NEVER BEFORE have people turned to news
~ papers SO eagerly, trustingly, hungrily,
and in such large numbers for all the ncwe,
for full reports, for complete details,
Total war, into which this country was forced
SO suddenly, has added immeasurably to the
responsibility of American newspapers...a re-
sponsibility they have been quick to meet, re-
gardless of the cost and the effort.
1t is two-fold responsibility.
Aresponsbility, first, to the public. to keep
it fully informed in these critical days, to bring
it the vital news of the day, completely, accu-
rately and quickly.
A responsibility to advertisers, too...to give
them the best means of telling their story, pre-
senting their merchandise and services to the
public 70here and cohen it will do the most good
In fulfilling this responsibility, newspapers are
serving not only manufacturers and retailers
who have things to ll...they are also serving
the millions of readers who must continue to

In newspapers the advertising is news, too...
more SO today than ever before. In newspapers
the advertising is received as a welcome, help
service. That is why, as The Continuing Study
of Newspaper Reading shows, people read the
ads as we'll as the news SO thoroughly.
And the Study shows that big news, war
news, increases the reading of newspaper ads.
that when big news breaks, the advertiser can
count on even closer attention to his message by
even more people than in normal times.

II, Is a human, dynamo, says Mrs.
Rust. Once when Mrs. Derby had
such a successful day at the Vic
tory Booth in the Mayflower
Hotel that she ran out Of things
to sell before luncheon-Mrs. AID
rich filled her bicycle basket with
articles from headquarters and
cycled down to the Mayflower
with them in less time than it
would take most people to cross
the street.
The AWvS Victory Shop in
New York was first started by
Mrs. William Woodward, and it
was her friend, Mrs. Robert Nc
Kay, who was primarily respon-
sible for getting 1t here in WASH
ington. Mrs. Mckay does almost
all the ordering Of articles for it
still-through Mrs. Woodward.
The money raised from these
sales goes into the general AWvs
fund.
Other shops may Complain Of
sales falling OF during the sum-
mer months-but the Victory
Booth seems to 20 ahead full
tilt. Perhaps the best customers,
say the workers, are businessmen
who drop into the Mayflower for
luncheon-want to take their
wives and daughters presents
when they return to their homes
and find the attractive booth
f1ned with AL sorts Of useful nov
elites. A convenient and easy way
OF shopping, esbecially when
there's = lovely lady to help them
choose!

Mrs. Pearsons Rust is getting
to be a super-saleswoman. As
head Of the Victory Booth for
AWVS she handles daily sales Of
compacts, cigarette cases, over
night bags, bicycle baskets, purses,
flashlight pencils and other mer-
chandise that would do credit to
any commercial shop. The other
day, when she ran out of wrap
ping paper she sent a somewhat
surprised male customer of with
gifts for the ladies of his family
stuffed into two large knitting
bags. She had, OF course, made
him buy the knitting bags, too
just SO he'd have some way Of
getting the other parcels home!
She even mas her mind on her
work after hours. The other
evening at her own house at
dinner, Mrs. Alfons Landa re-
marked that she was taking the
midnight train to New York
and that if she only had a small
overnight bag she wouldn't have
to lug her larger one-the pres
ent scarcity Of porters being what
1t Is. Quick as flash, Mrs. Rust
left the small party, rushed to
the, AWvs headquarters and
brought back one Of their good
looking overnight bags, which
she sold to Mrs. Landa!
On the theory that charm has
q good bit to do with good sales
manship, Mrs. Rust has chosen
for her helpers such attractive
ladies as Mrs. Delos Emmons,
wife Of the commander Of the
Hawaiian Department OF the
Army; Mrs. Xxi" Aldrich, whose
husband plays center for the
Redskins: Mrs. Nelson Perrin, Mrs.
Eugene Carusi. Mrs. Angler B.

Noyes Lewis, Countess La
soka-and . lot OF others. Mrs.

workers and is still one Of the

Spruce Trees Are Memorial
To Lives of Two Montanans

Twenty-one hundred spruce trees
are growing on the plains and hills
of southeastern Montana as a me-
mortal to two late residents Of the
area who played a major part in the
formation and promotion Of the
Southeastern Montana Counties asso-
citation.
These two men, Joseph D. Seaman
and L. J. Onstad, during their lives
were active in urging the far-reaching
benefits to be derived from the con-
servaticn of surplus runoff waters.
The planting of the trees is a major
step in this type of water conserva-
ton.
The planting of these spruce trees
as memorial to the two men has
been brought about through the CO.
operative efforts of the southeastern
association and the forest service.
Several years ago, E. B. Winter,
then secretary of the S. E. M. C. A,
proposed to his fellow members a me-
mortal planting of spruce trees in the
Browning chief. [volume] (Browning, Mont.) 1941-1953, 1942-08-07
Crested Wheat Grass Proves
Value in Recovery of Land

Results of tests in the spacing of
crested wheat drill rows and the re-
suits of reseeding cactus-infested and
overgrazed sod, conducted by the ex-
tension service and the soil conser-
walton service at Malta, emphasize the
Importance Of this grass in the recov-
cry of abandoned crop land.
In December, 1885, study was in
stituted by the extension service and
the soil conservation service on a 100
acre abandoned field southwest of
Malta. Six plots were seeded at right
angles to the prevailing winds, the
drill rows spaced at intervals from
one foot to nine feet. At the time
the seeding was done the field was
covered with Russian thistles, mustard,
blue lettuce and other weeds.
For two or three years there was
little success due to drouth, but in 1899
a fair stand was obtained which, each
year, has improved.
Conclusions drawn from this test are
that % crested wheat will lie in dry
soil several years before terminating;
co quicker recovery of abandoned
fields may be realized with closer
spacing of drill rows; 90 comparable
