A high bridge at St. Jolins is
only a matter of a very few
years. It is somcthimr that is
bound to happen, but its coming
can be greatly advanced if some

The people of St. Johns have
again emphntieally demonstrated
that they uo not want parks.
The attitude of the city in this

HERB are many books of almost priceless value
books by the old masters, single copies of which
have often brought thousands of dollars. But
most coveted of all, is that precious book the con
tents of which bespeaks its owner's independence,
influence and power. The edition is unlimited
and a copy awaits every man and woman who is
thrifty enough to get together as little as five dollars,
the presentation of which at this bank will entitle
the bearer to Volume 1 of the most useful book on
earth. An account once started- Chapter No. 1
will soon attract towards it other chapters (of real
cash), and you will soon find that your book offers
unlimited possibilities for the founding of an inde
pendent fortune. "The Best Book'' now awaits
