About Circulation

II you we're to go into II grocery
store and the grocer sold you eighteen
pounds OF sugar for dollar, and then
you went across the street and his
competitor sold you sixteen pounds
for the same sum, which grocery do
you think you would patronize the
next time your better half told you
the sugar was out? Wouldn't you
naturally go to the place where you
got the most for your money?
The same line Of reasoning that ap-
plies In the above instance applies In
all transactions, particularly when a
merchant Is buying advertizing space
10 a newspaper. The paper that has
the largest circulation naturally and
Inevitably has the most readers and
therefore will give the advertiser the
the biggest run for his money. On
this point the New Era wants to state
without any fear OF contradiction,
that II has the largest circulation In
this section, ard every week mails
more papers to actual, bona fde, paid
iu'duNhuCe SuDsSIIoeIs Ouhu duy opuCi
paper In this county, and Is willing to
have any interested party examine Its
list In substantiati0n OF this claim.
In view OF this irrefutable fact,
space 10 the New Era Is Of course of
higher value than is that in any
other advertiZing medium In Crowley
county, and it therefore invites your
patronage, Mr.. Advertiser. on the
strict business basis OF value rendered
for money received, and not on the
plea that a newspaper is quasi. public
entGrprise and therefore worthy OF
Support" SO called. We do not desire
or ask that sort OF patronage. We be.
lieve we render dollars worth Of
service for every dollar that Is paid
into this Office for advertising or job
work. We appreciate fully the busi.
! ness that has come to us In the past
and invite continuance OF the same.

BILE you and that would pervert the
Gospel Of Christ; let him be

When we remember that there is but
one Lord. one Faith, one Baptism pre-
scented In the Bible, we are astounded
to find many faiths, many gospels"
presented by many denominations, all
bearing the name of Christ.
Although the Apostle was one of the
pioneers Of the Church, even in his
day the brethren in Galatia had turned
away to perverted Message. No
wonder, then, that the true Gospel had
become almost buried under human ira
dltlon!

Galatians Perverted Gospel Prevalent
Today.
The perverted Gospel which the Ga.
latians were disposed to accept is very
prevalent today, and Is as much to be
reprehended. The so-called Gospel
about which st. Paul took them to
task consisted of an admixture Of the
restraints Of the Jewish Law and the
Grace of God.
This perverted Gospel was that in
addition to believing on Christ it was
necessary to become Jews.
Many Christians are still making the
same mistake; they do not appreciate

shall make you free, ye shall be free

Among the expedlents for cutting
