SOLDIERS LIBRARY
THOUSANDS OF BOOKS SENT AND
MORE ARE DESIRED.

During the last week over eight
hundred books and large number Of
magazines hayo been Slipped from
Tie public library to the soldiers at
Camp Dodge These have all been Civ
en- by citizens of Oskaloosa and will
be placed in the cantonment library at
Camp Dodge for the use OF the SOL
diers.
This is q good showing for 'OSkaloo-
sa, but the campaign for books will
be continued. Those in charge of the
cantonment libraries say that thous-
ands of volumes have been received
but that many thousand more will be
needed. Besides the many camps in
this country, there are the transports,
naval, bases abroad and the camps at
the front to be supplied Our army of
10000 men, composed as it has been
with dofinite hours available for read
ing and little else to occupy them dur
ing these hours, is equivalent to an or
binary community Of four or five times
that number So, look over your IL
bfary again and see if there are not
few more books which you can
spare and send them to the Public Lii.
brary to be forwarded to camp Dodge.
Reports show that the men crave,
something more ,Aan merely recrea-
tive reading. One cantonment librar-
ian reports that 80 per cent Of the cir
cuiation is non.nction. AT some of the:
places-for instance the Naval Train
ing Station at the Great Lakes-thc
men arc pursuing systematic studies
and want textbooks in mathematics,
engineering, history. and language.
