 Until these books are paid for they will be kept separate from the old ones; and issued to holders of library cards on payment of bingle valued at five cents for each book issued. Bingles may be obtained at Union hall.
 In town, the length of time all lowed will be for one week only for any new book; if the book iS kept overtime fine of 25 cents will be imposed, and no further books in the new series issued to the holder of the card until the fine is paid This rule is adopted to lessen carelessness in the return of the books, as they must be kept circulating if the money to pay the balance due is to be secured promptly
 Out-of-town holders of cards may draw books of fiction and hold them 10 days; but the war books will not be issued out of town at present, as there are too few of them for it to be possible. Later in the winter, as the probable call for them lessens they may be sent to the camps if desired.
 It is expected to have the books on the shelves ready for issue by November 1st. .::.

not quite fair to Washington to compare meat prices here
with meat prices In the West and in small towns

Let me ask the Food Administration which wants 70 be
fair whether it thinks this newspaper this newspaper
writer should withhold from the sunlight any information
any ideas which may help to keep Washington prices
from going higheri
1t may be ridiculous to compare Washington meat
prices with the meat prices the small town of Waenton
Va where son steak costs 80 cents pound but would
be CRIMINAL to prices going higher and higher here
every day and not exert every ounce OF strength to hold
back the advance.
It may be ridiculous to compare Washington tenderloin
steak at so cents with Chcagos at 80 to 40 cents but what

big Bill' Edwards, Uncle Sans Tax Collector

TINE room is a big, handsome
room. In the center Of It
is a big, handsome desk.
Behind this are big, handsome
windows, affording a big, hand
some view.
At the desk sits a big, hand
some man with his back turned
eoldly toward the view. He is
William H. Edwards, United
States Collector Of Internal Reve-
nue. for the Second District of
New York, and the only view he
enjoys these days is q clear view
of an income tax payer unbur-
dening himself of his excess
wealth. This view is beautiful in
deed to big Bill" Edwards.
The present mental attitude Of
Mr.. Edwards is direct and simple
His country needs money. He is
going to get that money for it,
or know the reason why. But the
operation of extracting from re-
luctant individuals a share Of
their earnings is being performed
as umanely and skillfully as any
man can do it. Indeed, there have
been recent instances in which
victims have departed from the
Custom House smiling.
One has heard much of Mr..
Edwards. One studies him with
respectful interest He was a
mighty football player in his col
lege days. Everyone knows that
He would f1atten out any football
player like a piece of tissue paper
by falling upon him now; but even
as the reflection comes, one real
ICES that he is far too kind to fall
heavily upon anybody. The happy
and devoted faces of members Of
his staff prove that His busy
men hesitate a second as they pass
his desk. They hope he will look
up and nod or speak. He usually
does.
