 for, voluntary contributions to the
 Library War council fund, which is designed to provide reading matter

 for this purpose, and up to late
 hour last night reports turned in
 showed a, total of $275. This. with
 S26 received from New Gascony,
 makes total of $301 reported for district No. 6. of which Jefrerson

 It is hoped that the collections in the churches today will bring the
 total to twice the amount reported. and that the voluntary contributions today and tomorrow will complete the quota.
 Members of the local committee ap- EOl1teQ py MIS. V. w. OeeASi S"' member of the Arkansas Library War
 council. have heen as active as they could be. but it has been impossible
 for all of them to cover the territory assigned to them. She will withhold her report to the state council treas urer until tomorrow night. so that voluntary contributions may be tn-
 cluded.
 Prclates of every church, army and navy officers have indorsed the move ment to raise this fund, the officers heinz particularly strong in their ! praise of the movement, The soldiers ! and sailors themselves are deeply in- | tarested, for. with the pay they re- ] ceivc and the disbursements they must make, they will have nothinR with which to pay for good reading matter.
 One of the features proposed by the committee for raising the money was to have Tag Day during the l week. but after deliberating over the
 matter. it was decided to reconsider the action taken and Tag Day was l eliminated.

THE FINAL TYPE MONOGRAPH
 AT THE PRICE OF OTHERS

But net until perfected phonograph was possible could The House of Brunswick afford to bring out all instrument bearing its name.
 Music lovers who want something more than the ordinarv phonograph invariably use The Brunswick. Ii does more than merely initiate sound
 One reason is its scientifically constructed souha chamber Unlike others it is built entirely ot wood like violin. Some use metal horns, That, we knoW accounts for their metallic, nasal tones 1nese are entirely absent in The Brunswick.
 Come in and hear the wonderful Brunswick. Then vou will really know what faultless photographic reproduction means.
