Books Wanted for Soldiers and Sialor,

Books Wanted for Soldiers and SAILORS
Not the least hopeful sign of the
many which are being brought to
attention. by the war, is the use of the
Libraries provided in training camps
by the Library War Service of the
American Library Association. The
abundent leisure time in the life of an
enlisted man can well be spent in study
and recreational reading. The man re-
turned to civil life will be better for
the reading facilities supplied in camp.
Books are necessary to the soldiers
from the university undergraduate
student-b body. They are equally neces-
sary to the colder seeking promotion
through efficient preparation. We
know how helpful they can be to the
young men who, for the first time,
have plenty of leisure in which to cul-
tivatc the readi..g habit.
The several hundred thousand vol
umes now in camp libraries and
branches are quite inadequate to meet
the demands of constantly increas-
ing army and navy. Men in France,
or fighting at sea in foreign waters,
need books IL leisure hours. Soldiers
on transports and in detached camps,
men in hospitals, all appreciate the
helpful influence CT good books.
The public should be glad to par
ticipate in the nationwide Book
Drive" to be carried on during the
week beginning March Is. Private
collections will furnish the many thou
sands of books needed, whose present
owners will gladly transfer them to
Public Libraries to be sent to Army
and Navy Camps.
The necessity of Public Libraries to
people living under normal conditions
is intensified to soldiers living in
camps under abnormal conditions.
Certainly all may enthusiastically join
in the Book Drive"

SIGNS NEEDED FROM
HERE TO OCHILTREE

MeSsrs. McIlvaine, McGrath and
Evans, all of Lamar, were Canadian
visitors last Monday. They left La
mar early Sunday morning and were
trying to make record run to Cana
dian in a single day. They would
have put the deal across except for
the fact that they could not find the
way from the Ochiltree road to Cana
dian. They could see the lights of
Canadian but every road they took
led them finally up against hoss-
high and bull-strong fence. Two
hundred and forty miles without a
single question about the road and
then spend all night trying to go
eighteen miles of the last end is what
makes difficult for the traveller to
believe in the dope we are putting out.
Let us fix up the signs from here to
the Ochiltree road so that no Ford
can go SO fast that he can't read rs
he runs.-Canadian Record.

The United States Boys
Working Reserve.

The nation needs the boys, the act
i've and energetic assistance of all the
boys between sixteen and twenty-one
years of age.
All boys between 16 and 2l are re-
qucstcd to join the United States Boys
Working Reserve. Every boy has the
opportunity to become vital factor
in winning the war. He will be serv-
ing the nation just as truly as the
man who enlsts in the United States
army. Enrolment cards have been
given all eligible pupils in the High
school but all boys between the above
ages, whether in school or not are
eligible. Enrolment cards can be Sc
cured from A. H Bushey, superintcn-
dent of schools.
Fathers and mothers should see that
their sons are enrolled in this organi-
zation where they can be of the great
est service in winning the war for
democracy. Each boy receives an en-
rollment badge and later a service
nudge as well as an enrolment certifi-
cate. Each boy will remain at home
and work unless he and his parents
elect for him to go away where he
can be of greater usefulness. The
badges should be kept and will be
referred to in the future with pride
as evidence Of the loyal service rend-
cred in the most gigantic war Of all
human history. The primary purpose
of the reserve in to provide food for
the army. All boys should ally them
selves with this organization where
they can do efficient team work for
Uncle Sam.

President Wilson insists that one of
the results of this war must be "the
establishment of an equality of trade
conditions" That would be alright if
we had an equality of producing con-
ditions-equalized to the American
standard. But so long as China and
Japan produce by labor that is willing
to accept low standards of living, we
can have equality of trade conditions
only by meeting the Asiatic standards
or production conditions, and we don't
propose to do it. We don't believe
American labor will consent to be

Before They VIII he Sent
Across Waters,

The United States marine corps
recruiting stations have been in
formed that in the future only ma
rines who qualify as sharpshooters
will see service with the marines on
duty in France.
Every opportunity is given a man
to qualify as sharpshooter at the
Paris Island marine corps training
camp, but those who fail to make the
sharpshooter's qualifications on the
range will be attached TO units doing
duty in navy yards and also to duty
with the marines on the nayy's big

II Is estimated that about seventy
per cent of the men qualify as/sharp-
shooters. and these will be the men
who will see service in France with
the marines, the others being as
signed to naval and other duties.
Applications for enlistment in the
marine corps are now being re-

towns and men who desire TO Join
