MICA, Handy Volume" Issue, printed on
genuine India paper, as there is between the
stage coach of 1897 and the Philadelphia
Express of 1917; between the horse and
carriage, travelling eight miles an hour, and
the modern motor, travelling so miles an
hour; between the sailing vessel and the
ocean steamship
If you want the old-fashioned stage coach-horse
and carriage-Sailing vessel kind of an Encyclo-
paedia Britannica you need not be in any hurry to
buy now. You can get the heavy, bulky thick
paper Britannica at any time
But if you want the modern Handy
Volume" Encyclopedias Britannica, printed on
genuine India paper you must order at once.
The sets of the Handy Volume" Britannica,
printed on genuine India paper, now in stock are
all that we can get. These are going at the rate
of more than 1000 sets week. The end of this
sale is almost here When the last set is sold no
one will be able to buy the Britannica in this, its
handieStform, at tanyprice. Nor more can be printed
We cannot get another set from the publishers be-
cause they positively cannot get any more of the
genuine India paper. No more India paper can be
made because two necessary raw materials
from Belgium, Germany or Ireland and hemp from
RuSSia-becauSe of the war, are now absolutely
unobtainable, and no more can be secured for
many years.
Note:-This also means that more of the Cambridge
University issue OF the Britannica and Century Dictionary
can be had on genuine India paper
We could probably sell many thousands more
sets of the Handy Volume" Issue of The En-
cyclopaedia Britannica if we could get them. AS
this sale nears the end we are receiving, daily,
thousands of inquiries asking for information about
the "Handy Volume" Britannica on this wonderful
India paper.
When we announce the last day on which orders
can possibly be filled we know that many orders
will be sent in that we cannot supply sets for.

10000 SOLDIERS TO GO
FROM KENTUCKY

Kentucky will be called upon to
furnish to the Federal army under
the call for 100000 men approx
mately 10000; from this number
will be deducted the number now in
Kentucky national guard.
During the second year of the
war, should the second million of
men be called for Kentucky would
have to furnish full 90 900 men.
This number is on the basis of
1900 for each Congressional dis
trict of the State.
1t is the plan to take first those
who are now twenty five years old,
after that, if necessary to secure
the desired number, those twenty
four years old.
Those who are married, or who
have other persons dependent upon
them for support, or those who
are especially disqualified, will
not be taken.
