As a result of the con- ference,it was decided that the dol- lar newspaper had to go and the probability is that at no distant date those papers that have not al- ready raised their price to $1.50 will do so. It is only those( who are in the business who can fully appreciate the difficulties of financing successfully with the ever-increasing cost of pro- duction. I-Iowever, the public, we feel sure, is prepared, .to meet us in this matter. All the dailies have gone up during the past year and, most of the weeklies in Ontario are already $1.50 per year. Indeed, of several occasions subscribers hoe of- fered $1.50 in payment for a year's sub, to The News -Record, thinking the price had already advanced, We have kept it at the old price, being loath to change it from the handy dollar bill, but the time is coming when this will have to be done. But we are convinced that our readers will agree that we are fully, ,justified in coating to this decision. AN OCTOBER WEDDING.

ONE OF P1111 CAUSES, A local business men the other day called the attentionf of The News - Record to an article in a Toronto ' weekly of recent date regarding the prevalence of the habit of, 'charging it" and laying a good' deal of the blame for the high cost of living upon this very, thing. The article stated that the dealers liked the customer who "charged it" as they were likely to buy much more than: if cash were handed out for every- thing when purchased, The local businessman agreed that the habit of charging goods was a very great con- tributing cause for the prevailing high prices but he stated that life for the local dealer would he mun15 simplified if cash were paid for goods as they were purchased, No doubt there 1s much truth ix this anal the probabilitp is that if the cash habit could be fernier] and adhered to botb dealer and purchaser: would benefit, SIXTY YEARS AGO AND NOW.
