BOOKS FOR OUR
SOLDIERS AND SAILORS

The intensive book campaign con-
Quoted during the past week for
camp libraries was a success from
all reports. An active campaign was
not carried on in this city, as pub
Iished in our last issue, because the
local library has been making a drive
for books for camp Libraries for some
time, and have met with success.
Thousands and thousands of books
are required for military forts, posts,
and small camps: for the naval sta
tions and vessels; for the marine
corps training stations and barracks I;
for the men on transports and over
seas there is need of an almost un-
limited supply. For every man in
service there ought to be book in
service We must also remember that
books wear out in use, and they must
be replaced frequently.
In almost every home there are
books. purchased recently, or stand
ard volumes still popular. which are
seldom referred to. They should be
put to use in these free circulating
libraries for soldiers and sailors. AL
sorts of books are in demand. Non
fiction is called for as much as fic-
ton. The camp Libraries need books
of reference; books on the war; books
on trade, technical and profession
al subjects; recent text books in
mathematics, civil, mechanical, anC
electrical engineering; books of new
and standard poetry. biography, his
tory and travel; and books for Older
boys.
Generous owners of private collec
tions of books are asked to take
such of their volumes as they would
| like to give for the use of soldier:
and sailors and send to the local Ii
brary or call up the library and tn
books will be called for. and they vii
be put te work at once upon CAM
library shelves.

INDIANS ATTEND
PEYOTE Pow WOW

Indians from Wittenberg, Lac dG
Flambeau and this vicinity gathered
at DEVILS Lake Tuesday night and
held another "peyote" meeting. This
deadly drug appears to be sctting
a firmer hold on our red brethren
as their meetings are more numerous
and they are eating more of the stuff.
"Peyote'' is a dried root brought here
from Texas and chewed by the tribes.
1t has a different effect than whiskey
but is sure. death in the end. While
under the influence of it the Indian
claims he can see God. All have cut
out the booze and taken to "Peyote.
The government should stop the prac-
Crandon Republican.

Roads Down South Reportedin
Surprisingly Good Condition
And Driving Down Is About the Only Way To Be
Sure of Having Your Car Along for Use-Sand-
Clay and Gravel Favorite Road Materials

The difficulty of obtaining space for
automobiles on the boats plying be-
tween New York or Savannah or Jack
sonville, coupled with the impossibilty
at present of shipping cars by rail to
points in the Southern states, leaves
to take their cars with them on their
annual southwark winter migration.
This is, Of course, the possibility Of
driving the car all the way through,
but it imne diate1y brings UP the ques-
ton of what condition the roads are in
at the present time.
The manager of the American Auto
mobile Association Touring Bureau,
James A. Hemstreet, has returned from
an extended automobile trip through
out the Southern states. IN the course
of it he covered the trunk route to
Atlanta, as we'll as that to Jacksonville,
over the so-called "Atlantic highway"
This not only demonstrates the prac-
ticability of mid-winter touring in the
Southern states, but also reveals a sur
prlslngly good average of roads on the
main trunk routes leading south.
Florida Roads Better
Motorists who recall conditions as
they existed several years ago will be
agreeably surprised to find how much
work has already been accomplished
toward road Improvement, particularly
in Florida and the Carolinas Virginia.
and Georgia are still somewhat back.
ward in this respect, but even in those
states d gratifying spirit Of progress
slvcness is already beginning to make

Eight Rules for
Saving Gasolene

No matter what The car, or
what its size, the driver can save
gasolenc if he will follow the SIM
pie suggestions made by a Cadil-
lac engineer. Most of them are a
matter of handling the car. Hero
they are-eight Of them:
Carburetor adjustment is of
prime Importance. A mixture that
is too rich or too lean will cause
moro gaso]ene to be used in per-
forming d given amount Of labor
than a correct mixture. But don't
attempt to adjust your carburctor
unless you know how.
Most cars have what may be
termed an economical speed. 1t
ranges from twelve to twenty
miles per hour. When YOU get
above that speed the amount Of
gas used per mile increases.
Anticipate slowing up and stops.
Close the throttle and disengage
the clutch far enough ahead of the
place you want to stop so that
very little use of the brake will be
necessary. Whenever you use the
brakes you destroy momentum
that has required gasolone TO Gre
ate.
Accelerate gradually. 1t takes
less gas to do that than to reach
fast gait quickly.
Whenever you allow the engine
to run with the car STANDING
you are using up gas that doesn't
cake any showing on your odom-
eter.
See that the brakes are proper
~ adjusted. Tight brakes cause
friction and friction takes power
and hence gasolene, to overcome
Good lubricating oil is also es.
sentlal to gasolene economy.
Finally. tires should be properly
inflated. Soft tires drag and re-
qulre more power to propel the
car than tires containing correct
air pressure.
