BoNA-FIDE CIRCULATION.

A reference to the statement be-
low will show that the circulation
sworn to is a bona fde one.
1t Is easily possible for a news
paper with an elastic conscience to
swell its legitimate circulation enor-
mousIy, in order to deceive adver-
tisers, by sending out thousands Of
papers to newsstands. which are re-
turnable, and which are IN fact re-
turned. but nevertheless are in
cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers. however.
judge by results, and bogus circula-
tions don't give them.
The family circulation of The Star
Is many thousands In excess OF any
other Washington paper.

General Wood intends to make his
