operation is required in helping boys to read good books.
 Your attention is directed to the dis plays that will be made at the book stores, and at the public library Respect fully, ELWYN BALLARD.
 Scout Commissioner. CARL H. MILAN, Director Public Li- brary, Chairman Boy Scouts Court of Honor"
 In speaking of this kind of education for the growing boys, the magazine Scouting says: Tn carrying on our campaign against the modern thriller. we have had not stronger ally than the newspaper From the leading papers in the largest cities to humblest weeklies of the rural communities. all have assisted through their editorials or news columns to sup port our propaganda in the interest Of good books for boys.'
 No matter what the individual opinion of the Scout movement may be, this much at least commends itself to us at once; for every mother has felt the necessity for some such education.
 It is to be hoped readers everywhere will respond to the appeal. Make Safety First Juvenile Books Week a real suc- cess.
 By aiding the child in it's reading now, he will become a discriminating reader in after life.

INVESTMENTS

The problem of investing money wisely is one that worries great many people. Many find it worth while to keep closely posted on the real estate conditions, as to buying, selling, renting and exchanging. Each day they consult the clearing house of real estate news in the want columns. There is healthy demand for realty of all kinds and landlords, agents, tenants, investors, all look to the want columns for realty in formation. The want ads lead direct ly to more real estate transactions than any other way.
