A
Reader Appreciates The Paper.
To The Editor:
May / speak through your columns
IN the expression OF few OPINIONS
concerning the modern newspaper? l
others, have not sufficiently appre-
ciated the value Of the NEWSPAPER
one of the most wonderful Of modern
AS an illustration Of the develop
ment Of the publishing business, it
has been estimated that If Benjamin
Franklin should step up and take
charge of the Saturday Evening Post,
as it is now, bringing his facilities
with him, it would take bi.l 10 years
to print single weekly edition.
There would certainly be a lone
some and dissatisfied lot Of people in
this country if all the newspapers
were discontinued q few weeks for
some reason. cannot think of a
class of people, nor of individuals of
my acquaintance, who do not need
the newspapers. There is hardly a
person in the country who can read
who does not read the newspaper
these days and feel that it is almost
indispensable.
A few among the religious class
have in times past criticised the news
paper quite severely. However, even
they are coming more and more to
realize that the newspaper is an i'm
portant help in bible study. How
can that be? Because it records the
many events of this time which the
bible writer's predicted thousands of
years ago. Careful Bible students
can hardly read single copy of any
live paper now without reading of
happenings which are in direct fulfil
ment of Bible prophecies.
Those who feel like criticising the
modern newspaper should perhaps
realize that they are partly to blame
for the publication of so many fea-
lures which they consider objection
able. There is probably nothing the
average editor desires more than to
publish the things which will be in
teresting and uplifting to the readers
of his paper; but if his readers de-
mand "blood and thunder stories," and
all the details of every crime. and of
every demoralizing occurrence, the
editor must not be blamed too much
for publishing that class of reading.
If more good people would express to
editors and publishers their apprecia-
ton for the good and uplifting articles
which appear in their papers, the edi-
tors would doubtless find more room
for such articles and less for the other
kind.
But on the other hand, we should
not lay all the blame on the editors
and publishers If we waste our time
reading things which are CT no value
to us. We are expected to use our
own wisdom and, judgment in reading
only those things which we find help
full to us.
In this day when "of the making of
books there is no end" and when
there are more than $4,000 periodicals
published in this country, a knowledge
of what to read and how to read it is
of great value. Let US train our
selves in the choice of our reading
instead of trying to get the editors to
publish only that of which we APP
prove.
A Reader.

Again the government comes to
the people Of the country with the
request that they lend their money
and lend it upon a more liberal
scale than ever before. in order
that the great war for the rights
of America and the liberation of
the world may be prosecuted with
ever increasing vigor to a victor
ious conclusion. And it makes
the appeal with the greatest conf
dence because it knows that every
day it is becoming clearer and
clearer to thinking men throughout
the nation that the winning of the
war is an essential investment.
The money that is held back now
will be of little use or value if the
war is not won and the selfish mas
tiers of Germany are permitted to
dictate what America may and may
not do. Men in America, besides,
have from the first until now dedi-
Gated both their lives and their for
tunes to the vindication and main
tenance of the great principles and
objects for which our government
was set up. They will not fail
now to show the world for what

MEN WITH MINOR !. PHYSICAL DEFECTS
 ID BE EMPLOYED They Will Be Brought Into Service to Release Fight ers-Cr0wder Issues
 Order.

Washington, May 29.--Two hundred thousand men of draft age, who, be- cause of minor physical defects have been held by examining surgeons over the country for limited military serv- ice, arc to he employed in producing or handling equipment for the army, Provost Marshal General Crowder an- nounced tonight that the army staff corps will utilize the service of these registrants and thus release fighting men for the front line.
 General Crowder today issued the first call under the new plan Orders went forth to governors of states for upwards of 5000 men for sery- ice in spruse production for air planes. The men will be allowed to vol unteer until next June G. After that date they will be responsible to the pro- vost marshel general and if there are not sufficient volunteers allotments will be made to the various states to be filled by voluntary induction.
 Some 10000 men of the army now are engaged in getting out spruce timber in the northwest and the signal corps con stantly is increasing this number. Con- sequently, the sending of the new men to this field will constitute no new policy and it is understood that it has no rela- tion to complaints that Industrial Work CTS of the World there have retarded the output of spruce.
 Some 24 trades or classes. including railroad transport and construction men. offer workers and laborers. are desired for the spruce division. When this di- vision has been filled, men will be called to fill other staff service of the army until the 100000 total has been exhausted. No indication was given as to when the calls will be made.
 In a statement announcing the new plan. General Crowder said the solution of the question of what to do with these men had been "one of the great problems of the draft" Some of the men, it was explained have thumb. or toe or eye missing. but almost everyone of them is engaged in active business and thus were held to be of some use in the military esta blishment After months of study it was decided to call them into branches Of the army engaged in producing equipment for the fighting men
