CIRCUML0CUT|ON IS
N0LoNGER NEEDED
True American Directness and
Brevity At Last Applied to
English Composition.

In days Of long ago, if the red man
wanted to ask a neighbor for
the loan OF few potatoes and an
onion for the dop soup he was pre-
pairing, he was likely to commence
with a few desultory remarks about
the stars in Heaven, his mistaken idea
about the moon, throw in a few par
agraphs about the happy hunting
grounds Of the future and the fine
weather of the present, and then slide
in the modest request for a donation.
so that If the neighbor was not follow
ing the line of conversation closing
the potatoes and onion would be en-
tirely obscured in the verbiage.
No matter what he had to say, the
Indian beat around the bush" in
making talk, and that Is possibly the
one reason why he never got anywhere
and swas badly trampled on in the
march OF progress, because it took
him SO long time to let any one know
that he was being hurt.
Now, the people who helped push
Poor Lo" off the earth, as it were.
were more forceful in their utterances
and their descendants are even more
so.
The modern American" has no time
to circurhlocute and wants to speak
with brevity and to listen to those
only who are brief. but does not want
one word Of Importance sacrificed.
To fill this need, Everybody's Cy-
clopedia was designed, and that is
why it is. now in great demand in
Augusta. It says what it has to say
briefly and to the point. Waste words
have been eliminated. CLIP one coupon
from the announcement in another
column Of this issue and present it
today to the Journal office, who is
distributing this wonderful set to its
readers.
