it's own automobile delivery system at
all the camps where it's libraries have
been completed, and daily deliveries
are made to all Of these branches"
and stations.
The men are allowed to take books
out Of the library and keep them from
week to two weeks. There Is no
penalty attached to overtime retention
Of book. In fact, penalties are not
necessary, for the men appreciate the
books so thoroughly that they are as
sisting the camp librarians y every
possible manner.
Sending Books to France.
With its system of camp librarians
well organized, the American Library
Association War Service is gradually
developing its overseas service. By es-
tablishing dispatch station 1t has be-
gun q systematic distribution Of books
to soldiers and sailors on overseas
duty. From the dispatch Office books
are being sent to naval vessels of all
classes and are being placed aboard
army transports for the soldiers back
of the trenches.
The Y. M. G. A. has arranged to put
on transports book cases holding about
125 volumes each. Books for these
cases are being supplied by the A. L. A.
which later will supply the cases also.
These collections will be used as cir
culating libraries on the voyage and
will be emptied at the port of debarka-
ton in France, returning to America
to be refilled The work Of distributing,
the books in France will be done by the
chaplains, the Y. M. G. A., the Knights
of Columbus, the Red Cross and the
Y. w. G. A., The A. L. A. will not at
tempt to set up libraries in France.
DIR. NJ. L. Raney, librarian of Johns
Hopkins university, has gone to France
as representative Of the A. L. A. His
main responsibility will be to make
certain that the books arriving In
France get into the hands of the men.
The A. L. A. War Service wishes also
to arrange with the war department to
add to the flow of books to France by
having every soldier that goes across
carry a book with him, book that ne
and his companions will read on the
way over and then hand to the Y. M. q.
A. representatives upon his arrival to
be sent to other soldiers.
Rockingham post-dispatch. [volume] (Rockingham, N.C.) 1917-1965, 1918-03-07

Burton E. Stevenson, the author,
who is camp librarian at Camp Sher-
man, O., says that the first three re-
quests that came to him were, first,
for a book on the valuation of public
utilities; second, for a book on con-
servation of national resources, ana,
third, for Roumanian dictionary. He
supplied the first two and later fur
nished the Roumanian dictionary.
A young soldier walked into Mr..
Stevenson's office and asked for book
on motors. Mr.. Stevenson found one
which looked highly technical. The
young soldiers turned over the leaves
and handed it back.
"Shucks," he said, II drew the pic
lures for this book. I want something
more advanced"
Mr.. Stevenson promptly sent for a
more advanced book.
Public Libraries Help.
A system of borrowing books from
public libraries all over the country
has proven great aid to the camp
librarians and they have been making
the most of this privilege. All the IL
braries are doing their bit toward max
ing the leisure hours Of the soldiers
happy by lending the camps what they
need.
The camp librarians have found out
that an extremely high percentage of
the soldiers want to study. Most of
them are ambitious to rise and are TAX
ing advantage of the opportunities Of
fered them by the American Library
association to read serious books. Be-
cause Of the demand for serious litera-
ture the association has determined
to spend most Of the money it has for
serious books and to look to the public
to donate fiction and light literature.
In the near future it will launch an in
tensive campaign for gift books. Judg-
ing from the freedom with which the
public has given books so far the asso.
citation has no misgivings as to the
outcome Of its campaign.
The reason the campaign has not
been made before Is that the associa'
ton wanted to perfect Its organization
and arrange for the prompt handling
Of the great food Of books it is ex
pecting. So far the standard Of books
donated has been high. Few persons
have shown an inclination to rid theil
library shelves Of useless volumes al
the expense Of the soldiers and sailors
On the contrary, the best books havt
been given. Occasionally undesirable
books are sent it, but they are prompt
ly thrown away by the librarian. Ii
fact, those who might be inclined t
send such books may as well save tn,
energy It would take to dispatch them
They will never reach the soldiers.
Before Its camp library building
were completed the association dis
tributed its books through the chap
lains Of the Y. M. G. A.. the Knights
Columbus, the Red Cross and othe
organizations. which gladly volur
teered to handle them. These organ
cations are still assisting in camp di!
tribution by receiving books at thei
stations. The A. L. A. has establishe

