To ADVERTISERS:

Some newspapers in the larger cities
are suggesting to their big advertisers
that they reduce the size of their ad-
vertisements.
The State Journal suggests this to
its Topeka advertisers. Where the
advertiser has been in the habit of
using seven columns, he might reduce
his space to five or six columns; cut
five column space to three or four
columns, and a four column space to
three columns; four half columns
might be put into three halves; and
where a double ten is planned, the
space might be reduced to a double
nine; or a single ten to eight inches.
The Chicago News is now not only
suggesting to its large advertisers that
they cut down their space, but is per-
cannot permit them to use more than
a certain limited number of inches on
certain days.
Other daily newspapers are catering
to the small advertisers. those who
run a two inch space, or three or four
or five inches, on the theory that it is
of more value to carry a large number
of small display ads than a few big
ones. Among the papers pursuing
this method are the Springfield, Mass,
Republican and the Bloomington, Hi
nois, tagraph. Both these papers
belong to the high grade in the daily
newspaper field.

Oddities CuLLed
From Days Ne1Os

New York-The demand among
eastern fashionables for thoroughbred
carriage horses during the last month
indicates a reversion to hoof-drawn
vehicles this spring, horse dealers
here said today. They added that the
rising price of gasoline had nothing
to do with the change.
New York-Caruso is no longer
husky and heavy. He is slender and
slick 1t costs him much discomfort
in reducing and much actual cash
for forty new suits to stage this press
agent stunt He gave the forty fat
suits to a corpulent friend.
London-London tailors are already
shyly suggesting that prices viii; go
90 per cent higher after the war, the
reason being the boom to be created
by the millions of soldiers who will
exchange khaki for new civilian at
tire.
Denton. Texas-Masie Pass, s. is the
speIlingest girl in school. Although
only a member of the first grade, she
recently spelled down the entire fifth
grade She spelled all the way through
the fifth grade book without missing
a word, then went half way through
the book again, spelling all the words
backward.

At this time it is pertinent to refer
to the new noon edition, established
over a year ago. The sales of this
edition now exceed the sales of all
the other three editions put out by the
State Journal.
The popularity of the paper is some
what difficult to understand. several
elements entering INTO it. There is
nearly always some good news that
has developed during the morning, or
too late at night for the morning pa
pers; then, too, the edition is availa BILE
at the midday rest and luncheon hour
when the business man has more time
to read. during his MONDAY respite
from work, than he had at the break
fast table.
Another point of course, in its fa-
vor is the price, one cent People do
not miss the penny. Then. too, the
comic page is a factor
The paper is popular. too, on all the
outgoing MONDAY trains and at the
towns and cities through which those
trains pass by evening. 1t is the eve
ming paper for many readers who live
from fifty to two hundred miles away
from Topeka.
1t is to be hoped that the State Jour
nal will not be compelled to advance
the price of its noon edition from one
cent to two cents, except for the dou-
bic number in colors on Saturday, or
TO five cents, as was announced this
week by a Houston paper.
1t is, however, a good time for pub
fishers to plan for conservation of
white paper. as the government has
so pointedly and forcibly suggested
recently to the entire country.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1916-04-01

The State Journal desires to please
its advertisers to the fullest extent,
but is not ambitious, particularly un-
der the present outlook, concerning
the high value of the white paper
upon which the State Journal is print
ed. to run a large number of pages.
1t is planned, however, to run an aver
age, or rather minimum, of ten
pages. This would be almost equiva-
lent to twelve pages of the size of the
State Journal pages previous TO the
enlargement last December.
1t is also our idea to print a maxi
mum of fourteen pages This is ex-
actly equal to sixteen pages of seven
columns to the page. Exception to
this, of course, will be on Saturday.
twenty oages-equivalent to twenty
three pages of the old size. On Sat
urday. it is intended to print the usual
double number with colors although
colored inks are on a stiff upgrade.
The fourteen page paper, eight col
umns to the page, is really the ideal
size. This was the size of the State
Journal yesterday. Advertising and
reading matter were well balanced;
there was a large amount of both.
The news was certainly up to the min
ute, and the display advertisements.

local merchants, could hardly have
been better in any city in the country.
The advertisements were indeed most
attractive and the merchants are reap

To be sure, yesterday. even with the
fourteen big pages. the State Journal
was obliged to leave out about three
columns of reading matter: in fact, for
the last week, there has been an aver
age of three columns of reading mat

