The
Awakening of
Helena Richie
By MARGARET DeIand

People will not turn aside from
the whirl and absorption of real
life TO linger fondly over a book
unless that book outrivals fife
itself and weaves a spell of almost
magic interest.
The threatening Of Helena Richie
is such a book.
Far and wide it is being read,
and praised, and read again. Such
a concord and volume of praise
has perhaps never before been
evoked by any novel of modern
times.

The Call of
the Blood
BY Robert Htehens
Author of The Garden of Allah %

Author of The Garden of Allah
1t is wonderful story-a story
thrilling with the exuItant Joy of
physical life - story which
brands itself upon the mind with
the touch Of white-hot iron.
The scenes are laid in the
most beautiful and romantic of
the Mediterranean islands
Sicily. Here the hero and
heroine come from England to
spend their honeymoon. In the
mans veins runs a strain Of
Southern blood which is reused
by the environment of his fathers
land and by the beauty of an
alturing young Sicilian girl.
The story runs through a
series of breathlessly intense and
passionate climaxes. Every scene
breathes the same wonderful
mystic charm that made The
Garden If HLLah a marvel of
romance.

Future Alabama Congressman Adj
dresses ChRutauGua Assembly.
BEATRICE, Neb., June 29.-(Special.)-
Two of the best numbers on the program
Of the present Chautauqua assembly were
the addresses yesterday of DR.. Macarthur
and Richmond Pearson Hobson OF Merri-
mac fame. DIR. Macarthur addressed a
large audience in the afternoon on the sub
ject, Russia" The speaker gave an in
teresting sketch OF Russian history and
stated that either the Slav or the Anglo
Saxon will rule the world. He dwelt upon
the Slavonic lack of initiative and their
firm belief that their ruler is the repre-
sentative of God upon the earth. He closed
with a description of the assassination OF
Nicholas ii.
Lieutenant Hobson spoke in the evening
to a large audience. The hrst part of his
lecture dealt with national domestic prob
lens. Organized capital has become a
monster tyrant and is taking from the
people more by half for it's services than
Il is entitled to. Its influence upon local,
state and federal politics has been bad.
One Of the greatest problems both to the
United States and the world is how to
keep peace. The only nation qualified to
keep the peace of the world is the United
States. To take this important position
II is necessary for US TO have a mighty
navy, not TO wage war, but TO keep peace.
Lieutenant Hobson has a good voice and
speaks with great earnestness. He left
the city for the west last night over the
Rock Island.

last year S1o1 Sl6 of the total assessment
Of the state represented the assessed value
Of the dogs. This is over 100000 worth of

materially increased over last year, while
the value will be about the same on the
average. Sheep last year we're worth s.
cents a head. while a dog was assessed at
90 cents. making the actual value Of the
sheep S2SO and the actual value of mans
best friend $40 each. The total number
OF dogs reported last year by the assessors
was los. e44. while of the forty-one counties
reported so far. the number OF dogs is
materially increased.
According to the counties reported the
taxable value OF dogs on the average will
be increased to at least 81, making the av-
erage actual value of every dog in Ne
