Ordinarilly it takes about eight tons of coal per day for this season of the year, but during the present spell of zero weather it has taken considerably more than this. Fortunately they have had no difficulty in receiving sufficient coal on their ’contract to keep the fires burning, but have not been able to accumulate any surplus. The Winamac Republican has announced an increase of 50 cents per year in its subscription price, owing to the tremendous advance in the cost of print paper and all printing materials. As an example of the advance in price of print paper, a ton of paper—about the amount The Democrat uses each month—on The Democrat’s old contract, which expired last ‘August, cost us about $53 f. o. b.
