On the opposite page are the American News Co.'s orders 

 for January, '99 and for January 1900 RECREATION. 



These show an increase of 2,000 for the corresponding 

 months of the 2 years. 



On THIS page is the order for March RECREATION of the 

 present year. It calls for 20,000 — 1,000 more than for January 

 of this year. 



My enemies would have you believe my crusade against 

 the game hogs is destroying my circulation. 



May be it does, as far as some of these animals are con- 

 cerned, but I am getting GENTLEMEN to fake their places. 



Not all the vacancies in my subscription list have yet 

 been filled. 



But the subscriptions are coming. 



And this steady growth in my news trade, proves that the 



best people are with me,
