GaWson'S magic Jimmy.
With his usual half page advertise.

Lawson of Boston has duly announced
and explained his latest deliverance
February Everybody's Magazine. He
claims that $1O,OOOO0O,OOO out of the
total wealth of the country represents
the systems Imitation during the past
twenty years by means of the trusts,
which he calls the magic jimmy
Out of the $11,O0OOO0,O00 which he
says there is deposited in the banks,
trust and insurance companies he de-
clares there is $2,5OO,0O0 Of actual mon
ey to pay it with. His idea appears to
be that whenever the owners of the
deposits decide that they are half fcti-
tious they have but to sell the stocks
and bonds to the system and withhold
the proceeds from the systems banks
IN order to bring back the securities to
their true value. In this process he
figures that the system will be the los
er. Consequently he urges the people
to sell ala securities except government,

the first of the many improvements that

The Astorian feels its readers will find
the columns of this seventh.day paper
very readable. A perusal will reveal
that the Astorian has kept the first of
the many promises made through these
columns short time ago. The adj

noticeable ;the local pages are improving
by degrees. But these represent merely
the beginning. In the very near future
the Sunday Astorian will be increased
TO twelve pages; these will include

date newspaper, both from the stand
point of efficiency and Typography, and
is determined that the city shall be
graced with such a medium.
