LIBRARY FOR OUR SOLDIERS

The War department has asked the
vide reading matter for our soldiers
in the field. The ste tistics from the
Civil, Spanish, Boer, Russo-Japanese
wars show that 90 men out of every
100 will probably return to civil life
after the war. Since these young
men are all very young, we wish to
profit by the experience and advice of
Europe, and make it possible for
each man to keep in touch with his
special way of earning a living. Just
now Mr.. Theodore Koch of the libra
ry of Congress is in Europe to get
first hand information as to this
work.
To meet this call of the govern
ment the annual meeting of the Col
orado library association and the Col
orado library commission will be held
in the Denver public library on the
afternoon of Friday, September 9TH
and the morning of Saturday. Sep
tember Sth. Any interested citizen
who is in Denver may represent his
town. The War department is send
ing Mr.. Burt Wells of Cleveland and
Mr.. Henry Sanborn of the Indiana
library commission to explain the
scope of the work. These gentle
men are Just returning from the
coast.
The general plan is to have CEN
tral library in each cantonment man
aged by library men of experience.
Women will not be used for this
work. Y. NJ. c. A. and knights of
Columbus buildings, and hospitals
will probably be used as deposit sta
tions. Books and periodicals will fall
INTO several groups; fiction and rec
reational reading, technical books for
the college man, trades books for the
artisan, and for the sick man books
of such weight and size as can be
easily handled.
The government estimates a mil
lion dollars will be needed for this
work. Citizens interested in good
reading for our soldiers are urged TO
attend.

W|NHAM RESIGNS
NORMAL BOARD

Although no announcement has
been made of the fact, the Log Cabin
Democrat has learned from reliable
sources that Allen Winham of Tex
arkana, recently appointed on the
board of trustees of the State Nor
NAL School by Governor Brough, has
resigned. His letter of resignation,
which is in the hands of Governor
Brough, has not yet been made public
Mr.. Winham was appointed by the
governor a short time ago to sue
coed Rev. T. O. Owen of Hot Springs.
Shortly after the appointment was
made it was discovered that Mr.. Owen
had served only three years of a
four-year appointment and had not
resigned. When the matter was
taken up with him, however, Mr..
Owen is said to have declared that
he did not care to contend for the
place and Mr.. Winham was sworn in

that the mix-up regarding the time of

for any of them to make any claims

Helsman Is one OF tho originators OF

drilling his teams in open formations
and his teams were playing football
that other teams could not fathom.
Now In the day Of the forward pass
Helsman Is again Outguessmg them
with a shift, somewhat resembling the
Minnesota SHIFT, which ilelsman orig
mated In 1910.
Those who have seen the Tech shift
declare II is superior to the Minnesota
shift in that all points OF the opposing
line arc assaulted with equal strength.
Heisman has also been able TO develop
great end running on his teams by q
unique method Of throwing a great
mass Of interference in front OF the
runner, seven men always being swun2

Helsman's success has caused unln-
formed critics In the north TO intimate
that scholarship and other collegiate
requirements have not been observed
and that Helsman has a picked team

The fact OF the matter Is That there
are few schools IN the country where

is to prepare to increase their
hog crops 100 per cent.
1t now seems that in the last
analysis the nations richest in
fats and pork will be the victors.
We must have more hogs is
the call, not from the consumers
of the country, but from our
army, and from Belgium, France
England, and Italy.
This striking statement from
the Nation makes us wonder
if we are really doing all we can.
The whole allied world and the
neutrals are now looking to the
United States for help as the
bulwark against worldwide ia
mine. From Finland we have
news that the people are on the
verge of starvation and are now
subsisting on bread made largely
of edible bark. Wheat produc-
ton in France is off so per cent
all foodstuffs 35 per cent and
earnest appeals have just come
from French authorities for more
food. Sweden is issuing bread
ration Is per cent below that
given the German people. In
Denmark and Norway there are
not six months supplies on hand.
Switzerland and Holland are
wholly dependent on us.
The wheat stocks Of the world
have been reduced to the small
lest amount ever known. Flocks
and herds are greatly diminish
ed-as is particularly the case in
| Denmark, whose magnificent
herds are now being deliberately
destroyed, and in Belgium
while the pig is rapidly disap-
pearing.
Mr.. Hoover has tackled prob
lem greater than that under
taken heretofore by any single
man. To him a dozen nations
are coming as their hope to pre-
lserve their people from actual
starvation.
To help feed these countries
as we'll as to furnish food for the
:, armies in the field Mr.. Hoover
has asked Mississippi to raise
more hogs, and more hogs.
Some form of pork seem to be
essential to an efficient army and
large quantities are now needed
for the American soldiers.
Once recognizing the great
need of more hogs, Mississippi
farmers will need no assurance
, of minimum price for this pro
duct. yet assurance is given by
Mr.. Hoover that a rigid contro
r of the packers will be establish
