fat young gray squirrel, which had not
been killed more than an hour, tucked
away in the bag.
He Immediately placed the huntsman

The new edition of Rowell's American
Newspaper Directory brings out a re-
markable situation in Washington, D. C.,
In that out of four daily papers published
III that city only one paper has the cour-
age 10 furnish a detailed, swOrn-to circu-
lation statement for either one or more
years. The Washington Star. it seems, Is
the only Washington paper giving out
such statement of circulation. In fact.
The Star has done so for eight continuous
years. and fer five years of this time 1t1e
Star has shown an uninterrupted increase
in circulation yearly. Since the estap-
hsiment of the Sunday edition two years
ago. figures have been given of that, also'
and its publishers have repeatedly MADE
undisputed claims to have 1o.UO greater
local circulation than any other wash
ington Sunday newspaper.
The Washington Star is the only paper
in its city to be granted RoWelfs Goio
Marks. 1t is the only paper to carry
ROwell's Guaranteed Circulation emblem.
1t is the only Washington paper to be
granted newspaperdom Quality and
Quantity" mark. The three marks are
not carried by more than ten newspapers
throughout the entire country.
The Star in 1907 was 5000 copies daily.
The Sunday edition had over $4,000 each
issue. The first six months of the present
year show a splendid increase in The
Stars circulation, in spite of the fact that
some of the other papers are said to have
suffered a loss. In glancing over the
columns of Washington newspapers it is
Immediately apparent that all Of the
large department stores of Washington
spend the bulk of their advertising appro-
priation in The Evening Star. In fact,
1t must be patent to the most casual OBJ
server that The Star is the advertising
medium for all the local stores. In fact.
comparison of The Stars advertising
strength as compared with the other
Washington papers is almost odious. SO
predominately large is it's supremacy.
