"BETTER BOOK wEEKo

10 you know what books are be-
ing read by the boys and girls of to-
day, and do you know that the old
tlme nickel novel is oftentimcs dis
guised in a real cover and is selling
Tor 20 and SO cents. and that per
maps you nave been guilty, unwilling
ly' of buying one of these .'thrnlers"
Tor your son or perhaps for your
brother?
Buy the Best Books for Your
children will be the slogan of the
new campaign to be inaugurated with
Good Book Week December 40.
1916. That week has been designat-
ed throughout the United States by
the Boy Scouts of America. whose
headquarters are in New York City,
as one in which to make available to
parents the help they need in select
ing books to be purchased as Christ
mas gifts for their children.
An illustrated descriptive list Of
over 800 books boys like best has
been compiled by the leaders of the
Boy Scouts of America. Books on
this list range from 80 cents to 50,
and may be ordered through any Of
the three drug stores or through the
students cooperative store. Some
OF the 50-cent books on this list are
reprints of $3.50 editions and are
printed especially for the Boy Scout
organization of America. These 30
cent copies of better books are not
to be confused with the Boy Scout
series" books, which are not on this
list.
At present there is a cpy of this
list of Books Boys Like Best" at the
reference desk of the college library
and it may be consulted at any time
There will be, at an early date. one
of these lists in each of the drug
stores where the books may be
ordered.

The suggestion that county en-
gineers should be appointed rather
than elected is a good one. Under
the elective system the voters of the
smaller counties are too often limit
ed to a choice between two or three
men, none of whom are really com
petent to fill the position.
President Wilson will enjoy the
distinction of being the first demo-
cratic president since Andrew Jack
son to succeed himself.

JOY RIDERS IN
IHfIlLL0 HAVE fun:
AT Wild PACE
Especial star.Bullctin Correspondence Il,

(Special Star.BuIictin Corrcspondencel
HILO, June 24.-SeVenteen police
men were laid out cold on Monday
night last when a band of Joy-rlderS
ran amuck in a peaCe-at-any-pr1cec car
and raced around the city streets at
great pace. That none Of the police
officers were killed is owing to the
fact that the cops laid out were OF the
silent variety which stand at the street
corners and warn chauffeurs how to
drive their cars at those points. AS
a result of the affair, three men have
been arrested and fined. That is to
say a couple Of them decided to for
felt bail in the substantial amount OF
$50 each in preference to appearing
in court and facing the charges. The
COP killers we're strangers from Homo
lulu and the coast.
From the story of the real, live
cops, who pursued the Joy-riders
around town until they arrested them,
it appears that the bunch of visitors,
all fairly we'll linked and looking for
fun, started off around town at pace
that would make Barney Oldtield
weep with JOY Then, not content
with hitting the sidewalks about eV-
cry other corner, the joy bunch in
structed one of ne party to sit on the
running board Of the car and to knock
over every silent wooden cop that vas
encountered. That was great sport
and the bunch proceeded to visit eV-
cry part of the town where wooden
man stands and to throw them all
over into the street celters.
1t was while doing this that the real
police officers got wise and then en-
sued a really exciting race that was
only brought to close when the JOY
riders ran into Va blink alley and had
to surrender to superior forces. 1t
took some time to replace the silent
COPS and then all was quiet again.