DAREDEVIL RIDER MEETS
WITH PAINFUL ACCIDENT

Miss Olive Hagar, trick motor
cyclist of the Sheesley Greater
Shows, in performing very singu-
lar stunt and flirting with death
in her department last night be-
tween 8 and 10 o'clock, was very
painfully injured, sustaining a
fracture Of the clavicle on the left
side, and a slight conclusion at
the base of the brain, besides a
severe shake-up Of her entire
body.
The young lady was performing
this stunt with her brother, 0. K.
Hagar, riding partner, and had
just started on the first gO-round
in the autodrome, when ir some
way, one of the tires on her ma
chine slipped, causing her to fall,
throwing her into the arena.
Spectators were there by large
numbers, and it was at first feared
that the young lady was seriously
if not fatally injured.
A car was summoned immedi-
ately, and through the courtesy
of ID. G. Gooch, she was carried
to the home of Mr.. and Mrs. r. |.
Hall on Fillmore street.
DR.. j. Harrington Smith at once
administered to her sufferings,
calling into consultation DR.. w.
w. McRae.
Her broken collar bone was adj
justed and dressed, and while it
was thought possible at first that
the conclusion Of the brain would
probably result seriously, today
she is reported to be resting nice
ly and has been relieyed consider
ably OF her great pain.
The accident was said to, have
been caused by the young man s
machine tipping her cycle, as they
had just started to make the fig
ure eight. Both were travelling at
terrific speed, and the feature,
very daring one, it seemed to have
been a very narrow escape for the
young lady rider.
Her anxiety about her work was
evidenced this morning, having re
gained consciousness, and she
asked her physician how long it
would be before she could resume
her work.
1t is probable that the injury
will keep her confined for two
weeks or longer.

be held in Corinth. 1t is to be a
big day. Manager Sheesley, Of
the Greater Sheesley Shows has
agreed to donate the services of

This will be great day for the
boys and girls and the grown-ups

! is looked forward to to discover
the progress that our boys and
girls have been making at school

is time Of sadness to them, mas
much as the time for the close of
their schools has arrived.
They will be here by the hun
dreds. We are expecting one of
the biggest crowds seen in Cor
NTH in many a day. There is
every reason to believe there will
be hundreds of visitors, 50 great
will be the attraction, and with
good loads and favorable weather
we are anticipating the attend
ance of hundreds and hundreds
of people.
The contests will be interesting
and the boys and girls will do
well. We know they will by the
numbers Of diplomas that are be-
ing made out and delivered to
them.
MANY handsome prizes will be
given by the liberal-hearted mer-
chants Of Corinth. Manv Of the
pupils will get prizes. We wish
that all might get prizes, but that

court house promptly at 10. to
continue until noon, when the lit
erarv departments of the free
schools will be represented.
Junch will be served at noon,

gram will take Dlacn at the cam
pus of the Corinth Hi oh School,

tered into, representing many diff
ferent schools Of the county.

ing to $3.50 to $15 to each indi-

BANNER NIGHT FOR
CARNIVAL COMPANY

Fridays Daily.
With the arrival of Prof. Blan-
co and his band, the Sheesley
Shows assumed more vivacious
attitude last night and the various
streets and avenues upon the
grounds were uncOmfortably
crowded. The band rendered two
concerts yesterday which We're
well received, and these concerts
will be given again today and to-
morrow.
Mr.. Seller, the man-ape, gave a
high wire performance at 4:3O
and at night there was an aerial
bombardment which was followed
by fireworks at 10 o'clock.
These free features will con
, tinue each afternoon and evening.
All the shows We're well patron
lied last night, but in view of the
size of the aggregation, it is hard
ly likely that any profit will be
realized. as a result of the engage,
ment here. Boarding houses, res
taurants and hotels are thriving
and full to the overflow. Carnival
companies, unlike the circus, do
not carry cook-houses or sleeping
apartments, which fact leaves an
attractive penny in each city for
the "Butcher, Baker and Candle
Stick Maker" as the money spent
for living runs up into the hun
dreds or thousands each week.
Sheesley has a model company
and is a master-builder for repu-
tation and cleanliness.
Yesterday all the shows were
photographed by McCord, local
photographer, and these mounted
nicely, are to be sent out with the
promoters to show the size and
powers of the shows. The work
is frst-class and Mr.. McCord will
secure a lot of advertising as a
result of his work.

verge of starvation that only the charity OF the out
side world can save hundreds of thousands of people
in that unhappy land from perishing of hunger Yet
correspondent writes to Chicago paper that the
kaisers government collects heavy duty on all food
imported into Poland. Even when the food comes
from the part of Polish territory occupied by Austria
into that held by Germany, the duty is assessed and
collected, and only in few cases have charitable
societies been able to secure remission of this ta-
riff The price of food, the correspondent adds, is
materially increased by this duty, which nets the
German government large sums

that the kaisers government has extorted 900

was contributing vast sums to save the Belgian
people from starvation. Scrap of Paper" Jagow de-
