A SOUTH DAKOTA editor says he has
two subscribers who frequently get
full, and every time they are in that
condition they come in and pay a year
in advance on subscription. One of
them is already credited to 1941, and
the fraternity throughout the State are

he drinks. They want to offer 1t as a
premium.
II any Of our subscribers use whisky
at all, we hope they will procure
some of the above brand.

THE ILLUSTRATORS ART.

The Exhibit of illustrations at Yale
 Art School Closes TO-morrow-Works
 of Famous Artists.
 The exhibition of illustrative art which has been held at the Yale Art school for the past two weeks closes tomorrow and all who have not yet availed themselves of this opportunity of seeing the work of the most famous illustrators should do so at once. The superb collection from the Scribner's and Century Magazines will be return ed to New York as soon as the exhibi- tion closes.
 The collection is a representative one, numbering 3O0 selected examples of the best illustrations of the day, and in every variety of style and method The exhibition is one of the most remarka- ble of it's kind ever brought together, and it is not likely that a similar op- portunity will occur here again for studying the masterpieces of the most noted magazine illustrators, as it is un- certain whether it will be possible to secure such a selection in the future.
