PRINTERS INK, a periodical which
is supposed to be printed in the best
interests of the craft, says that can
examination of Rowell's American
Newspaper Directory for 1908 re-
veals the fact that the Beacon has a
higher circulation rating than is ac-
corded to any other paper in Great
Bend" When you remember that
the Beacon has not been in existance
since February, 1908, and that, when
it was published. it never at any time
had the circulation enjoyed by the
DEMOCRAT, the unreliability of some
so-called newspaper directories be-
comes more painfully prominent.
Printers Ink may not be responsible
for the greatly misleading statement,
but such things are inclined to shake
ones good opinion of the trade
