DEAD-IEADS IN NEwSpAPERs.-Itis is we'll
said by Forncy's Progress that in propor-
ton to the expense involved in its prcpara-
ton no article is so chcaply supplied us the
newspaper. It's cost to its readers is as near
nothing rs it could be, and to make Il living
profit to its owners it must look elsewhere
for II revenue than to its subscription list.
That in many establishments is il positive
loss, regarded by itself, hut the circulation
attracts the advertiser. who gives the sncws
ofwar. To get the advertiser you must first
get the circulation, you must give the people
Il paper that will interest and please them
Every line which Il Newspaper publishes for
any other reason than that its editor thinks it
contains something the people wish to know
is more or less al injury to him, because it
occupies space which otherwise would be
filled with matter which would aid in build
ing up or retaining the popularity of his
journal. TO this must be added the cost of
putting the puff i'll type, and the other
outlay it requires. The wise newspaper
proprietor limits the number of columns to
which he will admit advertisements. or in
creases his columns to accommodate rush,
knowing that to crowd the reading matter,
though it may temporarily make happy the
heart OF his cashier, n cans speedy and per-
manent ruin. Yet there is not newspaper
in the country which does not give away in
the course of the year many columns of its
valuable spacc--a trite, but true expression.
