the signs of the times pressge the ap-
preaching humiliation of the scrub
farmer!
The prices of most of the woIks needed
for this course is not high. At retail,
they will cost from $3.50 to 81. If
bought, as they should be, by Oranges,
AllianceS and Reading Clubs, the price
will average about one third less, and
where the books are used successfully by
several persons, the cost to each will be
but trifing.
All of the works mentioned can be
ordered of E. Stieger & Co., 65 Park
Row, N. Y,
The earnest-minded young man will,
however poor he may be, find a means to
secure the education without which his
life must prove a failure. We will give
up whiskey and tobacco or sell, if need
be a COW, horse or land, and buy the
books. No investments he ever made
will pay so well!
