Macon didn’t have time to get lonesome without tl\e soldiers un til along came the State Fair to liven things up. Just about every one of the 152 counties in Georgia has had a fair this fall. The county fair is a great institution. National election, Georgia Pro ducts Dav, Thanksgiving, city election, Christmas—something doing all the time.

SOME TRUST i (Macon News) The president of the International Paper Company, Mr. P. T. Dodge, gives out an interview in which he uses this language: “The contract price of paper for 1917, which has not yet been fixed, will not be less than three cents at the mill.” This means either that many publishers will have to make tremendous increas es in the price of subscriptions and advertising or some of them will have to go out of business. It may be fortunate that f:he In ternational Paper Company does not control the entire supply, says the Louisville Courier-Journal, though this company is ‘‘some trust” and does furnish paper to a very large number of the publishers of this country. It remains to be seen whether other companies will follow the example of the International. In this connection a note whidh appears in one of the metro politan newspapers in the commercial news is rather significant, as also the tremendous advance within the last few months of the quotations of the common stock of the International Paper Com pany. The note is as follows: “The International Paper Company has advanced the price of news print to be delivered in 1917 S2O per ton, the greatest and most spectacular advance in news print ever ordered. The nrice advance means about $12,000,000 additional gross income, by far the larger proportion of which should be represented in net.” The common stock of the International Paper Company in the early part of 1916 was quoted at about ten or twelve dollars per share. It is now quoted between forty and fifty dollars per share. Our idea of a plutocrat is a South Georgia farmer who has a few bales of Sea Island cotton with the price ranging around 40 cents. The boll weevil can’t be frozen, poisoned or scared to death. There is only one way to kill the varmint and that is bv starving him. The State Fair in Macon is a great educational fair. Every body ought to take a day off and attend this big exposition of the state’s resources and possibilities. Satisfy!— that’s anew thing for a cigarette to do It’s nothing for a cigarette to just taste good—lots of cigarettes may do that. But Chesterfields do more—they satisfy! Just like a thick, juicy steak satisfies when you’re hungry. Yet, with all that, Chesterfields are MILD ! No other cigarette can give you this new enjoyment (satisfy, yet mild), for the good reason that no cigarette ► maker can copy the Chesterfield blend —an entirely new combination of tobaccos and the most important develop ment in cigarette blending in 20 years. , Gar. “Vive me a package of those cigarettes that SATISFY”!
