Remarkable Service

A remarkable step forward in the
history of the "Oldest Paper in North
Dakota" will be made Monday.
Beginning on Monday, June IL, The
Bismarck Tribune will receive the
full leased wire service of The Asso-
ciated Press, the great cooperative
news-gathering association. Hereto
fore the Tribune has received a limit
ed report of this service.
This means that every day the news
of the world will come into the Trl-
bune office over special. leased
telegraph wire, operated by expert
telegraphers, bringing the news OF
tn world. It means that Bismarck
will get the same extended telegraph
reports that are now received by
newspapers in cities ten times the
size of Bismarck and the same ser.
vice as the Grand Forks Herald and
Fargo Forum in North Dakota. 1t
means that complete report Of the
worlds history for one day will be
given to the people in Bismarck and
Bismarck territory IL to "a hours be-
fore it is given to them in any other
newspaper. It means that correspond
ents of the Associated Press in every
city of consequence in America and
correspondents stationed at various
cities over the entire world will be
writing news for The Tribune.
History of Organization
The Associated Press is coopera-
tive, mutual organization Of individ-
uals, each representing morning,
evening or Sunday newspaper. On,
June /, 1922 the membership totalled
nearly 1900. The association has no
capital stock, declares no dividends
and does not sell it's products. 1t is
non-partisan, non-sectarian and serves
no special interests. It's member pa
pers represent every shade Of poll
tical, economic and religious thought
and to satisfy this diversity of in
terest there is onlv one feasible me-
thod of handling controversial news
by stating only the truth and by
opening it's facilities to both sides of
a controversy.
For it's more important service the
association operates about 10000
miles of leased wires extending all
over the United States. At 70 of the
principal cities of the country are
maintained bureaus Of staff men to
select from the news that comes over
the leased wires the items that are OF
particular interest to adjacent cities:
The number of words received and
transmitted at each Of the more i'm
portant offices averages more than
10000 in "a hours. The most expert
telegraphers that can be obtained or
trained are concerned in keeping this
great volume of news moving and
their efforts are now being supple!
mented by automatic printing tele-
graph machines which. watched close
ly by experts in electrical mechanics,
and with their impulses controlled
by combinations of holes punched in
tape, grind out in an almost un-
canny way report that can be NOV
ed at a speed nearly fifty percent
greater than that attained by the
best Morse operators.
Sole Product is News
The sole product Of this great or
ganization is news. 1t comes in all ITS
ramifications of politics, statecraft,
wars, peace, economics, industry,
business, trade, social order and pro-
gress, religious thought and action,
crime, sports, the records of govern
ments, public and semi-public or
ganizations or the actions of individ--
uals, either those who have gained
eminence by achievement or who flash
out of obscurity by some startlingly
unusual act.
And whether the events occur in
the United States, or in it's outlying
possessions in Canada, Mexico, Cen
trail America, South America, Europe,
Asia, Africa or the islands of the
seven seas, record of them comes
swiftly by telephone, telegraph, wire
less or cable to the newspapers whose
business it is to put the reports in
type that he who runs may read, and
reading know the truth of the items
because they are "By the Associated
Press"
