COUNTRY LIFE IN AMERICA FOR JUNE 
In the number of Country Lije in America 
for this month there is an article about Salmon 
Fishing in Newfoundland which has been 
secured after an amount of trouble seldom de- 
voted to a single article. 
Last year Mr. Dug- 
more prepared himself with a special camera 
and camping outfit and made the long journey 
eee 
into the far north of Newfoundland, bent on 
getting some salmon pictures as good as Mr. 
_Dimock’s pictures of the leaping tarpon. 
, After traveling for 
days by sea andland, 
by train, steamer, 
dory and on foot, 
the long-wished-for 
river was reached 
—only to spend 
some disheartening 
weeks of fruitless 
effort. For on the 
few occasions when 
the salmon rose the 
sun retired behind 
clouds and fog, and 
photographs made 
in a thousandth of 
a second need good 
sunlight and plenty of it. For a month the 
record was one of almost uniform failure— 
not to mention rain and black flies and other 
troubles. 
But at last, one day, on a pool which had 
probably never before been fished, luck turned; 
and in the space of three hours a dozen salmon 
leaped successively in the sunlight while the 
camera clicked away—with what success, on 
this and some subsequent occasions, the readers 
of Country Lije in America for June may iudge.

regularly we wish them to send for a summer 
offer which we make to induce our friends to 
take the magazine during these dull months. 
A NEW BOOK BY MAURICE HEWLETT 
There is real distinction about all the work 
done by this writer, and we are proud to add a 
book like “The Spanish Jade” to our list. It 
is redolent with the vivid color of Spain, and we 
believe it will be welcomed by the readers who 
take joy in “Richard Yea-and-Nay” and “The 
Forest Lovers.” We rather flatter ourselves, too, 
that it is a most attractive piece of book-making, 
being illustrated by William Hyde, under Mr. 
Hewlett’s direction. In England, it is sold for 
6 shillings ($1.50), while we have put the price 
at go cents, net, or $1.00 postpaid. Send for 
it on approval if you like. 
ENGLISH REVIEWS OF “THE ANCIENT LAW” 
It is a genuine pleasure, speaking of English 
matters, to notice how great is the interest taken 
there in Miss Glas- 
gow’s new novel. It 
has been received with 
the highest praise. 
Here are a few lines 
of extracts: 
The 
Ancient Law. 
“The book is well 
worth reading.”—The 
Atheneum. 
“One gets borne along 
as ona waye of emotional 
inspiration toward an un- 
derstanding of the reality 
of good.”—The London 
Morning Post. 
“A deep and intimate 
record of a soul’s trem- 
Ellen Glasgow .

E- OFFICE: | 
bling progress upward from shame and sin to dignity, 
expression, and courage.”—The London Times. 
MR. LORIMER’S “ JACK SPURLOCK—PRODIGAL.” 
We have also just published the first novel 
written by the author of the “Letters of a Self- 
Made Merchant.” We may be prejudiced, 
but we think it is humor of a quality, and breezy 
quality, which will cause it to be welcomed as 
few books have been received by people who are 
more fond of laughing than the reverse. Some 
parts of it have appeared in the Saturday 
Evening Post, but it has been entirely re- 
cast and rewritten, the form of letters aban- 
doned, and young Jack’s love affairs with a 
very delightful girl carried to their happy 
ending. 
AN ENERGETIC WOMAN 
who knew something about gardens undertook 
to see her friends and neighbors to interest them 
in The Garden Magazine-Farming. She soon 
found that she had a hundred subscribers, and 
earned a considerable sum, greatly to her own 
and to our advantage. We are in pressing need 
of a host of such helpers, and college students 
and teachers are invited to write us for par- 
ticulars of an attractive summer offer. We 
believe that students and teachers have a special 
adaptability for the work. Commission and sal- 
ary will be paid. Three or four hours a day are 
required—not more—and earnings of several 
hundred dollars during the vacation period are 
not at all beyond the attainable. Selling a 
magazine like this is perhaps more pleasant 
work than selling some other things. This 
paragraph is put here in the hope that our 
subscribers . will advise the right sort of 
teachers and students to write to our 
Circulation Department for more detailed 
information. 
BACK NUMBERS WANTED 
The demand for the March number of The 
Garden Magazine—Farming was heavier than 
we expected. If any of our readers have 
copies of that month’s issue in good condition 
they would be favoring us by returning them 
as promptly as possible. 
In sending the copies back, send at the 
same time a “postal card saying that you have 
done so and we will be glad to extend your 
subscription.
