The Leader desires to notify its pat k, rons that it is absolutely necessary to , advance prices on printed stationery. Everything in its line ,ias advanced from 60 to 100 per cent and its prices have not been advanced over 2,5 per F cent. News and poster paper have, advanced 100 per cent. Bonds, which S90 days ago cost 7 cents per pound, are now advanced to from 11 to 13, 10' to 12 cent bonds now sell from 18 to 20 cents. All qualities of ink have also advanced. Under these circumstances of no reasonable man can expect the n- printshop to adhere to former prices. Stock has been steadily advancing tot five years and yet the Leader has heretofore made no advances. Even in the last 30 days prices have advanced and drummers say they have not reached the limit. The Leader's prices have never bee~n , exorbitant-the fact that it has not, i, gotten rich proves that-but we must n have a living price and that means enough to pay our debts. The advance in paper is in line with every other commodity. Some things, w cannot now be bought for what they sold for even last year. In some in - stances these advances are justifiable, e in many cases not. But the consumer Sis helpless in either case. Certainly, d the Leader is powerless in regard to its commodities- West Point (Miss) s Leader, July, 1916. SBUSINESS NOTICE. Under the constant advance of pa per stock, inks and all printing ma terlal, the Chronicle job department has hesitated to advance prices hoping ' that costs would readjust themselves before our reserse stock was exhaust ed, but we are disappointed. Prices h have continued to advance and the I market is still uncertain. Recently I we have bought shipments of station ery for our job department which cost us from twenty-five to more than one hundred per cent advance, and to t cover these advances we are compelle.: to raise the price of job printing. This 1 raise will not be proportionately as great as the increased cost of paper, t etc., for the reason that we are still 1' able to take care of the mechanical end of production without greatly in creased cost.--Fayetteville Chronicle t Deputy Sheriff A. R. Rateliff went v to Rosedale, Miss., this week for a 1 negro by name of Duke Taylor, r charged with murder. Taylor killed ~ another negro by name of Geo Bell, 1 on Lake St. Joseph about four years U ago, and has since been at large. ti Since the above was written Mr. it Ratcliff has returned but did not bring the prisoner with him, as he became satisfied after seeing the negro that. he was not the man wanted.

L. B, BXAUBIEY, P .," U The Rodney and Waterproof base ball teams played the third of a series of games at St. Joseph on Thursday, and which unlike the first two games, reenlted in victory for Waterproof, the score standing 8to 4. The heavy rains of the several preceeding days made the diamond very wet and soggy and interferred very much with the playing and which prevented both teams from doing their best. The Rodney line-up wae as follows: Catchers Scott harden, J. H. Toler. Pitcher J. I). Wade. First base t'. F. Miller. Second base- J. F. Pape. Third base J.E. Middleton. Right field- Henry Spencer. Center field Dalton Harold. Left field- Nonie Piazza. Short stop-J.. Toler. Substitue George Smith. The Waterproof line up was as fol lows: Catcher- )r. J. M. (lorton. Pitcher Paul Caldwell. First base Will Mlartien. Second base E. I). ('oleman. Third base-Arthur Rhodes. Right feli--Fred Richardson. Center field- John (Giglo. Left field-Norman Martien. Short Stop- Mike Fuca. We understand the fourth game of I the series will be played here next Thursday, 17th inst., to be followed by a big dance to be given at the Masonic Hall. The Rodney boys will bring their magnificent string band with them and the occasion will be one of unusual delight. In all probability the rains will have ceased ere that date and the roads will be in good condition and the attendance should be great. No. 666 will cure Malaria or Bilious ,.ever.

The train employes on all the railroads are voting whether they will give their leaders authority to tie up the commerce of the country to enforce their demands for a 100 ' million dollar wage increase. The railroads are in the public service--' your service. This army of employes is in the public service--your service. You pay for rail transportation 3 billion dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every dollar from you goes to the employes. On all the Western railroads in 1915, seventy-five per cernt of the train employes earned these wages (lowest, highest and average of all) as shown by the pay rolls Pa.samer Fw~sgb YTrd Raye Aie..

The managers of the railroads, as trustees for the public, have no right to place this burden on the cost of transportation to you without a clear mandate from a public tri bunal speaking for you. The railroads have proposed the settle ment of this controversy either under the existing national arbitration law, or by refer ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis sion. This offer has been refused by the employes' representatives. Shall a nation-wide strike or an investigation under the Gov ernment determine this issue?
