A QUESTION OF EMs.-The papers OF
Southern Kansas are having q contention
as to which publishes the largest amount
of reading matter of any country paper
in the State. The Usage Chronicle
claims that it does, as it averages 3S. 600
ems per week. The Emporia News dis
putes the claim, and says that it gives
$4,000 ems per week. The Council
Grove Press enters the list, and asserts
that it averages from $4,000 to $4,000
per week. We are not in that fight, but
will merely remark that the Chief. for
many weeks past. has averaged &C. 900 ems
of reading matter per week. When we
say. reading matter, we do not. of course.
include any advertisements. If any pa
per iu the State, outside OF Leavenworth,
Lawrence or Atchison, thinks it gives
more, let it take measurement, and give
