The Adrian Daily Democrat is
complaining because their contem-

they use large black face type to say
Gall the news all the time'' to adver-
tise it but don't say word where it
comes from.

creasing in price, including print

maintain the same old rate.

The ADVANCE has received from the
American book company, publishers
of school and college text books. Chi
cago, copy of "Asia.," reader to be
used collaterally with the study of
geography. The Author is Frank
G.. Carpenter, 'Press Correspondent"
who has travelled extensively. This
volume is the result of his recent ex-
tended journeys through the differ
ent countries of Asia, together with
personal observations of their native
peoples, just as they are found today
in their homes and at their work.
The interest and effectiveness of the
book is greatly enhanced by the il

productions from the photograph
taken by the author on the ground.
