LIBRARY NOTES

Don't forget that the library has
copy of Mary Shipman Andrews
"Three Things" on which the play
"The Unbeliever" is founded. It is
short story, not over an hours read
ing, and one of the finest bits Of pa
triotism one can find.
And then you will want to read
"Face to Face with Kaiserism" which
continues Ambassador Gerard's story
of his "Four Years in Germany"
Leave your "want" at the library, by
telephone if you wish, and you will
be notified when either book is in.
Then in war stories read Mary
Robert Rinehart's "The Amazing In
terlude," which ran serially in the
Saturday Evening Post this spring.
You will get clear picture of Bel
gium and what the little Belgian
army has endured and you will fol-
low very winsome romance.
And add to these "The Challenge
of the Present Crisis" in which Har-
ry E. Fosdick, brother of the Ray
mond Fosdick at the head of the
Recreation Activities in the War
Camps, tells of the faith that is in
him because of what the war has
brought to a focus in his thinking
It's a splendid, clear, ringing mes
sage, full of courage. This, too, is a
little book, but packed full lof thot
And for the boys and girls there
is "The Belgian Twins" or life ir
peaceful, happy Belgium Of five years
ago.
You can get a 32 page pamphlet
on "Home Canning and Drying o.
Vegetables and Fruits" for the ask
ing at the library, as long as the,
last. They were sent by the Ma
tional War Garden Commission.
