You can't Judge the value
OF a newspaper as an adj
vertising medium solely
by the number of page,
it prints. The newspa-
per with the m ost
pages is, more often
than not, the newspaper
with the smallest Cir
cu!ation.
Nowadays. pc o pie
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 advcr-
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.

Kansas City. Jan. 5.-The Port Arthur

O'Clock last night, was robbed before Il
had passed beyond the city limits Two
men, whom no one but the express messen
ger appears 10 have seen. climbed into the
express car a. the train left the depot
They oveTpowered the messenger, bound
and gagged him, and riled the car before
the train came TO a stop. When the train
slowed up at crossing known as ar Line
Junction. they climbed out Of the car and
disappeared. Nothing was known Of the
robbery until q negro train porter entered
the car and found the express messenger
helpless
Al the express eompany's Office here c.
r. Teas, the local manager. stated there
was not much Of value in the local safe.
and that 500 or $500 would probably
cover the companys loss. In police cir.

the robbers secured several thousand dol
lars in money and jewelry.
