Every book, every magazine and
almost every periodical printed is il
lustrated. Almost all the daily pa
pers also make a strong feature of
illustrations. Children are taught in
school by means of pictures and us
they grow up most of their informa-
ton is gained first by what they see
with their eyes. It remained for the
publishers of the Bible which this
paper is distributing to illustrate this
work with eye-teaching pictures.
For several weeks this feature has
been presented to our readers in dis
play announcements so that all are
familiar with the campaign conduc-
ted by The Pioneer. What we want
particularly to call your attention to
at the present time is the fact that
this distribution must be withdrawn
and this will be your last opportunity
to get one of these beautiful Bibles
on terms never before heard of. Since
the first announcement that the offer
would be withdrawn many late COM
ers have been presenting certificates
and if you wish to be among the for
tunate ones you should take advan-
tage of the offer without delay as the
books are going fast, and no time
should be lost until you get one.
The certificate is printed daily on
another page Of this paper. Read it
carefully and learn how you may
benefit thereby.
Remember, only a few days re-
main and you will never have such a
chance as this again.

X TO PLANTERS OF CORN x

The wet weather has made it un-
safe to cultivate corn deeply at this
time, says A. G. Army, of the Mime
sofa Experiment Station.
In wet weather when the soil is
saturated with moisture there is a
scarcity of air for corn roots. Con-
sequently they grow near the surface.
Deep cultivation, therefore, after the
corn has obtained a height of or T
inches, will destroy the roots, lessen
the moisture supply to plants, and

beginning to assert herself occasion

really thought of these bursts of hers,
but she shrewdly suspected that he
hardly knew what to make of them
After a few minutes Helen went
down to get Winifred ready and to
put the last few little things in her
handbag. 1t hardly seemed possible
that they had been gone any time at

smile that made his face change sud

in a matter of-fact way, and they
walked down the gangplank with the
crowd, and a second later were stand

looked around little bewilderedly.
She hated crowds, and held Wini-
fred's small gloved hand in her own
tightly. Warren was bustling them
along, plotting them skilfully through

and kissed tearfully.

recklessness bundled them all into a

Little girls are sure to need practical
aprons, for there will be times when they
will wish to indulge in occupations that
mean soil and frocl1s must be protected.
This one can be made absolutely plain
and serviceable, with long sleeves and
pockets, or more elaborate and dainty
by being cut with square neck and made
without sleeves and without The pockets.
For the former treatment, the
ginghams and percales make the
best materials, but for the sleeveless
model, any dainty apron material such
as crossbarred, plain or embroidered
muslin is liked. There are only
three pieces, plain front and plain
backs, and the long sleeves are
gathered at the shoulders and again at
the wrists. For the cooking school or for
any similar occasion, the apron shown on
the figure is really perfect. The sleeveless
apron with square neck is dainty and
charming for school and other occasions.
For the IL year size will be required AZ
yds. of material 27 in. wide, 8 yds. 36,
with $s yd. 27, for collar and trimming.
The pattern No. 1894 is cut in sizes
from 8 to IA years. 1t will be mailed to
any address by the Fashion Department
OF this paper. on receipt of ten cents.
