PAY INC THE PRICE
The first of the year when
we raised the subscription
price of the New Era from
the old rut of SI.00 a year
and put it in the class with
real newspapers, both in
price and quality, some of
the long-faced variety of
peasiminta of the burg (there
are only a few) pulled their
chin whiskers, spat on the
ridewalk, and said: "You
can never get it; the people
wont pay it, and you'll lose
all of your subscribers."
Being of a natural opto
mistic mind, we stood pat,
and have [woven to our en-
tire sati-ifaction that our
faith in the intelligent da.-
of people in and about Dav-
enport was well placed.
An advance of 50 * on the
subscription price of a pap* r
is smail compared with the
advance of 100 to 800 in
the cost of materials. Any
busing tnat is a losing
proposition cannot long er.-
dure, and a newspaper
should be patronized in ac-
cordance with the efforts
put forth by it to atnfy the
readers
It is our aim to keep the
New Era up to the $1.50
standard we have set, and
we are sure our reasonable
and appreciative readers will
stand by us, even if some of
the store keepers do get
"cold feet" and quit. The
New Era family is one that

A Davetipivrt merchant,
jftaductirg or.e of the larg-
est twinemw i in town, has
quit advertising in the New
Era becaaa^ he has to do-
nate SO MUCH to the Red
Cross; besides, he says:
■'Advertising in the New
Era is just like donating to
charity." As far as we are
concerned, such an creature
as this can keep his D
charity. We don't have to
beg for a living.
The American Spirit
One good old time prac-
, tice that is being restored to
favor these da>s is the
"swapping" of work by the
farmers. This brings about
a more neighborly spirit and
more unity in the country,
and recalls the old saying:
"Scratch my back and I'll
£cratch yours."

High Standard savea money
row and next tiir.e.
It saves money "now" because a
gallon covers more surface than
a gallon of cheaper paint. Yon
vail need fewer gallons of HIGH
STANDARD. It spreads easier
enabling your painter to do a
better Job In less time.
It saves money "next time" be-
cause high standard is a
long-wearing paint. You don't
need to paint so often. And
when after years of service it has
gradually worn away, it leaves a
good surface for repainting. Thia
means saving of time and , ma-
