Of the Treasury Department and the

Scores of creditors Of the defunct
Scio Condensed Milk Co., this morning
crowded the circuit court room for the
final adjustment iof their claims
against the company which has declar
ed itself bankrupt in the face of debts
approximating 100000.
Creditors elected e. E. Perry of
Scio, trustee in bankruptcy and filed
their many claims against the COM
pany, a subsidiary of the Logan Com
merciaI Co., Of Seattle. Mr.. Perry g
bond was fixed at $4,000. The meeting
adjourned until April 20 at 10 o'clock,
when creditors will meet for an ex-
animation of the affairs of the defunet
and the parent companies and to ex-
pert the books Of the concern.
Future affairs of the Scio company
will be conducted through the new
trustee in an effort to win some return
TO those who lost heavily through the
operation of the condensary. A plan
to conduct the business under a com
mittee of creditors failed when it was

BOOKS ARE ASKED
| FOR SOLDIER BOYS
People Of Salem Are Asked
to Give Such Good Books
As Can Be Spared

The Salem public library is asking
that each citizen Of Salem look over
their library, select as many good books
as can lie spared, and leave them ON
the front porch tomorrow morning. The
Library viii see that each book finds
its way to a library for soldiers or sail
ors The work will all he done in one

ance to those who leave tie books on
the porch .. front sttp
1hc book campaign, ir Salem, will
last bat ono day, and if enough autonlo-
DilrS can lie secured, rut cne morning.
A collection committee under the dl-
rection of Mrs. Louis Lachmund and
Mrs. X. K. Page, will send out a regi-
lnent of volunteers in automobiles TO
collect the books, and they will be sent
at once to where they can be reached by
the soldiers.
The library, at this time, wants books,
and no magazines or money is desired.
1T is considered necessary to keep the
American sold ers supplied with com
forts aid ,iOme-like influences as much
as possible, and there is no danger of
giving too good books or too many. In
almost every home there are books pur.
chased recently or standard volumns
still good. They should be at once put
in the circulating libraries for soldiers,
but as they arc to serve virile impress
sionable young manhood, they should be
selected with rare.
There is as might be expected, loud
call for detective stories and tales of
adventure The Inen want books. of that
sort which they read before. They find
relaxation in going back over the books
of Conan Doyle, Stevenson and o. Hen
ry. Time being at a premium, some don't
care to risk new things that they are
not sure OF, but prefer to go back to
the old authors with whom they are
familiar.
Surprises are sometimes in store for
the librarian who thinks that the men
care only for fiction. A librarian start
ing in at new post expected that the
first call would be for some book by
or Jack London. He was
somewhat taken abaek when the first

Books are also distributed in the
Jase hospitals and are eagerly received
by soldiers wha are able to read. If
you wish to help them in their weary
hospital days and in their convalescenee
you can reach them best through the
medium OF some good book. Look over
your books and pick out such volumes
as yon think would interest the boy you
know the best, write your name and
address on the inside leaf, and place it |
on the porch tor the collectors in the
morning. Give the book that causes a
