One thing Canadians can boast of over their American cousins is the fact that Canada has a bigger, better fam- ily paper with more subscribers than any paper across the line. We allude, of course, to “ The Family Herald amt Weekly Star,” of Montreal, which is‘ read in Canada alone by over half ~a million people each week. The .im- mense increase in the “Family Her- ald’s” subscription lists this year is a great tribute to it and is due to some extent to the two handsome pictures. “ Battle of Alma" and “ Pussy Wil- ows,” both of which are included in e year’s subscription. Can our merican friends show a. bigger dol- 1’s. .worth P We think not.
