ford to take the full leased wire re-
port.
The news pours into the office on
two wires from Chicago. This news
which comes from the most densely
populated centers of the country and
includes the governmental news froEn
Washington, foreign cable by way OF
New York-not inconsiderable in vol
ume since the war-news Of the mid
die west compiled at Chicago and
news of the western part of the United
States also rehandled at Chicago, is
augmented by the news that comes
into the office over what is known
as the Texas wire. which covers OKLA
hon1a, Texas, Arkansas and part or
Louisiana. Also there is added the
news that comes into the office over
the state circuit which covers Kansas
and western Missouri And still in adj
dition there is what is termed local
news that originates in Kansas CITY
To the editors desk all this news is
brought. His task is to pass judgment
carefully on the varied collection OF
items, to put one more important story
ahead of another of lesser Importance,
and to discard some stories because
they are of no importance in the ter
ritory. AS he judges his story and
prepares it for the wire, he passes 1t
over to an operator who sends 1t out.
In each of the nineteen cities, which
telegraph operator copying what the
Kansas City man sends. Ordinarily
the receiving operator is located IN the
newspaper office. AS we'll as receiving
news on the wire happenings from
each point in the territory are sent. In
each city, if the place is not large
enough to have an exclusive staff a
man who is an editor of the mem ber-
paper acts as correspondent and sends
in all stories which are of general in
terest.
This process of assembling. assert
ing, and re-editing the news goes on at
bureau points in all parts of the
United States. News judgment is the
filing editors most valuable asset An
item that is of interest in one part of
the country may be of no value to
newspaper readers in another. For
instance a story of interest to the fish
ing industry might be received in KAN
sas City. sent from the Atlantic coast
by way of New York and Chicago. To
Galveston and Gulf coast points where
the fishing industry is of considerable
importance this particular item would
be of value and it would be forwarded
from Kansas City promptly on the
wire reaching those points. On an
other wire serving a circuit in Kansas
towns, where the fishing industry is
about as important as is the wheat
threshing industry in the arctic re-
gionS the story would be of so little
value that it would be cut down by
an editor to a very few words, if sent

Ltd, the British possessions of this
continent The unceasing energy re-
quired to transmit every important
item that happens in every corner of
the world every day is almost incom-
prehensible, and for that reason per-
haps few people really understand the
workings of the organization. Sys-
tenn, efficiency, and unflinching 10y
atty of every employee of the organ
ization and every member paper
make this possible.
Into Four Divisions.
In the United States the Associated
Press is cut into four divisions. The
Eastern division takes in all that part
of the United States east of the Ohio
and roughly speaking, north of the
old Mason and Dixon line. New York
is the eastern division headquarters.
The central division extends from
Pittsburg to Denver and from ST Paul
down to the Mexican border of Texas,
taking in Oklahoma, Arkansas and a
portion of Louisiana. Chicago is
headquarters. The southern division
lies south of the eastern and central
and runs from the Atlantic coast to
the Mississippi. The headquarters are
at Washington. The western division
takes in the entire western part of the
country, beginning with Colorado and
takes in Ell Paso. Texas, and the i'm
mediate territory San Francisco is
headquarters.
In each division there is superin-
tendent who governs the handling of
the news. There is also a traffic
chief who looks after the actual tele-
graphing end of the work, governing
the operators and seeing that the tele-
graph companies keep the lines in
Press does not own any wires, all the
wires used for carrying news to all
parts of the country being leased
There are numerous branches in each
division and over these a correspond
ent one who looks after the news in
his immediate district, is in charge
Two Departments.
The working organization of the As
ISOLATED Press is divided into two
parasitic editorial and traffic de-
partments. In the editorial depart
ment trained newspaper men assemble
and edit the news and then turn 1t
over to trained telegraph operators in
the traffic department who do their
part in transmitting each item. While
working together, the news men and
the operators are in distinct depart
ments, as are the editors and printers
of a newspaper
Work in This Office.
A description of the work done in
the Kansas City office might well
serve as typical of the systematic oper-
alton of the Associated Press. The
staff of the office is in charge OF
U. L. Mccall, who for many years has
been connected with the Kansas City
bureau. He carries the title of cor
respondent. With him are eight edi-
tors. comprising the night and day
stats. There is a force of fourteen
telegraph operators under a traffic
chief and also there are office boys
and telephone readers, young men who

