of discussion was the' ser
bus situation in which the newspapers
-of to -day -found themselves. The news -

on the edge of a precipice, over which
the weaker ones will ,eventually fall.
'-Oely the fittest can hope to survive in
'the face of the present difficulties.
Many reasons were put forward for. -
the newsprint shortage. The increased
demand of advertisers for space has en-
larged newspapers to many tines their
former size. The needs of fhe newspaper
world for newsprint have doubied, since
^1917 but there has been no correspond
anent showed that during 919.no.less
-than 1,667 news papers in North Amer-
, Ica
mer,tri were forced out of business by fin-
ing increase in production. Labor short ,
'see in lumber districts and in the news
print factories; shortage of freight cars
lack of equipment for newsprint manu-
factures and the action of profiteers
have all contributed towards the present
situation.: • z
Some of the largest newspapers, es-
pecially in the United States have not
'been altogether blameless in the matt-
er, Take for instance the Sunday edit-
. ions of the large New York, Chicago,
Philadelphia and, 'Boston, ;jewspapers-
Every one :1 these uses in a single Sun -
.stay edition more newsprint than would
supply the Whig's r needs ..for a whole
year. A fewofthese publish a,paper of
from 110 to 24 pages every Sunday
with circulations ranging:from;'400,000
'to 1,000,000. Here is where the great
-est waste is found and the publishers
themselves .know this: Jason .Rogers of
•the'New York. Globe,' one of America's
-greatest newspaper `nen expressed him-
-self strongly on this point and sponsor
.ed a resolution that daily newspapers
iie,,restricted to 24 pages an issue and
-Sunday newspapers to sixty-four pages
'but the opposition was too strong,
The remedies suggested were ,num
erous and varied. It was recommended'
that extra and special editions be abo.
,lished, together with noon edition of
,evening papers. The elimination of all
newspapers 60 holidays was another
-suggestion. Other recommendations ado
pted approved of the abolition of ail
veturns,free copies and'special adver

When a body of Wren representing
500 of the continents greatest newspap
ers take a stand such as is mentioned
in the foregoing the public will surely
realize how great is the handicap easier
which newspapers are published to -day.
I The newspaper is a convnunity necess

of the nation, This fullegst possible state
meat of facts serves tb show that the
publisher's path is not.one of roses and
should lfelp the public to realize that in
these days their newspapers must cost
, more and must of necessity be kept to
the mlinimunt size. The Whig as always
stands first of all for eftecient service

,the cost may be our thanks are due the
people of Kipgstnn std "the surrounding
country for their splendid support.

The cycle of fashion turns so -rapidly

with shaped brims and smartly draped
crowns, while plush and satin are
draped into round turbans, some of
