home in West Somerville, Mass, on
Tuesday morning, Feb. 26, after a
long illness and being confined to her

Mrs. Lucy Twombly of Orleans. Mr..
and Mrs. Bush lived in Orleans sew

chester, N. H., and Burlington, VT,
and of late have made their home in
West Somerville, Mass. She is sur
vived by husband and son, Charles
and daughter, Winifred. A short

War Library Needs.

More books are needed for camp IL
braries and for our men "over there
The American Library association
is asking everyone, everywhere
throughout the country to contribute
books to keep the war libraries sup
piled. 1t is not money they are ask
ing this time, but books. On your
bookshelves YOU no doubt have some
that YOU can spare. Wrap them up,
mark "War Library Service" take
them to Orleans library or Austin's
store and they will be sent to the
camps in America and abroad.
The sort of books wanted is fiction,
adventure, Western stories, detec-
tive stories, love stores OF the better
sort, historical novels, books on the
war, electricity, automobiles, wire
less, engineering, poetry, travel, BIZ
ography. ASK Yourself this question,
"Would the men of my acquaintance
enjoy this book" If the answer is in
the affirmative the book is a good one
for camp libraries. Many of the men
are of foreign extraction and not
skilled in the use of English, so there
is a demand for boys books. Books Of
science or engineering should be pub
locations not later than 1910, as tech
nichal books to be useful should be
up-to-date. Magazines or paper-cov-
cred books are not wanted in this
campaign.
Here is an extract from the letter
of Private -- in acknowledgment
of a Christmas box: "Thank you for
the box. If you ever done it good to
anybody, you done it good to me, but
please don't bother to send the eats.
Use all the space for books. Books is
what we want"
Orleans is always ready to lend a
helping hand, so we are looking for a
generous response to this appeal. If
you have no old books IN good cond1-
ton, to spare, bran-new ones will be
equally acceptable. And if you are
unable to bring them to the library
or Austin's store, notify the librarian,
Miss Richmond, and the Boy Scouts
will come for them. The campaign
closes March 25th.

News and Views from this
Hustling Village
The Collapse of the Suffragettes.

The Orleans contingent of the
Women's National Party accompanied
by a number of prominent male citi-
zens, who have always professed to
be ardent dry workers suffered sud-
den shock on Main street early Tues
day morning when they were starting
for town meeting.
The conveyance in which they were
riding was rent asunder and suffra-
gettes as we'll as the aforesaid dry
citizens were piled in heap in the
thoroughfare.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
The whole affair looks like the eff
feet of too much jubilation.
We had heralded the coming of
"Women's Rights" as a boon to clean
politics but the episode certainly puts
a crimp in their reputation.
We do not know whether the wom-
en- were entirely to blame for the in
cident although the weight seemed to
be on their side.
We presume the aforesaid male citi-
zens as gentlemen will take their
share of the responsibility.
However, Frank Wright will have a
sled to repair and we trust the party
voted fright when they reached town
meeting.
