Books for the Camps.

There are thirtytwo environments,
many national guard camps and sew
eral isolated posts, all of which
should be furnished with books and
reading matter. The local librarians
are making an appeal to Keokuk

should not be too old, magazines
should not be more than two years
old Books should be of good print
and not out of date They should be
interesting and worth while.
Fiction is wanted, with plenty OF
good stories of adventure, sea stories,
detective stories and the like. Such
authors as Kipling, Doyle, McCut-
cheon, o. Henry, Stockton, Bindlosso
Harrington, Hopkins Smith and OPP.
penheim have been found to be pop
ular authors with the men.
Stirring poetry, Kipling. Masefeld,
Moves, etc, are preferred, and good
drama likewise is wanted. Foreign
language study books, especially
French grammar and dictionaries are
much needed. Where men are study
ing French they should have easy
readers and text books.
Books of travel and history, tech
nical books on aviation, automobiles.
wireless, submarines and the like are
wanted, also ethical books on citi-
zenship, why America is at war and
the like, and non-sectarian devotional

For men who have not formed read

are needed, something like boys
stories for instance.
Magazines Wanted.
Fresh, attractive magazines are
wanted such as Century. Harpers,
Everybody's, Outlook, Literary Di-
gest, Popular Mechanics, Popular
Science Monthly, Scientific American
Saturday Evening Post and the like.
Lantern slides are being used IN

will remember the boys and help the
librarians raise their quota of books
for the camp.
