Everyone.
Honest Emulation and Certain Sueoess'--
rhe MASTERPIECES of the world's Genius
to be Secured Absolutely Free.

In the columns Of the NEws-DEMoCRAT
today is TO be found tile startling an
nouc, ment that tue Encyclopedia Britain
MICA is 10 be given away as an edvertise-
ment. If this announcement had been
made a few months ago when this nam
moth library was selling at Sl25 orS200
per set, IL would have been discredited.
The idea of its being possible for all
people in Stark county, rich or poor, to
possess this wonderful book, woull have
been beyond the widest dreams or of
the most sanguine hopes of men.
wherever any other Encyclopedias has
been purchased, in five cases out OF ten it
was because this king of its tribe was
beyond the financial pleasures OF the
purchaser.
Scholars are not divided in their de-
cision as to which is the Encyclopaedia.
Prof David Swing says: "Ihe Ency.
clopedia Britannica is the king of its tribe"
DR.. A. Il. Merriam says: ut is the only
great Encyclopaedia"
Hon. John Wanamaker says: "The
Encyclopaedia Britannica is the monarch
of fEncyclopaedies.n This masterpiece of
the Worlds Genius can be secured now
absolutely free, is certainly of the
proudest achievements due to the Ameri-
can enterprise aud American public spirit
to be found on free soil.
In the days of the Empire in France IL
was the proud boast of the nation that q
marshal's baton was in the knap sack OF
every soldier. In this country, and in
these days we have grander and prouder
boast. No marshaPs baton encircles the
empire OF our possibilities, and no i'm.
perial whim marks the boundary beyond
which we may not aim. In our higher
civilization and more perfect government
we are the creators of our positions. No
| accidental circum stances of birth or con.
| dition bar our ambitions. We are equal
| in citizenship, and in the realization OF
| life's rewards one man is successful more
| than the other only in so much as he
| makes himself. All fields are open, and
| the harvest is to the one who works most
iPdus'rOgs,y and iD hsb inssieeosy iol a
| is cast we enjoy advantages that to Others
| are lost, but theee very advantages are but
| the fruits of the brain and Drawn Of our
fathers and ourselves, who, in truly he
| publican form OF government and an en-
| ligbtened administration OF the laws,
have crystalized their wisdom and their
| experience.
We enjoy rare privileges that others do
not Ours is the heritage of a glorious past
and q present that is ever up aud ready
| for the future. We are something more
| than mere workers. We toll through the
| early years that our ambitions may bear
| when the shadows will have begun to grow
| lsngthened. There 10 an individual ambi'
| ton in us that makes us the peer OF any
| people on the globe. We are not content
| to sit our lives out working at the foot
| stools of others. The mechanic aims TO be
a master, the painter an artist, the clerk
| a merchant the laborer that he may gain
recognition. And as it is physically SO, II
Is intellectually. In the march toward
| progress we must keep pace with the lead
| ers or fall back into u mediocrity that is
utterly inconsistent with the spirit OF
| Americanism.
The drones, however, are few indeed
| In the high position of honor and trust
| filled by men not yet in the zenith Of theii
| lives, in the well filed classes in which
| young men and young women spend tht
/ hours OF evening in study, In the libraries
| that are patronized to their full capacity
| aye, and in the little library, too, W. IN II
| to the pride of the humblest American
| home, there 10 evidence that the parents
| and their sons and daughters realize tina
| mind is the ruliug power in this newer
| and greater world. We have passed th'
| ruder stages of our civilization, and wha
best fits naan to grapple with living Is
| sues, what best enables him to discern i'm
| provements, to suggest inventions to cop'
with others whose brains are their capita
that Is what tells in life, and the NOR
varied the accomplishments the create
the possibilities. In this connection IL d
that this paper suggests to young men
| and strongly recommends the "EncyclO
pedia Britannica There 10 no field II
the world of either mental or physical ac
tiyity which il does not cover. 1t is tn
result of the critical labor of the bes
scholars, a complication of history, tn
story OF the achievements OF years, pan
Drama in which scenes are called up file,
with information that no college cours
can give. Itis an education in itself. N
man needs any other library. No ma
could have q better one. Here you hav
treasure that will be both pleasure an
q benefit.
Aud the most wonderful thing Of 1t al
is this masterpiece of the worlds geniu
is to be offered as free gift. Thousand
and even millions of dollars are spen
each year for advertising. Who will nc
con mend method of advertising ths
gives the advertising expense right bac
to the people? Let everybody thank a
enterprise that undertakes TO give ava
free Of cost library of which the Presi
dent of Yale College has said, II will def
any one to buy 5000 volumes which wi
give him as good working library as
furnished by the Encyclopedias BritaI
nica."
In 1t all subjects known to man ar
treated, and each and every subject
treated by the leading experts upon th
respective subjects.
When the advertiser calls upon you

sented, you will call 1t the most libera
and most public spirited advertisemei
