 One of the best reviews of MT. Dreiser's Hey Rub, a-Dub-Dub" says;
 "Phantasmag goria" splits the book in twain. It Is a little cosmic drama in three scenes-"The House of Birth, The House of Life" "The House of Death" It is the via dolorosa of the Lord of the Universe" his agglomer- alton, effulgence in life, and his in- gression. A titanic theme, splendid in conception, prosily executed. This sort of thing must be done by a poet-a Flauhert, Victor Hugo. Swinburne, a Shelley It has been done by the Hlndus thousand times-and who shall do it again?

Appeal From High
School Annual Staff

After two days of laborious talk
ing the business manager of the Daw-
son High School Annual, with five as
sistants, has gotten twelve pages of
advertisements from the local mer-
chants. While matters could be
worse they certainly could be better,
as it is necessary to have at least
twenty pages of advertisements to
bear half Of the expense of the An
nual.
Why we have been turned down by
a good many Dawson firms is more
than we can see. The publishing of
this Annual will widely advertise our
high school and, in doing so, will also
advertise Dawson.
The Americas high school has been
publishing ANIMALS for several years,
and has always received the whole
hearted support Of the Americas bus
mess firms. Can it be said that Amer
icus merchants are more public spirit
ed than those of Dawson? Will not
those firms who have not given adj
vertisements aid US in securing the
necessary eight pages?
AS a business proposition we feel
that this advertising will bring re-
suits. There are to be at least 200
copies of this Annual, and we feel
sure that the numerous supporters of
our school will take much interest in
these, our first ANIMALS, and read
them from cover to cover, and the
firms advertising in our ANIMALS may
be sure that they will be noted and
recognized as the firms who have the
welfare of our school and our city
at heart.
We feel sure that our alumni,
among whom are some of the most
prominent men of Dawson, especially
will respond to our appeal. D. H. S.

The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment in
labor saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops en-
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth Of railroadS-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the worlds markets.
The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.
