Members who have copies of Vol. 7, No. i. March, 1905. Vol. 

 S, No. I. March. nx>^>, or Vol. 9, No. 4. Deceml>er, 1907, and who 

 do not care to preserve them for binding, will do a favor by sending 

 them to the editor. The file is nearly exhausted for those issues of 

 the JorKNAi.. and there are frecpient calls for complete sets from 

 libraries in dilferent parts of the country. Those who have copies 

 issued previous to i9<?5 should preserve them carefully and send 

 them to the editor unless they are intended for binding. There are 

 many of the early issues of the Jot knai. which are anw lacking and 

 it is getting to be difficult to make up a complete set.
