Every librarian is urged to inaug-

What the Boys Like

The war library bulletin explains
that good fiction will be wanted, stor-
les, books of adventure, sea stories,
detective stories, historical novels and
collection of short stories. Such
authors as Kipling, Doyle, McCutch-
con, Rex Beach, Jack London, o.
Henry, Stock, Bindloss, Stevenson,
Harrington, Hopkinson Smith, Op-
penheim, Verne and Dumas have been
popular with men. Stirring poetry is
in reuuest-Service, Kipling, Mase-
field and Noyes.
Books for foreign language study

jumping from 35 cents peck in 1907
to so cents a peck in 1917. Tomatoes
| watercress, new beets, mint and pars-
ley have, however, remained the same
during the 10 years.
Housewives feel the high cost of
groceries, especially those who were
buying for a family back in 1907. In
those days. butter could be bought for
35 cents, cheese for from II to rs
! cents, flour for $6.75 a. barrel, syrup
for $3.50 gallon, sugar for to 8
cents pound, eggs for from 35 to 40
cents a dozen. Today butter sells for
So cents, cheese for from 35 to 38
cents, flour for $3.50 a sack, syrup for
$40 a gallon, sugar pounds for SO
cents, and eggs for from So to rs
cents.
Poultry took a big jump. Native
broilers sold for % cents a pound in
1907, but they cost As cents a pound
now. Fowls have jumped from %
and rs cents a pound to 3S cents,
squads from 1915 to IS a dozen to so
cents each, and ducks from 25 to %
cents pound to 40 cents. Fish are
also more expensive now, especially
halibut haddock and Holsters.
These figures were as of the early
days in November this year. 1t will
be seen at once that salaries of a few
Years ago can no longer provide for
the families of the employees of the
government in the postal service the
necessities and surroundings that the
family, if it is to continue as the
strong social unit, must have.
1.-THE clerks and carriers are not
fighting their fight for higher wages
alone. There has recently come to me
as representative of the First district
of Connecticut a petition signed by
more than 1000 of the most promi-
nent men in the civil life of Hartford,
among them that of a former chief
executive OF the state, members of the
state legislature, merchants, working
men, professional men and clergy
men. All ask that the clerks and car
riers be granted the increase they
seek. The laborer is worthy of his
hire.
Few Want Positions.
Incidentally, it may be stated here
that in the city of Hartford alone dur
ing the past year. from the carriers
list, 48 carriers were notified, but 20
eligibles declined to accept, and sub
stitutes resigned after being appoint
ed. In addition, regular carriers
and 1 rural carrier resigned, all be-
cause they could not afford to take,
the position. The salary was made
.quate. From the clerk list, in the,
same time, "a eligibles declined to &C
cept appointment and II substitute
clerks resigned after being appointed.
80 clerks having been notified. Four
regular clerks resigned. This, to my
mind. is a reflection on the method of
salaries for men in the
service.

president, that the present task of the
nation is to win the war. Teamwork
must do it. And raising the salaries
Of the clerks and carriers will make
the Post Office department a most eff
cient branch Of the service. To this
the people are entitled.
TT is to be hoped, too, that the
rural carriers, those men who brave
the storms of winter and who at all
hazards keep the avenues to the farms
open to the cities. will also soon bene-
fit by legislation. The same increase
in the cost Of living in cities, as cited
above, has also been felt in the coun-
try in the purchase of supplies for the
farm. And we should not forget any
particular class Of men in one service,
if the legislation planned to benefit
the whole service is to be enacted.
''At any rate, Mr.. Speaker, I trust
New Britain herald., 1917-12-21

during these war times is self-evident.
It has impressed itself SO upon the
military leaders of our country that in
the draft many postal employees, while
not by virtue of their office exempt,
are. placed in different classes. If the
postal service Of the country fails dur
ing the present emergency, then the
business of the country will be seri
.ously handicapped. If business is at
all handicapped, the sources from
which we expect to take revenue for
winning the war will be jeopardized;
jeopardize the collecting of revenue
and Immediately the sinews of war
are affected. The consequence in dis
rupting the postal service by driving
men from it into other occupations
because of the poor salaries paid post
al employees would be harmful in the
extreme. We have the words of the
New Britain herald., 1917-12-21

that a bill for the increase Of salaries
of clerks and carriers will soon be-
come law"

bureau Of education believe that this
can be done largely through evening
schools.
Or. Harrison H. Wheaton of the bureau
Of education, specialist in the education
Of immigrants, who Is In charge OF the
Americanization campaign, says:
This is concerted nationwide move
ment to promote our national unity by
amalgamating the various races and ma
tionalities residing In this country with
the native-born American population. The
fundamental basis upon which this move
ment Is being conducted is that we cannot
wage a successful war without a united
country back Of the fighting line. The
movement. therefore. comprehends with
others. three important factors in per
fecting our national unity and solidarity !:
First, Matchmaking the use Of the Eng
iish language: second, promoting a gen.
eral allegiance to the United States on
the part OF every citizen, whether native
or foreign born; third. extending the un-
derstanding Of American institutions, gov
ernment and ideals among immigrants re-
siding in this country

At some of the cantonments, when
II was discovered that a number OF
recruits could not read or write tie
English language, the provision for
teaching the men in an interesting
and quick way was started. 1t was
found that many of them came from
sections in the country settled By
European immigrants, where the par
ents' language has been retained and
contact with Americans has not been
sufficient. These soldiers must be
taught to feel the responsibility that
deyolves upon them as citizens ana
soldiers and to know and respect the
government which they have sworn n.
