Two male crickets, placed
head to head in a small en

man hands, will do battle. The
men who watch the contest
bet on the outcome.

Each, of course, believes his
sovereign rights are being
violated, so each rushes to (he

The battle lasts until one or
the other of the birds is re
duced to a bloody pulp, and
creatures in human form lean
over the enclosure to collect

The old Romans pitied
jungle animals against one
another, and against even
wilder men, and applauded
the outcome. In many Europe

were captured and placed in
enclosures with dogs. Dogs
were bred purposely to en

tertainment of the blood-1
thirsty human.
Cockfightlng, which origi
nated in Asia a great many
years ago, still is practiced in
many localities. Gamecocks, a
tough variety of chicken,
were raised for the express
purpose of cockfighting. Man
equipped them with steel
spurs.
Even today, when we are so
proud of our culture, there are
men who sneak away to some
isolated area with a trained
gamecock, where he meets
others of his kind. Bets are
made on which bird can
cripple and kill the other - a
sad commentary on human Intelligence.

99 Million Consumers Read a
Daily Newspaper Each Weekday
These readers make up the largest audience available to any advertiser in any
medium. A recent study of this national newspaper audience shows that it
includes 80 per cent of all men and women over 21... and 72 per cent of all teen
agers, age 15 and over. This huge and consistent
readership can be depended upon by advertisers
because the daily newspaper is a habit with most
. . . an established part of their everyday lives. For the
advertiser, this amounts to almost the total market for
any product. For the local advertiser, this massive readership sym
bolizes the local reach of his own local newspaper-into almost 9 out of 10
homes every day. No matter what the product or service an advertiser wants to sell,
more people can read about it in the pages of the daily newspaper.
