s, there are also amateur printers. As a
rule, these printers do good work for a much less price than
professional printers charge. Perhaps the cheapest amateur printer
is M. R. King, of Cobleskill, N. Y. Mr. King will print 500 copies
of a paper, size page of HARPER'S MAGAZINE, for $1 per page. The
National Amateur Press Association convenes at Chicago July 16-18.
The ticket below is the one favored most by the Pacific coast: For
President, David L. Hollub, of San Francisco; for First
Vice-President, C. W. Kissinger, of Reading, Pa.; for Recording
Secretary, A. E. Barnard, of Chicago, Ill.; for Corresponding
Secretary, E. A. Hering, of Seattle, Wash.; for Treasurer, Alson
Brubaker, of Fargo, N. D.; for Official Editor, Will Hancock, of
Fargo, N. D.; for Executive Judges, C. R. Burger, Miss E. L.
Hauck, and J. F. Morton, Jun.

The Pacific coast is the most active amateur centre in the world.
There are thirty-four amateur papers in San Francisco. Seattle has
a live amateur press club of thirty members. I shall be glad to
send sample copies of amateur papers and to give further
information.

"The ---- spread their palms like holy men in prayer."

5.

"The wild ---- ---- waste their fragrant stores
In leafy islands walled with madrepores
And lapped in Orient seas,
When all their feathery palms toss, plume-like, in the breeze."

6.

"Give to Northern winds the ---- ---- on our banner's tattered field."

7.

"The ---- dreamy Titans roused from sleep--
Answer with mighty voices, deep on deep
Of wakened foliage surging like a sea."

8.

"The ---- ----, tall and bland,
The ancient ----, austere and grand."

9.

"The ----'s whistling lashes, wrung
By the wild winds of gusty March."

10.

"Take what she gives, her ----'s tall stem,
Her ---- with hanging spray;
She wears her mountain diadem
Still in her own proud way."
