To Find Business Books.
BY JESSIE ROBERTS

Dear Miss Roberts-Could you
tell me how to get hold OF any list
OF books bearing on business mat
ters? want TO do some reading in
this line during the summer. but do
not know what books TO ask for.
/ want books on craftsmanship, on
efficiency, on general trade matters.
Any help you can give me will be
very greatly appreciated. Yours
sincerely, B. F. W."
In the first place, I would sub
scribe for your trade journal, which
Is sure TO give you useful and awak-
ening viewpoints.
An excellent thing for you to get is
the Catalogue OF Copyright Entries.
which Is printed once or twice
week In Washington. d. c., and
lists not only books, but every vari-
ETY. OF copyrighted reading matter.
so that you are sure to get the
tiuts OF many things that will In
terest you. and which you could not
get In library nor even a book
shop. or course, the latest standard
works are also given.
Then there is a journal published
in Indianapolis called Special LII
braries. which gives information of
books on special business and bank
ing subjects. This Is issued at the
state library. Other Libraries that
publish lists of business books are
the public Libraries of San Francisco
and st. Louis. and also Of Brook
line. Mass. II you send for any Of
these, enclosing postage, you will
get valuable information.
Reading Is coming to be regarded
more and more as a necessary part
OF business equipment, and you are
clever In recognizing this. RI you
are in touch with a public library
where you live, talk with the libra
rian over what you want. Il is a pity
every town and city in the country
has not a business branch library
such as exists in Newark. y. J.,
and which has proved its useful
ness over and over. Let people de-
mand such libraries and they will
come.

the most popular color this summer

TOO MUCH OF ONE THOUGHT
French Wine Growers Contributed
Little to the Bodily Comfort Of
Their Beloved Pastor.

There is an old but very good story
told of a peasant congregation in the
south Of France which decided to pre-
SEN its well-beloved pastor with a
cask of wine.
The wine of that section is good,
and the peasant wine growers are very
economical.
The wine is likewise very uniform
in quality, and to facilitate the dona-
ton it was decided that each contrib,
utor should bring in a f1agon and emp
ty it into the cask of the good old cure.
The venerable priest was much de-
lighted at this exhibition of generosity.
However, when he came to bottle
the cask for winter use only clear
spring water ran from the faucet.
Each thrifty contributor had figured
that his fagon of water would not be
noticed in that cask Of generous d.
mensions.-Bonfort's Wine and Spirit
