. JIt would take a special edition
, qfvery day to publish all the free
"paMicity matter that finds its way
it& any newspaper office. Even to
read all of it would take up all the
icutor'allinie ;tad leave no, time fori
other wprk. Ot course most of it finds
, its , way into the wastepaper basket.
Igiich of it is prepared by people who
eem to be laboring under the inr
Jpression that the editor has been
hanging around the postoff ice for
irnite a spell waiting for some kind
. ' publicity expert to send him enough
to fill up the paper. So it is to re-
. joice that in deciding to put on a
much-needed campaign to prom&te a
Iive at home" policy Governor Mor
rison picked out a roan to handle
tje publicity end who knows ( how to
Bay what ought to be said and uit,
a man who realizes that the entire
burden of filling up the issue of the
, paper in which his article is to cp-
-pear does not devolve upon his single
. effort. Mr. John Paul Lucas has a
.keen appreciation of the eternal fit-j
Jiess of things and the stuff he sends
out will be- welcomed in this office
and will be well worth reading.
