READ THE TIMES

Exchange Arrangement of United

All That's Happening.

Through the enterprise and alertness
of the United press Association,
which organization furnishes The
Times with its unexcelled telegraphic
news service from all over the world,
coupled with the work of The Times
own competent corps OF correspond
ents, this newspaper is able to offer
It's readers what it considers the most
intelligent. promptest. and most accu-
rate report OF the days doings within
the state. To the careful organization
and swiftly growing service OF the
United Press in Michigan do The
Times readers owe the fact that they
have a discriminating digest of the
news gathered fOf the leading papers
or nearly every city in the state. on
the hour, or often before ii is publish
ed by them as we'll as the complete
report OF the worlds news carried over
the United Press wires.
The development of their state SER
vice mas been accomplished by the
United Press within the last three
months by putting into force an act
ual and active plan OF cooperation
among the papers served by 1t in
Michigan. The cooperative plan ex-
lists In other press associations, but II
has hardly been carried TO the point
to which il has by the United Press
in Michigan.
Each paper receiving the United

leased wire report of from 1000 70
$4,000 words daily, or curtailed ser
vice to suit the needs of smaller pa-

from where it Is sent out to any or all
United Press papers TO which ii would

For instance: Detroit being the me-
tropolis of the state, there is a great
amount OF local news that is OF i'm
portance to papers throughout Michi-
gan. The local bureau OF the United
Press and The Times cooperate in
furnishing them this news. On the
other hand. every other United Press
paper in the state co-operates with
the United Press I'm furnishing The

Among the papers served by the
United Press in Michigan outside OF
