UNCLE SAM LIKES TO
KNOW WHAT PAPERS SAY

washtngton, Sept. S.--Uncie Sam
is one of the best customers the news
paper clipping bureaus have. Nearly
every branch OF the government SER
vice is subscriber to one or more
clipping bureaus, aid. in addition, the
newly created Offices, such, as the
food administration. the shipping
board. council of national defense
and the provost marshal-general
subscribe to the leading daflies of
the country. from which they clip
matter pertaining to their particular
departments.
Since the entry of the United States
into the great world war thousands
of columns OF matter has been printed
/ in the newspapers. weeklies, agricul-
tural papers. trade papers, religious
press, as we'll as the magazines, about
fthe activities of the various branches
/ of the government service.
! From the time when the selective
! draft law was first proposed and I'M
/ Ill IL was enacted by congress, there
J was voluminous comment on the sub
| iect When the actual drawing took
/ place thousands Of columns OF news
! paper space were devoted to the mat
| ter. and since then the numerous
trulings OF Provost Marshall General
! r-royter nave heeu widely punished
All this matter has been carefully
clipped and classified under different
headings. forming wonderful his
/ tory of the selective draft law.
! Herbert Hoover's activities with the
! food problem have likewise furnished
/ much copy for the newspapers. and
consequently the clipping bureaus
gained another good customer. Like
wise the Goethals- Denman contro-
versy about wooden ships was fully
! aired in the newspapers with the re-
suit that thousands OF clippings found
their wav into the files of the ship
/ ping board
/ Cabinet officers also like to keep In
/ touch with what the newspapers say
! about their departmental activities.
/ and each one maintains clipping
service.
