Rev. ri Z. TICKS 1908
To say that this splendid work of
science and art IL finer and better
than ever, is stating it mildly. The
demand for it is far beyond all previ-
GUS years. To say that such results,
reaching through thirty years, are not
based on sound sense and usefulness.
Is an insult to the intelligence OF mil
lions. Prof. Hicks, through this great
almanac, and his famous family and
scientific journal, Word ana Works,
Is doing a work for the whole people,
not approached by any other man or
publication. A fair test will prove
this to any reasonable person. Added
to the most luminous course in as
tronomy for 1903, forecasts of storms
and weather are given, as never be-
fore, for every day In the year, all
charmingly illustrated with nearly
two hundred e~ngravings. The price
