 For the thirty-frst time a compre- hsusivs review of the newspaper and magazine field is presented by this publication. To the publishers of this country and to those having dealings with them this work is most useful. The facts and figures pertaining to each publication are presented in a condensed and get-at-able form.
 The Annual and Directory is now the only publication of it's kind which is compiled from information gathered each year from original sources. MT. George F. Powell was the first to com pile such . work, and for forty years he issued the American Newspaper Directory in the interest of publishers and advertisers. Following his death, the Directory. with its records, copy rights and property, was sold to N. w. AyVr & Son, who combined it with their own work
 As heretofore. special attention has circulation figures. Where satisfactory s3gned or sworn statements have been made these figures are presented; oth- <rwise the editor of the Annual has est1nnatsd the circulation from the f1cts ct his command
 Supplementary to the general oata- 1oRus are lists of daily papers, maga- xfnes. women's publications, mail order qualifications, agricultural and religious paDerx, together with groupings of D~blicafions pertaining to various oaasses and trades. As an illustration of ths up-to-date character of this sec ton. we notice a list of publications devoted Co aoronautics, also one show tng thoBe which deal with the manu- mature and exhibition of moving pie

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Babes in the Woods"

MT. Editor: We have had so. many reverses in connection with the water question that it is getting little too prosy; and therefore there ought to be, perhaps, something at this time a lit tie different, to get us, if possible, "out of the woods Wednesday night.
 Babes in the woods like something cheery in the form of a lullaby and a little more oratory from the brightest little fellow in the graduating class, who spoke his piece at the City hall re- gently with much acceptance.
 We ought to get ''out of the woods" soon; for we've sat down on the water board, useless artesian wells we've bored we've dosed with lime Mohegan lake and broken jugs our thirst to slake, and damned Trading Cove; now let us brook our vote and soon dam Stony brook.
 Ho! now for lime for Wednesday night, and let us do our damming right. We're not out of the woods!" one thinks: that's why we owl so loud for drinks!

Mir. Editor: trust you will find space in the columns of The Bulletin | for me to say a few things regarding what believe to be for our common good as citizens of this Rose of New | England
 l Sink or swim, survive or perish" 1 some among Us seem to be grievously 1 afflicted with the germ which may be l called water-bug, and notwithstanding 1 the indebtedness of over one million | ($I000,000) dollars that like a terrible | incubus rests upon us, are bound, if | possible, to saddle on to us more than 1 S3OO,000 for the privilege of carrying 1 through their pet scheme, matched out l in 1902, and called the Stony brook reservoir. As a taxpayer, and not as a politician, it is my profound convic- ton that we now have all the water system this city will really need for a generation to come.
 With the addition that our new plant at Trading cove brook is able to sup ply, there is no necessity of going to the extra expense of $300,000 at the present time. and especially before we have made any trial whatever of our new acquisition at Trading cove brook. If we had no debt resting upon us, it
 might be the case that we could afford to let those who wish to dig in the mud at Stony brook to exercise themselves. l But in view of our present financial cllddliOH AdNC IO IlCCltdtlOI WIdl- ever in saying that all such planning. before we have made "a fair trial of Trading cove brook is not in accord with good sound business principles, and is not acording to the desire for economy which should find a place in the minds and hearts of those elected to serve the best interests of this city. I say, Let us vote it down.
 Respectfully submitted for the con- sideration of our voters.
 L. w.. FRINK. P. S.-Should the time ever come when more water will be needed be- yond what our present reservoir and Trading cove brook can furnish, am !! told by those who know that Bowen's s ! brook, at the north of us, can be turn ed into Bog meadow for almost noth- ing-and if that is not enough, what is the matter with our artesian wells? Can't we lay "A or 30 inch pipe line to those and deluge the highest parts of Lanman's Hill and flush out our jail if necessary? Just think! Sela;h.
