Newspaper Census Out.

The forty-sixth annual census of the
publications of the United States and
Canada, published in the American
Newspaper Annual and Directory.
shows that an average of five new
publications were started every work
ing day during 1918. The suspensions
and cancellations make the net gain
only three a week.
The total number of publications is
24,527 There are $50 daihes- the
evening editions outnumbering the
morning by about three to one. There
are 572 Sunday papers. 1t requires
forty different languages to carry the
news to the people Of this country.
Large lists are devoted to the special
publications, agricultural, religious,
etc, but every class, every cult, every
trade, every profession every fad,
every ISM, has its printed spokes-
man in the 2l5 different lists into which
they are subdivided.
Only four industries now exceed in
capital invested and value Of products
the business of publishing and printing
In ten years the output increased SO
per cent, and it is estimated that at
present the earnings Of newspapers
and periodicals average nearly a million
and half dollars per calendar day.
Two thirds of this amount perhaps rep
resents the income from advertising.

yidual can be familiar with a large part
of the publishing industry, which IL
