They care little for truth and a great deal for temporary sensation. It is not so with THE CHICAGO RECORD. The success of THE RECORD rests upon its reliability. It prints the news—all the news—and tells the truth about it. It is the only American newspaper outside New York city that has its own exclusive dispatch boat service and its own staff correspondents and artists at«ihe front in both hemispheres. It is the best illustrated daily newspaper in the world. Its war news service is unapproachably the best Says the Urbana (111.)
