NEWS-TIMES POWER

Does it pay TO advertise in The
South Bend News Times?
Saturday The Times car
ried a. story telling of the number
of pocketbooks found by patrolmen
and taken 10 police headquarters
during the past four years.
Early Saturday morning, after
the morning edition had been deliv-
cred. persons began calling at the
police station TO see if they were
the possessors of one Of the purses
the police had found and were add
ing TO their collection of pocket
books.
The stream Of callers continued
until late last evening and by 10
o'clock only four of the pocketbooks
remained. The owners of many Of
them had been found through the
story in The News-Times.

THANKS Us FOR COUNCIL.

South Bend, Ind. Jan. 3. 1918.
Editor News-Times:
/ cannot refrain from expressing
10 you the gratitude and apprecia-
ton of the entire retiring council
for the kind words in your Saturday
issue. We appreciate it to know
that there is someone at least who
feels that way We really did not
expect il. having almost become ac-
Customed to be called such epithets
as "bone-heads." etc. We didn't
think that at the end we would be
"patted on our backs" No sane
person can deny but that the press
is the moulder of public opinion and
if a newspaper constantly hammers
away on its own view on a certain
matter the reading public will grad
ually be converted to the same opin-
ion. even though that opinion be
radically wrong. and that is why
we (the cOunciD were surprised and
gratified after having been dubbed
"bone-heads" and held up before
the public as having been absolute
failure by a certain organ (not the
News-Times), we would surely be
ingrates if we did not give cog
nizance to your words of apprecia-
ton
OF course We have made mistakes.
1t would be rank egotism on our
part TO think otherwise, but We do
think and have a right to think that
We have averaged up in returning
the talents that have been entrusted
TO US.
Very respectfully,
HERMAN T. LANG.

TRACT SYSTEM
BEFORE BOARD
(From Fridays daily.)

At the January session of the Sank
county board of supervisors, the Tract
index system appeared for full hear
ing. The committee appointed at the
November session made a report on
Thursday, and the matter was made a
special order of business this morning.
The three abstracters of the county
were present to oppose the matter. Ii
the county adopted the system their
business would be ruined. During the
discussion Lieutenant Governor E. F.
Dithmar and Charles H. Stone became
quite personal over the publicity cam
paign INDUCED in a few months ago.
1t was finally decided to obtain al es-
innate of the cost before taking defin-
tie action. 1t is reported that the
system is working very satisfactorily
in other counties and greatly reduces
the cost when an index (abstract) is
desired.
Reports of the county officers were
received.
Supervisor Andrews moved to re-
consider the resolution of Supervisor
Quinn, adopted at the last meeting,
providing for the payment of interest
on road funds of towns in the county
treasury. Motion lost.
The bond of Edwin M. Doll, the
new treasurer, was accepted.
The request Of the board of county
judges was tabled. This request was
to pay the expenses of the county
Judge to state meeting of judges.
