BY HORACE TRAUBEL
_Boards $1.00 net; $1.10 postpaid._
Inspirational prose pieces fired by revolutionary idealism and
prophetically subtle in their vision. The high esteem in which
Traubel's work is held is attested by the following unusual
commendations:
Jack London: "His is the vision of the poet and the voice of the
poet."
Clarence Darrow: "Horace Traubel is both a poet and a
philosopher. No one can say anything too good about him or his
work."
George D. Herron: "It is a book of the highest value and beauty
that Horace Traubel proposes to give us, and I can only hope that
it will be read as widely and appreciatively as it more than
deserves to be; for it is with a joy that would seem extravagant,
if I expressed it, that I welcome 'Chants Communal.'"
Not Guilty _A Defence of the Bottom Dog_
BY ROBERT BLATCHFORD
_Cloth 50c. Paper 25c._
A humanitarian plea, unequalled in lucidity and incontrovertible
in its logic.
Our Irrational Distribution of Wealth
BY BYRON C. MATHEWS
_Cloth $1.00 net._
The author undertakes to show that the agencies which are used in
distributing the products of industry and are responsible for the
extremes in the social scale have never been adopted by any
rational action, but have come to be through fortuitous
circumstances and are without moral basis. The wage system, as a
means of distribution, is utterly inadequate to measure the
workers' share. The source of permanent improvement is found in
social ownership, which transfers the power over distribution
from the hands of those individuals who now own the instruments
of production to the hands of the people.

Nancy the Joyous
By Edith Stow
Her romance shattered by her own hand, Nancy creeps away into
secluded Swaggerty Cove. There, among the child-hearted
mountaineers, where externals count for nothing, she tries to
fashion a new life. She finds a bigness where she expected
barrenness; she learns that being is more than having. And then,
when life has grown fuller and richer, when contact with other
aches has soothed her own--why, then in a very satisfying way
Nancy's heart comes into its own.
The heart interest is genuine; the story is natural and sincere.
Its optimism, its winsome simplicity, its intrinsic merit will
win the love of readers. We have great faith in Nancy the Joyous.
