A rtcent survey well Illustrates the sustained popularity of newspapers among advertisers. The survey was ma'de by four national associations . serving chain stores. and. covered 138 representative systems operating more than 33,000 stores, coast-toeoast. and having annual tales well in excess of $3,000,000. ,During the typical year covered by the survey, these - cimpanies spent more than $55,000,000 for ad vertislng, and average of 91,754 pe> store. Almost 58 percent of the mon ey was spent with newspapers. A little less than in percent was spent on "handbills and similar printed matter, much of which was produced in local newspaper plants. Only 4.30 percent was spent for radio with the .balance made Up of ex pendltures or ..miscellaneous media. Breaking the figures down. It was found that drug chains spent 82.24 percent of their advertising dollar with newspapers, grocery chains spent 56 53 per cent and general merchandise and . variety chains spent 51.35 per cent. That Is a testimonial to the char acter of the American press. No Institution holds a higher place in the esteem of the American people. This is particularly true of the newspapers serving the smaller tiwns of the country. which are read from ''cover to cover" by their subscribers ? news, locals, advertisements. and all.?t^harlotte (N. C.) Observer. A NEWSPAPER SUSPENDS Everyone who has ever lived in a small town and enjoyed reading a country weekly realizes the interest and devotion that develops l'or the rural home-town paper. The size of the paper is Immaterial. The typography is not of importance. The paper's contents may appear dry to strangers;, but to homefoiks apd persons who formerly lived there especially the latter ? there is no substitute for reports that Miss Georgia Williams' cake recipe won a prize, or that Mrs. Joe Johnston spent Saturday in the county seat. visiting Mrs. Henry Kemper. When a small-town newspaper dls continues publication. Its absence Is felt more than the loss of a "metropolitan daily paper, because the big news can be obtained front other metropolitan papers.

I can truthfully say that it was the warmest welcome I have ever received. Even with the extremely hot weather, Dr. Sprinkle preached a very inspiring sermon, and the attendance was very good.

Childers said, "I came by and turned on Hunter Patterson's and Frank Roberts' fans and I know you can stand It a little cooler If they can".

I'm going to see all the wonderful things ? meet all the marvelous, gay peonle that I've been evading about. Freddie, iant K a wracle!" "Yes." he said dismally. "Ana the suddenness of it!" she ??t on. -"After all this gloom!" "Didn't you ever think you might have a fortune?" he asked. "No! My grandfather made it all from the coal-mines and ifs been and ok, darting, Pvn piling; up ever since bis death. He was a horrible old miser. He didn't want me to arrow up knowing I was an heiress ? he thought that pears of gloom and misery would make me as mean and stingy as he was. But he made a bad guess. I'm going to spend It ? right and left! I'm going to have some .fun at last ? and so will you, darling! I'm going to buy you the finest laboratory in the world, with lots of trained nurses ? all very unattractive ? and we'll give a wonderful party every nlgbt when ' we're married!" "When we're what?" She felt the. dullness in his olce. "Freddie," she asked, "what's happened to you since yesterday?" "Yesterday you needed mo as a afcance of escape from t'''he aid deliberately. "Today the .vhole world Is yoursthe whole wonderful, glamorous, expensive world." "But supposing I tell you that 1 love you? "I shouldn't believe it. You want your freedom, don't you? And so do I. If we were married we'd lira all chance of it. Your money would ruin any . ambition I've got, and I'd spoil your fun." "You're talking like my grandfather!" she countered angrily, completely taken aback. "I'm going out to spend a, million ? maybe two millions ? I'm going to spend it foolishly, gloriously! After that ? well, In the meantime I'll have done some living." "I hope you have a fine time, Jane." "No you don't! You hope that all the money poisons me. Otherwise' you'd come with me to London.
