Some few weeks ago a stranger en-
tered the American Library Associa-
ton library at Camp Jackson and in
conversation with John c. Moulton,
the librarian, asked IL he needed any
books and If so what kind. Then the
stranger introduced himself as j. P.
Cooper, vice president OF the Howell
Cotton Company OF Rome Ga.
Mr.. Moulton told him that the H.
brary was in need of certain class
OF books and Mr.. Cooper remarked
htat he would pay for $1O0 worth OF
books and If Mr.. Moulton would Send
him the list he would order them and
pay for them. Mr.. Moulton sent the
list, but the books desired came to
over $500. Mr.. Moulton advised that
Mr.. Cooper get some Of his friends to
go in with him and that they buy the
entire lot OF books. Mr.. Cooper re.
piled that he would himself buy the
books. He therefore paid out $240 for
the books and j.. NJ. King, president

ting time Of the opening Of building
dedicated to Jewish warriors than the
eve OF Chanukah, which marks the
dedication OF the reopening Of the
temple Of ancient Palestine and the
celebration Of the victory Of the Jews
over the autocratic Syrian king in
the year 175 B. G.
