IT'S LIKE A JOURNEY
TO OTHER LANDS
Illustrated Bible offered by The Re
former Reveals Geographical Won
ders-Six Hundred Pictures.

Most of us know the boundaries of
our own state, or least our own coun-
ty, but we little realize the educational
value to be gained from an occasional
hour devoted to reading of other lands.
Take, for instance, Palestine, which
is described as a narrow strip of coun-
try at the eastern end of the Mediter-
ranean sea. stretching north and south
$40 miles, and from 30 to 40 miles east
and west, covering in its entirety IN
area of only 1000 square miles. Why,
most of our states cover from FIVE to
ten times as much space, the state of
Texas alone containing more than 90
times the area of Palestine
Of all the lands of the earth, Pales-
tine is one of the most interesting, for
in this small country originated a vol
ume that is familiar to alI-the Bible.
1t has often been a question of wonder
ment that such a small portion Of our
earth could be instrumental in produc-
ing work so universally known. And
yet small countries have given to the
world some of its greatest treasures.
Take for instance Greece. England,
Italy and Egypt; all Of them are small.
yet they have been world leaders in
some one or another characteristic.
Today there is not a place on our
planet which is more thoroughly stud
led and known than this 200 square
miles of Palestine. Even in our own
surveyed. Our biologists have gone
through the rocks, botanists have
gathered and classified its plants, and
biologists have collected and arranged
its animals. Maps have been made that
show every mountain, valley. lake and
river, rs well as cities and villages.
In Palestine are to he found all the
rock formations, as well rs all of tn 4,
fora and fauna known to this earth.
Between the high attitudes Of its noun
tains with their perpetual snow and
tepid waters of the Salt sea. every eli
mate is experienced. in which there is
every living thing that is known to the
earth. So it has been truthfullv said
that Palestine is the whole world in n
nutshell.
BY reading the foregoing. one may
get a slight glimpse of the interesting
knowledge set forth in the New Illus
trated Bible, which is being distributed
by The Reformer. This magnificent
volume contains 600 text illustrations
prepared by the world S greatest ar
fist at the enormous cost of 500. 900,
aside from the numerous full-page col.
ored plates from the famous Tissot col
lection. Every picture accurately por-
trays a scene that throws a true light
on the particular subject which it ac-
companies. Some Bibles lay claim to
illustrations, where they simply
have "pictures inserted at random,
without regard to the subjects These
may be said to entitle the volume to
the word illustrated - but it must be
admitted that they have no educational
value, inasmuch as they have no bearing
ON particular subjects which they ac-
company The New Illustrated Bible
which the Reformer distributes is the
only one that truly illustrates the exact
subject related to it i'll position as well
as in matter.

WHEAT MARKET BULLISH
ON WEATHER PROSPECTS

CHICAGO. January 12.-Prospects Of
a severe cold wave had a bullish effect
today on wheat. It was apparently
feared by many traders that the drop
in temperatures would result in serious
damage to the winter crop, especially
in sections where there was a lack
of protection by snow. Higher quota
lions from Liverpool counted also
against the bears.
Prices here, after opening 4 to1h
up, with May at 1.2sA to 1.2s and July
at 1.1sN to 40. scored slight further
advance.
Corn Prices Harden.
Corn hardened in value owing to
chances that the unsettled weather
would delay the movement of the crop.
The market touched the topmost
prices yet this season. Opening fig
y higher. were followed by a little
further advance. and then a moderate
reaction.
Oats rose with other grain. What
selling there was came chiefly from
resting orders
Higher prices on hogs lifted pro-
visions. Considerable attention. too,
was given to the advance in corn and
to the active demand from Canada for
dressed hogs.
Packers sold on the advance. Grain
traders who have been heavy buyers
of provisions recently were also con-
spicuous sellers.
Additional wheat gains ensued. owing
to talk that conditions were somewhat
rhe same as those which produced
widespread ice pack in the fields and
largely wiped out the soft wheat crop
of 1912. Besides gossip of liberal ex-
port business was current The close
