WRITE A BOOK.
Times are changed and changing.
We are breaking away from tho Old
moorings and losing sight OF tho old
landmarks. In times agOne an author
had TO live In n garnet, 0at whom he
could find anything, pay his debts in
books and manuscript and hibernate
In Jail In order 10 achieve distinction.
Now the road to fame and fortune IL
much shorter. IL is only necessary 10
