The number of newspapers and maya
zines published in the United States aud
Dominion Of Canada has reached the enor-
NOUS figures of 1928, or an increase of
1,ll5 over the number of last year. AL
though the population Of the United States
is only twelve times larger than that of
Canada, the Americans publish nearly
twenty times more newspapers aud pcriodi-
Gals than Canadians. The total in the
United States is 1907 and in the Dominion
66G. These publications are classified as
follows; Dalies. 1,237 tri-weehlies 10;
semi weeklies, 1862; Sundays, 1870; weekIles,

indicate general increase in publications

especially among the weeklies. There has,
however, been no increase in the territories
of Oregon, Indiana and Wyoming, and none
in the provinces of British Columbia, New
Brunswick, Northwest territory, Prince Ed
ward Island and Newfoundland, where the
number remains the same, although the
changes have been numerous.
