So varied-and u <!ex are the activities and influences of a ||| newKi l „ ) )er, one would otherwise be lost in an intricate R and confusing maze. As the market place of the com- K munity, functioning through its advertising columns, ■ ♦he newspaper produces economic results that are fairly H obvious and easy to identify—such as convenience and time-saving for the buying public, the stimulation of h| trade locally and nationally, the lowering of prices and Pi increasing of profits. Likewise, the influence of those dis- M tinct sections or departments of the newspaper, devoted W to the news of commerce, finance, industry and trans- Ü portation, are not difficult to trace. Q But what of those other columns in which the reader finds the gen- I «aï news of the day ? 11 may be the simple notice of a birth, a wedding « or a death, or it may be the news of some devastating calamity such as B a flood or a conflagration. It may be an "Act of God" or an Act of I Congress. But whatever its subject may be, scarcely an item appears « which fails to stir into instant life the business or professional activity L of some individual or millions of people. --Æ For instance, the day's pap« may contain a cable dispatch about « the League of Nations, and next to it one from Washington, in which O Bart ot tto Manhattan 0«, N.

The significance of news varies with th* character of the reader, A housekeeper, s broker, a laborer, a schoolmaster, even a social idler, each has a 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 be 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. {N**t artùU t "A Unifying Foret."') to ( 1 1 » > n it rr t ntiiiinmiiiMiinni Mr. and Mrs. L.
