MONITOR TAKES EXCEP-
TONS.
Statement Made in Last Barton Landing
Edition of Express and Standard
Regarding Quantity of Locals
Published Misleading.

The last issue of the Signal con-
tanned the following statement over the
signature of D. w. Hiidreth of New
port, publisher, in long appeal to
the people of Barton Landing to sup
port the Signal: ''The signal fur
nishes more general reading, more To-
Gals, more state news, more editorials
and exchanges. than all the . other
smaller county papers put together. :"
The Monitor never intends to whine,
has no desire to pick scrap with Mr..
Hildreth, and will make no comment
on any other part of the appeal re-
ferred to, but in self defense must
challenge part of this statement as
unfair, unjust and untrue.
We admit cheerfully that the Ex-
press and Standard, and Signal, pub
fishes more general reading, more
editorial and more exchange clippings
than the Monitor, but when it comes
to locals the Monitor is and has for
years published more locals and state
news than any other county paper,
and in quantity of local matter ranks
one of the first in the state.
To prove our statement we publish
below comprehensive statement of
the number of inches of locals pub
lshed in both papers for the past four
weeks. In this measurement we have
made no allowance for advertising
appearing in the local matter of the
Signal, while the Monitor has none,
