BRAZIL PAPERS MERGE TO DEFEAT HIGH COSTS

Brazil, Ind., Jan. 23.—A consolidation was affected here today between the Brazil Daily News and Weekly Democrat and the Brasil Daily Times. Beginning February 1 these three papers will be published at the Times plant and the city will have but one daily paper. Ralph H. Plumb, editor of the News and Democrat will occupy a similar position with the combined papers. Increased cost of news print and dificulty of getting competent workmen is given as the reason for ths consolidation.
