MAKING LIBRARIES
FOR SOLDIERS
S1,O0O,OOO Being Raised to Establish
Them i'm Training Comps
and Cantonments.

Washington, Sept 24.-All the
famous heroes of days gone by, as
well as Sherlock Holmes and DR.. Wat
son, are going to fight for the cause
of Democracy. They have volun-
teered to follow our soldiers and sail
ors to the training camps and across
the sea to the trenches. They are
going in the pages of thousands of
volumes to the purchased and dis
tributed by the Library War council,
recently appointed by Secretary of
War Newton d. Baker.
This council was created to COOP
crate with the War Service commit
tee of the American Library associa-
ton in their campaign to raise ST.
100000, with which to establish H.
braries in all Of the training camps
and cantonments. The money which
Is being raised by popular subscrip-
ton has been pouring in. Harold
Braddock of Montclair, N. j., direc-
tor of the Library War council, has
received word from most of the
states that the governors have ap-
pointed local war councils to co-oper-
ate with the National War council.
In each city of the United States the
public librarian has been constituted
the collector of the fund, and in many
cases the amount set for particular
city has already been oversubscribed
Some idea of the extent of the
work undertaken may be had from
the fact that there will be thirty-two
library buildings erected at the vari-
Gus training camps and environments
and that $4,000 fresh, careful Sc
lected volumes must be purchased at
once. The publishers have all agreed
to sell their books at cost and the
prominent authors Of America have
agreed to forego all royalties.

THE REPUBLICS CRITICISM.
Basely Unfair and The Paper Is Put

County.

1t is admitted all over Audrain
County we think that Ross B. eau
thorn, Sheriff j. G. Ford and DR.. r.
T. Gibbs made a most enviable rec
ord as members of the Audrain
County Board of Registration, serv-
ing with patience and giving lavishly
of their time. When asked to serve
further, as the County Draft Exemp-
ton Board, they resigned. They
thought there were other men in the
county who might we'll take their
place, and would be just as glad to
show bit of patriotism. The st.
Louis Republic misconstrued the sit
uation. Ross B .Cauthorn in a let
ter to the Republic given below, puts
that paper right.
Thinks They Have Done Their Bit.
To the Editor of The Republic:
l notice in your issue of June 80
an editorial which reads, There
are slackers other than those who re-
fuse to fight. For instance, the
Audrain County, Missouri, Exemp-
ton Board has refused to serve"
AS a member of this board, ]
would like the PUBLICATION of this let
ter. This Exemption Board as ap-
pointed, that declined to serve, was
the Registration Board. They, with
the registrars of this county, did
not make any charge whatever fol
services as a registration board
Money for railroad fare, automobile
hire, etc, was willingly donated b.
the sheriff. The physician on tn,
board with his family and office help
worked for several days copying reg
istration cards, and l myself CAV
two weeks of my time solely to tn
duties of the registration board
My deputy gave more than a week
time, and every member of my fam
lily also helped. All of which put u
back in our office work, togethe
with my court duties during the sci
sion of court, commencing the SCI
ond day of July, makes it impossibl
for me to serve.
