100000 Bibles
Printed Annually

Chicago, Jan 31.-More than GEO.
600 600 Bibles, in all languages have
been printed in the world since print
ing was invented in the middle OF
the fifteenth century. According to
George C. Buxton. Chicago publisher,
who presented this interesting esti-
mate at the convention here OF the
Subscription Book Publishers Asso-
citation.
"Approximately 100000 Bibles are
printed in this country and CANADA
annually" said Mr., Buxton, land
35, 600, 900 throughout the world.
assuming as approximately cor
rect that the earth contains 1900
O0O. 600 inhabitants, it is evident that
all the Bibles ever printed would
supply nearly half the individuals of
the globe with a copy and each of
earth's 800 100000 families with more
than two copies. There is, however.
no way of knowing how many Bibles
of the total printed in history are
in existence today and the distrlbu-
ton of the Scriptures, of course, has
not been uniform among nations and
tribes of men.
"There are more exact statistics re-
garding the distribution of Bibles in
the United States. In a population
of is 100000. it is estimated by DIR.
]. S. Kirkbride of the American Bible
Society that about S0,000,000 people
own Bibles. This leaves 35,O00,0O0
who do not possess a copy of the
Scriptures. In a total of 100000
families. 15.S00,000 have Bibles.
"These figures do not reflect with
eXactncss the religious situation. The
American people are inherently re-
ligious. Though there are 100000
families without Bibles, I believe
there are few individuals who at
some time in their lives have not had
Bible instruction or who have not
constant opportunity for reading the
Scriptures"

C. i, CRAWFORD TO
| attend BOSTON MEET
OF YARN MANUFACTURERS

c. H. Crawford, secretary and man
ager of the Maine Sheep and Wool
Growers association left Wednesday
evening for Boston for conference
with the sweater and yarn manufac-
turers. The increased demand for
virgin wool is interesting this asso-
citation and it is quite possible that
quite a portion of the 1928 clip may
be consumed in that way.
The demand for Maine grease
wool is very sharp, Mr.. Crawford de-
clared yesterday, stating that it looks
as if it is a good proposition for the
farmers who have been holding their
clip to interest themselves in the
present prices.
Manufacturers of suiting fabrics
are compelled to use somewhat
smaller percentage of strickly virgin
wool owing to the lack of interest by
the large buyers at prices made
necessary by the continuously ad-
vance in the price of the raw wool.
Owing to the increased popularity of
sweaters, scarfs and all wool stock
ings, there has been a heavy increase
in the demand for yarns of the high
quality.
