Library War Fund Week.

The week of September Oath has been
designated as the Library War Fund
Week, in which in every State in the
Union campaign will be carried on for
collecting each city's quota of the one
million dollar fund, the amount of money
estimated by the American Library Asso-
ciation necessary to establish Libraries in
the thirty-two cantonments. This money
is to be expended for buildings. eouip-
ment and maintenance of the camp IL
braries
DIR. Henry Van Dyke writes in regard
to this organized campaign by the libra
ries:
"Ohe thing this war has certainly
taught the world is that victory does not
depend solely upon "bg battalions," but
upon large and strong and brave hearts
and minds in the battalions The morale
OF the army is the hidden force which
uses the weapons of war to the best ad-
vantage, and nothing is more important
IN keeping up this morale than supply
OF really good reading for the men in their
hours of enforced inactivity, whether
they are in the trench waiting to renew
the Battle again, or in the hospital wound
ed, and trying to regain strength of body
and mind to go back to the battle for
which they have enlisted. Human fellow
ship, good books, and music are three of
the best medicines and tonics in the
world"
The Belfast Free Library began cam
paign Monday which will be conducted
every day of the week under the leader
ship of the trustees and book committee,
who serve as the local ar council. 1t
has been found that if contributions of
twenty-five cents from each person So
hcited are received, it will not be diff
cult to attain the sum of $3.50 which is
the amount equivalent to five per cent of
the estimated population of Belfast, the
basis on which each library's share of
the million dollar fund is allotted. Vol
untary contributions will be gratefully
received from people in Waldo county in
whose towns there are no public libraries
conducting campaigns, Money may be
sent to Annie L. Barr, Librarian, Belfast
