Still the Favorlte.

If you are contemplating a trip for
business or pleasure it will be we'll to re-
member that the Burlington Route is still
the favorite. Her old established line
to Chicago hardly needs more than mere
mention for the reason that every man,
woman and child in the country is so
familiar with the fact that over this line
runs the famous solid vestibule CELL"
with its splendid Pullman Sleepers, chair
cars and dining cars.
Your attention is now called to our
double daily service between Kansas City.
Atchison, St. Joseph and st. Louis.
Heretofore we had but one daily train
from the Missouri river to St. Louis, that
being night train, placing passengers in
st. Louis in the morning in time for
breakfast and all eastern connections, but
on account of the increasing demand an
other train has been put on and now
leaves Kansas City, Atchison and st. Jo-
seph in the morning, placing the passen-
ger in st. Louis in the early evening of
the same day.
Omaha and Council Bluffs are put in
rapid communication with the lower Mis-
souri, river points by two superb daily
trains, one leaving Kansas City late in
the morning and the other in the evening,
making the run from Kansas City in
about eight hours. The morning train
carries through buffet sleeping car to
St. Paul and Minneapolis, placing the
passenger in the twin cities twenty hours
after leaving Kansas City.

A Marvellous Growth.

A careful compilation of the statistics
OF the newspapers and periodicals of the
United States and Canada shows that the
increase during the past year was nine
per cent. or three times the increase of
population. The Cleveland Leader and
Herald has done little arithmetical
work in connection with the matter and
finds that, during the year 1913 new
periodicals Of kinds have been added to
the number before in existence, which
was 17,76O. That paper then proceeds
to demonstrate by the simple process of
division. that accepting the lowest
statement of circulation, enough
periodicals are published to render it
possible to furnish s'a monthly magazine
to two families out of three in the two
countries; daily paper to every second
household, and two weeklies to almost as
many families as there are in the United
States and British North America. The
total number of single copies published
is enough to give every man, woman and
child. from Mexico to the Arctic Ocean
more than sixty papers or magazines in a
year."
This growth is a marvellous one, and.
as the newspaper is the easiest ettainable
and the most universal agent of educa-
ton, it is safe to say that the general
intelligence has advanced IN souotb;rc,
IKE the ratio OF periodical production.
Inc men who make their mark in this
country to-day are not the ones who are
compelled to snake their mark" but
those who are intelligent. informed and
alert They must be all these to meet
the terrible competition of the time, and
It is the newspaper and the periodical as
much as the school and the college that
are aiding to make them eo.-Detro9

Let us have the best books. papers and

Nothing will compensate to our child

let us strive to secure for them the best
of books, such. as Shakespeare, Irving,
Thackeray and Dickens, and of the best

A good book is the most appropriate
gift that friendship can make. 1t never
