HOW BUSINESS MEN KEEP POSTED

The average Australian or Ne'v Zealand business man —be the farmer, professional man, or the head of a business —finds it difficult in these hurrying dayß to keep abreast of current affairs without much heavy reading. For an all-round magazine of general interest planned to meet the needs of busy folk the July issue of "Life,"' just to published, be very difficult to beat. It contains a wonderful variety of summarised information on a hundred subjects, ranging through all the many departments of a modern busy man's life. Among the special articles there is for the farmer an admirably illustrated article showing how the corn crop may be increased by the employment cf simple, but effective seed tests. For the nature-lover there is an accurate and charmingly illustrated description of the home and habits of the pelican, the Australian variety of which, it seems, is the handsomest in the world. This article is contributed by Mr A. 11. E. Mattingley, C.Z.M.S., -whose nature photographs of wild nature have won prize against those of photographers in ail parts of the world. For politicians, and those who are intfiested in in the wider J hi MI

sense, there are articles by Dr Fitehett, Mr T. K. Dow, and a number of leading writers of authority on the other aide of the world. For business men there is a description of how Woolworth, the well-known American business man, made his fortune. Then, for those who are fond of good fiction, there are ;ic least four splendid stories, and a department devoted to the reviewing of the most recent books. For all round interest, we repeat, "Life" for July more than maintains the record of this excellent Amtralasian magazine, and is excellent value for the sixpence asked for it. CAPTAIN SCOTT'S STORY AT LAST! The thrilling story of Captain Scott and his men —told chiefly in his own words, and giving bis yet unpublished diaries in full—is something that no wide-awake reader can afford to miss At great expense the popular magazine "Life" has buught the exclusive rights for Australasia to publish this magazine feature of a decade. The splendid and tragic story—profusely illustrated with rare photographswill probably run through five issues of "Life," and give Captain Scott's story, told by himself, from the time the expedition set sail till the pencil dropped from Scott'a frozen fingers just before his death. This big feature will begin in the September issue of "Life," on sale about August loth.