You Can't Brush Or
Wash Out Dandruff

The only sure way to get rid of
dandruff is to dissolve it, then you de-
stroy it entirely. To do this, get about
four ounces of ordinary liquid arvon;
apply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
if in gently with the finger tips
Do this tonight, and by morning,
most if not all, of your dandruff will
be gone, and three or four more ap-
plications will completely dissolve and
entirely destroy every single sign and
trace of it, no matter how much dand-
ruff you may have
You will find, too, that all itching
and digging of the scalp will stop at
once, and your hair will be fluffy, -lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and look
and feel a hundred times better
You can get liquid arvon at any
drug store. 1t is inexpensive and
never fails to do the work--Adver-
tisement.

ANTI-BoozE LAW NO GooD?.
Kansas Legislature Took Penalty Out
of Act, Says Judge Sparks.

Kansas Legislature Took Penalty Out
of Act, Says Judge Sparks.
Stockton, Kan, May 16.-In the
district court here Judge Sparks de-
cided that the Kansas statutes did not
prescribe any penalty for giving liquor
to a minor.
1t seems that the law making this
act crime and prescribing a penalty
for the same was passed by the legis-
lature of 1885, and the crime pre-
scribed in one section and the penalty
in another. Then the legislature of
1909 repealed the section which pre-
scribed the penalty.
The court announced that he very
much regretted the condition, as he
was personally in favor of every law
restricting the handling of intoxicating
liquors, and that he hoped the matter
would be speedily submitted to the
supreme court, so that if his ruling
was upheld, the legislature of 1917
would take the matter in hand and
give us such law as would properly
punish such offenders

EACH COMMA COST DOLLAR
Significant Attempt at Accuracy
Significant Attempt at Accuracy
in War News
Tremendous Expense in "Cov-
ering" European Conflict.

Manhattan. Kan, May 16.-E. w.
Wingart. correspondent for the Asso-
ciated Press in charge of the Iopeka
office, spoke in most interesting
manner before the students of the de-
partment of journalism of the Kansas
State Agricultural college here this
morning. Wfngart brought out the
plan of organization of this great news
gathering body and related many OF
the accomplishments of the past.
It was noted in the speech that the
Associated Press paid one dollar for
each comma flashed by wireless in
the speech of Chancellor Won Beth
mann Hollweg in the German reich
stag. This carried out the Associated
Press sense of accuracy.
Mr.. Wingart said in part:
20 many people the Associated
Press-a cooperative organization for
the collection and interchange of news
with greater economy and efficiency
of Intelligence for publication IN the
newspapers of its mem bers-lS con-
sidered merely as a newspaper. To
the layman there is little difference
between the Associated Press and the
newspaper of his town, but l need not
tell you that the functions of news
paper and the functions of the ASso-
ciated Press are entirely separate.
Three fundamental aims of a newspa-
per are: To inform, to influence, to
entertain its readers. The Associated
Press has but one aim-to inform
newspapers of world news and to do it
accurately, quickly, and adequately in
a non-partiSon, non-political and nom
sectarian manner. The organization is
a composite of 90S newspapers in the
United States, lis foreign correspond
ents, eleven foreign bureaus and an
affiliation with the great news gather
ing organizations in Europe
The scope of the Associated Press
extends throughout the United States,
Alaska, Hawaiian Islands, the Philip
pines. the islands of the Caribbean
sea, Mexico. the Central American
states. all foreign countries, and by an
exchange with the Canadian Press.

lola, Kan, May 16.-General Obre-

according to Charles F. Scott, who
has Just returned from a visit of sew

General Funston regards Obregon as

pointed out Mr.. Scott
"Along the border there is a gen.
