A Wonderful New Volume

THE publishers Of the Encyclopaedia Britannica
i announce that they have made arrangements
for the issue, soon after the end Of the war as
possible, Of new volume, containing a full and
authoritative history Of the war.
The volume will be written by scholars and
experts of the same high character as those who
wrote for the Britannica itself, and by many of it's
own contributors. 1t will be absolutely impartial,
excluding all partisan feeling and prejudice. 1t
will contain
l. A judicial account of the real causes of the
war, the progress of the struggle, and the results
all over the world; with maps, as necessary, to
show changes in boundaries.
2. The lives Of the new leaders, whether civil,
military or naval, in the belligerent countries.
3. The results Of the war outside the sphere
Of fighting, the progress of surgery, the preven-
ton of contagious disease, the new scientific
discoveries, etc
The new volume will bridge the gap between
the days Of peace before and after the war. II will
be printed and bound to match the Britannica and
the publishers guarantee that no matter how diff
cult and costly the supplementary volume may be
from the editorial point of view, the price of 1t to
all who purchase the Britannica during the present
sale will not be more than that Of corresponding
volume of the Britannica.

All cigar dealers in Springdale have

All cigar dealers in Springdale have
raised the price of the ordinary scent
cigar to 6 cents, and this is the price
whether you buy one cigar or box.
Formerly most scent cigars were
six for a quarter. The dealers claim
this increase in price is due to the war
tax, and that dealers in other towns
have made like increase. AS the
war tax and other increase in cost
will not amount to one-half cent on
each cigar, it would seem that the
consumer is not only paying the war
tax but is also paying the dealer a
very good profit above what he for
merly received.
