COMPANY &c" LIBRARY

Through the efforts Of some inter
ested friends in the city, Company G
was presented with a library Of about
seventy-fye volumes to take with them
to their camp. A box was made to
hold the books, being regulation size,
with hinges, handles and hasp and
paddock. These books were mostly
fiction, and all of the best kind. A
dictionary, atlas and gazetteer, and a
set Of United States history by Presi-
dent Wilson, were the only books Of a
heavier sort that were included in the
collection. 1t is the hope of the Civ
ers that these good books of light fic-
ton will enable the boys to while
away many an hour Of leisure.
Those who contributed to this IL
brary were as follows: f. H. Sexauer,
A. N. Hume, Paul Roberts. G. l..
Brown, J. F. Brooke, Edna Jerde. Ma
son Hargett, Richard Bracket, A. M.
Pultz, Leon Pultz, c. D. Kendall. Geo.
Hill, Cora Bartlett, Marie Hanson, Ida
Rude, Florence Rude, Paul butcher,
Anna Knutson. Bertha Knutson, Hilda
Knutson. Gladys and Esther Bairey,
Mrs. d. S. Palmer and Clyde Tidball.
Four volumes were given by persons
who did not leave their name. The
boys expressed themselves as very
thankful for this little remembrance
of their coming idle hours.
The following book plate was pasted
in the front of each volume. with the
giver's name properly Inscribed:

REGENTS

The Regents of Education have been
in session and among other things
done, have been the letting of the con
tracts for the new buildings at State
college. The A. NJ. Void Construc-
ton Co. of Bookings, have the con
tract for the completion of the big ad-
ministration building by the addition
of the new north wing. They also will
build the new stock Judging pavilion.
The building of the armory goes TO
the j. b. Nelson Co, of Mankato. II
is expected that all that can be done
this fall is to prepare the sites for
work in the spring as there are sew
eral buildings to be moved.
Regents Dwight and Frieberg were
In attendance at %convocation on Tues
day morning. Regent Dwight spoke
on the present war situation and paid
his respects to Senators La Toilette,
GrOnna and Stone, with some pointed
illusions to Ex-senator Pettigrew. He
asserted that when a democracy goes
to war, a whole people is at war and

of these travelling men, ana another
feature of the company. soOn to be
added, is the employment of a service
manager. whose business will be to
vice to their customers and teaching
them how it can be made a means of
increasing deposits and starting peo-
pie on the idea of saving. This is per
haps the only mail banking system
that furnishes service along with the
other parts of the system. and this in
itself will be one of the most valuable
features of the whole idea.
At present the office of the concern
is in the Medical block on Williams
street and they use -four rooms for the
conduct Of their business. Miss May
Lehner has charge Of the order de-
partment, Mrs. Margaret Avery looks
after the letter process work and Mrs.
lnez Madden is doing general Jeno-
graphic work. These ladies with Mr..
Robinson. the manager, and six per-
son travelling on the road, make a
force of ten people that are engaged
in getting this unique little device
before the people.
Mr.. Cobel and Mr.. Robinson are
both convinced from the record that
has been made since July, that they
have g. most m%eritorious system for
the handling of banking by mail, and
that it will not be long before the
growth of business will compel them
to move to some place more centrally
located for the dispatch Of mail and
express. There is talk that it will be
necessary to move to Chicago, where
they can reach in all directions. The

however, will be added as soon as the
proper men can be found to fill the
places, and with these two additions
there is no doubt but what the bust
ness will grow by leaps and bounds.
B%rookings is glad to be the birth
place of such a valuable adjunct TO
the banking system of the country,
and we thank Mr.. Cobel for waiting
until he moved here before thinking
this idea out.

street east and take the camp now
occupied by one of the Nebraska in
for several months, but if we go

changed to artillery or infantry. Our
selection for this duty is considered
a great honor and everyone is happy.

You see we were thrown out here
on the desert and in just a few days
we had the best looking place in
camp. That probably was the leading
factor in attracting attention to our
outfit, but there were other considera-
tions. The officers and men were
bound that We would 20 be looked

babe them goodbye. Taken from the
center of the assembly they fail to
show all the mass Of people that con
~gregated everywhere. Autos We're
parked all around the edges, and for
half an hour after the train left, the
police were acting as traffic officers
to keep them going and coming on
Main street, and preventing accidents.
1t was a sad occasion, yet it was a
glorious one, and the spirit of the peo-
pie seemed TO echo the wish that
showed in every face, that our boys
must do all they can to win the fight
for freedom and democracy.
Camp Green, nea Charlotte, North
Carolina. is the place where the boys
will train. 1t is one of the many new
cities being built for the army and is
now almost complete. Every conven-
fence is being provided and the men
will have accommodations to match
the climate. The camp is named af-
ter General Greene. the revolutionary
hero and is commanded by Maj. Gen.
Hunter Liggett, one of the finest sol
diers in the regular army.
Charlotte is a city of $4,000 popu-
lation, situated in the southern tier Of
counties a little west of the center Of
the state. 1t is in Mechlenburg coun-
ty, and before the revolutionary war
known as M~echlenberg Court House.
Here the Mechlenburg Declaration Of
Independence was adopted in May,
1775, being the first declaration Of re-
volt Of the colonies from the English
government. 1t is a historic and hal
lowed spot in the history of freedom.
1t is served by two of the big rail
way lines Of the south, has a large
number of public buildings and hos

and a Presbyterian college for ne
groes. 1t has large mills for the man.

of textile and medical publications.
The western boundary of the coun-
ty is the CatawDa river, in whose val
ley the sweet red grape of the same
name was first successfully raised.
The city is in the foot hills of the Al
leghanies, the summit Of the Blue
Ridge range being only a little more
than fifty miles to the northwest. In
an air line it is only a little over four
hundred miles almost due south Of
Pittsburg. Sugar Creek runs through
the city and furnishes power for cleo
trio plants that supply the factories.
Charlotte is a modern city with all
the cOnveniences, and is also endowed
with the historic flavor of revolution
