No mention is made of Uncle Sans
Dest-known periodical--the Congress
slonal Record-that much-abused but
much-sought-after daily, for the reason
that extended comment here with re.
spect to the Record is unnecessary
SO well known is 1t everywhere.
Uncle Sans journalistic force is or.
gained pretty much like that of any
paper the product of private enter
prise 1t comprises editors, editorial
writer's, technical experts, telegraph

men cover pretty much the whole
heid, as Uncle Sam sees its. and their
talents touch upon matters of poll
tics, business, international and do
nestle trade conditions, social move
ments, inventions. and many other
subjects.
OF the daily publications perhaps
the largest circulation is enjoyed by
the Daily Weather Map, which de-
rives its news" from every part of
the country through Geographic serv-
Ice, and which is scattered broadcast
TO thousands of persons whose bust
ness or interests are affected by the
weather. The Daily Weather Map
employs some 1000 correspondents
Another daily of the same general
character is the Snow and Ice Bulle. !
TN, which is issued by the navy de- |
partment. This publication is much |
appreciated at the great ports of the |
country and is especially favored by
ofhcers in the operating departments
of big railway systems.
Inc most popular publication turned |
out by the department of agriculture |
Is the Crop Reporter. the news dis. |
pensed by which is not only eagerly |
awaited in rural communities but nv |
as well. The greatest pre-
cautions are taken by the officials of
the department OF agriculture to see
that no information to be printed in
the Crop Reporter leaks out before
the paper goes to press. Not satisfied
with this daily chronicling of crop
conditions, the department of agri.
culture also issues the Weekly Crop
Bulletin during the summer. embody-
ing the usual summary of crop and
weather conditions together with tele-
graphic information from every crop-
raising state of conditions at the hour
81 going to press.

thousands of postal employees but to
many others as well, such as railway
