tha session tomorrow and will state that a
careful estimate-ot the reports of lodges for the
term ending March SI, thus far received, gtves
tho total membership of subordinate lodges In

Odd Fellows generally, as wall aa to all frater

Why this Sale
of The Encyclopaedia Britannica
Must
vlOS"
RK ANNOUNCEMENT!
Very shortly we must withdraw our offer
of the new "Handy Volume" Issue of the
ENCYCLOPAEDIA BRITANNICA.
We were able to offer to our customers and the public the new
"Handy Volume" Issue of the Britannica at such phenomenally low
prices only by arranging with the publishers for an enormous
printing and by reason of this a very heavy reduction in manu
facturing costs.
All these contracts for paper, presswork, binding, leather, and
so forth, were made before the war began.
The sale has-been a success beyond the highest expectations.. It
is a conservative statement that no such a sale of a single work,
either in the number of volumes or in the total sales price was ever
known before in the history of book publishing.
Ve takejm'de in our achievement. We have placed in tens of
thousands r6f homes a new edition of the most valuable work in the
English language, the most useful, the most practical, and the most
informed'We believe, and many distinguished educators have written
to us to say, that we have done a distinct educational service.
We wish we could have gone onselling this great work at this low
price for years. That is impossible. So rapidly has the issue been
subscribed for that the sets now remaining will soon be exhausted.
The publishers now notify us that they cannot renew the present
contract. So rapidly has the cost of production risen in the last
few months that they cannot supply us with further sets at any
thing like present costs.
The price will have to be advanced from $11 per set for the
lowest priced bindings to $19 per set for the highest price ; and
there is no certainty that we can arrange for many more sets
even at this price.
The same sudden rise in prices which has occurred in many
other lines of trade has come to the paper, printing and binding
business. Paper has advanced between 60 and 70, morocco
leather 502o, ink from 20 to 1503?, and other raw materials enter
ing into the making of the Encyclopaedia Britannica much the same.
All this is only part of a great wave of prosperity that has come to
the United States. Prices in many lines have risen at an almost
fabulous rate. A list is given in an adjoining column.
Nor does this rise seem temporary. We seem entering upon an era
of still higher prices and of rapidly expanding trade. The basic industry
of the country, farming, is receiving high prices for all its products.
A heavy congestion of freight rules all over the country. There is a
shortage of cars, and of locomotives to haul them.
Industry is humming. Twothirds of the factories of the nation
are working overtime. Not in twenty years has the like been seen.
AN OPPORTUNITY PASSING
What is plain is that the opportunity to obtain the new edition of the
Encyclopaedia Britannica at the present prices will not be repeated. In some
of the more expensive bindings exhaustion is already near; and in the most
expensive, the full seal binding, hardly a hundrecTsets remain.
We therefore give notice 'that in a very shprt time the sale will close, our
offer will be withdrawn and tho Britannica will be pbtainable only at very
much higher prices. There is still time to send for the handsome 130-page
book described below, but we urge those who have been hesitating to for
ward their orders at the earliest possible time.

What This Vast Work Contains
When it is said that tho new Eleventh
Edition of tho Encyclopaedia Britannica is
the most exhaustive summary of human
knowledge ever prepared, in a single work,
this carries Httlosuggestionof its vastrarige.
It does not help much to'say that it contains
iony-ono tnonsanq auicreni arucies.

To take a few ot its divisions. On Art
Architecture and Music there is a total of
2937 different articles; on Chemistry 547;
on Languages andWriting285; on Medicine
and Surgery 644.
The Britannica Is & splendid atlas, and
tho total of its articles on Geography reaches
11,341. Tho number of articles on tho
History of Nations is 6292: on the different
literatures of tho world 4136.
Abstruse subjects like Philosophy and
Psychology roll up atotal ot 643 articles; Re
ligion and Theology 3049; Mathematics 253.
Sports and Pastimes show a total of 264
articles; Law and Political Science 1302:
Engineering 419; Economics and Social
Science 492.
Needless to say all tho separate sciences
are covered as completely as if you had
separate text books for each; and in a far
more compact and readable form. Biology,
the science of life, has a total of 1886 arti
cles; Geology, earth knowledge, a total of
740; Physics 285; Anthropology and Eth
nology, covering oil our knowledge of man
upon the earth, 458 articles.
It is a highly practical work. Industries
and Occupations aro covcrcdin 545 different
articles; Military and Naval subjects in 320;
Education in 172; Archaeology and AntiquU
ties in 101.
Just the mere text of tho new Eleventh
Edition, printed in ordinary type would
make three or four hundred volumes of
average Book size; and at a dollar and a
half a volume this would mean they would
cost at least four or fivo hundred dollars
that is, nearly ten times what the Britannica
may be had ior in tho now "Handy Vol
ume" Issue.
But this does not nearly tell the story.
