You can't Judge the value
OF a newspaper as an ad-
vertising medium solely
by the number Of pages
it prints. The newspa-
per with the m st
pages is, more often
than not, the newspaper
with the smallest cir
cuIation.
Nowadays, people
like to have the News Of
the Day served briskly
and crisply. They want
to find all the news in
their newspaper, b Ut
they don't want to wade
through a lot of bluff to
get at the real meat.
Nowadays the adver-
tiser doesn't accept the
average circulation state
ment without doing a
little probing on his own
account. The returns
he gets from his adver-
tisements tell him all he
wants TO know about cir
culation.

their ships commenced TO sink, and the
great clouds of smoke pouring from their

than a mile away and ran them on the
beach and rocks. where their des ruction
was soon completed. The officers and

War Seems to Have Had No Serious
Effect Upon Business.
r. G. Dun & Co.'S Weekly Review oil
Trade says:
THE usual half-yearly statement Of
failures by branches of business is
peculiarly interesting because 1t shows
caused increase in commercial disas-
tiers. The fiscal year has ended with
financial results shade beyond gen.
eral expectations. and the new war tax
begins to increase revenue, not seri
ously disturbing business in any line
No reason yet appears to apprehen6
that the war revenue will fall below
