A poor old cider woman of long ago ex-
plained to her customers that she lost on every
glass she sold, but made it up on the great
number sold. Figure it out for yourself.
• Now we, feel sometimes like the old cider
wotlan.
We lose on every subscription we take at a
dollar a year, yet try to say to ourselves that
we make it up on the large number of our sub-
scribers.
A good weekly newspaper cannot be pro-
duced for ,`;1.00 a year. $ 1.50 is the absolute
minimum—and this only when the newspaper
'carries a goodly amount of advertising. On
the advertiser is placed the burden of losses on
subscriptions. This is no secret. Yet it is not
right.
And so, today, the publishers of dailies and
weeklies are trying to set things right—by rais-
ing the price of their papers to subscribers in
order that no heavier load will be placed on the
advertiser.
For the costs of publishing are going higher
every year. And this higher cost must be col-
lected .from sortie source.
We heli. ve that you are ready in your mind
to pay icoro for your weekly newspaper. You
kwnv fir: t in your Olin buying and 'selling prices
in scarcely anything rt:main "fixed" year after
year,- as has the price of your weekly paper.
•1• nn are paying more --very much !more—for
almost everything in common use.
We put it to you: Is it reasonable' that tine
old dollar rate of the country weekly remain
unchanged in the. light of the costs of other
manufactured products?
And iii the confidence that you will agree
'that it is absoiutely just to raise the subscript-
ion'price of The New Era, we announce that on
and after January i 5111, 195 8, the price of The
New Eva, will be
We are counting on you to fall into litre with
-the necessities of the situation, -and that you

After considerahle discussion a bylaw
was passed at lite meeting of the county
council last week which alters to a eon
stderable extent the method of carrying.
tut the scheme of highway improve-
ment decided' upon at the June session,
The cost of carrying out Ole improve-
me_nt is to be borate ata follows;—Each
township council is to submit at the be-
ginning of each year an estimate of the
work an tire' road system to be dons
in that township during the year, his
estimate to be prepared in conference
with the erninty engineer, The total
of such estimates shall be the total
amount raised and levied by the county
council in each year for road improve-•
meat, and a separate rate shall be rais-
ed and levied from trach municipality to
cover the cost of the work to be done
in that particular municipality.
Mr. Huber, of the Provincial High-
ways Department, was present•at Ole
council meeting and pointed out that
this Inethod to some extent was a de-
Ntrture front the Idea of co-operaion of
the various municipalities in a general
scheme for the itit.proventent of county
roads,
' • This bylaw was passed at the instance
of the members from the southern
townships, who claimed, that their bri-
dges were in a better condition than
those in the north and that it would
not be fair to snake thein pay equally
all over the county,
Messrs. Watson and Johnston, mem-
bers of he West Wawanosh council,
were heard by the council, 'rine com-
plained of the designation of the roads
in that township in connection wtih the
good roads system. No action was tak-
en by he council.
Mr. D. Patterson. county engineer,
was granted 5100 for extra servicer in
connection with the good roads project
this year.
Bylaws were passed confirming the
appointment of Mr. W. Lane as county
treasurer and Mr. Geo. W. Holman, of
Egmoudville, as county clerk. Mr. Hol-
man commences with the salary of $900
and will assume his new duties on Jan-
uary 1st. Alr. Lane as treasurer gets
the same salary as the late Treasurer
Holmes, namely, 51,500,
Mr, D. Patterson was named as
superinendeut of the county roads sys-
tem at 5800. His salary as road and
bridge commissioner will be fixed at
the January session, '
The following reports of committees
were received and adopted,
The executive committee recom-
mended it grants as follows; $1,000 00

mill on the dollar to the British Red
Cross fund (realizing about 521,2511);
$5,000 to the various Red Cross
Societies of the county. $15111 to the
Woman's War Auxiliary of the county.
No grant to the county poultry sltoty
was recommended. The conmiitte

tinue the grant of $8,000 per month
to the Canadian Patriotic Fund, The
application of Turnkey Knox for an
increase of $50 a year was granted, the
increase to commence January 1_st.
The spectra committee recommended
that an amount equal to the salary of
the late Dr. Holmes, county treasurer,
be paid to Mr, Wnl, Lane, County Clerk
forhis extra work during. the late
treasurer's illness; also that the request
of the South Huron Board 6r Agricul-
ture for the appointment of a, district
representative be left over to the Jan-
uary session.
The county property conunitte re-
ported on conditions at the gaol, the
registry office and the. court house, all
.being found in a satisfacory state, A
.new furnace has been installed at the
registry office and is giving good satis-
faction.

Berard a policeman on his heat
Say t0 a laborer on the the street
That he had a letter just last week
Written in the finest Greek
Front a Chinese .coolie. in Titnbuctou,
Who sats the negroes in Cuba knew
Of a colored trial in a Texas town,
Who got it straight from: a circus clown
That a maul in Klondike heard the news
From a gang of South American Jews
About somebody in Borneo,
Who heard a bran who claimed to know
Of a swell society female fakes,
Whose mother -in -lac' will undertake
To prove that her sr5venlh husband's
sister's niece
Flad stated in a printed piece,
That she had a son who has a friend
That knows when the war is going to