Cheap Liquid Sugar

The sugar shortage has encouraged
Louisiana planters to broaden the use
Of pure cane strip, which Is made from
cane Juice, without taking out any OF
it's sugar. This juice is boiled to Q
point Just below that required to crys-
talize it into sugar, and can be used
not only for griddle cakes and candy
making, but it is recommended by the
planters as a sweetening for coffee and
tea, 1t is practically sugar in a liquid
form, and on basis Of eight cents q
pound retail for granulated sugar will
Weld economies of 40 to 80 per cent,
at price Of four and one-half to five
cents a pound for strip.

UNION CITY FAIR GROUNDS
BRING VERY FAIR PRICE
Sold to Some of the Best Citizens of
the County.

Quite a number of people attend
ed the sale of the fair grounds at the
courthouse Wednesday and there was
some spirited bidding. The city last
week, thru the Mayor ard Aldermen
voted to buy the grounds and con-
vert them into a municipal park,
aviation, target field, and for other
public purposes. But some private
parties, represented by j. A. Coble,
outbid them. The grounds were sold
for $4,000 cash. The Indebtedness
is about $4,000, and leaves balance
of over $4,000 to be divided among
the stockholders Mr.. Coble informs
us that parties interested in the
ownership will preserve the grounds
and the forest intact for public uses,
and when the war is over it is the
intention of these gentlemen to re-
sumo the operation of the county
fair.
Quite a number of the old stock
nolderS expressed themselves as De-
ing well satisfied with the price
brought and pleased that the pros
poets are for the fair to continue.
Quite number of the stockholders
of the old association are interested
in buying the grounds as follows:

MILL PROPERTY SOLD
FOR CANNING INDUSTRY

J. A. Coble, representing the Union
City Canning Co., bought the Askins
& Dircks Lumber Co. mill site and
plant Wednesday at private sale.
We understand the price was $4,000,
and we are informed that extensive
preparations are being madc to en-
large the tomato and canning plant
in Union City, the mill site and
buildings to be used for that purpose.
At present r. E. Craig and others
will take the saw mill plant over
to operate spoke and handle fac
tory.
This is certainly a very cncourag-
ing prospect for the businesss inter
ests of Union City and for the tomato
and truck growers of the county.
No doubt this year and next this
industry will be enlarged to do an
immense business at this point AL
ready very large acreage of to-
matoes is being planted. The acre
age was solicited by the company
here and will continue to grow.

BRITISH Line HOLDS
WITH SUCCESSFUL
COUNTER ATTACKS
HAIG's NIGHT sTATMENT.

London, March 27.-The British
forces are not only offering strong
resistance to heavy enemy attacks
both north and south of the River
Somme, but have carried out numer-
GUS counter-attacks during the day,
resulting in the regaining of ground
and the driving back of the Germans
at various points.
The report from Field Marshal
Haig tonight declares that In these
operations heavy casualties have
been inflicted on the enemy.
The text of the statement reads:
1.-THE battle was renewed this
morning with great violence south
and north of the Somme. Intense
fighting has taken place during the
day from south Of Rosiercs to north
of Ablainville (Ablainzevelle).
IAN unsuccessful attempt made by
the enemy last night to drive in our
line south of the Somme was follow
ed this morning by series Of heavy
attacks in the neighborhood Of
Rosicres and to the south of that
place. At Rosieres all the enemy's
assaults have been beaten off by our
troops, who inflicted heavy casualties
on the enemy.
Farther north our line was main
tanned thru the earlier part of the
day, in spite of great pressure from
large hostile forces.
Later in the day fresh German
attack developed in this area, with
the result that our line was taken
back a short distance to the west.
Later reports show that our counter
attacks have again completely re-
stored the situation"
