Philadelphia.
The forty-eiohth year Of con-
tinuous publications brings us the
1916 edition Of this comprehen-
sive reviewed. the American news
paper and magazine field. The
book is full Of valuable informa-
ton for all who have dealings
with periodical publications of
every type. The facts and figures.
descriptive of each of the 24,589
publications listed are presented
in a most complete, yet condensed
and get-at-able form.
AS always, special attention has
been given to the important mat
ter of circulation figures.
Supplementary to the general
catalogue are 232 classified lists,
including dailies, magazines, wo-
mems, mail order, agricultural,
religious, and all the various
trade and class publications, COW
ering almost every field of human
effort and interest, each class
listed under its own head.
The care expended on keeping
this section abreast of the times
indicated by some of its lists:
Aeronautics, Moving Pictures, Es-
peranto, Safety, Anti Tuberculo-
sis, Woman Suffrage, Anti-Suf-
frage, a list of journals in raised
type for the blind, etc. The for
eign language lists, ranging from
Arabic to Yiddish, are under So
separate heads.
An especially valuable feature
is a vast amount of up-to-date
gazetteer information, giving the
latest population figures and the
transportation, banking and other
facilities in each of the 1852
towns in which newspapers are
published, together with the lead
ing industries, productions and
other features of the place and
vicinity. This descriptive matter
is supplemented by a specially
prepared map of each state, show
ing practically every newspaper
ii each town. Convenience and
c]onciseness have been studied
throughout, and the book places
at the disposal of publishers, of
advertisers, of business men, of
students, librarians, ETC., a vast
amount of fresh Information not
to be procured elsewhere.
The Annual and Directory is
now the only publication of its
kind which is compiled from in
formation gathered with such
thoroughness each year from orig
inal sources. Mr.. Geo. P. Rowell
was the first to compile such a
work, and for many years he
issued the American Newspaper
Directory. Following his death,
with its records, copyrights and
property, was sold to N. w. Aper
& Son, who combined it with
their well-known Annual.

supply cannot be increased at will
as crops and metals are, but is de-
pendent on the hide supply; and
cattle are not killed, primarily, for
their hides.
The latest census reports show
that the cattle population has de-
creased 20 per cent in the last ten
years, and the population has in
creased the same per centage.
Shoes, therefore, are to be more
expensive. It is said that the in
crease for the present will be
about 20 per cent, but will likely
be more by next fall-The Shoe

The PeopIe Paw.

The people of the United States are
paying wal prices for q great many ar
ticles of everyday use because those
articles are not produced at home. In
other words, they are having q prac-
teal demonstration at SO much per of
the democratic free trade idea. The
idea Is that we ought to buy where we
can buy cheapest. 1t may have worked
in the old days, but it doesn't work
now, because all the cheap sources Of
supply are closed. If the old Repub-
iican idea Of protecting industry in II
own country had been followed con
siStently for the last ten or fifteen
years we should have had factories
busy in the production of all these
things, and our people would be able
to purchase them at reasonable prices.
Right now the mistake of abandoning
the theory of protection is costing the
people Of this country more than it
costs any European nation to do its
part in the war.-Yakima Republic.

in financial troubles, which was pretty
often, he could count upon the assist
ance Of Mr.. Tryon, a benevolent ancient
man Of wealth. Tryon never refused
him money, but didn't hand out as
much as the colonel thought was nee
essary. Mr.. Tryon's mind ran on shil-
lings, while that of the colonel ran on
pounds. In those days, as in our own
times, the man who makes q business
OF high Wassail needs a large income,
and the colonel's embarrassments grew
and multiplied. He realized that q
good haul was necessary to get him out
OF his difficulties. The idea of robbing
Mr. Tryon at once occurred to him. Of
course 1t was rather mean to pillage
a man who had befriended him so
much, but no good business man allows
sentiment to interfere with commerce.
SO it happened that on the night of
January s, Mr.. Tryon woke from q
deep dream of peace to find a huge
masked figure bending over his bed.
The figure held a lanthorn in one hand,
ana a horse pistol, about the size of a
hltchlng post, in the other. While this
intruder stood guard, a second robber

ers ransacked the premises and carried
away $4,000 in money, and jewelry to
the value Of $4,000. After two or
three hours of misery, Mr.. Tryon man
aged to free himself of the gag, and
yelled so shrilly that the night
watch came to his relief.
The robbery remained a mvsterv for
ABOUT twenty-four hours. 1t hannened
