Publicity Demands on Newspapers

Never before i'll the history of
the world were such enormous de-
mands for free publicity made up
on the newspapers of the country.
With only two exceptions, each
one of these demands is for one to
two columns of space every day,
and the impossibility Of weekly
newspaper complying with them
may be judged from the following
list, from all of which the aggre-
gate amount received by The Her
aid every week is so great that
the editor cannot even read half of
it,
Two recruiting branches of the
navy;
The fuel administration;
The food administration;
War work fund of the army and
navy Y. M. G. A;
The federal shipping board
seeking men for the merchant ma
rine;
The war savings stamps cam
paign;
The federal and state agricul-
tural departments on food pro-
duction and conservation;
Agricultural news service of the
University of Florida;
Red Cross activities both local,
national and foreign;
Weekly digest of war news from
the war department;
Bulletins Of the state health
board;
Bulletins of the state plant
board;
Meetings and objects of numer-
Gus civic and religious organiza-
tons;
Clifford Pinchot's arguments for
government ownership and con-
troll of the country's water power;
Bulletins of the federal bureau
of mines and mining;
Bulletins from the federal for
estry service;
w. G. t. U. prohibition cam
paign;
Lutheran Church war work
campaign;
Col. j. A. Graham s drive for
Red Cross workers in this district.
The above list enumerateS only
half the causes seeking free pub
icity.
The Herald does all it can to
give each and every one of these
interests showing in its columns,
for all are meritorious and de-
serve public encouragement and
support, but, being a little country
weekly, it is physically impossible
for it to publish one-tenth of the
matter sent to it.
If the authorities would only "a
! dept the suggestion of The Herald,
they could place all of this impor-
: tant literature in the hands of the
people Of the country and not be
dependent upon the little weekly
newspapers for the publicity need.
| ed. The suggestion is this:
) The federal government should
, print fifty to a hundred million
copies of semi-weekly newspaper
: large enough to contain all infor.
, nation that it is desirable to give
; on all subjects whatsoever and di.
: vide these between the states in
: proportion to population or regis.
! tered vote. Send each state s pro
rata to some official at each state
capital and have that official mail

Most Of the coming issue Of Liber-
