If your subscription to The Standard is paid in advance, as all; newspaper subscriptions should be, v<>u can skip this article, for it may not interest you. It is necessary, however, that we have something on the follow ing line to say in every issue of The Standard thi month, for Dec. 1 will mark a radical change in the business policy of this paper. It is a change, by the way, which ought not to he necessary, for the policy to be adopted then is the one which should really have been in force from the beginning. The high price of paper is compelling us to do now what business orudence should have made us do all the time, and which would have made us far better off financially now. We have the satisfaction of knowing, of course, that we have been very accom modating to very many people — some of whom needed it and most of whom have appreciated it. Frankly, we have enjoyed doing business on the old basis of “one big family,” and would really like to continue it, but under existing conditions no paper can do so and live. Paper is now $1(50 a ton instead of the $56 we paid a year ago. Manv predict that it will go to S2OO a ton, and be hard to get at that. This means, of course, that pa pers have to increase scription price, a o(l those weekly papers that use any considerable quantity of paper are raising their prices from $1 to $1.50, or from $1 50 to s2,*as the rase muv be. In Florida papers have been wise enpugh to raise a Lon eg from $1 to $2, as tin-* Georgia pa pers will be forced to do if paper keeps fc-oing higher. Those who have not made settle me t by Dec. 1 may expect to have their nam-.-s stricken from the list and their accounts put out for collection. We are offering every possible inducement for the sub sciber who wants to “tote fair” to do so, and we certainly want to gel lid of those “on th * h at.” A man who tries to beat a news paper is no belter than any other kind of rascal, and the quicker such a fellow is put on the black list the better ii is for everybody.

European demand due to the war and the shortage in Ameri eanl crops unquestionably is re sponsible for some of the increase in the cost of living in this coun try, says the Sparta Ihmielite. but there »s ground for the suspicion that much of it is due to misman agement in distribution and to price manipulations of middlemen and speculators. President Wil son gav ■ a hint of this in his speech b fore the National Grange at Washington the other day when he said: ‘We ought to raise such big crops that circum st mce like the present can never recur, when memcan make it ap pear as if the supply was so short that the middleman could charge for it what he pleased.” Govern ment officials have underway searching investigations in to the retail cost of coal, the high price of wheat, milk, and print paper and the railroad car shortage, and we shall be disappointed if they do not result in legislative action that will prick Ihe bubble of ficti tious values and bring the prices of necessities down to figures jus tified by the law of supply and de maud.
