In similar way he notes and interprets
many other items and thus proves that an
alert mind may find the news column lad

The significance of news varies with the
character of the reader. A housekeeper,
broker, laborer, a schoolmaster, even
social idler, each has particular interest.
Yet all of them, even the poorest, survive
only as the nation is economically stable.
The factors and conditions that threaten
or promote economic stability must he
met and dealt with. That is possible only
as economic news is readily and constantly
available, not annually as by government
statistics, but daily and hourly. In that
sense the economic significance of news is
fundamental, and it is generally available
only through one channel-the newspaper.

Sometimes the significance of news will

Incidentally, it is interesting to note the
way in which business men are able to get
suggestions from newspaper items that

to them. For example, in a recent article,
a bonding salesman explains his method of
