REE AI ERTISING SPACE FOR
THE (GOVERNMENT
The Herald has given hundreds of
dollars worth of free advertising
space to the government within the
!at three years without much com
plaint but when a "publicity direct
or" gets to rubbing it in as is done
in the following letter it strikes the
Herald as a pretty good time to quit
the giime. The matter offered for
"free" publication In payment for
other free publication of advertising
matter, it may be said, is also public
ity matter for the sale of thrift
stamps and should be paid for.
Following is the letter referred to
together with the Herald's reply:
San Francisco, March 23, 1920.
To the Editor:
"Attached is a column of 'half
humorous' comment which we thot
might fill a need and which we will
try to supply to you regularly every
wefk il' you want it, free of charge.
Frankly, it is an attempt to compen
sate you for the publication of gov
ernment thrift copy.
"It will be supplied to you exclus
ively in your cily or town if you want
it. We do not want to waste our
time, your patience, and paper if you
find it unavailable. Won't you
therefore, let us have a post card in
dicating your wishes?
"As you know, the large city dail
ies are nearly all paying fancy prices
for similar columns and find it re
munerative. While this is only a
humble thing in comparison with
Arthur Brisbane of the Hearst pa
pers and B. L. T. of the Chicago
Tribune syndicate, yet it is designed
to fill the same hole for the weeklies
in the twelfth federal reserve district
which those incomparable paragraph
ers fill for the great dailies. Natur
ally, it won't get up to their standard,
but it will be as good as we can make
it. We hope that you can see fit to
make it a regular feature, employing
it as a column rather than as filler,
and letting it run in full.
"Won't you let us know immediate
ly if you want it?
"Faithfully,
"FRANK J. CARMODY,

Orgfanization."

RELATIONS YOU
umn of "half humorous" comment
which you "thought might fill a
need." in this office and which you
are good enough to suggest that we
make a regular feature, '.'employing
it as a column rather than as a filler,
and letting it run in full." we wish
to express such appreciation as may
oe appropriate.
We also wish to express our grati
tude that you will try to supply this
service regularly and that you will
aiso try to supply it free of charee.
It would indeed be unfortunate for
the country newspaper publisher,
when we consider the present high
price of print paper and labor, sugar
and other tood stuffs, not to mention
income and other forms of war tax.
if the War Loan Organization should
decide to charge regular space rates
for the copy furnished for the free
advertising they desire to have pub
lished. Frankly, we tremble at the
prospect; it forbodes disaster not' to
say ruin.
In contemplating your generous of
fer, which you frankly say is an at
tempt to compensate us for the pub
lication of Government Thrift copy
we are almost overcome with emo
tion. Compensation by the govern
ment for any sort of service rendered
by the country newspapers Is such an
unheard of thing as to be almost un
believable; too great an innovation
to be accepted without due and care
ful consideration. In fact, to accept
compensation such as you offer we
fear would reflect on our patriotism
if not on our sanity,
If you will permit us to also specie
frankly, we will say thtvt, to us this
is about the most feeble effort at
"comr-onpation" that has yet come to
eiir attention. It is not unlike offer

WORK SHOE..
Several prominent citizens of
Heppner who are known to be in
touch with local civic needs have re
ceived letters this week asking them
to represent the University of Ore
gon in their locality. They will se
cure data for the records of the state
wide survey as to mental defect, de
linquency, and dependency which the
legislature requested at its last ses
sion when it passed a concurrent
resolution asking for this information
so as to be able to have accurate fig
ures on the subject as a basis for in
telligent legislation in the future. At
the request of the Extensioa Division
of the University, the U. S. Public
Health Service is co-operating with
the state and has sent Dr. Chester L.
Carlisle from Washington, D. C, to
Oregon to take charge of the work as
director. The headquarters of the
survey is the office of the Extension
Division of the University of Oregon
at Eugene, to which all correspond
ence should be addressed.
The citizens of Heppner who have
received letters requesting their as
sistance in this importanat subject
are: Mayor R. J. Vaughan, Rev,
Father Cantwell, Judge Wm. T.
Campbell,.. Mrs. Lulu Johnson, Dr. C.
C. Chick, Dr. A. D. McMurdo, Mrs.
Lena Snell Shurte, S. A. Pattison,
Vawter Crawford, Spencer Crawofrd.
Anyone having information con
cerning such cases should communi
cate with someone mentioned above,
preferably with the headquarters of
fice at Eugene as most of the local
people above mentioned have some
sort of troubles of their own and a
saving cf time and postage can be ef
fected by addressing headquarters.
