Daily Standaul. In South America
the demand for paper has been In
creasing while at the same time, the
supplies used In its manufacture have
been decreased by war conditions.

from Sweden and Norway and some
time' ago Canada stopped access to her

to the manufacture of a newspaper
lias increased in price from 10 to .'10

you call on your pi inter and ask lur u
price on that Job you had printed a

Increased the price of smie about two
