THEIR MEMORIAL DAY Despite the fact that the weather was most unpromising, a large audi- ence assembled before the speakers’ stand at Hanscom park Sunday to listen to the program prepared by the local camps, Ancient (grder of United Workmen and Degree of Honor, for the celebration of their annual Floral day. About five hundred persons were present. The program was opened with a selection by the Ancient Order of United Workmen No. 17, military band, followed by a prayer by Rev. Mr. Cornish. Following the prayer Dr. A. G. A. Buxton, rector of the St. Paul's Episcopal church, Council Bluffs, pronounced a eulogy which will be long remembered by those who heard him speak. In the course of his talk, Dr, Bux- | ton portrayed most vividly the value of a memorial day, not to an or- ganization alonc but to the nation as well. In speaking of fraternalism he said: “What the world needs is fra- ternalism, not lodgism, or churchism, and fraternalism is brotherhood as taught by Christ.” BODY OF JOHN V.

The great bargain we offer—the new Encyclopaedia Britannica, unabridged, complete, in a new handy form atan unprecedentedly low price—was all created before the war, the preparations, contracts and purchases made. We could offer this bargain, we could make these prices, only because of huge purchases at véry low prices and great economies in manufacture. We could not do it now; nor can we obtain any more sets at anything like present prices. After next Saturday you will have to pay from $11 per set to $19 per set more (according to the binding) for identically the same work. If you are thrifty, you will save this money; if you are careless, hesitating, you will lose it, —because you need the Encyclopaedia Britannica in your home.

Only one work in the whole history of publishin, has ever cost so much and that is the new Eleventh Edition o the Encyclopaedia Britannica. It cost this enormous sum first of all because it is a work of the W authorities in every field of human knnwled&e. It Ml could have been comflled by hack writers for a_tenth this sum; butit would not have been the Encyclopaedia Britannica. .( | The contributing staff includes representatives from 81 different universities in 21 different countries, and from 65 eges, a total of over 700 university and college experts. And all of these have woq distinction in their especial fields. ‘The 1500 contributors furnished a total of over 40,000 articles. Every one of these 40,000 articles had to be verl?ied, edited, com| and trimmed into its allotted space. Thousands of these articles were submitted to two or more experts for revision and criticism. 1t is this sort of patience and thor:‘l’x!ghness and prodigal outlay which has made the Enc{clopo a Britannica the one work of its kind in all the world. If you buy anything else {oou ll)lny something inferior—something cheaply made, just sell. Entire Set weighs only 50 pounds (move them anywhere) do.
