Judge w. w. Johnson has been ap-
pointed director for Union county by
the Library War Council, an organi-
zation created for the purpose of fur
nishing Libraries for our soldiers and
sailors. 1t is purposed to raise a
million dollar Library War Fund, and
the movement has the sanction and
support of Secretary of War Baker.
The statement is made that each dol
lar contributed will purchase and
house a book, on an average. Skilled
librarians will be in charge of the Ii
braries in the various cantonments,
and every energy will be turned to-
wards making it easily possible to
have every soldier within easy reach
of this very great means for enter
tainment and for self-improvement.
There are thirty-two cantonment Ii
brary buildings to be erected, and
about 100000 books put in them as a
beginning.
This is a big work and certainly
can be made wonderful help. We
presume that Judge Johnson will in
augurate a campaign in the county
for contributions to this fund, and no

Financing the Baptist college at

The stars incline, but do not

Saturday, December !, 1917.


This should be a fairly lucky day, since
the Sun has dominant power FOR good and

He who seeks political position or prefer

attainment.
Under this sign fame or appreciation is
promised to some new hero, who shall rise
suddenly. He will be distinctly a child OF
the Sun in the sense that he is enc who
wins by personal charm and the finer at
tributes OF human nature.
While this configuration prevails they who
are ambitious flourish greatly, and it will be
seen in the review of the dying year that
many are bitten with greed for glory, whether
II lie deserved or not.
This should be lucky day for all who
travel whether by land or sea, since friendly
stars are believed to guide and TO protec..
Saturn gives better promise for mining
interests and shields those in the trenches
while this rule continues.
The seers still declare that this nation
will be spared all the extreme horrors of
war and that peace will come before another
