The Omelette SOuffle
BY Herbert Kaufman.

There is vast distinction between dis
tribution for the sake of increasing the circu-
lation figures and distribution for the sake of
increasing the number of advertising responses
There is difference between street sales at
hours when the reader has but scant oppor-
tunity to look through the scare heads and
street sales when the reader is either going to
or returning from his home
There is difference between circula-
|tion which strikes the same reader several
times in the same day and the circulation which
does not repeat the individual There is a
difference between circulation which is con-
centrated into an area from whichevery reader
can be expected to come to your establishment
If you can interest him, and circulation that
spreads over half dozen states and shows its
greatest volume in territory so far from your
establishment that you can't get buyer out
of ten thousand readers.
You've got to weigh and measure all
these things when you weigh and measure
circulation figures. 1t isn't the number of
copies printed, but the number of copies sold
not the number of papers distributed, but the
number of papers distributed in near-enough
territory-not the number of readers reached,
but the number of readers who have the price
Ito buy what you want to sell-that determine
the value of circulation to you.
You can take single egg and whip it
into an omelette souff1e which seems to be
whole plateful, but the extra bulk is just hot
air and sugar-the change in form has not
changed the amount of egg substance-its
the substance in circulation, just as it is the
nutrition in the egg that counts

ROOM AT PREMIUM.
Immense Throng Enjoyed the Wild
West Show.

Col. William F. Cody's representations
of life among the cowboys, Indians and
rough riders Of the frontier, as presented
in his Wild West show, drew crowd
last night that put standing room in
side the large tents at a premium. De-
spite the fact that many hundreds were
forced to sit on the ground thousands
were packed on the seats. and it was a
happy and appreciative throng. and loud
cheers followed each spectacular event
Although approaching the allotted peri
cd of three score and ten years of his
life. Col. Cody is apparently as active as
of yore in the performance, and by his
shooting at glass balls thrown in the
air as he rides around the arena shows
the eyes of the former scout of the plains
are still clear and his hands steady.
The realism of several of the scenes is
a feature of the show. In one an immi-
grant train and troop of cowboys fol-
low a trail to spring in the center OF
the arena and there they stop. using their
hats as drinking cups. they and their
horses alternately drinking from them.
Bonfires are built and the party is about
to encamp for the night when Indians at
tack.
Another scene which pictures closely
frontier life shows an Indian camp, with
native dance and other traits OF tribal
life. This precedes the reproduction of
the battle of Summit Springs. during
which the United States troops, headed
by Scout Cody, fight the Indians under
Chief Tall Bull. rout the red men. kill
their leader and release two white wom-
en- whom the Indians had captured.
The foot ball game between Indians
and cowboys on horseback created much
interest. the ball used being about six
feet In diameter. While the hold-up of
the old stage coach. which has been
feature Of the Wild West show for many
years. is retained. a new thriller has
been added to present scene Of more
modern times. This Is the hold-up of a
train.
The usual acts Of broncho busting and
lassoing were features of the program
which won rounds of applause.

TWO MORE GOOD OIL
WELLS WERE STRUCK

Two more good oil wells have
been struck in the Florence oil terri.
tory In the last twenty. four hours.
Que IL by the United. situated near
the Florence. W Williamsburg wagon
road and the other by Philip Griffith.
This is Mr.. Grifith's twenty third
oil we'll and the oil WAS struck at a
depth Of 1856 feet. The showing for
q big producer is not the brightest,
because there il only 100 feet Of oil in
the hole. But No. i8 Of the Flor
ence OIL company. located on Santa Fe
avenue, had only twenty feet Of oil!
when it was put to pumping and the
we'll has proven to be one Of the best
producers Mr.. Gumaer has. So 1t
seems that the amount Of oil stand.
ing in the hole amounts to nothing as
far as permanency is concerned.
The United's we'll has better
showing and in this hole there ia
! 100 feet Of oil. The depth Of the
we'll is 1880 feet Both wells are to
be put to pumping Immediately and
1t is hoped the owners will have good
producers as the result of strikes.
Florence oil companies. especially
the United. have had very fair sue
cess in their ventures SO far this year.
and as result of the new strikes.
there is now plenty Of oil tor the re-
