Judge C. 17. Gantenbein. chair

Charles F. Beebe. Dan J. Ma
larkey, E. C. Fettingell. Nathan
Strauss. A. L. Mills and George

fully set forth.
"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.

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.
