THREE DAILY PAPERS SUSPEND PUBLICATION

Winnipeg, Jan. 16.—Because of the shortage of newsprint, the three daily papers in this city announced today that they would suspend publication tomorrow. The three editorial staffs will unite in issuing a one-page paper containng only the most important news, which will be mailed to country postoffices and placed on bulletin boards there. It is reported that the Lafayette Morning Journal is to discontinue the morning issue next week and the evening edition only will be published. The Joural recently purchased the Courier, the evening paper, and merged it with the Journal, which then put out two editions daily, a morning and evening one. The announcement that the morning edition is to be discontinued has aroused. considerable citizens of Lafayette, and there is already talk of a new paper there, which will probably end in tallc The new condition has been brought about by the high cost of paper, labor and other items entering into the cost of publishing a paper and it is doubtful if two papers will longer pay in Lafayette. • ‘ i ■ ■ ■■ l.
