The Turmoil 
By Booth Tarkington 
“I have read ‘The Turmoil' with very great 
interest. It is a pleasure to find a really 
American novel — I mean a novel that is made 
from our life as it is really being lived, illus¬ 
trated by characters made in America, even 
if made badly. I am not patriotic enough to 
like a book just because it is American; but 
when it is a good book I find my interest enor¬ 
mously increased by a native setting. I shall 
place ‘The Turmoil’ in a group of novels 
recommended to my classes.” 
— Henry S. Canby, Yale University.

The Key to the Land 
By Frederick F. Rockwell 
Full of practical information, gained by 
actual experience, is this book which recounts 
the “making good” of a city man in the coun¬ 
try. The author has made a story out of actual 
happenings and results achieved. A business¬ 
man determined to try his luck in the country, 
with a capital of a few hundred dollars. Lack 
of experience was made up for by intelligence, 
study, and consultation with a neighboring 
experimental station. His new methods were 
criticized by the conservative farmers, but 
they were soon glad to follow the city man’s 
example.

Bedtime Stories for the Little Folks 
The Hollow Tree 
Stories 
By Albert Bigelow Paine 
The popularity which Mr. Paine’s stories 
of the quaint Deep Woods creatures have 
long enjoyed has led to the publication of 
fewer stories to a volume which could be sold 
at a lower price. This is the reason why they 
are now issued in six handy volumes — little 
books such as little readers love: Mr. ’Possum’s 
Great Balloon Trip; How Mr. Dog Got Even; 
Mr. Rabbit’s Big Dinner; Making Up With 
Mr. Dog; When Jack Rabbit Was a Little 
Boy; How Mr. Rabbit Lost His Tail.

BOARD 
Upson Processed Board is 
the only board that is wood¬ 
like and that can rightly be 
termed artificial lumber. This 
is because it is the only wall

wood fibres.
