"With reports from the schools, the Multnomah Club and numerous indus trial and trade divisions yet to come in, giving the approximate number of members wno will join the prepared ness parade Saturday, June 3, General Charles F. Beebe, the grand marshal, has arranged for the formation of the first five divisions, which will include 14,125 marchers. " This is only a partial report, and when the other organizations that are coming in send their statements as to the number of participants they will have, new divisions will be added, and it is predicted that the present num ber listed nearsy will be doubled. The various divisions will form at the points announced in the orders of the grand marshal at 7 o'clock Satur day night, and the parade will move at 7:30 o'clock sharp. Advertising? Banners Barred. In addition to the trade, professional, fraternal and club divisions that are being arranged, one division, under .Captain A. W. Orton. will be opened to those who are unattached to any particular organization. Mr. Orton re quests all who desire to march in this division to arrange to be at the point of formation, at Tenth and Mont gomery streets, on the west side of the street, at 7 o'clock on the night of the parade. While commercial and advertising features will be strictly barred from the parade, each division will be at liberty to carry slogan banners as it may desire, expressing its sentiments on preparedness. Counting machines are to be used. and after the parade a report of the number of marchers in each division will be published. In the organization for the parade it has been arranged to conform with the ideas exemplified in the preparedness paradej held in New York May 13, in which the New York National Guard was the only organization in military uniform in the parade, and it marched at the rear of the column. Civic Feature to Predominate. This formation was directed because of the desire to subordinate the mill tary to the civic feature in the patriotic preparedness demonstration. . The Ore gon National Guard, therefore, will take a position in the rear of the strictly civil organizations, but will precede all other military organizations in the column. . - Representatives of the committee conferred with the public school prin cipals, and full co-operation has been promised from them. There are 6000 high school pupils in the city, and heavy representation from them is ex pected also. General Beebe announced yesterday the following appointments on his staff and the formation planned for thefirst five divisions in the parade. Forma tion for other divisions will be an nounced by him as soon as made. Lieutenant-Colonel George D. Wlllett. A. A. CJ. and chief of staff; H. L. Idleman, Captain F. F. Freeman, B. Xoustadter.

Ten fifers have volunteered already to serve the big fife and drum corn which H. G. Terry is organizing to fea ture in the preparedness parade Satur day night. But Mr. Terry wants more, and ac cordingly requests all fifers and drum mers who desire to join the. corps to IING a paean of American Bigness and Achievement! Here is pre-eminently, incomparably, superlatively the Land of SUCCESS the richest land the freest land the land of BIG OPPORTUNITIES! Think of it! v . A hundred million people the largest and most populous republic in history. with the highest annual income of any nation in the world. (Not less than'25 or 30 billions of dollars. The mind can't grasp it) More than that of any other two nations, more than Great Britain and Germany combined ! The greatest production of GRAIN, COTTON, IRON, STEEL, COPPER, OIL. and heaps of other things. . -More railroad lines than all the rest of the world put together. An internal commerce greater than the whole world's international trade. More steel buildings than on-all the rest of the globe. Twice the banking capital of any other nation, almost as much as all Europe combined. ... More automobiles than all the rest of the world put together. More farm tractors than on all the rest of the earth. More motor-boats, more telephones, more magazines and newspapers, more miles of telegraphs, more public libraries, more school houses, more sewing machines, more phonographs! The first real republic in the widest, freest sense ! The only nation that spends more on education than on armies and navies nearly 500 millions a year ! And all this from a slender colony of farmers fighting for, existence on the shores of the Atlantic less than a century and a half ago! Nothing like it in all the world's history. How did it come? Because of that act of Massachusetts Colony in 1674 . which gave to the world the first example of universal and free education. And along with alT this has gone the other big fact the United States has bought more BOOKS and paid more for them than any other two nations in history, and for one single great work of reference it has paid more than 60 million dollars the "work that from the days of George Washington to the present time has been the fore most work of its kind, in any language THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA. The astonishing sale of the Encyclopaedia Britannica in the United States the fact that not less than 14 or 15 million volumes of this great work have been sold here cannot