HOOSIER NEWSPAPERS LAUDED

George Ade, chairman of the publicity committee of the Indiana state council of defense, pays a tribute to 'Hoosier newspapers In a letter which he has sent to all editors of Indiana papers on the eve of the disbanding the council. The letter says: "Each newspaper office in Indiana Is entitled to an honorable mention diploma, to hang right alongside the towel, where every one may see It. "The newspapers of Indiana were about the most effective volunteer* of our state during the crowded months of the great war. When print paper was almost as valuable as silk, and labor was our most expensive commodity, the newspapers gave freely, and more than freely, to the war campaigns all the space they could spare and then some. It should be known that editors are crowded for space nearly every ihsue and the only assets of a newspaper establishment are the printed columns. So, when the editors of Indians gave to the war activities more space than they could afford to give, It was as If a merchant had cleared his shelves or a banker had emptied his coffers. "The state council of defense and all of the national organizations to promote soldier welfare would nave remained dumb and Inert If the newspapers had not volunWered to carry the Important message to the people. "The Indiana state council of defense authorizes the chairman of the late publicity department to double-thank the editors and newspapers of our state for their enthusiastic help."
