EVERY MAN IN THE
SERVICE NEEDS BOOKS

We have not forgotten that our men
who are going TO war are human be-
ings. We do not want them to be en-
tirely without home-like influences.
The Library War Service of the Amer
lean Library Association has erected
Camp Libraries at thirty-four train
ing camps, has furnished trained Ii
brary service and is circulating books
throughout the camps by means of
branch libraries in Y. NJ. c. A. and X.
of g huts and Y. W. c. \. hostess
houses. It's service is also extending
to naval bases and ships, and dispatch
offices are maintained ats important
embarkation points. Books are put on
transports for use of the men on the
voyage and are taken off at the end
of the voyage and turned over to the
y. NJ c. A. and X. of c. secretaries,
to chaplains and Red Cross units for
further circulation among the men
over there
Several hundred thousand books
have been placed in Libraries by gift
tor purchase. AS the army increases,
more books are needed. For every
man in service there should be book
in service all the tiThe. A big nation
wide Book Drive is being conducted
this week and every person is invited
to contribute books from his private
collection to be sent to our soldiers
and sailors. Books taken to the Coun-
ty Library marked with the donors
name, will be welcomed.
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 Ii
braries for soldiers and sailors. Gift
books should be selected with care,
for they are to serve virile, impression
able young manhood.
All sorts of books are in demand
at the libraries. NoH-fiction is called
for as much as fiction. The libraries

High Prices Cut Down
 Consumption of Liquor

M LTHOUGH it is almost univer- GN sally conceded that he is on his way to oblivion, interest in the status of John Barleycorn continues una- bated. Particularly do drinking men like to speculate, showing some anx- iety withal, on the available supply and how much longer it will last.
 Information comes from Peoria, that erstwhile stronghold of John Barleycorn, that enough whisky is stored in warehouses there to supply the United States with liquor for the next six years. This is heartening-to the bibulous part of our population. Alarmists have repeatedly stated that there were not enough highballs in sight to last scant two years, even though conservation were practiced.
 With taxes and prices going up, not so much liquor as formerly is going down. A few days ago there were in storage in Peoria 6,130,129.5 gallons, the decimal showing with what metic- ulous care the estimate was made. One

 again Its hand against brother, on it's fore

 J 15,0O0 men over draft age to enlist in the United States guards of the national army, for service in pro- tecting public utilities, is sure to meet with ready response.
 Enlistment will be only for period of existing emergency. Married men will be accepted and the guardsmen will be detailed for duty, as far as practicable, in the vicinity of their homes. The pay will be the same as that of the army in the field.
 Alabamians desiring to enlist should apply to Capt. James B. Hutchinson, stationed in Birmingham, who has charge of the recruiting service in this state. Alabama's quota is not stated, but whatever it may be, the Implications will doubtless far outrun the number that, can be accepted.

 Yes, mother" was the cue for the
 pests to get ready to receive a beating,
 and when John L. said 'Yes, mother" | in that deep bass voice of his, the pests ! braced themselves so as to be able to
 receive the shock which came when the veteran went over the top after them. 1 Sheriffs, collectors and others in the Sullivan companies generally resigned at ] the end of the first weeks engagement without giving in their usual two weeks notice, and often the pugilist had to
 bribe them as well as pay their doctor bill.

HAZARDOUS EXPERIMENT

From the Pittsburg Dispatch.
 The proposal to send the American hos- pital ship Comfort to Europe without escort in the hope that the German U-boats would respect it's character has provoked many protests that it is too hazardous an experiment in view of Ger many's record in attacks on hospital ships and hospitals. Comment in the Berlin Local Anzeiger will strengthen this sus- picion. It asks, sinisterly, what the Comfort will carry on her first voyage to Europe, as she will have no sick or wounded aboard, and suggests aviators and airplanes. This absurd charge has already been offered as an excuse for attacks on other Red Cross ships, and
 the Anzeiger's query is possibly laying
 foundation for another outrage on the
 Comfort, if she is dispatched without escort.
 That such a ship on her first trip
 would carry surgical and hospital sup plies. nurses and attendants, is ignored hv inc German command, which deliber- ately sets out to assume an excuse for attacking her. It is, of course. possible that an official safe conduct might be
 obtained that would perhaps justify trust ing her to the "mercies' of the U-boat
 commanders, but experience has shown that these gentry make mistakes despite governmental assurances. Be- tween a government that considers the
 most solemn obligations mere scraps of ,paper' and submarine commanders who believe "spurlos versenkt' Will cover a multitude of sins. it may be safest to send the Comfort under escort.
