 been fitted up in the courthouse for the surgical dressing department,
 where an instructor from Shreveport, La. has charge of a large class.
 Last Tuesday Was Belgian Day at
 the workroom. Guests from out of
 town were invited, lunch was served
 at the library, and the entire day spent
 in cutting out and making garments
 for Belgian children. In every Red Cross drive Livingston has gone over
 the top on her quota. a fact largely due to the efforts of the women of the Red Cross chapter
 Every time soldiers leave or pass through Livingston the Red Cross chap ter serves refreshments and bids them godspeed- Last week the chapter gave a bounteous barbecue in honor of the drafted soldier boys leaving Sumter county to join the colors.

~HowARD CHASE, RED HILL,
 KANSAS''

By Charles M Sheldon. George H Doran company, publishers, New York
 Howard Chase, Red Hill, Kansas by Charles M. Sheldon. Is a story of big man in a small town-the most gossipy town in Kansas, Howard Chase is a minister with whom all the attractive young ladies in the district fall in love- The story deals with the foibles and foIlies of church folk. The redemption of the town by the creation of the Com munfty club dispels the spirit of gossip and narrowness and self-centered sat- fsfaction, and recreates a clean, whole some, spiritual atmosphere
 Howard Chase is a typical Sheldon book, an inspiring story of high mo- tives and ennobling purposes. There is. too, much that is charming and humor- ous

AMERICA AT WAR

AMERICA AT WAR"
 Edited by Albert Bushnell Hart. George H. Doran company. publishers. New York.
 This work is compendium of data on the causes, events and principles of the world war, so complete that 1t may be called a world almanac of the war" It's purpose is to furnish bibliography and material for speakers and writers on every phase of the subject. It consists of classified references to books and periodicals. and of documents and ex- tracts. on such subjects as international law, freedom of the seas. war finance, organization of industry, compulsory versus voluntary military service, sub- marine warfare, the world peace move ment. and the ideas of peace of each of the nations engaged. In tracing the series of events leading up to our en- trance into the war, both sides are rep resented, and the relation to each other of various diplomatic statements by the different nations is shown. Collections of war books of various prices and extent are suggested. The whole forms a work of reference of great completeness in small compass.
 MT. Hart is editor for the committee on patriotism through education of the National Safety league engaged in an active campaign for home defense leagues in all parts of the country.

-SoNNETs OF SORROW AND
 TRIUMPH"

By Ella Wheeler Wilcox George H. Doran company, publishers, New York
 The poems in this volume are the out come of Mrs. Wilcox's loss of her hus- hand The major portion of the volume is devoted to sonnet sequence addressed by the poet to him. Mrs. Wilcox had intended that these poems, so intensely emotional and wrung from the author s own heart and soul, should not be pub lished until after her death. But friends persuaded her that at this time these poems on a vital and universal theme would reach thousands of sorrowing hearts. As poems, they surely will be re- garded by Mrs. Wilcox's innumerable ad- mirers as the finest things she has ever done Mrs Wilcox is theosophist and believes that she has been in conmuni- cation with her husband constantly since his death The book will have special interest for great many people on that account
 The name of Ella Wheeler Wilcox is a household name. Probably more people have read her verse in the news papers and magazines than the combined readers of all the other verse written She was born in Wisconsin. In 1873 the pretty little Wheeler" as the Milwau- kee News called her. published a vol ume of verse called Shells" and dedi- cated to the people of Wisconsin. ? She was at that time the author of two other. books, one called Drops of Wa ter, and Other Poems. "s Among the best known of her books are: .tMaurine, Poems of Passion and World Voices. ?

"VICkY VAN"

By Carolyn Wells Frontispiece by
 Gayle Hoskins J. B. Lippincott
 company. Philadelphia
 One of the strangest of mysteries in which not the least interesting factor is the curious double personality of one character.
 Versatile Miss Wells has hit the high spot in this fascinating detective yarn. There is hunor love. thrills and real mystery. We have read -Curved Blades and liked it.; '-he Mark of Cain's and liked it. but 'yjcky Van" beats them all vTicky is a per- feet delight even when guilt for mur- der hangs above her brow.
 An attractive young lawyer. Calhoun. tells the story and in sense is the hero of it. yicky Van is a bachelor girl with a gay humor She is uncon- ventional in her manners but never a word is breathed against her reputa- tion. One night Calhoun attends upon vicky to celebrate her birthday. There is a host of friends present and then the murder of a prominent man ard a mystery apparently unso1vable.
 Fleming Stone, the master detectiva now ably assisted by the irrepress- fble Fibsy, the office boy who played his part so well in the famous Mark of Cain'' case, is put upon the trail of the murderer. The complexities of heart and justice seem interminable suddenly the denouement is sprung. You are baffled and always amused by the briIliance of the yarn.

DOING YOUR BIT

Now what have YOU done to help
in the war?
And how have YOU stood the
test
Have you done so much that you
can't do more?
Have you done your level best?
Are you satisfied? Do you think
to quit
Giving aid at your country's call?
Do you pride yourself on doing your
"bit"
When others are doing their ALL?
War calls for the BEST from every
Not merely from those who fight;
Our part in the work has only be-
gun
As we battle for God and Right.
Go to it in earnest and show your
grit,
Americans, great and small:
Drop vour impertinent "doing my
bit"
The least you can do is you ALL.
Our bows at the front are living their
lives,
As Christ gave His life for men:
With God-givcn courage each soldier
strives
That the world NAV be whole again.
In that fury of strife in hell's own
pit
They fight as their comrades fall;
Are Won satisfied to be giving your
"bit."
When heroes are giving their ALL?
