Ferguson purchased the two-ton elephant from Clyde Beatty, animal trainer, last spring and has been us ing her for farm work on his 1,600 acre plantation near Camden. “Take good care of her,” Ferguson told park officials. “She likes all the hay and vegetables you can provide.

This “briefer course” is edited by Milton Ellis, Professor of English, University of Maine, Louise Pound, Professor of English, University of Nebraska, and George Weida Spohn, Professor of English, St. Olaf Col lege as part of American Literature Series, with Harry Hayden Clark as General Editor. The authors take up Colonial and Eighteenth-Century American Liters ture, The Earlier Nineteenth Cen tury, and The Age of Science and the Machine: Some Contemporary Trends General Bibliography. Index of Authors and Titles. At the outset of the book we find a useful diagram giving the chronology of American writers from 1750-1940, making it quite clear which authors were con temporary and which were not. Much information can be gathered from the Table of Contents,—about the major authors of each period, their dates and some of their major works. This book is difficult to quote from; the book has to be seen to be appre ciated. The one thing that most peo ple overlook is that even though this book is designed as a college textbook it has first rate standing in the hands of all who appreciate good literature. It would be difficult to get a greater value fo. one’s money. Here is his tory, art, literature of the very finest type, mysteries, sermons, plays, phil osophy, and much more too numerous to mention. It is a pity to pass this book by thinking that its value is only for the classroom. Here is a volume for the fireside, for the bed side, for the journey, for the young and for the old.

Although the death rate has been reduced three-fourths since 1907, the first year of the Seal Sale, tuberculosis is still taking more lives between the years of 15 and 45 than any other disease. It kills one person every eight minutes. Newberry, like all other communi ties, has its tuberculosis problem and at least once a year we should in tensify our efforts to help the prob lem. On November 25 every one will be give an opportunity to enroll in the Anti-Tuberculosis fight. Mr. Hendrix, superintendent of schools, has expressed the whole hearted interest of all the County schools in the Christmas Seal Sale. However no seals will be distributed to school children for sale so when you receive your letter containing the Seals do not feel that you can wait and buy them from the children. We will want to share in this great work by purchasing seals, knowing that the money we donate goes to ward making Newberry* County a healthier place for our children.
