ABOUT MAGAZINE MONEY
IN choosing your periodicals for this year, it will
= be worth your while to study THE SUNDAY
MAGAZINE. If you have followed it at all, you
will realize that it gives just good if better,
material than you find in other weekly pub1ica-
tons. AS independent publication it would
command the highest position in it's field and would
cost ten cents copy. AS part of your Sunday
paper it costs nothing.
1t differs from other magazines in only
respect-it has to grind Its sole purpose
is to entertain and to instruct It's only policy is
that this world is pretty good after all, and that
so-caled exposures and muck rakings
within it's province.
Its aim supply good clean reading for all the
family and to illustrate it's contents with the best
drawings obtainable. To this end contracts have
been entered into with
THE WORLDS GREATEST WRITERS AND ILLUSTRATORS
for large portion of their work during the coming
year. Compare the list of some of the good things
in store for our readers with what is offered by

DRAWING TO A CLOSE
FINAL DAYS OF THE BIG FAIR IN
CONVENTION HALL.

Members of the board of control and other
workers at the big Masonic fair say they
are looking forward to the first three even
ines of this week as the liveliest since the
fair was opened two weeks ago. Such Is
said to be forecast by the Inquiries re-
ceived at headquarters from many who
have not yet visited the fair. but who have
promised to attend this week. The man.
agement, therefore, is anticipating con-
tinuation of the large attendance and pat
ronage of the booths.
President B. F. Smith has again directed
attention to the fact that season tickets
will be good for admission during the extra
half weeks entertainment The ticket
taker will punch the stubs and leave them
in possession of the holders. In that con-
nection the records show that the demand
for season tickets continues. notwithstand-
ing the near approach of the wind-up or
the enterprise.
New features have been established at
some of the booths. For the Mount Vernon
Chapter museum several curiosities have
been gathered by Chairman Roger O'Don-
nell. among them Jose?h's coat of many
colors The patronage Of the Ice cream
and soft drink stands at this booth grows
better as the fair grows older.

NEW YORK sTOCK MARKED

New York, Dec. 18-The heavy con-
gestion in today's dealings in a few
stocks points was Enthusiastically due
to the professional character of the
market. This was particularly mark
ed in Reading, in which orders for
many thousands Of shares were exc
cuted from single houses. Readings
weakness affected the tone Of whole
market in sympathy.
New York central was an indiffer-
ent sharer in the general upturn in
spite Of the refutatiOn of the recently
declared early dividend at per cent
rate inaugurated at this time last year
one Of the days events that relieved
the market from some pressure was
the relaxation Of the tension in the
call money market. The high rate
was IA per cent, and there was re-
cession from that in subsequent
leans.
There was less calling of loans by
the banks and holders of stocks were
freed to that extent from the pressure
to sell The relapse in the rates for
cables on London pointed to one source
of relief. Yesterday there was an
active demand for remittance by this
method which was ascribed to the ap
preaching obligations to be met at the
end Of the year in the market to for
eign holders of stocks and bonds for
dividends and interest. Bonds were ir-
regular. Total sales, par value ST.
922 900. United States bonds were un-
changed on call. Total sales Of stocks
today 81, 900 shares.
