BECAUSE Of the shortage Of
Dcwsprint paper the Recruiting Bur

discontinued issueing its weekly quota
of articles, which it has been asking
the newspapers to publish witrout
charge, and in the future Will buy
space insofar as it can afford. THIS
is an excellent plan and one ever2
ncwspaperman in the country will be
interested in. +" n eight to sixteen
columns Of matter comes daily
through the mails to this office and
every line Of it seeks publicati n with
out charge. Newspapers have only
limited space thcse days. The scar
city Of n%ewsprint forces publications.
to publish as few pages as possible.
This crowds the news and advertis-
ing sections until only those items
which are of real Importance can be
used. The newspapers are glad to pub
ilshm items Of local interest but where
me article is Of no special news va.ua
it should be made as short as possible.
The general public is slow to realize
the conditions in the newspaper bus
mess along this line and for tha5
reason we are calling attention 70
this fact.

at the regular luncheon held in the

While this exhibit, which will also

and it is particularly desired that
they will show their interest in the

There are to be exhibits of corn,
poultry and sewing and stock SUI
veys made by the different schools in
their respective communities. Five

schools in the county acquaintng
them with the requirements for ELI
trance in the contests, according to
