Actually the people who pay for these ads are making more of a contribution to the war program than are those of us who simply buy bonds. For when a business man or newspaper publisher spends monpy to push the sale of bonds he doesn’t get his money back in ten years with interest nor does he get any other per sonal benefit from it. All he get§ is the satisfaction of having do nated some of his hard-earned money to a worth-while cause. afford to give away the steel for battleships. A nev/spaper publisher’s only "•tock in trade is his advertising space. When he gives that space away instead of charging money for it, he is making a real dol- lar-and-cents donation. And there are plenty of publishers who are practically being forced out of business because they are -iving t-o generously of that white space. MERCHANTS . . - citizens * The general procedure, when ‘he government has an advertise ment it v/ants to run, is to send a copy of it to each publisher. With the copy is a note from the interested government agency asking the publisher to try to find someone, or some group, to sponsor that advertisement . 5 n Washington’s Largest Fir Tree ih -| m* m GIFTS .... newspapers It is impossible to get any ac curate figures on just how many millions of dollars have been do nated to support government war; ^is neWspaper. advertising, but the total figure : since the newspaper thinks would be staggering. ! first of the merchants in his town A lot of us, when we see bond as advertisers, he usually takes it advertising, or war messages about to them to see if they are will rationing, scrap collections, tire i n g pay part of the cost.

The fir was 200 feet in height and was cut into 20-foot lengths, each about 10% feet ir diameter, weighing 35 tons. There is enough lumber in that tree, ex- nerts say, to build a half dozen houses. 4 a nickel for such advertising. It has all been contributed by nen and women who realize ruch campaigns are necessary and ire willing to pitch in and help f .iot the bill. Probably the greatest dor'' m of all has been made by ‘ ie newspaper publishers them 2S. At a recent newspaper me ig, it was estimated that the i ws- papers have so far donated Ap proximately $50,000,000 wort' of advertising space to the war ’ his is in addition to the ma > of stories and editorials, sen* to them by Washington, which -hey have published as news. It may be argued by those who don’t analyze the situation that newspapers can give this space a- way without it costing them any thing. But to a man who pub lishes a newspaper you might as well say that a steel company can be backed by all members of the community. For it is of jus', as “much concern to Mrs. Jones or Mrs. Smith that war bonds b'. sold as it is to the long-suffer- merchants. In some towns there have bocr organized Citizens’ War Advert is- ig committees which raise fundr to pay for these advertisement' and determine which ones are most essential to run in their communities. This seems the fairest way to spread the cost ol etting necessary war messages to he people. r s Chennault’s Sons' TO SKl.L ’EM, TELL h?= ’EM- Yv’iili A "i A •} Lieut. Col.
