First, Something About the Book The book is the story of A. C. Townley and the Non- partisan League, written by one of America’s most noted writers on_political and economic subjects. It is published by Harper & Bros. Mr. Russell has been in personal touch with af- fairs in the states where the League was organized. He speaks from first hand knowledge. His book answers such questions as these: Was - the:League disloyal in the war? Has the League been_autocratic in management? . Is A. C. Townley a crook? His answers are NOT answers that the League would give, nor yet that League enemles would- give. They are his best, impartial judgment. Enemies of the League have quoted this book to prove their points. Leaguers have been pleased with the book. YOU ought to read it and OWN it. . Kill Two Birds .

There is some profit in a business that can go on paying blg dividends while one of its employes is making away with a cool million. c ok * * WHY FARMERS FAIL : (No. 4) James Peck’s crop Was certainly a whale; Thought he’d make a Barrel of kale.

An exchange says that an evengel- ist had tacked to @ tree at the inter- section of two roads a sign bearing this advice: “Prepare to meet thy God.” , And then along came a man from the state highway department who placed a sign below it with the single | word: “Detour.” * % The Cootey company of Minneapolis are big bugs among the prmtmg firms of that city.

If “Cy” Thomson had a yacht we presume he named it “Hon- esty.” Other appropriate yacht names which readily suggest themselves are: " 'For Taft, the “Petite”; for Judge Landis, the “Meek”; sey, the “Timidity”; Ruth, the “Bunter.” T The sign, “Free Air,” at Stand- ard Oil company auto filling sta- tions, indicates that John D. hasn’t a monopoly on the atmos- phere yet. for Jack Demp- and for Babe * * The advertising fraternity claims the war was sold to *‘America by ap- proved = advertising methods.
