VANCOUVER, Wash., Juno 12. (Spe
cial.) The cost of a marriage license
in the state of Washington is $4.50
rather high, some think and when a
couple came here to be married, today
all went smoothly until it came time
to pay the real money for the state's
permit to wedded happiness. And then
well, read on:
George E. Hart, 42 years old, of
Portland, a cook by profession, accom
panied by Miss Minnie Bruley, a plump,
auburn-haired damsel of 19 Summers,
appeared at the Courthouse this after
noon, and they finally found the mar
riage license counter. Mrs. May R.
Haack, County Auditor, took down the
necessary Information and Issued the
license.
"That will be $4.50." she said, hand
ing the precious paper to Mr. Hart.
Pocket Contains Only 4.20.
What! J4.60," he repeated, and when
being assured his ears had not deceived
him, he began taking money out of his
pockets until he had It all, and the
total was $4.20.
"Have you any change on you?" he
asked the witness, Al Lowendahl, who
was beginning to feel a little nervous
for his friends. He thrust his hand into
his pocket and all he could find was a
quarter, making the total then $4.45.
The bride-to-be, eager to have the
suspense ended, said. "Wait a minute,"
and stepped into the hall.
It Is presumed she cashed & sight
draft on the First National Bank while
In the corridor, because she returned
Baying triumphantly, "I have the Jit
ney." and put down the nickel to make
the total $4.60.
Judsre Fonnd BnT.
With the license, the trio left the
Auditor's office and It was found Judge
Back was busy. The brldegroom-to-be
planned to go to a friend's home here
and get the money for the performance
of the marriage ceremony, but the girl
did not like this procedure and stoutly
maintained she would not walk back to
the Courthouse today.
They started towards the ferry and,
attracted by the name - of Rev. E. I
Benedict, pastor of the First Presbyte
rian. Church, sauntered in. The parson
was obliging, and performed the cere
mony, the bridegroom saying he is to
be employed as cook at Denny's restau
rant at Third and Washington streets.
After the ceremony the bride said
that she had told her husband-to-be,
when he was coming over' from Port
land, that he ought to take along
enough money when she learned he
had drawn but $4.50 on his salary. She
said men can be stubborn at times.
He said he thought the license would
not cost more than $2, so estimated he
would have ample funds to make his
wedding trip and get manrled.

at an unprecedentedly low price was all created before

The Tremendous Cost of the New
Eleventh Edition f
It seems almost unbelievable to say that a million and a
half dollars could be spent on any single set of books (espe
cially if these books were to be sold for a total of fifty or sixty
dollars) . ' Only one work in the whole history of publishing
has ever cost so much and that is the. new Eleventh Edition or
the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
It cost this enormous sum first of all because it is a work of
the highest authorities -a every field of human knowledge. It
could nave been compiled by hack writers for a tenth this
sum; but it would not have been the Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The contributing staff includes representatives from
81 different universities in 21 different countries, and from 65
other colleges, a total of over 700 university and college experts.
And all of these have won distinction in their especial fields.
The 1500 contributors furnished a total of over 40, 000 articles.
Every one of these 40,000 articles had to be verified, edited,
compressed and trimmed into its allotted space. Thousands
of these articles were submitted to two or more experts for
revision and criticism.
It is this sort of patience and thoroughness and prodigal
outlay which has made the Encyclopaedia Britannica the one
work of its kind in all the world. If you buy anything else
you buy something inferior something cheaply made, just
to sell.
A Library To Be Proud Of
If you have a taste for a smartly kept home
whether large or small
if in that home you have a well-selected collection
of books whether it be large or small
if in your conversation you reveal a knowledge of
books and events and history
and It your children are bright and well-informed
you inevitably gain distinction in the eyes of your
neighbors and your friends. .
Towards all this the possession of the Encyclopaedia
Britannica contributes immensely. Everyone knows
that it is the greatest reference work in the world
the highest authority the last word.
From it you can cultivate as richly stored a mind
as most people get from the finest university training
(and the odd thing to it is that the 41,000
articles of the Britannica form a mine of in
teresting reading as well) .
A dollar, with the order form adjoining, brings
you the complete work.

What Every Woman Should Know
Irrthese days of Woman's Clubs, Suffrage meetings, Better
Mothers, Better Babies, and Better Homes, the modern woman
must be far better "prepared" than the woman of former times.
But very few women have any real chance to gain a
thorough education or really to learn much. Not one woman
in 200 in the United States goes to college.
This is just why the Encyclopaedia Britannica has been
such a splendid uplift and aid to many brilliant women, and to
lots of others who just want to know a little more than they
do. Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, President of the National
Council of Women, says that her children were very largely
brought up on the Encyclopaedia Britannica and that she her
self owes to it an immense debt.
In hundreds of women's club! it has already become known
as an unfailing source of reference in debates and discussions.
Actually many women's clubs have purchased it.
Almost every woman in the land can now own the newest
edition of the Britannica in the daintiest and most attractive
form in which this or any other encyclopaedia was ever issued.
And the volumes of the Britannica lend an unusual stamp
of distinction and refinement to every home in which they are
found.
A Miracle of Compactness
If you are familiar with the older issue of the En
cyclopaedia Britannica, you instinctively think of it as
a huge work in 25 to 35 volumes, occupying eight
feet or so on your bookshelves.
The 29 volumes of the new "Handy Volume" Issue
take up only 32 inches on the bookshelf andL weigh
only about 50 pounds.
Yet every one of the 30,000 pages of the great
Cambridge University issue is here, without
the abridgment of a line or a word.
In the handsome bookcase here shown you can
pick it up and move it anywhere you like (or put it
in your trunk and take it off to the country with you
if you like).
And each volume, printed on the beautiful India
paper, is so light that you can hold it in your hand and
read for an hour with no sense of fatigue.
Never was any great work of reference issued in
such a compact ana handy form.
And the amazing thing of it is that it actually costs
you only one-thirdT the price charged for the larger
sized Cambridge University issue of identically the
same work.
See our guarantee below. An order form is in
the adjoining circle.
Our Absolute Guarantee
We Guarantee that the "Handy Volume" Issue is authorized by the pub
lishers of the new Encyclopaedia Britannica; that its contents are identical.
Bage for page (including every map and illustration), with the Cambridge
niversity issue now selling at three times the price ; that it is manulaciured
by the same printers and binders as the more expensive book; that it is printed
on the same quality of India paper, from newly made plates; and thaU be
cause it is smaller, it is easier to handle than the Cambridge issue.
We Guarantee complete and entire satisfaction with the contents of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica and with the form of onr "Handy Volume" Issue.
To anyone, who for any reason is not satisfied and returns the set within
three weeks, we guarantee to return all he has paid (including shipping
charges).
