UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
CIRCULATION OF PAPER ITS BASIS OF SUCCESS
Leslie Wallace, Kansas Editor
Says There's no Get-Rich-
Quick Way
Quick Way
Sound circulation is the basis upon which the success of the small town newspaper is based, the opinion of Leslie Wallace, editor of the Larned newspaper and the journalist classes this morning on "The Small Town Newsman."
"This circulation is to be gained by the paper on its merits alone, and not with the assistance of some get-rich-quick subscription scheme," said Mr. Wallace, giving concrete examples to carry out his points. He said his experience with the Sunflower Princess test, last year, cured him now and forever of any and all pseudo circulation builders.
The Larned publisher is a Kansas product, beginning his work in the news game as an office boy in the Paola Spirit. Later he went to Kansas City as reporter for the Star. After two and one-half years of reporting, he was made editor of the Sunday Star which position he held for two and one-half years, leaving the office to be a newspaper of his own. The Tiller and Toiler has prospered greatly under the guidance of Mr. Wallace and is looked upon as one of the model weekly papers of Kansas.
At 4:30 Friday afternoon Mr. Wallace speaks in Room 102, Medic, on "City or Country Journalism—Which?" All students in the department of journalism and others interested are invited to come.

THE CIGARETTE LAW
