Mr.. Stulp's review is SO nice.
You can tell he is, a regular union
book reviewer--he uses the words
gripping convincing etc. And
he rays 1t is 100 per cent American.
That's what we want.
Lives there a man with soul so
dead, who never to himself hath
said, This is a 100 per cent Amer
lean bookT Who would buy a 100
per cent Czecho-Slovak book? Or
Lithuanian? Who could read It?

about dear Minerva Grace
Hoganne, now.
Dear Min, as they used to call
her on Mulberry street before she
quit binding books to write them
how We love this dear girl. She is
so interesting that you never notice
her game eye or her slightly o
expression below the knees.
Some day, when she grows up
she's only forty-two-she will know
how to write, maybe, II she can ever
get them to admit her to night
school.
She is so sweet that the last
time she was arrested for shoplift.
ing they only gave her thirty days.
'Yon know. she Is One OF Us.
And Us Girls Have to Stick To
gcther. So will say that she is
awfully nice. She Is so nice that
she doesn't. know anything. Nice
people never do. ". ...
We have always thought the best
thing about Min is her name.
Minerva Grace-it sound like tea
room. And Hoganne! The final ne
stands for Nopby Ending. II you
saw Min'you'd know what name she
was born with.
"But we can't say enough about
Min darling. So we will conclude
by saying that she is pretty-awful.
Don't forget. Us Girls Must
Stick Together"
So there. now. You have all
three reviews. Before the book
was written. Something never be-
fore attempted by any literary de-
partment anywhere. Never before,
nor again.
But we did it. You get Service

Here is little surprise. You
didn't think we would give you two
surprises at one time, did you?
But that's the way we are-always
planning nice little things for you
like this.
We got another author to review
Mr.. Stulp's review Of Mr.. Stulp's
book. She doesn't quite agree with
Stulp. This author is Minerva
Grace Hoganne. She hasn't read
the book, Of course. 1t hasn't been
written. But she doesn't know that.
She would write the same review
II she had read 1t. Only more so.
She is noted for her highly imag-
inative work and she also is an en-
} ploye OF the Interborough. When
she isn't chopping tickets she writes
those cute little things In The Sub
way Sun. Her circulation is almost
as big as Mr.. Stulp's. Sunday only.
There isn't room on week days to
see what she has written.
Here's her low-down on Stulp:

We positively guarantee that the

As usual. we let the author re.
view his own book. This is the
most satisfactory method-for the
author.
Just a word about this particular

have said This here" author.

things he writes all the tickets for

three miles southeast Of town.
Mr.. Ship is very interested in the
Lubbock country as a cotton pro-
Queer, and expressed himself as be
ing absolutely opposed TO shipping
cotton seed from the wevil infected
fields to east Texas 70 the plains, as
in his opinion there Is some proba-
bilify Of bringing the insects here.
He believes that there is little diff

from seed obfainable on local mar
kets and the longer stable, owing q
the short season and dry weather Of
The plains. "The differenae be-
tween long and short staple Is a