have been without a real and decisive influence in American life. A It is still more remarkable that for the latest issue, the new Eleventh Edition, a larger sum has already been paid by the people of the United States alone than for all other large encyclopaedias ever printed in the English language. . IN the ears of Dick Vhittington sang the Bow Bells of old London calling him! 1 And in the ears of most every American boy (and many American girls, too) has rung the same call to achievement, to adventure, to a larger life,: to the American ideal SUCCESS. It still rings. It is calling to twenty million boys and girls of fifty states eager to carry on the true American tradition: High pressure, high wages, high deeds, invention, resourcefulness the bound-to-get-there determination. , What has been the mainspring behind this American VIM? One great factor has been the wide dissemination of education, knowledge, books! Universal education, paid for by all the people is an AMERICAN idea, and America's GREATEST contribution to civilization; for it was the pioneer idea which-led to the foundation of the American Republic. This American idea has now spread all over the world; but America is still far in the lead. No other nation has ever spent such tremendous sums on education. Nowhere else is the general average of intelligence so high. In no other country oh earth have so many books been sold. Of Shakespeare, of Macaulay, of Darwin, of Herbert Spencer, of Dickens, of LordBryce practically every great English writer -Jive or ten times as many volumes have been sold in America as in all the rest of the world. Still more remarkable has been the unprecedented diffusion of works of universal information encyclopaedias and the like. Of a single work more copies, with a total of a larger number of volumes have been sold than the combined sale of all other large works of reference in every language on earth, since books began to be printed. Needless to say what work has had this amazing distribution, for there is ; only one work like it in all the world THE ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA. In the 148 years of its existence, the Encyclopaedia Britannica has had a total sale, in volumes, exceeding that of any other book ever published, save . the English Bible, and perchance Shakespeare. This total, for the eleven editions N since 1768, now reaches the staggering figure of more than a million sets, or far above 20,000,000 volumes. And the total paid for them exceeds a hundred million dollars! Of the total sale of the Britannica since 1768, more than two-thirds has been in the United States alone. . And of the new Eleventh Edition, more than three-quarters, to date, have been sold in this country. Its million schoolhouses, its 1500 colleges and universities, and the wide distribution of the Britannica and countless other smaller compends of knowledge have made the American people what they are the most resourceful, the most inventive, the most progressive people on earth. A Wonderful. Bargain SoonClosed So long as the new Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was to be had only in the expen sive Cambridge . University issue there was ample excuse why many homes should go without it. Now there is none. ' k ..... . , We believed this splendid work ought to be in every wide-awake family in the United States and we were so convinced of the possibilities in a cheaper edition that we arranged with the pub- - lishers of the Britannica to make for us a new issue, absolutely the same as the Cambridge University issue, unabridged, unchanged, except for the size of page and type. And we con tracted with them for a huge printing, probably the largest single printing order ever given in this country. -This issue we offer now at one-third the price charged for the Cambridge University issue; and we . send you the complete work, the entire 29 volumes, upon receipt of a single dollar the balance in small monthly payments. But this is not all. We knew there would be a great number of people who could not believe that we could offer the complete new Eleventh. Edition at such a price and on such terms. There was only one way really to convince them. That was for them to see the books. Therefore we make this offer: We send you the books when yeu have paid a single dollar and you may then keep them three weeks, use them freely, examine them and find out their worth to you. Then, if for any reason whatsoever, you do not wish to keep them, you may send them back, and without any question, we will refund the dollar you have paid and shipping charges as weH. But you must take advantage of this offer now if you wish to obtain this new "Handy Volume" Issue on these prices and terms. We had hoped to go on selling the Britannica at these prices indefinitely. But the war has come and brought a great scarcity into many lines of trade and forced prices to prohibitive ' figures. The publishers now notify us that they cannot supply us with any more sets at these prices after those which we have contracted for are delivered. There is just time to send fdr the beautiful 130-page book about the new Britannica and our new issue. We advise you to send your name without fail to-day. J. The K. Gill Co.
