FRIENDS OF THE HUNTED. A Story
for Boys, by John Howard Jewett.
Published by the Dodge Publishing
Company, 220 E. 23d street, New
York. Price, 81.
This is most needed book at this
time. when so much of the thoughts of
men are taken up with devices and
means for killing wild animals. This
teaches boy in a pleasing, entertain
ing and instructive way that there is a
much better use to be made of animals
than to kill them. 1t encourages him
to study them and make friends of
them.

the country is able to provide play

denied that privilege because Congress
falls to appropriate for IL. If Congress
were appropriating the money of the
