Free War Maps

To follow intelligently the Eu-
ropean War situation and keep
jn touch with the lightning move-
ments of the troops a comprehen-
sive war mapof Europe giving
all details is essential.

Of all the maps issued there is
but one that fills the bill, and
that is the one issued specially by
the celebrated map makers—G,
W. Bacon & Co,, London, Eng,

The publishers of “The Family
Herald and Weekly Star’’ of
Mortreal, always alive to the best
interests of their subscribers, the
moment the map was issued
cabled an offer for the Canadian
rights of the map. Their offer
has been accepted, and Family
Herald subscribers will have the
best Map available.

The Miner has conelided ar-
raugements with the Family
Herald and W: ekly Star by which

-our readers may also secure the
-map free of charge. In this is-
sue will be found a clubbing offer
of the. two papers, including the
Map, The offer is one that every
reader of The Miner should ac:
cept.
” Newspapers are paying dearly
for the war, The price of paper
is going up, up, up! The cost of
telegrams and cablegrams has
‘increased from thirty to fifty per
cent. Scores ofnewspapers have
suspended publication, and hun-
dreds.of others have raised the
subscription price. For the pre-

ion, ia able for the present, at all
