LAWSON COMES TO THE RESCUE OF PUBLISHERS

Chicago, May 27.—Victor F. Lawson, publisher of the Chicago Daily News, has released 100 tons of news print to be distributed to smaller newspapers in need of supplies which are reported to face suspension if immediate assistance is not given, it was announced today. A number of newspapers are without mill connections, according to J L. Fearing, western manager of the International Paper Company, who said that the action -of Mr. Lawson and other large publishers in releasing part of their tonnage at the request of the International Paper company, George H. Mead company and other concerns, had saved more than fifty daily news-

papers from suspension. Mr. Fearing who asked Mr. Lawson to release the tonnage, said he found him anxious to co-operate in the plan for newspaper relief. At Mt. Lawson’s request, the paper will be distributed by Mr. Fearing, who said that this action as well as that of other large publishers had already had a softening effect on the “spot” market, and that there were indications of an early _ adjustment of the news print situa-

tion, . - Mr. Fearing stated that so far as possible, distribution of the paper would be effected through the committee on news print supply. „ Misses Lillian Oglesby and Martha Taylor, of Gary returned to their homes in Gary this afternoon, after a few days visit here with friends. Miss Monta Oglesby will remain for a few more days’ visit with her relatives. . / , Just think of it! In these days of H. C . L. you can buy your choice of several dozen boys’ suits at 17.98 at Rowles 4k Parker’s. Mrs. Seott-Hilliard arid daughter went to Van Woort, Ohio, today to visit her parents. * ’
