Ripping Rhymes
GOD SAVE THEM
by Wall Mason

God save the divers kings for whom the
anthem rings, from loyal throats; may they
with wisdom choose all policies they use,
and may they never lose their royal goats.
God save all kings and queens, princes and
horse marines, whose hearts are right; let
us not choose and pick! God save the lowly
hick, digging where bombs are thick, there
in the fight. God save the nameless wight,
buried at dead of night, on foreign shore,
buried in crimson mud, while like a ceaseless
flood wavelets Of human blood flow ever
more God save ouP. noble bows, going

This circulation is exact because account is taken Of
every paper going out of the office and permanent
record kept which is annually checked up and proven by
amount of money received paper used etc. by the Audit
Bureau of Crculatons of which the Capital Journal is
member This audit bureau was organized primarily to
protect national organizers from false circulation claims
and practically all the leading newspapers mem
bers Of it. submitting to drastic examination and audit Of
their circulation statement annually in the interest OF the
advertiser who pays for space the basis of circulation
The Capital Journal circulation is large for its field
but might be so per cent larger reasonable effort
made to increase it. Here is where the shoe pnches.
Newspapers for years have not attempted to pay but
small part OF their operating expenses from subscription
receipts and find themselves forced to curta crcula
ton instead Of seeking to increase it in great many
instances.
In field like that covered by the Capital Journal the
volume of advertising is limited and rates cannot be in
creased beyond certain point We already have passed
the limit and have many hundreds subscribers than
rates and the volume of business carried justfles
Other papers all the country in similar cond
ton because the exciting since the war broke out
Europe has made increased demand for newspapers
and publishers who once campalgned for circulation are
trying to keep names OFT their lists they are saving
the money formerly spent in circulation promotion but
the other hand expense of publication has rapidly in
creased while the volume Of advertising is rapidly falling
off, effect which will doubt be accentuated as war
conditions become more pronounced in this country.
The result Of these conditions is reflected in the suspen-
sion of many special publications and the consolidation
of newspapers many cities and towns The government
is depending upon the newspapers for all activities
but far has taken steps to protect them against
financial loss it has in most of the other leading indus
tries That is probably because the publishers shoulder
the increased burdens bravey and make concerted eff
fort procure needed relief and protection And they
will probably go to the end of the war; backing the gov
ernment and weatherng the financial storm best they
may. The weaker will fall by the wayside but the
stronger will be firmly ntrenched in the public
esteem than ever when the crisis passes and will perhaps
due course of time after normal conditions restored
reap larger financial returns reward for their grit
and faithful service
At the present tme however, with no aluring pros
poets of profits and constantly mounting expenses
newspaper publishers working their wits overtime in
order figure way out of the conditions which con-
front them.

This May Not Be True.

Burbank Review: We hardly be-
lieve it ourselves, but it is reported
that a man here in town who is too
stingy to take the home paper always
sends over to his neighbor's to bOr
row the paper, so he can read it.
One evening he sent his son over to
borrow the paper, and while the son
was on the way he ran into a large
stand of bees and in a few minutes
his face looked like summer squash.
Hearing the agonizing cries of his
and in SO doing ran into a barbed
wire fence, cutting out a handful OF
flesh from his anatomy and ruinine
a 81 pair of trousers.
The old cow took advantage of the
hole in the fence, and got into the
field and killed herself eating green
corn. Hearing the racket, the stingy
mans wife ran out of the house, up
setting a fOur-gallOn churn full of
CREAM iHlo bdShel VI hiLteHS'
drowning the whole litter. She
slipped on the cream and fell down.
stairs, breaking her leg and a SIS
set Of false teeth. The baby, left
alone, craWled through the spilled
cream into the parlor and ruined a
$40 carpet During the excitement
the daughter eloped with the hired
man, taking the family savings with
them.
The moral is that every man
should be a subscriber to his home
newspaper.

THE INVESTOR EVOLVES.

When a child outgrows the parent
in wisdom, it is sometimes the pa
rents chief grief to realize this fact
as we'll as the same parents OBJ
stinate refusal to admit it.
In investment lines, the child has
surely outgrown the parent. The
old prospectus comes like a breath
from the tomb, the old argument
falls long before it is we'll on the
way and the old lie has lost it's gar
ments and stands naked and shiver-
ing in the cold open. Evolution is
making the investor Like the
game" fighter who comes back
stronger after each hurt, the invest
or is showing that tenacity that cen
ters about educatiOn-thrOugh eX-
perience. 1t is the evolution that
is outstripping the necessity of legal
enactment; this understanding that
is beating the statutes in the matter
of reform.
Few interested in these lines ap-
preciate the true condition. Every
thing is moving rapidly. The halo
is disappearing from the brow of per
sonality and is forgotten, while the
belief is already transferred to the
thrOne-rOom of business. If, in the
beginning, many years ago, the in
vestors had known! But they had to
learn. And they have learned.
What is more, their knowledge is OF
that kind that is progressive. 1t ad-
mits no standstill-which, after all
is only another name for retrOgres-
sion.
In dealing with the public in fl
nancial matters, remember always
that the investor evolves.-Denver
