CANNING BOOKS AT LIBRARY.

Herbert Hoover and his assistants
in washington have warned the
country that there will be a food
shortage unless more food is produced
and reserved The Free Library OF
this city has tried to help the pro-
ducers by supplying gardening books.
over so new books on gardening were
purchased and were in constant use.
Now that the demand for gardening
books has practically ceased the
library is prepared to help in preser-
wing food.
But It is one thing to tell the peo-
pie to put all kinds Of vegetables and
fruits in Jars and It is another thing
10 do Il. The Free Library has a sup
ply OF books on canning and preserv-
ing which will help those who know
nothing about Il. They will even help
those who do know something about
Il. Owing TO the great demand for
such books their use has been re-
stricted by the library to seven days
If the supply of canning books rails
I the library has many government
documents on canning, and nearly all
cook books have chapters devoted to
the subject.

JAPANESE SPEAKER
TELLS OF COUNTRY

The lecture room Of the high school
was crowded to the doors yesterday
afternoon when A. Icyda delivered an
address on Japan. He gave many
ideas Of the customs and religions Of
that country. He displayed several
embroidered silks that showed the
japanese handiwork and love of color.
Several paintings by school children
of Japan were displayed and offered
for sale. In Mr. Icyda's lecture he
showed how Japan was handicapped
by not having g religion that It could
turn TO in its daily needs and be in
spired and uplLfted from the depths Of
ignorance. He said. "A japanese does
not worship idols because he is bad but
because he doesn't know any better"
The lecture was closed by showing
some lantern slides of japanese life
and of the beautiful flowers Of Japan.
