II IL with great satisfaction that The
Standard this morning prints the announce
ment Of IT. renewed Britannica o1e,. II Ii
true the extension 10 very short. but II will
II least give an opportunity for the regis
tration OF The scores who since the with
drawal Of the offer have bssieged our Bri-
tannica headquarters with applications for
this valuable library. Tbs Standard. how
over. expects the extension to accomplish
more than this. for the sacrifice made to
obtain this boon for ito readers will cost >
nice round sum-. but the sacrifice 10 chess-
fully made, for tho Standard believes u will
prove = priceless blessing to hundreds Of
additional Montana homes. There ID also =
selfish motive which tho Standard does not
care to conceal, and which In the long rum
cannot fail TO turn tho loss into . source Of
gain. Every hundred sets Of the Encyolo-
paed;a Britannica introduced into ths
homes of this state means at least from 100
TO 500 more intelligent citizens who will. Of
course, want the Standard. tho ncknowl.
edged representative journal of Montana.

viewed a. the payment Of An advertise
ment. which will o. on up its greatest re-
ward In the coming generation.
