This Is a Jolly little story somewhat dif ferent In tone from the longer novels Mr. Bacheller has given us, but nonetheless acceptable. "The trouble," says Hon. So cratea Potter, who tells the story, "began when Bamuel Henshaw, grocer, started to make a queen of his daughter, Llizle." The pace set by her corrupted the " sim plicity of the little Connecticut town, and the new houses, "with towers on them," the automobiles, university tuition and for eign tours Jeopardised the financial sta bility of the community. The story Is a shrewd commentary on American Ufa, full of humor and humanity. Mlacellaneoas. AN INTERPRETATION OF GEwrata by Rev. F. P. Ritmsay, Ph. D.; 336 pp.; $2.' The Neale Publishing company. Many books have been written on tha origin and authorship of Genesis and tha Pentateuch, some ascribing to it ante-Mo- salo origin, some post-Mosala. but Dr. Ramsay declares It to be Mosaic. "Tha whole historical and geographical coloring Is too thoroughly consistent with the times and places of Moses to permit any serious dooht of Its ortrln from M""e." Thla, the author says, of the entire Pentateuch. And he pronounces ss "utterly baseless'' the theory of a post -Mosaic orlcln. He con tends thst this theory Is founded on a false philosophy, which opposes Itself to the farts. He denies the claim that the Pentateuchal ideas and Institutions are too far advanced for Moses and his time, ex cepting from his authorship only minor por tions, as for Instance the letter psrt of Deuteronomy recording the death of Moses, which, of course, had to be written by others. Buch examples of revisions and re editing by other bends, he admits. . Dr. Ramsay has done what liberal and con servative theciloKisns undoubtedly applaud as a good service in directing attention, to the pre-Mosalc elements In the authorship of the Pentateuch, for whatever originality may be ascribed to Motes or special In spiration he certainly had a wealth of na tional religious thought from which to draw. This had been accumulating and de veloping from the time Abraham left the Polytheistic surroundings oT the Chaldees. Unlike so many biblical writers. Dr. Ram say has clothed great technical truths In a diction that will satisfy the layman as well as the critic. His Style Is vivid and his argument Illuminating, reflecting that against, as well as for, his theory and his scholarship and fairness of mind are alike forceful.

' ' JJbriUM 003001 11 A 10-Acre PEAR ORCHARD in the Rogue River Valley will bring you a larger income than 100 acres in Nebraska Have you ever realized -what immense profits are made in fruit-raising in Southern Oregon t Do you know that Rogue ltiver Pears will bring you a net profit of $TX) to $1,000 per acre, according to the age of the trees! Do you know, that this has been proven by a score of men who now have Pear orchards in this district! Do you know that this has been done WITHOUT IRRIGATION? With the completion of the Grants Pass and Rogue River Railroad now a matter of but a few months the Applegata and Williams valleys, regarded by many as the richest and most produc tive of the entire Rogue River district, will be brought into direct touch with the great markets of the world. With the transportation problem solved, these valleys will then receive full development and aro certain to establish new records for quantity and quality of their fruits. Rogue River PEARS today bring the highest prices of any pears grown Do you know the reason 1 It is because Pears grown in this district attain a larger size, are finer flavored and keep longer than those from any other known fruit belt. The soil, climate and elevation has been pronounced by experts as equal to; and in many points superior, to that of any district in the United States. In this district four acres of D'Anjou pear trees, 11 years old, yielded 250 boxes per acre, and sold for $5.12 per box in New York, netting $980.00 PER ACRE. From seven acres of 16-year-old Bartlett pears, W. G. Estep sold an average of 5U boxes per acre, which netted $2.00 per box or $1,023 per acre. These are but two of tho many instances which prove what Rogue River land will produce. 7,000 acres of this land, is offered for sale by the Grants Pass & Rogue River Railroad. The prices are $75 to $300 an acre less than any fruit land of this character in the United States. Decide to investigate and do it TO DAY. If you can't call, write for descriptive literature.
