Two million books are needed by
the library war service of the Amer
lean Library association to furnish
reading material to soldiers and sail
ors in camps in America, on trans
ports, on board naval vessels and over
seas A big drive to get these books
is to be carried on throughout the
nation during the week of March
1925. ,.
A fund of a million and half dol
lars was raised last September 10
build camp Libraries at the "a camps,
equip them, provide trained library
service and to purchase such books
as are not given. The buildings are
finished, the libraries are being used
actively and the service is being ex-
tended to branches in all Y. NJ c.. A,
and X. of c. huts, hospitals, Y. W..
c. A. Hostesses houses, and to chap
lains in smaller forts, posts and on
naval vessels. - '-.-.
Several hundred thousand books
have already been given and more
than 100000 books have been pur-
chasedj +,
There are many expensive technical
books needed which will not be sup
piled by gift. In order that the fund
may be used for these purchases, and
for administering and extending the
service, the public is now asked to
make large gifts Of popular books.
These may be left at the public IL
brary. If there is no library in your
town send the books to the princi-
pal of your school or notify the state
agent, Margaret Greene at 'Minot, and
instructions will be sent for shipping
the books \. "

Industry plays as essential and
honorable role in this great struggle
as DO cur military arnamcnts. We
all recognize the truth of this, but
we must also see its necessary i'm
plications namely, that industry,
doing a vital task for The nation,
must receive the support and as
sistance OF the nation"
Therefore. l solemnly urge all
employers engaged in war work to
refrain after August list, 1918, from
recruiting unskilled labor in any
manner except through this central
agency. l urge labor to respond as
loyalty as heretofore to any calls
issued by this agency for voluntary
enlistment in essential industry.
And l ask them both alike to re-
member that no sacrifice will have
been in vain, if we are able TO
prove beyond all question that the
highest and best form of efficiency
is the spontaneous cooperation Of a
free people"

ALL THIS CAMAFLOUCE

January l, 1915, the Georgia Casualty Com pany had in Alabama quite large employers liability business and only small amount of automobile. The eastern companies material ly reduced their employers liability rates in Alabama and without any reason except fic- titious) raised their auto rates approximately 40 per cent The result was that the Georgia Casualty Company kept right on increasing its volume of employers liability and also made drive to increase its automobile business. The people of Alabama placed their confidence in us and our auto premiums from Alabama for 1915 were $45,542.74; for 1916 were $79634.39, and for 1917 they were $1O5, ,25O.OO. The total premiums of the Geor- gia Casualty Company from Alabama in 1915 were less than $11O,OOOOO; in 1916 were $142,OOO.OO, and for the year 1917 over $250,OOO.OO. February, 1917, sees the oppos- ite-the eastern companies are increasing the rates on their general lines and reducing their automobile rates to those of the Georgia Casualty Company.
 The people of Alabama have stood by the Georgia Casualty Company in its fight against exhorbitant rates and by their acts have en- abled this company to enormously increase its premium income, thereby reducing its over head expense, and it will continue to give automobile protection at reasonable rates.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1918-03-01

We have hundreds of policyholders who have already assured of their continued patronage, regardless of rates proposed by the eastern conn panies.
 They told you in 1915, 1916 and 1917 that they could not afford to handle your auto insurance ex- cept at their rates, because their losses Justified their rates, and the automobile insurance the Georgia Casualty Co. should write, the quicker it would go out of business. The fact is, not single one of the eastern conference companies knew what its automobile loss rstio was, because they had never kept separate cost sheets for auto mobile, but instead it was jumbled together with other liability l;nes such employers and public liability, etc. On January 1917, two years ater after their rates increased for Alabama, they decided to clean their slate auto liability and start all over again, and before the end of 1917 they compiled the experience for the first 1O) months of 1917, shown by the Conference (Trust) Companies, and after the short experience period of ten months they acknowledge to the peo- pie of Alabama that they mistaken and the GEORGIA CASUALTY COMPANY WAS EN- TIRELY CORRECT. They secured small vol of business from individuals and cor porations who believed their unfounded asser- tions If they want to treat the people of Alabama fair, they should immediately return to the auto- mobile owners the difference between their high rates and those charged by the Georgia Casualty Company during the years of 1915, 1916 and 1917 Otherwise they have moral right to ask even their own policyholders to continue with them.

conditions in America today with

"A CHICKEN in England costs fourteen
shillings," continued DR.. Newton. Isn't
that an awful price for an American
preacher to pay for a acknowledged
chicken
But it isn't merely the price. The
main toube is, one can not get the
chicken. The people OF Ameica have
as yet not felt what II means to sacri-
flee take it that few Of them know
what it is to feel the pangs of hunger,
or to suffer serious inconvenience be-

there is real sacrifice.
Everything is rationed out to the
people of England. No person. rich or
poor, may have more than one pound
Of meat each week. One pound OF
meat for twenty one meals. That is
only a sample.
