v.,.. Of As,.,,is.ns ss.e..

The value of advertising space in
newspapers or magazines is based
upon two essential factors, class and
number of readers and typographi-
cal excellence. Without the latter
good showing Of the former is
hard to obtain. Artistic printed
matter especially in the form OF a
journal appeals to every one but it
makes no difference how good the
reading matter, if it is poorly made
up of obsolete tyye carelessly thrown
together. shabbily printed. it at
tracts little or no attention.
Some of the larger advertisers
spend fortunes for space in nigh
class publications. For instance. a
single page in one issue OF the Chi
cago News" costs Sll3l 90; in the
New York American" $3.50 90. in
the New York Herald. ''s69S. y: in
Golfers Weekly" $1,000. 90; in the
Saturday Evening Post" $3.50 90:
in the "Delineator. $500 90: in the
"Woman's Home Companion. -
$500 90: in the Youths Compan-
ion" S2IOO. 90: in the Ladies' Home
Journal. a" SiOcO.Oo. Notwithstanding
the high prices charged no publisher
can guarantee anything in the way
of returns.
Since this space is So valuable
neither the publisher who demands
these high prices nor the advertiser
who pays them can afford to permit
the use of uninteresting matter,
shoddy composition or worn and OBJ
soIete type faces. Indeed. if the ad-
vertiser is to get value for his money
every line must be made effective,
not by the use of many words but
by making each one express the
meaning and purpose OF the adyer-
tiser. Indifference upon the part
Of the publisher in this respect,
shows any observing advertiser who
is not attracted by the advertise
ments Of others. that if he buys
such space other readers. like him
self. will not be interested. Similar
indifference upon the part Of the ad-
vertiser must be attributed TO his
inability to understand or appreci-
ate the real value of advertising,
otherwise his own interest would
compel him to demand better pre-
sentiment of his selling arguments.

Grand Victory for Dan Cupid.

Unable to live without the woman
who had been his wife, j. A. Somers
of La Junta went to her. pleaded
his cause for reconciliation and the
elimination came Thursday when
the couple was reunited in marriage
by County Judge Frank G.. Mirick.
Mrs. Somers secured divorce
from her husband in August of 1907
at La Junta. MIR. Somers was heart
broken, and admitting that he was
at fault went to the woman who had
resorted to the courts for freedom
and so well did he state his case
that she consented to again become
his wife. The couple was so happy
Thursday over being united again
that they freely told the story and
went to the court house for mar
riage license. Pueblo Chieftain

From American and Foreign Ports,

The total shipments of coal from
Newport News to ports in the West
Indies and around the Caribbean Sea
during the month of February ending
yesterday, aggregated 36,472 tons,
valued at S1O0,942. Considering the
delays in loading vessels at the Ches.
apeake & Ohio coal piers during the
month, accustomed by frequent severe
storms, this is a comparatively large
monthly output, although not quite as
great as the total of the shipments in
January.
Three steamers, the Egda. Nordkyn
and Lille, are now in port for full
cargoes of coal to be transported to
foreign ports and eight or ten more
vessels are expected TO load here
