ADNURES NDEPENDFNCF.

Editor Times: - OF the
many reasons why I take The News
Times there are three principal ones.
First. in its independence concerning
politics. I admire a newspaper that
takes a definite, conscientious stand
in politics regardless Of outside in
auence; a newspaper that stands for
the right man, principle or enter
prise regardless Of party.
Second, The News-Times is the
most progressive paper in this or
any surrounding locality, repeatedly
taking the initiative in enterprises
for a bigger and better South Bend.
Such a newspaper should have the
support of all loyal South Blenders.
Last. and of more personal nature,
7 like a morning paper when l am
alert and fresh, for IL is then that
one reads with intelligent under
standing and lasting impressions.
Then. too, the morning paper adds
greatly to the flavor of my break
fast: grape nuts taste better If I'm
gazing at Barney Google and his
sweet woman. And it's well to start
the day with the newest develop
ment Of the Irish Question and be
well prepared to discuss Lloyd
Georges latest form Of Home Rule
with your friends.
1 read the entire paper with en-
joyment. but the thing I like best in
The News-Times Is the display ad-
vertisements I read the movie ads
expectantly, watching for my favor
tie stars in their latest productions
and making mental notes Of the ones
] can not miss. But the dry goods
ads are my favorites. l am a bar
gamer by nature. can not express
how much satisfaction Il gives me
10 compare Qualities and prices Of
goods advertised by the various mer-
chants and discover where my dollar
is worth a dollar and a half. 1 es-
pecially like the illustrated ready-to-
wear cuts Of feminine apparel. The
designs are attractive and can be

FAIR To EVERYONE.

Editor News-Tlmes :-Why do
take the News-Times? First, because
1 consider il the best newspaper in
South Bend. IL is not any one Of
the features mentioned but all Of
them as whole compare very favor
ably with any newspaper in the coun-
try. The Sunday paper is especially
interesting and full Of information.
The one thing 1 like best about
this paper is it IS usually fair 10
every one, no matter what station
In life they may occupy. While I
don't always agree on everything it
comes as near being fair on most
questions Of Importance as any pa
per. It seems at times the society
news might be improved upon by re-
porting what is done by the differ
ent charities such as the Children's
Aid Society, Visiting Nurses, Day
Nursery and others. as there are
many people who are interested in
these institutions and have no other
way OF keeping informed.
Very sincerely yours,

BEACON light OF JOURNALISM.

EdlLOr NeWS-Tlu eS.-If a person
90 years ago had been asked such a
question why do you like a certain
publication" this reply would have
been much easier than today. But
why? Because early publications
contained only such news as births
weddings. funerals and tho local
town gossip.
Times have changed, the pre-re-
quisites Of a newspaper today must
meet the demands Of all classes OF
people; from the university trained
mind 70 those whose opportunities
have been limited.
For the following reasons 7 like
the News-Times:
G.)-It is progressive. II - the
Beacon Light Of modern journal
ism in Northern Indiana and South
ern Michigan.
(2D-The enterprise back Of the
News-Times gives it distinction. It
stands for high ideals-which is
essential 10 any newspaper. Its Or
ganization is not afraid to spend a
few extra dollars in order to broad
en- the scope Of its paper-thus per-
meating for good those who read its
columns.
(3.)-The most valuable asset Of
modern Journalism IS its medium Of
advertising. That is one strong fea-
ture OF The News-Times Ii brings
to its readers early in the day the
special attraction which the mer-
chants OF the city have to ocer to
its readers.
May I suggest that the Sunday
edition of July nth is greatly i'm
proved because its society news is
altogether and not scattered as
heretofore.
In any article of 900 words It is
impossible 10 enumerate the many
good features Of The News-Times
for in every department of this pa
per, editorially, locally, and through
the current news of the hour, the
reader finds everything which they
might desire from any modern news
paper.
Yours for a still better News
Times.

FAIR AND ACCURATE.

Editor News imes:-For over
four years I have regarded the
News Times as the" newspaper,
and although may not be in po-
sition TO know many newspapers. I
know a good one when 1 see It and
can well appreciate it's value.
The News Times Is an all round
newsy newspaper, very interesting,
open. fair. and accurate, and that Is
the reason that we take the News
Times II has an excellent morn
ing and afternoon edition and It's
Sunday paper II entertaining as well
as complete, and 81 IS not at all sur
prlsing that II should have such an
extensive circulation and stand in
such high public esteem.
What like best about the News
Times is its exceptionally good local
news. and that is one good reason
why every local resident at least
should take the News-Tirnes. The 10
cal news cannot be improved, IL is
all that a newspaper could wish for,
which shows that its reporters are
Tive wires" when It comes to re-
porting. always on the alert for any
occurrence worth printing. Whether
4 be a great wreck or the latest fad
in hair-dressing you can rely on The
Nsws-Times for complete details in
the quickest possible time.
As TO the improvement OF the pa
per I cannot answer that question,
as I honestly believe that It needs
no improvement. To my knowledge
It's the most sensible paper in the
west, and for my part l find IL alb
solutely satisfactory in every way.
have frequently heard in con-
versation the expression. "Why don't
you get the News-Times? That's a
good paper"
1t is fairly obvious that the credit
for the output OF such a paper be
longs TO the newspaper staff as a
whole. 1t is a staff that is intelli-
gent, discriminating, and efficient.
They know their business and are
producing the desired results.

HONORABLE MENTION.


Editor Ncws-Times.-The reason
we like the News-Times better than
any other paper is because 70 IS al
ways Johnny on the spot with
the local news. and gives real inter-
estins news accurate in every de-
tail For instance, the news about
the South Bend boy drowning at
Baron Lake was found the next day
IN the News-Times only. and the des-
cription OF the drowning and rescue
ing was told IN a true and accurate
way TO every point. I have been at
Baron Lake at the time OF the near
tragedy so have seen how 1t all
happened. I have always noticed
that the News-TLmes Is always TIE
winner in the race 20 be the first
with the local as well as telegraphfc
news This plainly shows what a
good paper we have.
Although I give credit &c the
News-Tt-nes for being always on the
lookout for interesting news still
would make a big mistake II would
forget TO praise the paper for the
interesting departments Il contains

2.-The syndicated news articles
the comics and the features appeal

3.-The advertising columns are
