If you do not like either of the above literary gems perhaps you will be interested in another book we offer as a prize for a title. It is "a study In political vindication,” And is about a well-known character in gpr political life, ’William Jennings Bryan, of whom you have doubtless heard at sundry times and oft. The book is written by Wayne C. Williams and is in his best style. Not a large book, to be sure, but a book you will undoubtedly like if you like that kind of a book. Come on with your suggestions.

All five of the boys took part in the show then, Mr. John being the ringmaster. Mr. Alf told me that day that the ambition of himself and brothers was to own the biggest cir cus in the world, and expected to win it by playing square with the people. The Cleanliness, physically and mor ally, of the Mingling shows, coupled with the honesty and energy of the five doys, explains how they achieved their youthful ambition.

World Survey of Agriculture Is Plan of Wallace Information Would Keep American Farmers Inform ed on Foreign Competi tive Conditions. Washington, Oct. 21.—A world sur vey of agriculture, is being made at the direction of Secretary Wallace, it was announced today, to keep Am erican farmers informed as to foreign competitive conditions and to indi cate what opportunities exist abroad for the sale of American farm pro ducts. The information obtained by the Investigators, it Is believed, will enable farmers intelligently to anti cipate vital changes in world agri culture, instead of being forced to carry on their operations in the dark. Some studies already have been completed and others are being made. In addition, the department of agri culture la extending and improving its foreign crop and market report Ing service. Its commissioners in I/ondon and Berlin now investigate demand for agriculture products and assist in developing the European market. Arrangements have been made for extensive cooperation with the consular service of the state de partment In developing a supplemen tary reporting system. A number of other projects de signed to better agriculture condi tions are under way. One Is to as semljje statistics of supply and de mand and make it easy to determine their significance as indicators of price conditions. Such forecasts, of ficials believe, will enable farmers to increase or limit their output well in advance of price change's on which they now have to rely for guidance. A special Investigation Is In prog ress into the handling and reporting of shipments of Canadian wheat to end through the United States and of corresponding movements of Can adian wheat through Canada, the object of which is to clear up con fusion in the statistics of experts and imports as published by the two coun tries. Statistics dealing with important item* In hanking, Industry, foreign and domestic commerce and general prlves to be used In measuring the demand for agriculture products, are being gathered and will be kept up to date for future studies.

Signalmen Denied Boost Chicago, Oct. 21—The United States railroad labor board made public a decision tonight, awarding increases of 1 to 2 cents to clerks, station forces, dock, warehouse and platform freight handlers, and similar employes of 65 carriers. The decision followed closely on an other, denying an increase to signal men. The present decision reads: "In the case of the signalmen, their present rates of pay and the very favorable treatment they had re ceived In previous wage orders and adjustments, made It seem Inequitable to award them an Increase of wages under the state of proof before the board. In the case of the clerical em ployes proper, It Is undoubtedly true that their present wages and the pre vious wage awards and orders affect ing them through a long period of years, do not show that they have ever received treatment which could be termed preferential." A dissent ing opinion accompanied the previous decision denying an increase to the signalmen. The employes affected by the pres ent decision were represented by the Brotherhood of Railway and Steam ship Clerks, Freight Handlers, Ex press and Station Employes, by the Brotherhood of Railway Station Em ployes and by the International Long shoremen's association. An unusual provision of the de olsij.-i is that thu "sum of tho In creases granted to the employes In eaclj section shall bo distributed by Joint action of the representatives of the carriers and of the employes, In such a manner as to bring about Just and equitable rates for the employes in each of- the various sections for which Increases are provided.” Among the cafflers affected are: Tho Santa Fe, Chicago A Eastern Illinois, Chicago A Northwestern, Chi cago.

By Calesrsel Smln. Chicago, Oct. 11.—Can she cook? That'* the question that should be uppermost In a young man’s mind when he goes searching for a wife. Rev. Charles M. Rauch told the con gregation of the Brookline Preeby terian church today. •'Don’t be influenced »vr much by the rustle of a girl's skirt as by her hustle over the dishpan and tub," tlje minister warned. The beat time to go a courting—to find out Just what sort of a girl she I*—la Monday. Then you'll find her at her best—or worst, according to Rev. Rauch. “Call on her when she isn't expect big company and make It some day when her mother Is away from home. Then see how the possible dispenser of kitchen utensils sizes up.” he con tinued. But love must not be left out. Oh. no. Rev. Rauch went into this end of It when he said: "To every young man contemplat ing marriage I would say, Re sure you love, and are loved, then go ahead. It would be a good thing If that love would continue unto the end. Thera should be as much con tempt for a slacker In love as tb pa triotism. I)o a lot of thinking before you go <^own on your knees to any woman. "Do you love her for her charac ter or her chatter? Or the perfume on her ribbons, or Is It the far sweeter perfume of a pure heart that you adore?" And the liaiik account Is not so Important as the heart account, ac cording to ltev. Rauch's philosophy. "I would rather lo#e my heart to a cook and practical housekeeper of oflvsry day common sense than to the shallow, Irresponsible butterfly with never a serious thought. Her bank account la not so Important a* her heart account.

"Truth ii t# Saw at belief, faith and life, and reasoning toward reality the proper goal of the philosophic teat, whereas, moat of the tragedy and disaster In human life, the trouble and hurt and harm In the walks and ways of men. come along the avenue of fa lee beliefs, and if It were porsb ble to avoid the evil of falee beliefs we should avoid most of the thorn* and stones that bedevil mankind.” said Rev. Ralph E. Bailey at the First T’nitarlan church Sunday morning. Hia sermon topic was, “Ths Law of Believing," introducing a eerie* of eight sermons on the genwal them* of "What Can We Believe?" "The will to believe among men is subject to two types of limitation," he said. “One. the tendency and function of ths human mind to seek realtly. and. oecondlv. self-imposed rules or standards which take the place of those dictated by kings or governmer.ta of elate or church. For example, the Idenl. tradition and spirit of this fellowship of ours is good ness. to believe only rh* beet, to make truth the law. "The true rulee and principles which It behooves jia to adopt and follow," concluded Mr. Bailey, "re sulting from the long labor and ex perience of mankind In finding truth, and which have worked In She quest for reality are three: "First, as something presented •» a fnv;t contradicts what »t know from experience and knowledge, we will doubt and invest gate before we accept.
