Paper Shortage Can't Keep Beaumont Enterprise
and Greenville Record from Good Thing.
The Beaumont Enterprise was induced to adopt
Music has induced two more newspapers to inaug-
urate music pages. One is the Beaumont, Tex., En-
terprise, a prominent daily, owned and edited by
W. P. Hobby, governor of the state.
The other is the Greenville, Ky., Record, a weekly
edited by Orien L. Roark, who is also a music dealer
in Greenville. Mr. Roark wrote to the National
Bureau in his capacity as editor of the Record, as
follows:
''The Booklet, 'The Progressive Newspaper and
the Democratic Music Movement,' which you kindly
sent me, is very inspiring. While we have always
given considerable prominence to music, we have
not had a department; but are desirous of so doing
and ask that you place the Record on your mailing
list for the service you supply. And we shall be glad
to have a two-column and also a three-column head
for use in this connection. We will use every effort
to make the department snappy, with your help."
Writing as a music dealer, Mr. Roark said he had
read a copy of "Music in Industry" sent him by the
bureau, and added: "I will go to work on this
along the lines you suggest and shall be glad to avail
myself of your proffered aid on this and other things
as they develop."
The eBaumont Enterprise was induced to adopt
the music feature by the Pierce-Goodel! Piano Co.,
in co-operation with the bureau.

RAILROAD FARES.
At a hearing before the state utilities commission
in Chicago July 7, an attempt was made by the rail-
roads to have the 3-cent-per-mile passenger fares
continued in effect in Illinois after September 1,
when the roads emerge from, all government con-
trol. The state authorities contended that after the
date named the 2-cent-per-mile statute automatically
becomes effective. During the war all passenger
fares throughout the country, intrastate as well as
interstate, were advanced to an average of 3 cents
per mile. The railroad attorneys endeavored to
convince the utilities commission that the Esch-
Cummins law continues the present rates until
changed by a new law. New tariffs quoting 2 cents
per mile have been ordered by the state board and
it is this ruling the carriers are protesting. Tariffs
to become effective September 1 must be filed before
August 1.

The poMcy of the Williams House is and always
has been to depend upon excellence of product
instead of alluring price. Such a policy does not
attract bargain hunters. It does, however, win the
hearty approval and support of a very desirable
anjd substantial patronage.
