"Cashing In on
What You've Got"

FLASHING IN ON WHAT YOU'VE
~ GOT is seductive title. If Mr..
Maurice Switzer should succeed in cashing
in on what you're got to the extent Of one
buck--the price of his bookshelf get
what he deserves, while you'll probably
get more than you expect.
The book is a collection of essays, fables
and epigrams-obviously the essence of
an active life distilled BY means Of keen
observation and favored with fine sense
of humor. Whether Mr.. Switzer became
advertising manager Of big corporation
because he was an optimist, or whether
optimism led him to his eminence, is
neither here nor there. The fact sufices
that he is both, and that his forcible and
optimistic personality is leaping at You
from every page of his little book, which
should serve as an admirable tonic to the
weary business man or anybody else look
ing for Intellectual exhilaration.
1t is mighty entertaining and absolutely
free from preaching. Moreover, it will
help you cash in on what you've got. No
book could do more.

Sun Readers
and Humor

We feel sure that readers of Books
and the Book World have keen APP
probation of humor; so we want to
tell you of new book which is the
real thing in provoking laughter. This
book is BILLY AND THE MAJOR, a Sc
quel to Miss Minerva and William
Green Hill. The latter was published
in 1909, and over 100000 copies have
been sold-24th edition just pub
lished. These facts attest the popu-
larity of the earlier book.
Billy and the Major starts where
Mss Minerva leaves off. The same
drollery and comedy of childhood
that made Miss Minerva so popular is
to be found in Billy. You will chuckle
over the pranks and innocent rascal
tiles of "the most delightful group Of
youngsters in the literature of our
day''-Billy, fat little Jimmy Garner,

Norman Duncan's Corking Last Stories

A GOOD sea tale that finds enthu-
4 \ siastic welcome among the most
hopelessly deskbound inlanders. Norman
Duncan wrote good sea tales, so that his
death two years ago was loss to modern
fiction. Two recently published volumes,
Battles Royal Dorm North and Hdrbor
Tales Do,cn North, contain his final
stories.
Norman Duncan was a versatile and
talented man, with a varied literary ex-
perience. He had served as reporter.
copy editor, special writer, and editor of
the Saturday supplement of the New
York Evening Post. He was for while
assistant professor of English and pro
fessor of rhetoric at Washington and JEFF
ferson College, and later adjunct profess
sor of English at the University of Kan
sas. He was a short story writer of
originality and charm, his first sketches,
rejecting the life Of the Syrian quarter
in New York, appearing in the Atlantic
Monthly and in McClure's Magasine. He
travelled in various lands as special cor
respondent for McClure's and Harper's.
The Recorder of Labrador. I.
1t was on his visits to Newfoundland
and the coast of Labrador that he gath
cred material for the best of his work,
stories of ice and storm and sea, records
Of the epic struggles and homely dramas
of the fisher folk of the wild north He
was closely associated with DR.. Wilfred
7. Grenfell and his mission, and de-
scribed the work done there in various
stories, as Dr.. Luke of the Labrador, DR..
GrenfelPs Parish, and others. DR..
Grenfell writes an appreciation for these
last books, expressing his admiration
and affection for Norman Duncan.
These two final volumes are interest
ingly cOntrasted, >yet similar. Battles
Royal Down North contains for the most
part tales of adventure in the frozen
wilderness of land or ice, of strife with
the terrible sea and the pitiless cold. The
characters are human and real with their
sturdy courage, their undaunted accept
ance of whatever fate brings to them,
their somewhat limited intelligence and
their unlimited energy.
A Grim Lottery, perhaps the best
story in this collection, has a gruesome
inevitability that the reader will not for
get Snow Blind is moving story of
suffering and suspense in a wilderness
of snow. The Ultimate Economy tells
of a group of men stranded in a bitter
storm, with one match with which to
light fire to keep alive. The Law in
His Dun Hands illustrates a rude
working out of justice. At Grips With
Ice is story of conditions excessively
unlike the recent temperatures in Man
haitian.
The men in these stories are hfelike,
but the dogs are still more SO. The
huskie dogs are the most impressive char
acters in the book, the most coldly ter
rifying, the most tragically appealing.
However much men may suffer in the
frozen north the dog his slave and
pack animal, suffers more. However
much man may rebel at the harsh con-
ditions Of existence there, the dog rebels
still more. And at times, moved by q

with the rest, and it seemed to Tall that
he must have known the fate that was
in store for him when he had followed
the pack. He was a wolf-he knew the
customs Of the pack in a pass like that.
He had practised them with his own
teeth and heart-tearing the weak and
old to shreds."

export surplus of flour for the allies.
the food administration is considering
a plan of forced reduction in flour
sales all the way from the miller to
the consumer. Millers, wholesalers,
retailers and bakers will probably be
required to hold the sale of flour down
to rs per cent of the amount now
handled.

food administration has arranged to
take over 80 per cent of the American
flour production out of which are to
be selected the supplies for export.
The food administration believes the
United States can give Europe 90,000,-

new American crops come in without

BUY SM|LEAGE BOOKS
FOR BOYS IN CAMP
PLAN LAUNCHED TO FURNISH THE
MEN IN TRAINING DECENT
SHOWS

H. D. Martin, who was recently ap-
pointed county chairman of the mil
itary entertainment council, whose
duties consist in making soldiers
hours spent away from camp more
pleasant, says that during the week
beginning January 28 and ending
February 2, $4,000 worth of ''Smilage
Books" will be sold in Idaho.
The books come in 81 and SIS de-
nominations. They are in the form OF
coupons, a 81 book containing 20 cou-
pons each one OF which VIII admit the
holder to an entertainment, either
theater, vaudeville concert, lecture or
home talent entertainment.
When it is understood that the en-
tertainments furnished the soldiers by
this method for 10 cents are the same
entertainments which one pays ordi-
narily from 81 to $3.50 to hear, the
worth of them will be readily appre-
ciated. The idea is for friends to
buy these books and send them to the
boys at the camps.
Latah county is expected to raise
5000 as her apportionment. Mr.. Mar
tin thinks there will be no difficulty
in raising this amount, it is felt sure.

say:
Although our own state has been

blind us to the conditions that prevail

save coal everywhere and in all con.
ceivable ways, we will sacrifice our
efficiency to our ease.

as that we are making in occasional

SCISSORS of the back guard and running
guard position on the university bas-
ket ball team, will probably be. able to
start tomorrow's affray with Montana s
fast and clever quintet but in spite of
that fact the varsity's chances are un-
derstood to be none too luminous.
The Bruins outclassed Washington
State college last night in the first
half Of their opening game Of their
series at Pullman, losing by margin
of one point to a succession of bad
breaks, and they are expected to
trounce Boilers aggregation this
evening.
A scrutiny of comparative scores
form gives Idaho an advantage Of
five points over the Montanans on the
basis of last nights contest and the
final games between Whitman and
Washington State and the Missionar-
les and Idaho but that edge is quite
likely to be completely eradicated at
Pullman tonight
